This letter is designed to help homeowners who are hesitant to sell because they’re worried about finding their next home. It addresses their concerns, offers solutions, and builds trust with a clear, low-pressure call to action.
Why It Works:
- Acknowledges Their Fear:
It directly addresses the common concern—“What if I can’t find a new home I can afford?” - Provides a Solution:
Highlights the agent’s ability to find off-market properties, which reduces competition and stress. - Shows Social Proof:
Shares a real example of a client who purchased a home below market value through this approach, building credibility. - Reduces Pressure:
Reassures sellers that there won’t be bidding wars or high-pressure situations, easing their anxieties.
Simple Call to Action:Encourages sellers to text the agent, making it easy to start the conversation without any pressure.
The reason the "Deal of the Week" strategy is part of our weekly plan is because it’s incredibly effective at generating interest and driving activity around a featured property.
So, it’s time to double down on what’s working.
That’s why I created the "Deal of the Week" (DOTW) Farming Campaign.
The idea is simple: if you’re marketing a home as the "Deal of the Week," why wouldn’t you also reach out to the people most likely to be impacted by that sale? The neighbors.
By letting the surrounding homeowners know about the buzz and activity around a nearby property, we create a ripple effect of awareness and interest. This not only highlights the desirability of the neighborhood but also positions you as the go-to expert who understands how to leverage market activity to benefit homeowners.
This approach allows us to turn a single marketing campaign into multiple touchpoints, creating more opportunities to engage with potential sellers and build relationships within the community. It's about maximizing every effort to create the greatest impact and results.
We created this campaign for you because it's important to become an advocate for the consumer.
By providing advice through the lens of being a champion of the consumer, you can create build trust.
We'd recommend using this in your next mass-mailing camapaign to your farm.
My friend, Nik Shewmaker send out 80 letters and has already received 2 Come List Me calls. 80 letters. 2 come list me calls.
Do I need to say more?
Ok, I will :)
This is a campaign known as the ZMA letter. It’s a simple, but highly effective marketing campaign that helps you start a conversation with prospective sellers.
Now, the 10% doesn’t matter. It could be 2%, 7.5% or would you sell at this number?
It’s all designed to create a conversation with the seller.
If you ask any agent who’s been successful marketing to expired listings, they’ll tell you that it’s vital to stay consistent with your marketing – make the calls, send the emails and mail the letters.
The agent who stays persistent wins.
So I’ve created another letter you can use, in addition to our Expired Letter, to help you stand-out in a crowded market.
By contrasting the outdated, passive approach of "homes that sit" with the proactive, high-impact strategies of "homes that sell," we don't just highlight the services we offer—we show sellers that their home deserves the best. We validate their desire for a successful sale by providing proof that with the right approach, they can achieve a higher sale price, faster.
This messaging isn't just about listing features; it's about instilling confidence. It reassures sellers that by choosing your company, they are making a smart, informed decision that will lead to tangible benefits: more equity in their pockets and a smoother, faster sale process.
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.
Keri White is a rockstar agent out of LA who just signed a $1.295M listing leveraging the Zillow vs. Agent strategy we’ve developed.
This campaign works because it create a curiosity gap in the mind of the consumer that they have a desire to fill.
The key takeaway is you can do this for ANY listing in your market, doesn’t have to be just your sales. If you pair this with the ZVA call script, you’re going to get listings.
In the competitive world of real estate, establishing a strong local presence is crucial for success. One effective strategy to achieve this is by sending direct mail letters to nearby neighbors, informing them that you are in the area, assisting one of their neighbors in selling their home. This approach offers several benefits, from boosting your local presence to generating high-quality seller leads and effectively marketing your listings to attract more opportunities.
This letter generated a $2,100,000 listing that sold in 2 weeks.
While your competition is asleep at the wheel sending their generic, Just Listed and Just Sold postcard, there's an opportunity to stand out in the mailbox by providing useful information that's personalized to their market.
We sent this letter to 1,497 North Hills homeowners. Total cost, $1,047.
Here's why it worked:
1. The audience matches the message
2. The call-to-action answers the "Why now?" question
3. The social proof creates confidence
Don't believe the adage that it takes 12 months to generate an ROI from direct mail.
A well crafted message that has a clear call to action can drive immediate results.
Targeting Non-Owner Occupied Homeowners:
This letter is specifically crafted to appeal to non-owner occupied homeowners—those who own a second home or investment property but do not live in it. These homeowners are often more financially and emotionally detached from their second properties, making them more likely to consider selling when market conditions change.
Psychological Appeal:
This letter leverages several psychological principles to connect with homeowners considering selling their second homes:
- Social Proof: By stating that many homeowners are in the same situation, it reassures the reader that they are not alone. This social proof reduces the anxiety of making a big decision like selling a home.
- Authority: Citing reputable sources like Redfin and Yahoo Finance establishes credibility. It shows that the insights provided are backed by data, enhancing trust.
- Empathy: The letter acknowledges the reader's potential frustrations and challenges, creating an empathetic connection. Understanding the reader's pain points makes them feel heard and understood.
- Scarcity and Urgency: The mention of declining demand and rising costs implies that the optimal time to sell may be now. This sense of urgency can prompt quicker action from homeowners.
- Simplicity and Clarity: The letter breaks down complex market dynamics into easily digestible points. Clear, concise language ensures that the message is accessible to all readers.
Nicole Odom reached out to me to help her revamp her Neighbors Only Open House letter.
The formula we used is simple—
👉Direct and clear opening
👉Urgency
👉Encouraged her neighbors to bring a friend/family member
👉Added a subtext that “I’m good at my job”
Whenever you’re creating a marketing campaign, it’s vital that you understand the emotion you’re trying to elicit and the action you want to trigger.
You should 1000% use this for your next listing.

In 2023, the FSBO market share hit an all-time low of 7% (Source: Clever).
This is an incredibly compelling hook to use as a postcard, start conversations, and provide value.
This strategy includes a QR code, but we're going to do something a bit different…
When the consumer scans this QR code, it will automatically pull up a text message for them to send.
Here's how it works:
1. Use this website to create your QR code.
2. Select SMS.
2. Enter your number and add the message you want.
i.e. Hi [Agent Name],
I just got your postcard and I'm curious to find out why fewer people are selling their homes by themselves.
Thanks!
3. Add it to your postcard.
Here's a text that you can use as your reply:
Hi [First Name],
Thanks for reaching out.
Here are 3 of the top reasons why:
Commission Costs: FSBO sellers often pay a commission to the buyer's agent, which can deter them from selling independently. They're doing all the work and still paying fees.
Marketing Challenges: FSBO sellers typically face difficulties in effectively marketing their properties, resulting in lower visibility and fewer offers.
Lower Sales Prices: Homes sold through FSBO frequently fetch lower prices compared to those sold by realtors, leading sellers to accept less favorable offers.
If you have any more questions, let me know. 🙏

You might already be familiar with the Magic Buyer strategy—a direct mail strategy that engages potential sellers by outlining who your buyers are and what they're looking for.
This is the Charlie King version.
Within 1 week, Charlie King had 5 calls from this letter.
S/O to Jeremy Applebaum who sent out 83 Magic Buyer Letters and landed 3 appointments.
It's simple:
1. Write a letter to homeowners who live in the neighborhood where your buyer is looking to live.
2. Provide context on the situation and be specific in describing what your buyers bring to the table.
3. Include a direct response CTA if they're interested in selling.
By directly engaging homeowners with specific details about what the buyer is looking for—and showcasing the serious intent of your clients—you not only pique interest but also position yourself as a proactive, dedicated agent.
Below you'll find two examples of this letter—the first is Charlie King's original. The second is my version.
Let's get to work.
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. 👇

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. 🔥

Most sellers assume that making updates before listing is a must. But the truth? Some renovations add value—others just drain your wallet.
This direct mail sales letter challenges the idea that every home needs a facelift before hitting the market. Instead of pushing sellers toward costly upgrades, it positions you as a strategic advisor—someone who helps them make smart decisions based on real market data. The message is clear: before they waste time and money on unnecessary projects, they should talk to you first.
To make this even more compelling, the letter includes a visual graphic highlighting specific home improvements and their return on investment. This gives sellers a quick, digestible way to see which updates actually pay off.
Pro tip: Update the ROI data based on your local market insights. Customizing these numbers will make the letter even more relevant and persuasive for homeowners in your area.
This stat blew me away: Opendoor has purchased 30,000 homes over the last two years.
Now, why does this matter? As an agent who wants more listings, you need to identify underserved niches in the market and get the right message in front of them.
When I look at Reddit and other forums, sellers who choose Opendoor often mention convenience, certainty, and speed—but overwhelmingly, the biggest reason is avoiding repairs. They don’t want the hassle of fixing up their home before selling.
That’s a huge opportunity. Homeowners who have lived in their homes for 20+ years likely have repairs to make, and many believe their only option is selling to an iBuyer. This direct mail campaign speaks directly to them, showing a better alternative—you.
Use this letter to stop losing deals to companies like Opendoor and position yourself as the agent who knows how to get their home sold.
A Just Listed letter isn’t just about announcing a new listing—it’s about making homeowners pay attention to how it could impact their home’s value. Every sale in a neighborhood sets a new benchmark, influencing what buyers are willing to pay. This letter shifts the conversation from “Oh, another home for sale” to “Why should I care?”
It also serves another purpose: showcasing your marketing strategy without saying “Look how great I am.” By sharing real numbers—social media views, private showings, buyer interest—you’re proving that your approach gets results. And by offering to personally share the final sale details, you create an easy, value-driven way to stay in touch with potential future sellers.
Use this letter to position yourself as the agent who understands the market, drives demand, and keeps homeowners informed.

Targeting "Old Expireds" is a smart way to uncover hidden opportunities where no one else is looking.
This campaign works because it’s not generic—it’s laser-focused, empathetic, and backed by compelling data. By highlighting your research and showing genuine investment in their situation, you establish trust while opening the door for conversation.
The letter uses proven psychological techniques, like Chris Voss’s "no-oriented question," to lower resistance and make engagement feel safe.
Build your list, personalize your outreach, and position yourself as the expert they’ve been waiting for.
Inspired by my friend, Katie Lucie's campaign, we created a new sales letter you can send when you sell a home for above the Zestimate (or any online estimate).
Notably, we included two versions of this campaign.This version is a tighter, more direct version of this one.
It’s time to replace the boring “Just Sold” postcards with some ListingLeads.com magic. :)

Think about it this way....What are the reasons why someone would hesitate to reach out?
Address those concerns head on.
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’re working with qualified buyers but struggling to find the right homes, you’re not stuck—you’re set up for a Magic Buyer strategy.
This approach doesn’t just help your buyers; it sparks conversations, builds relationships, and uncovers off-market opportunities.
Tiffany Vasquez put this strategy into action, sending out 88 Magic Buyer Letters. Here’s what happened:
- 15 responses
- 10 interested parties
- 6 tours completed
- 5 potential listings
Her secret? Specificity and a personal touch. Sellers connect with real people, not just data points. Share meaningful details (without getting too personal)—your buyer’s budget, preferred location, or even a note about why they’re drawn to that specific neighborhood. These small touches make your message authentic and memorable.
As you adapt it to your audience, make sure to:
- Highlight who your buyer is and what they’re looking for.
- Specific information to build an emotional connection
- Include your personal cell number
- Use a direct response CTA in the P.S. to drive action.
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.
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.
