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 letter 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.

Our sixth letter, 'Let’s Reimagine How Your Home Is Sold,' is the final touchpoint in the 30-day sequence. It emphasizes creativity and strategy, showing the homeowner that selling their home requires more than just putting it on the market—it requires innovation. This letter sets you apart from other agents by highlighting the advanced tactics and marketing tools you bring to the table.
Letter 4, 'Why Your Home Didn’t Sell—and How to Fix It,' takes the conversation deeper. It identifies potential reasons their home didn’t sell and introduces a specific solution: the Professional Listing Review. This letter combines empathy with actionable value, inviting the homeowner to explore how minor changes could lead to major results. It’s an important part of the sequence, transitioning from trust-building to offering practical help.
The best marketing connects with your audience by addressing their unique situations and challenges. Customers aren’t one-size-fits-all—they’re a mix of life stages, from newlyweds to retirees, each with specific needs and motivations. The smartest agents know that niching down their message is the fastest way to drive up their revenue.
One niche you might be overlooking? Downsizers. A recent survey by Bright MLS found that 6% of homeowners over 60 plan to sell this year, with downsizing as their number one reason. By crafting messaging that speaks directly to their pain points—like rising costs, excess space, or the desire for simpler living—you can position yourself as the go-to agent for this high-potential market.

If you want to grab attention and convert curiosity into action, this campaign is your blueprint.
It’s built around three powerful marketing tactics designed to engage and persuade: Small Agreements, Objection Handling, and the Power of a Client Case Study.
By inviting homeowners to take a simple, no-pressure step—like texting for a free home value report—it lowers barriers, builds trust, and encourages incremental commitment.
At the same time, it proactively addresses a common objection: “I don’t want to sell my home,” reframing the conversation to focus on clarity and future possibilities.
Including a real client success story—selling a home for $25,000 over Zestimate—adds credibility and proves your expertise, making your offer even more compelling.
Together, these strategies create a message that inspires action and helps you win your next listing.
Pro-Tip: Add your client’s testimonial in the P.S. to build even more credibility and trust.

The last letter in this campaign, 'A Lot Has Changed,' is a 6-month follow-up designed to re-engage homeowners who didn’t relist earlier. It acknowledges the time that has passed and highlights how the market has shifted in their favor. This letter is all about rekindling interest and offering a fresh perspective, positioning you as the go-to agent when they’re ready to relist.
Letter 5 in the sequence is 'Before You Relist, Do This First.' At this stage, the homeowner is beginning to see the value in a strategic relisting. This letter offers a detailed market analysis as a key step before making their next move. It’s designed to position you as a resourceful and knowledgeable partner, providing the clarity they need to make an informed decision.
Letter 3 in our campaign is 'Persistence and Proven Results.' This is where you build trust through storytelling. By sharing a specific success story, you show the homeowner that selling after an expired listing is not only possible but also achievable with the right approach. This letter reinforces your persistence and commitment, showing them that you’ll go the extra mile to get results.
This is the second letter in the campaign: 'The Biggest Mistake Expired Listings Make.' Now that you’ve established empathy with the homeowner in Letter 1, this letter shifts the focus to education. It identifies a critical mistake many sellers make—relisting without a strategy—and positions you as the expert who can help them avoid it. This letter is all about building credibility and gently challenging their assumptions about what it takes to sell a home.
Welcome to the first letter in our expired listings campaign: 'The Frustration of an Unsold Home.' This letter sets the tone for the entire sequence. It acknowledges the homeowner’s frustration, validates their experience, and positions you as a solution-oriented agent. It’s designed to open the door for meaningful engagement by addressing the emotional pain points many expired homeowners feel. Use this letter to establish trust and empathy right from the start.
Expired listings present one of the most profitable and overlooked opportunities in real estate. These homeowners are motivated—they’ve already made the decision to sell, invested time and energy, and now feel frustrated and let down by the process. By focusing on expired listings, you can position yourself as the solution they’ve been waiting for.
Here’s why this niche should be a cornerstone of your business:
1. The Numbers Speak for Themselves
Based on available data, nearly 40% of expired listings are relisted within the first 30 days, and many of these homeowners choose to work with a new agent. That’s your window of opportunity. By targeting this group early, with the right messaging and strategy, you can establish trust and secure listings before your competition.
But it doesn’t stop there. Some homeowners take longer to re-engage, which is why a long-term follow-up approach—like our 6-month campaign—can capture those who are ready later.
2. High Intent, Frustrated Sellers
Unlike other lead sources, expired listing homeowners are already committed to the idea of selling. Their frustration isn’t with the idea of moving—it’s with the process that failed them.
These sellers are looking for:
- A proactive agent who can deliver results.
- A fresh strategy that avoids the mistakes of their first attempt.
- Clarity on what went wrong and how to fix it.
When you show empathy, expertise, and persistence, you stand out as the agent who can turn their situation around.
3. A Problem You Can Solve
The primary reasons listings fail to sell are:
- Pricing: The home wasn’t priced correctly for the market.
- Marketing: The home wasn’t effectively marketed to the right buyers.
- Presentation: The home didn’t appeal to buyers visually or emotionally.
With your expertise, these problems are solvable. By targeting expired listings, you’re working with sellers who need your skills—not just someone to list their home again.
Expired listings are a goldmine of opportunity, but success requires more than just sending out a postcard and hoping for the best. It’s about empathy, persistence, and offering clear solutions. With the data we’ve gathered and the systematic approach outlined here, you can turn expired listings into a cornerstone of your real estate business—and build a reputation as the agent who gets results.
Let’s dive into the sequence and strategies that will set you apart in this lucrative niche!
This is a hidden-gem of a campaign. Right now, most people ONLY circle prospect on their sales but if you think about it – you can do this for you buyers as well. That’s why we love the Buyer Circle Prospecting Letter. When you help a buyer find a home, tell all the neighbors about the story. This position you as a local expect and helps you start more conversations with prospective sellers.
This sales letter works because it’s timely, relevant, and low-pressure. It starts by grabbing attention with a 12% jump in mortgage applications—a statistic that feels significant, especially when paired with the 52% year-over-year increase. This creates curiosity and positions you as a knowledgeable expert.
It’s effective because it connects the data to the reader’s situation. By highlighting the growing pool of buyers and how it could lead to more offers and higher prices, it gives homeowners a reason to consider their options.
The call-to-action is simple: “Text me your address.” It feels personal, easy, and offers immediate value—a professional home value report. Even if they’re not planning to sell, it’s worth it to stay informed. The calm, conversational tone builds trust without any pressure, making it more likely they’ll take action.
This letter stands out because it delivers useful information, offers real value, and makes it easy for homeowners to respond.
Scarcity sells, especially in real estate.
Tell someone they can’t have something, and suddenly it’s all they can think about.
That’s the psychology behind this campaign. It opens with a line most agents would never dare send: “I really shouldn’t share this listing with you…”
From there, it trades in curiosity, not information. No price. No exact address. Just a handful of vivid details, a whisper of exclusivity, and a simple CTA: text “VIP” to learn more.
This isn’t about announcing a listing, it’s about creating demand before it hits the market.Send it, and you’re not just marketing a home. You’re making it feel like an opportunity buyers can’t afford to miss.
A good Coming Soon campaign doesn’t just build anticipation—it builds connection.
This letter taps into something we see all the time in tight-knit neighborhoods: someone hears a home is hitting the market, and immediately thinks, “I wonder if [friend/family member] would want to live here…”
We designed this campaign to make that moment more powerful.
It gives neighbors first-look access plus insider prep details they won’t find online—creating a sense of trust, transparency, and exclusivity. It makes them feel like they’re in the loop, not just on the list. And if they know someone looking? You’re now the obvious person to call.
This isn’t just a teaser. It’s a hand-delivered reason to talk about your listing before it goes live. Use it to spark conversations and referrals.
Most Just Listed letters are forgettable. This one isn’t.
Because it doesn’t just announce a listing,it answers the one question every homeowner actually cares about: “Why should I care?”
This campaign leads with value: It highlights the specific, strategic improvements you made to prep the home, giving neighbors real ideas they can apply to their own property, whether they’re selling now or two years from now.
It does three things at once:
✔ Shows the caliber of work you do behind the scenes
✔ Educates homeowners on what buyers in their neighborhood really care about
✔ Keeps you top-of-mind as the expert who understands how to market a home, not just list one
It’s not just a listing announcement. It’s a positioning play.
Right now, the typical homeowner wants $39K more than buyers are willing to pay. And too many agents are losing the conversation before it even starts, because they’re not showing the cost of a bad plan in real terms.
That’s what this campaign is built to do.
It takes sellers out of “let’s test the market” mode and shows them, clearly and calmly, how that mindset leads to a $23,000 mistake they never saw coming. Use this letter to reframe what smart pricing actually means in today’s market.
We based the $23K on a $500,000 home, factoring in two to three months of mortgage, taxes, insurance, and utilities. You can adjust the number to better reflect average home prices in your market.
Just because it’s off the market doesn’t mean it’s off the table.
This final campaign in The Summer Expired Series takes a direct-response approach—and it works because it’s simple, specific, and grounded in buyer behavior.
You’re not asking for a listing. You’re surfacing a possibility.
The message is straightforward: Buyers love off-market deals. And if the seller still has a number in mind, you have buyers who may be ready to act—without showings, Open Houses, or disruption.
This is the kind of outreach that feels less like a pitch, and more like a professional courtesy.
And while the tone is slightly different from the rest of the series—more casual, more direct—it’s still part of the same rhythm, building on the trust, clarity, and CTA repetition you’ve established all along.
Sometimes the smartest move is the one no one’s expecting.
There’s one high-leverage play most agents never mention—and most sellers never consider.
The Reverse Offer Strategy in The Summer Expired Series flips the dynamic. Instead of waiting for buyers to make a move, you make the first one. With precision. With confidence. With a complete offer tailored to someone who already showed interest.
This campaign feels personal and consultative, like you're sharing a trade secret.
It’s especially effective for homeowners who feel close to giving up. Why? Because it introduces a bold strategy at the exact moment they think they’ve run out of options.
And just like every campaign in this series, it closes with the familiar CTA: a 15-minute Summer Strategy Call that builds trust through repetition and offers real next steps.
Price isn’t always the problem. Exposure is.
Most sellers assume their home didn’t sell because it was priced too high.
And sometimes, that’s true. But more often, it’s because their agent never got the home in front of the right buyers.
That’s what this campaign challenges head-on.
Campaign 4 of The Summer Expired Series introduces a set of high-leverage marketing strategies most sellers have never heard of—reverse prospecting, YouTube pre-roll, geo-fenced retargeting, and more. It’s not smoke and mirrors. It’s smart, targeted exposure.
And it does two things instantly:
- Reframes the seller’s thinking.
- Elevates your positioning.
The tone stays grounded, never hypey. The message: you have options beyond a price cut—and a partner who knows how to execute.
And once again, we repeat the same call-to-action—because repetition builds recognition, trust, and momentum.
This campaign is a powerful differentiator for any seller who thinks they’ve “tried everything.”
When a listing doesn’t sell, it’s easy to hit pause—especially in the summer.
This campaign meets homeowners in that moment. It doesn’t push. It presents. Three timely, data-backed reasons to reconsider waiting: falling rates, motivated buyers with deadlines, and rising competition on the horizon.
We start with empathy. We follow with insight. And we close with the same clear CTA sellers have seen in Campaigns 1 and 2 of The Summer Expired Series—because repetition builds trust, reduces friction, and creates a sense of steady, strategic momentum.
Every campaign in this series drives toward the same action: A 15-minute Summer Strategy Call that positions you as the agent with a plan—not just a pitch.
Every seller wants a better result—but few stop to assess what actually went wrong.
That’s what makes this campaign in The Summer Expired Series different.
Instead of jumping into a new plan or pushing for a price drop, we hand the homeowner a mirror. The Home Sale Scorecard invites them to evaluate their last listing like a pro would—with clear, direct questions about pricing, prep, marketing, and exposure.
It’s simple, disarming, and incredibly effective. Because once a seller sees the gaps, they’re far more open to a better strategy—and a better agent.
This isn’t about assigning blame. It’s about creating clarity.
And clarity builds confidence.
A self-assessment that resets the conversation—and sets the stage for a smarter relist strategy.
Don’t ask for the listing. Earn their attention first.
When a seller feels burned by the process, the last thing they want is another pitch.
What they do want? Proof that you're different. That you're helpful before you're hired. That you see details others overlook.
That’s why Campaign 1 in The Summer Expired Series leads with value.
Instead of telling homeowners how to “boost curb appeal” or “increase value,” we flip the script—Here’s how to instantly attract more buyers…without a major reno.
This first postcard sets the tone: generous, strategic, and persuasive. It meets sellers where they are—hesitant, but still hopeful—and gives them quick wins they can trust.
This campaign is a spin on the proven Magic Buyer strategy—specifically tailored for your clients who are looking for an investment opportunity.
You’re still leveraging real buyer demand to spark off-market conversations, but the message is tailored to homeowners that have properties that need to be renovated.
Tiffany Vasquez sent 88 Magic Buyer Letters and got 15 responses, 10 interested homeowners, and 5 potential listings.
Tre Serrano sent 50 and walked away with 2 listings.
This letter delivers the same results by focusing on what works: a real buyer and a message that feels personal, specific, and low-pressure.
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.
