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.
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.
Next time you need an Expired letter, give this one a try. 👇
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.
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. 🔥

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
Put it to work for you. ⬇️
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.
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 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.
S/O to Cole Team Real Estate for executing this brilliantly.
This is a strategy we like to call Market your marketing.
It's one of the best ways to turn your recent sales into more listings.
This is more than just a success story, it's proof that you're great at your job.
By highlighting a specific marketing metric, you demonstrate your ability to get their home in front of more prospective buyers—something sellers value a lot.
