When you’ve sold a few homes in the same neighborhood, something shifts. You don’t just know the market—you know the buyers, the timing, and what it takes to get a deal done.
This postcard is designed to capitalize on that kind of momentum.
It opens with a confident question—Why are so many of your neighbors hiring me?—then delivers proof: multiple nearby sales, strong results, and a compelling offer that flips the usual listing pitch.
It’s direct, credible, and built to spark conversations.
Pro tip: Follow up with a Magic Buyer Letter for anyone who shows interest—include real numbers, real stories, and a reason to call you back.
14.3% of deals were canceled in April.
That’s not just a headline—it’s a conversation starter. And this letter is designed to turn that market reality into a moment of connection with sellers who’ve pulled their homes off the market.
We’re not pitching. We’re not pressuring. We’re showing up with empathy, insight, and a clear reason to reach out right now.
This campaign works because it meets the seller where they are:
→ Discouraged but not done
→ Skeptical, but still open
→ Burned out, but hoping for a better plan
It validates their experience, shows you’ve done your homework, and makes a thoughtful offer—without asking for anything in return.
Send this to homeowners who canceled, expired, or withdrew their listings this spring.
This letter is built for one purpose: to help you start meaningful conversations with homeowners as we head into the summer season.
It’s an updated variation of Reasons Why People Are Selling This Summer—the campaign Gretchen Coley used to generate a $2.1M listing that sold in just two weeks.
The message is timely, relevant, and direct. It speaks to what sellers are actually thinking about right now: rates, timing, uncertainty, and whether it’s still a good time to sell.
Use this version to establish a new farm—or re-engage an existing one.
Just don’t forget to personalize:
- Include your local days on market
- Add real data about home values or recent activity
- Keep the call to action clear and simple
Direct mail doesn’t need 12 months to work. It just needs the right message at the right time.
Most “Just Sold” campaigns flex speed. This one shows staying power.
Because sometimes, the best proof of your value isn’t how fast you sell a home—but how you show up when it doesn’t sell quickly.
This letter is designed to highlight your unique value: persistence.
You didn’t panic.
You kept showing up, kept marketing, and delivered the result your clients deserved.
Use this campaign to tell that story—so future sellers know exactly who to call when the sale isn’t easy, and the stakes are high.
Sometimes, when a great home hits the market, the best buyer isn’t a stranger—it’s a friend or family member of someone already living nearby.
Use this letter when you’ve listed a home in a tightly knit community and want to tap into the power of word-of-mouth. It’s thoughtful, personal, and written in a way that reflects the pride neighbors already feel about where they live.
The goal isn’t just to promote the listing—it’s to help the right story reach the right people, through someone they trust.
Nearly 30% of CMA request leads transact within 12 months, making home value reports one of the most effective tools for generating future business. This direct mail campaign captures attention with the hook, “Have you received your 2024 home value report yet?”—a question that implies homeowners should already have this information, encouraging them to reach out.
The direct mail postcard highlights the limitations of online tools, which often fail to capture market nuances and lead to inaccurate estimates. To strengthen the message, include a real example. Replace the placeholder $XX,XXX with a client story where an online estimate undervalued their home. Real-life proof builds credibility and reinforces the value of your expertise.
Pro-Tip: Print this as a MEGA postcard. A/B test both the letter and postcard version of this campaign in your market to see which performs better.

Words can develop a reputation.
And the "Cash Offer" has been abused.
We all know that it can be a viable option for a specific type of consumer, but it can feel predatory when it's pitched a certain way.
So, we've developed a new campaign.
It's the anti-gimmick approach.
Here's why it works:
1. The front of the card grabs attention
2. The language takes the pressure off the consumer and puts you on the same side of the table
3. It includes social proof to prove that you're great at your job
4. It ends with a direct response CTA
See what you think. 👇

S/O to Jeremy Davis from Palm Agent.
If you haven't downloaded their app, they have a killer feature that allows you to calculate the holding cost based on the sales price.
If a home is on the market for 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, 120 days—how much does it actually cost the consumer to have their property sit on the market?
Let's say, for example, that a $725,000 home is on the market for 90 days. The holding costs could be upwards of $19,000-20,000.
Most sellers wouldn't know that. In their mind, what's the big deal if it's 7 days or 45 days?
It matters because it could literally cost them thousands of dollars in equity they've earned.
This campaign is a great opportunity for you to communicate why your ability to sell a home quickly actually matters to the consumer.
Plus, it'll stand out in the mailbox.
Show me that you know me.
You've probably heard this phrase before. Good marketing builds credibility with your prospect by showing them that you understand them.
This strategy is an opportunity to get inside the mind of your prospect, include local data or market trends, and speak to the most common reasons why they might consider selling now.
You might be surprised to see how well your message resonates.

This is one of the best direct response campaigns that was originally written as an email, but could also be translated into direct mail.
The Name Your Price strategy has generated hundreds of millions of dollars in listings because it's so incredibly simple—
One message. One call-to-action.
This is a campaign that you can send every 4-6 months, and you're going to get listings.
Gretchen Coley sent out this campaign and generated 130 conversations, 8 listings.
Now here's the thing—Gretchen didn't just send the postcard and wait for people to reply.
She sent the postcard, got a few replies, then also picked up the phone and made phone calls.
If you want to get an ROI from direct mail marketing, you've got to go the extra mile to send the postcard and make the call as well.
Felt like Expired letters needed a little love.
Rather than just another sales pitch, you want to connect with the homeowner on a deeper level.
Here's why this Expired letter hits different—
1. Show them that you know them. They probably have had a wave of agents reach out since their home didn't sell. Acknowledge the fact, then put yourself on the same side of the table: You're not buying it.
2. Empathize with their situation: You're frustrated, disappointed, and likely pretty annoyed…
3. Deliver the anti-sales pitch. Be objective in why their home didn't sell.
4. Personalize the pitch. Show them that you've done your research. You're invested: To sell for top dollar, there are 10 essential marketing tactics. I’ve reviewed your home on the Multiple Listing Service and you’re missing 6 of them.
5. Value > Pressure. Offer your insights and value upfront without asking anything in return.

Jason Wright brilliantly executed the Name Your Price direct mail campaign.
The results?
5000 sends. 500+ QR code scans. 8+ listing appointments.
And here's the thing—he only included a QR code. That's it. (see the example below)
The QR code drove traffic to a custom landing page where the consumer answers 3 quick questions:
1. The price they'd want to list for
2. Their property address
3. Their email and contact info
(He did this via a typeform survey on the landing page that integrates into Follow Up Boss)
Then he followed up immediately.
Marketing—done like this—is magic. 🔥
To create your own QR code, simply build your landing page, add the URL to the Canva template below, and download your design as PDF Print. Watch this video to see exactly how to do it. 👇
If you have a qualified buyer, but nowhere for them to go, that's not a problem—it's an opportunity.
That's exactly what the 2024 Magic Buyer Letter is about.
It's an opportunity for you to go the extra mile for your buyer.
It's an opportunity for you to start more conversations.
It's an opportunity for you to generate more listing opportunities.
As you adapt this campaign to fit your market, your buyer, and your brand, make sure you include:
1. Specific data points about who your buyer is and what they're looking for
2. Social proof to prove that you're great at your job
3. Your personal cell number
4. A direct response CTA in the p.s.
We like to tell the consumers that selling is easy, fast and simple.
This message gets reinforced through postcards that tout results like:
“Sold in 3 days” or “Above Ask Price”
This devalues our service.
So what’s the alternative?
Show the sweat.
This is a postcard my team at Curaytor created for our client, Gretchen Coley.
Here’s what I love about this postcard:
- There’s a hook “Even our clients were shocked”
- We highlighted the pain the customer was experiencing
- We broke down our strategy (showed the how)
- We provided a specific performance metric to help reinforce the story
- We ended with a clear call to action

Every time you complete a CMA, it's an opportunity to start more conversations—and book listing appointments.
S/O to Steve Stych who sent the exact letter that you'll see below, and got a listing appointment that turned into a signed listing. He then sold that listing in 2 days. The total cost to mail out the letters was about $225. And the GCI he's generated from this campaign? $15,000.
Take your most marketable CMA and turn it into a direct mail campaign to generate seller leads every week.
The process goes like this:
1. Do 5-10 CMAs per week.
2. Highlight the most notable one.
3. Send out this direct mail letter.
Pro-Tip: Include your selling programs on the right side of the letter so they know their selling options.
This is how you generate high-quality leads without paying a profit-crushing referral fee.
This tactic is fire.
If you want to generate more opportunities with less effort, take your best performing email or social campaigns and turn them into a postcard/letter that you can mail to your farm.
Doubling down on your winners is how you can get more listings in a low inventory market.

If you're looking for a strategy to build instant rapport with prospects, it's this one.
Every homeowner wants to feel like they made a smart investment buying when they did, where they did.
This is an opportunity for you to affirm their decision and prove it with relevant market data.
The flattery angle is a smart way to engage the consumer, provide value, and build trust.
And of course, don't just send the campaign and stop there.
Hit the phones to follow-up.
If buyer demand is on the rise in a particular neighborhood, this is a great campaign to send:
1. It educates the potential seller on the current market trends they should know about.
2. It creates a sense of curiosity about their home's value.
3. It positions you as the local expert.
Send this direct mail campaign out to a hot neighborhood near you and hit the phones to follow-up.

This is a great angle that answers the question "Why should I sell now?"
Here's why it works:
1. It highlights relevant, specific market trends that they'd care about. You're not waiting for permission to be helpful. You're actively bringing information to them that they should know about.
2. It includes a compelling, direct response CTA.
3. It builds rapport and trust. It makes the communication feel more personal and less like a standard sales pitch.
Most people don't know all their options when it comes to selling their home.
Whether it's a Cash Offer, Fix & Flip, Buy Before You Sell, or a Traditional Sale—educate the consumer on the options they have when they work with you.
This direct mail letter is a great example—it's value-first, but it includes a section where they can compare their options.
This is a subtle way to provide value, build trust, and educate the consumer on how you can help them navigate this market.
This is a fantastic Just Sold angle.
