Every season gives you a built-in excuse to reach out. The question is: are you using it?

Right now, as summer winds down, people are shifting gears. Vacations are ending. Kids are heading back to school. And the focus that drifted away in June and July is coming back to real estate in August. That’s your moment.

We’ve used this exact formula before; remember the Post-Election Text back in November? It sparked countless conversations and opportunities for ListingLeads members. Same structure, same psychology, just adapted for the season we’re in today.

The Deal of the Week strategy needs to be added to your weekly marketing SOPs. It's simple, repeatable, and highly effective.

We recently rolled out an all-new Deal of the Week tool to help you find which listings to feature.

It can now create the email for you. Try it out now.

Use the template we provided below to send out your Deal of the Week OR just use this tool.

Generic “market update” videos fall flat. What gets views - and leads - are hyper-specific comparisons that answer the exact questions buyers are already asking.

That’s why these neighborhood vs. neighborhood breakdowns perform so well. When Chris Colgan ran this style of video, it pulled in over 8,200 views, because it combined three things: a compelling hook, hyper-local data, and genuine educational value.

That’s what makes this format so powerful: it turns you into the local guide who helps buyers see past the price tag and into the real trade-offs that shape their lives.

This template gives you the structure. Plug in your local neighborhoods, your stats, and your perspective, and you’ll have a video that not only attracts views, but also positions you as the advisor buyers trust when it’s time to choose.

If it doesn’t already, the “Deal of the Week” should live in your weekly SOPs. Every week, find the hottest new listing in your market - whether it’s yours or someone else’s (always get the listing agent’s permission first) - and turn it into a reason for people to stop, share, and engage.

This week, we’re running a new hook: “share this with a friend.” It’s a simple line, but it’s the same psychology behind some of the most viral IG posts. Notice what’s missing too: we’re not dropping the price. Just beds, baths, and location with a clean grid of photos.

Then comes the closer: a poll. Two light, obvious choices that keep it playful while opening the door to DMs and follow-up conversations.

The formula is simple: Hook them with curiosity, multiply reach with the share trigger, and let the poll carry you straight into real conversations with buyers.

Not sure which listing to feature?

We built a tool that can do that for you: https://automate.listingleads.com/deal

Here's how it works:

1. Enter in a zip code or city (can do multiple)

2. Choose a price range

3. Select the property type.

We'll review the last 7 days of new listings on Zillow. We'll organize/sort them to find the homes that have the most views/saves and we'll showcase the one with the highest save rate.

‍That's your Deal Of The Week.

For Canadian Members

We'll be rolling out a CA version of this tool very soon. In the meantime, to find your Deal of the Week, start here:

• Filter for new listings (within the last 7 days)
• Focus on your target price point
• Stay in your ideal neighborhood or farm area

That should give you a pool of 50–70 listings.

From there, zero in on the one with the highest saves or views—that’s the listing with heat behind it.

We already know unsolicited CMAs work. But the agents who consistently generate seller leads don’t stop there—they turn their best CMAs into social content that drives action. That’s why this IG poll is one of our top-performing shareables at ListingLeads.

Here’s the play: run 5–10 CMAs a week, pick the one that grabs attention, and post it as a story. Lead with the gap—“their Zestimate was off by $39,000”—because that’s the hook that makes people lean in. Then close with the poll. Two easy, obvious options that get people to raise their hand without hesitation.

From there, the strategy is simple: DM everyone who engages and turn curiosity into listing conversations.

The Equity Email has generated ListingLeads.com members millions of dollars in listing opportunities.

You'll notice that it's not your typical "Find Out How Much Your Home Is Worth" email.

The first sentence immediately increases the perceived value of what you're offering: I don't send an email like this often.

Then we "show the sweat" - give the reader an idea of how much work you put into creating these reports.

Then close with an offer.

Send it today and let's get you a listing appointment. :)

Sometimes the best follow-up isn’t about market stats or drip campaigns.

It’s about being human.

This text gives you a simple, personal reason to reach out to past clients—without sounding like you’re “just checking in.”

Here’s the idea:

If a home hits the market that reminds you of someone you’ve worked with—same style, similar layout, same street or school zone, close to a neighborhood they mentioned loving—you send a quick note to let them know you thought of them.

It’s casual. It’s thoughtful. It’s genuine. And it opens the door to a real conversation.

Stop giving people everything up front. Curiosity is what drives conversations, and the agent who has the most conversations wins.

That’s why this week’s campaign leans into the power of the tease. Instead of dumping all the details, you’re anchoring attention with one bold statement: Feels like $X. Costs under $Y.

From there, you give them just enough: a few strong photos, the bed count, and the neighborhood.

Then you finish with a simple poll. The goal isn’t to sell the home in one story, it’s to spark interest and invite engagement.

Here’s the reality: only 6–8% of your database is actually thinking about moving right now. Which means dialing for dollars isn’t just exhausting, it’s inefficient.

There’s a smarter play: let your marketing tell you who’s raising their hand. That’s what this campaign is built to do.

We call it “qualify through copy.” Here’s how it works:

• The subject line “What do buyers really want right now?” works as a filter. The only people opening are the ones curious about buyer demand… and those are your potential sellers.
• Once the email goes out, track your opens. That’s your call list for the week.
• The content itself delivers value: a data-backed list of what buyers want today. This positions you as the expert and keeps homeowners engaged, even if they’re not ready yet.
• Finally, the P.S.—“before you go”—is a soft call-to-action inspired by Dean Linnell’s Friday Morning Coffee Newsletter.

So don’t think of this as “just another email.” It’s a system. A subject line that qualifies, content that builds authority, and a closing line that creates opportunities. All you have to do is send it, and then follow up with the right people.

Recent research by Zillow and The Harris Poll tells us that 65% of recent sellers completed at least two home improvement projects before listing.

This insight highlights why a video like Home Upgrades to Avoid is perfect for attracting bottom-of-funnel seller leads.

In fact, this video generated 10 times the views of her usual content by tackling this exact pain point, resonating deeply with sellers preparing to list.

Instagram Stories is where you capture leads. That’s why we lean so heavily on polls, they’re one of the fastest, easiest ways to spark real conversations in your DMs.

This one is what we call a situational poll. It’s simple, conversational, and it’s proven to work time and time again for our community. By asking people where they’re at - not moving until 2026, selling this year, or in their forever home - you instantly segment your audience without the heavy lift. And when someone taps, you’ve got the perfect opening to follow up and keep the conversation going.

Simple texts start powerful conversations. This one works because it isn’t pushy—it’s curious. When you ask a homeowner what the next owner would love, you shift their mindset from “this is my house” to “someone else living here.” 

That’s a subtle but important mental bridge toward selling. 

Plus, it feels personal and easy to answer, which means you’ll get more replies, and more insight into what matters to them.

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.

Sometimes the best way to stand out is to zig when everyone else zags.

That’s why this carousel leads with a proven hook - one that pulled 852K views for Megan Parker - and pairs it with a visual, lifestyle-first approach inspired by Lucky to Live Here’s neighborhood reel. The result? A scroll-stopper that makes people curious about places they didn’t even know they should be looking.

You’re showing them what it feels like to live there, through photos that capture the streets, scenery, and everyday life. It’s the perfect way to spark conversations with locals and relocation buyers alike.

Swap in your own neighborhoods, add your photos, and make it yours. And if you’ve got a relocation guide? Drop it in the caption or offer it as the CTA, this is exactly the moment to use it.

Just because it’s on the MLS doesn’t mean it’s being marketed.

That’s the gap most sellers don’t realize exists, and the one you need to own in your market. In a time when homes are rushed online with half-baked photos, no clear plan, and videos that never leave the listing page, your process should stand out like a spotlight.

This campaign was inspired by Shannon Gillette’s fantastic reel and built around a viral, share-worthy hook. It’s your chance to show your database exactly how you create demand, not just a listing, and to position yourself as the agent who brings a plan, not a hope.

Send it as-is, or add your own signature touches to show how you prepare and promote homes.

This script taps into a powerful behavioral science concept from Chase Hughes: the Identity Agreement. You’re not just offering data, you’re inviting someone to step into the role of “the informed one,” the person who knows what’s really happening in the market. And most people want to see themselves that way.

By leading with curiosity (“I figured you’d appreciate a different perspective”) and offering specific, local insights (“which price points are moving fastest”), you position yourself as the agent who brings clarity in a noisy market.

It’s short. It’s disarming. And it opens the door for a real conversation.

Copy it exactly, or swap out the offer to what makes the most sense for your market. Just keep the structure, because that’s what makes it work.

For the reel itself, keep it simple: overlay the text on b-roll footage - like in this example - whether that’s of you, a listing, neighborhood shots, or anything that fits your brand. Then copy and paste the caption provided below, or tweak it to make it your own.

‍

Want more homeowners to raise their hand? Don’t ask for too much too soon.

This Instagram Story is built around a simple truth: The first step is always the hardest step. So make the first step a small step.

It uses the viral “This is your sign…” format to lower the barrier and the poll finishes the job:
→ How do I do that?
→ I want an updated report

It’s casual, quick, and easy to post today.

Sometimes your best content ideas don’t come from other agents, they come from the creators outside our industry who are racking up millions of views.

That’s exactly where this Reel started. We found a viral post from @emilymacleodwellness that’s been viewed 3M times, and rebuilt the format for you.

Here’s why it works:

• “Innocent looking” hits harder than “common mistakes.”
• It speaks directly to homeowners, and taps into a shared fear: no one wants their home to feel cheap.
• It’s a clean listicle. Ten finishes. Scannable. Watchable. Easy to share.

The best part? You don’t have to film anything. We’ve designed this as a text-based Reel, all the content lives in the caption. Just post as-is, or swap in a background photo (or video) of yourself, a listing, or a local scene to make it feel more like you.

You had me at “exposed brick and green marble kitchen.”

That’s the line from one of Chesley McCarty’s recent Reels that went viral - and it’s the inspiration for this week’s Deal of the Week Instagram Story campaign.

Here’s how it works:

Start with one unique feature that sets the home apart. You can pull it right in the listing description - put it in quotes, and use it to complete the hook.

Then, share the photos to give people a quick visual hit of the home.

Keep the details light: only share the number of bedrooms and the neighborhood. 

Wrap it with a poll:
→ Yes please
→ Interested

Why this format works: It builds just enough curiosity to start a conversation—without overwhelming your audience or giving away the whole story.

Not sure which listing to feature?

Start here:

• Filter for new listings (within the last 7 days)
• Focus on your target price point
• Stay in your ideal neighborhood or farm area

That should give you a pool of 50–70 listings.

From there, zero in on the one with the highest saves or views—that’s the listing with heat behind it.

Use this format to test urgency, stay visible with buyers, and stay top of mind.

This text is short, personal and built to get referrals.

It’s rooted in research from behavioral expert Vanessa Van Edwards, who found that high-warmth cues - like compliments that feel earned - are one of the fastest ways to build trust and spark engagement.

That’s exactly what the opening line does: “You always seem to know someone who’s thinking about moving.”

It makes the person feel seen, connected, and credible.

From there, the message shifts into a  strategic ask where you highlight an opportunity: You’re taking on 1–2 more serious buyers (or whatever that number is for you) this month to help them find an off-market deal.

Use this when you want to re-engage your network without sounding transactional - and start more meaningful conversations that lead to real referrals.

If sourcing off-market homes isn’t something you offer, try this version instead.

The Deal of the Week strategy isn’t a nice‑to‑have, it’s a weekly marketing habit worth locking into your SOPs. Simple. Repeatable. Highly effective.

This style of email has helped generate thousands of conversations within our community. Why? Because it’s built to get a response. It sparks curiosity, creates urgency, and makes it easy for people to raise their hand.

But the real win? This email is just the starting point. Repurpose it into an Instagram poll. Turn it into a quick SOI text. Now you’re taking one proven campaign and multiplying its reach, its impressions, and its opportunities.

IIf you have access to off-market deals, consider sending this version instead.

You’re not just sending an email, you’re making an offer. That’s the power of this campaign.

It’s built to surface serious buyers, fast. The subject line alone immediately qualifies your audience. If they open, they’re raising their hand.

From there, the copy is clear and direct: “I’m going to make you an offer in this email.” That line disarms people. It tells them you’re not here to waste their time, and you’re not offering another seminar, calculator, or generic home search.

Instead, you’re offering what today’s buyers actually want: A great deal.

It ends with a clear CTA: Reply “I’m Ready.”

And the P.S. adds just enough scarcity: you can only take on a few clients per month. That gives serious buyers a reason to act now.

In a shifting market, fear is cheap (and everywhere).

You can’t scroll YouTube without someone predicting the “big crash” or shouting “sell now before it’s too late.”

But here’s the thing: the data says otherwise. Decades of housing history show that every downturn recovers.

Which means panic‑selling is the fastest way to turn a temporary dip into a permanent loss.

That’s why this letter takes the opposite approach. Instead of peddling fear, it positions you as the steady, long‑view professional who helps people sell for the right reasons: fit, timing, lifestyle.

It’s the kind of message that builds trust when others are burning it.Send it monthly to your farm and watch your share of the market grow when confidence is in short supply.

Fourteen percent of all home sales this year came from one group: owners who don’t live in the property they’re selling. (Source: NAR)

Second homes. Absentee owners. Landlords dealing with repairs, vacancies, and shifting returns.

They may not be raising their hands, but many are re‑evaluating what they own and why.

This campaign is built to reach them where they are, before they make their next move.Your job? Put it in play and start turning this segment into your next source of listings.

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.

You already know the power of Deal of the Week. This version is built for Stories.

We start with the hook, then layer in the details, then highlight the features that make this one stand out. Only after the curiosity builds do you invite them to raise their hand. In recent tests, that structure alone delivered 6x more engagement.

The hook itself? We pulled it from one of the 1,200 top‑performing Instagram posts we track at Listing Leads, and built the rest so you can execute fast.

Not sure which listing to feature?

Start here:

• Filter for new listings (within the last 7 days)
• Focus on your target price point
• Stay in your ideal neighborhood or farm area

That should give you a pool of 50–70 listings.

From there, zero in on the one with the highest saves or views—that’s the listing with heat behind it.

Use this format to test urgency, stay visible with buyers, and stay top of mind.

The data says it all: many buyers aren’t stuck because they’ve lost interest—they’re stuck because they’re not sure what to do next.

Cotality’s latest research found that only 7% described the buying process as straightforward. The rest hit moments of doubt, kept questions to themselves, and moved forward without full clarity. Sometimes they didn’t know who to ask. Sometimes they felt they should already know.

That’s why this poll works. It gives buyers a low‑pressure way to say, “Yep, I’m unsure.” And once they do, you have an open door to guide them—turning uncertainty into momentum, and curiosity into conversations.

The housing market runs on speed. But buyers? They run on timing.

That’s the gap we uncovered digging into Cotality’s latest research on “Who (really) owns the homebuyer?” The process is faster than ever: instant alerts, same‑day offers, mounting competition, but most buyers say they still feel overwhelmed. Readiness hasn’t caught up with market velocity.

And here’s the problem: most agents respond by pushing harder. More urgency. More “act now.” That may get an offer written, but it doesn’t build trust.

This campaign flips that script. It positions you as the agent who slows the process down just enough for buyers to feel informed, prepared, and confident. That’s how you stand apart—and how you turn first‑time conversations into long‑term clients.

“This and…” works because it pulls people straight into a dreamstate. Two words are all it takes for them to picture a life they want: morning coffee in the sunroom, golden‑hour dinners on the deck, a run through the park. It’s not about selling a feature; it’s about letting them feel it.

That’s why this viral hook stops the scroll. It’s simple, fast, and ridiculously flexible, perfect for highlighting a listing, showcasing a neighborhood, or sharing a lifestyle moment. Below, you’ll find a list of ready‑made hooks to spark ideas, or use them as inspiration to create your own. Pair one with a short clip or photo, and you’re inviting people into a feeling they’ll want to step into.

Every season gives you a reason to reach out to your clients. The shift into fall is one of the easiest—and most natural—times to do it.

This isn’t about pushing a listing or forcing a market update. It’s about opening a conversation. A quick, personal check‑in that reminds people you’re there, you’re paying attention, and you’re ready to help if real estate is on their mind.

This simple text does exactly that. It’s short, casual, and easy for anyone to respond to. Send it now, and you’ll spark conversations that you might not have otherwise.

‍

Telling someone they can’t have something? Still one of the fastest ways to make them want it.That’s the psychology behind this coming soon email, and why it starts with a line most agents would never dare send:“I really shouldn’t share this listing with you…”No price. No exact location. Just a few vivid details, a sense of exclusivity, and a clear call-to-action:Text “VIP” to your number for more info.It’s short. It’s unexpected. And it works, because instead of broadcasting a new listing, you’re creating  demand before it hits the market.

You don’t need to shout to stand out. You need to say the thing buyers are already wondering, and answer it better than anyone else.

This campaign does exactly that.

“Can I make a low offer?”

It’s a question your audience might be asking. Now you get to be the one who answers with clarity, strategy, and calm authority.

It’s timely, relevant, and built to meet the market where it is—while positioning you as the professional who knows how to work it.

According to ATTOM’s latest U.S. Home Sales Report, the average homeowner who sold last quarter walked away with a 50% profit.

While it’s true that margins are down from their peak and some markets are cooling, it’s also true that many sellers, especially those who’ve owned for 8+ years, are still walking away with sizable equity gains.

This campaign helps you bring that nuance to the surface. It gives you a reason to educate, recalibrate, and start meaningful conversations with the people in your database who may be unsure what today’s market means for them.

This is your plug-and-play July market update. Short. Visual. Crazy effective.

We’ve seen this exact format rack up thousands of views across top-performing creators, and for good reason. It’s fast to build, easy to watch, and delivers exactly what buyers and sellers want: real numbers, real sales, and real context about what homes are actually going for.

This reel template is fully customizable. Drop in your local sold data, adjust the price ceiling, and update the neighborhoods. In under 10 minutes, you’ve got a scroll-stopping post that builds authority without having to say a word.

A lot of sellers assume they need to renovate before they list. It feels like the “smart” thing to do. The responsible thing.

But in today’s market? That instinct doesn’t always pay off.

This Instagram carousel gives you a sharp, scroll-stopping way to challenge the assumption. You’re not saying don’t renovate. You’re showing them that not every project delivers a return, and some can even turn buyers off completely.
‍
Because when you help them avoid expensive mistakes, you earn the right to guide their next move.

There’s one phrase that reopens doors faster than just about anything else: “The last time we talked…”

It’s disarming. It’s personal. And according to behavioral researcher Vanessa Van Edwards, it taps directly into one of the most powerful social triggers we have: being remembered.

When someone recalls a detail you shared months (or even years) ago, it hits differently. It signals care, credibility, and emotional intelligence, without needing to sell a thing. And for leads who’ve gone quiet, it gives them the perfect on-ramp back into the conversation.

This text campaign puts that principle into action. We’ve provided 10 conversation starters - each one built to spark a reply based on something they once shared with you. You only need one. But you do need to personalize it.

Pro tip: Go back through your email threads, DMs, and CRM notes. Look for that small detail, what they said about rates, renovations, location, timing. That’s your opening.

‍

When sellers price for the market they remember - not the one they’re in - homes sit, prices drop, or listings disappear.

This email helps you name that disconnect and start the kind of conversation that leads to smarter pricing, stronger positioning, and fewer surprises. We also added a soft P.S. for buyers—because in this market, some well-priced homes are absolute steals.

This IG reel is fast, visual, and ridiculously easy to execute, but it’s also backed by real data from Zillow, NAHB, and HomeLight on what today’s buyers are actually looking for.

Post as-is or update any of the ten points to reflect what you’re seeing in your market.

Inspired by a killer reel from Rick J Lee, and built around the same psychology behind our “What’s the chance?” text, we’re lowering the bar and opening the loop.

“Getting back in the market” feels casual. The options feel safe. But the insight you get? Game-changing.

This one’s short, strategic, and built for engagement.

‍

Most scripts put people on defense. This one opens the door.

In a market full of hesitation, your message has to do more than inform - it has to disarm.

That’s why we built this text around three words I picked up from a Lewis Howes video: What’s the chance? It’s playful, non-threatening, and it bypasses the part of the brain wired to shut down salesy conversations.

Instead of pressure, it invites possibility. And for buyers who’ve felt sidelined the last two years, that’s exactly the kind of nudge that gets them to re-engage.

When sellers price for the market they remember - not the one they’re in - homes sit, prices drop, or listings disappear.

That’s the story behind two new reports from Realtor.com and Clever, and the reason we built this campaign.

The data is clear: 72% of future sellers think they’ll get over asking. Only 42% of recent sellers actually did. Nearly half had to cut their price. And delistings? Up 47% year-over-year.

This email helps you name that disconnect and start the kind of conversation that leads to smarter pricing, stronger positioning, and fewer surprises. We also added a soft P.S. for buyers because in this market, some well-priced homes are absolute steals.

• Focus on your target price point
  
• Stay in your ideal neighborhood or farm area
  

That should give you a pool of 50–70 listings.

From there, zero in on the one with the highest saves or views—that’s the listing with heat behind it.

If your Story views are strong but engagement is flat—this is the format to fix it.

We’ve been testing all kinds of ways to bring the “Deal of the Week” to Stories—and this one's a keeper.

It’s visual. It’s clever. And it mimics a play we’re seeing everywhere from top influencers: tease the value, show a receipt (like listing views), then drop the link behind an emoji.

Why does it work? Because it builds curiosity before it asks for action.

You’re not shouting “BUY!”—you’re drawing attention to demand. That alone makes this feel less like an ad, more like a can’t-miss opportunity.

The best part? You only need one slide. A Zillow screenshot. A few strategic details. A clear price anchor. 

And everyone who clicks? That’s your follow-up list.

With new listings surging across Canada—an 11% jump in January alone, the biggest supply increase since the 1980s—buyers have more options than they’ve seen in years (Financial Post). But more inventory doesn’t mean an easier search. It means competition, faster-moving deals, and the need to act decisively when the right home appears.

‍

This campaign gives you a simple, strategic way to guide buyers through the three key steps that separate those who hesitate from those who close. Use it to position yourself as the expert who helps buyers move with confidence.

‍

With more inventory sitting on the market, a lot of buyers are circling. This campaign is intended to help you start conversations with those buyers, and also engage serious buyers with a direct response P.S.

‍

The #1 reason why your clients won't sell their current home might be because they have a great interest rate. But as rates drop, they might be more open to the idea of making a move.

‍

Let's take the opportunity of rates dropping below 7% to engage our SOI and find our next listing.

This text is your foot back in the door with leads who’ve been on the fence about buying—a low-pressure way to reopen the conversation and see where they stand. 

A simple check-in can be the nudge they need. 

Use any of the statements provided—or create your own.

Your clients want to time the market. The perfect moment to sell. The lowest rate to buy. It feels like the smart move—like they’re outmaneuvering everyone else. 

But here’s the uncomfortable truth you need to help them see: trying to time the market often costs more than it saves. 

The pros—like you—know the market isn’t something to predict; it’s something to work with. 

Your job is to shift their focus: does making a move this year align with their life and goals? This email will help you start that conversation.

Most sellers think putting their home on Zillow is enough. It’s not. Exposure is what drives demand, and demand is what creates the result your clients want. A listing buried among thousands won’t cut it.

The difference? A marketing strategy that works harder. Not just a sign in the yard or a post on Zillow—but a relentless, multi-channel approach that puts your home in front of serious buyers. A marketing strategy like yours.

Use this postcard template as an alternative to the traditional Just Sold postcard and highlight the specifics of how your marketing drives real results for your clients.

If you have an off-market opportunity, this is the perfect email to send to your list of buyers.

Scarcity creates demand. The moment something feels exclusive—something others can’t have—it becomes even more desirable. Off-market properties tap into this psychology, but only if you position them the right way. The mistake most agents make? They focus only on the property itself. But buyers don’t just want a home—they want an edge, too.

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.

Most agents play the long game with home value leads, waiting months—sometimes years—for them to convert. But if you want to fill your listing pipeline now, you need to focus on a different group: homeowners requesting CMAs.

Why? Because 18% of homeowners who request a CMA list their home within 12 months. (Source: Fello) That’s nearly 1 in 5. And while most agents chase colder leads, this strategy puts you in front of sellers who are already thinking about making a move.

This text is so effective because it challenges assumptions. Homeowners trust online estimates, but when they see how far off they can be, it sparks curiosity—and that curiosity turns into conversation.

Send this text to 25 people in your SOI today. The opportunities are out there. You just have to start the right conversation.

Most agents wait for homeowners to ask about their home’s value. But the best agents don’t wait for permission to be helpful. They anticipate the need and show up with value—before the homeowner even thinks to ask.

That’s what makes this text so effective. Instead of offering a generic CMA, you’re telling them you’re already working on it. It’s proactive, it’s personal, and it naturally sparks a conversation.

This text campaign is simple but powerful. Instead of just handing over a home value report, it starts a conversation. By asking about recent or planned updates, you engage the homeowner, make them think differently about their investment, and position yourself as the expert who helps them maximize it.

Most sellers assume they need to spend thousands fixing up their home before they can sell. But here’s the truth: They might not need to.

This email is so effective because it challenges that assumption with real results. If you recently worked with a client who had an outdated home, needed big-ticket repairs, and believed a traditional sale wasn’t worth the hassle, this is your chance to shift their perspective. Instead of pouring money into renovations or taking a lowball offer from an iBuyer, they leaned on your network of buyers. The result? A sale that netted them significantly more than an instant offer.

The key takeaway: Selling as-is isn’t a last resort—it’s a strategy. And when sellers have the right expert in their corner, they don’t have to choose between convenience and maximizing their profit.

One of the biggest misconceptions sellers have? That listing with an agent means weeks of expensive repairs, dealing with contractors, and endless headaches. Companies like Opendoor have capitalized on that fear, selling the promise of certainty, convenience, and speed. And guess what? It’s worked—over 30,000 homes bought in just two years.

But here’s the truth: Many of these sellers are leaving real money on the table. They might not need to renovate to sell. They might just need access to the right buyer.

This email is so effective because it challenges the seller’s assumptions. Most believe they have to fix up their home to attract buyers, but is there a different story? Not every buyer is looking for perfect—many prioritize location, potential, and value. And with your extensive network of buyers, you can connect sellers with the right match, without forcing them into costly renovations.

Pro tip: Strengthen this email by adding a local stat on buyer demand. Show sellers that homes—even ones that need work—are still moving fast in your market. The more relevant the data, the more powerful your message.

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.

Whenever you have a marketable moment—like a client receiving multiple offers, selling above their online estimate, or going under contract quickly—it’s the perfect time to send a 1-to-1 text like this. 

The power of this message comes from herd mentality—when people see others having success in the market, they naturally start wondering if they should make a move too. 

The phrase “Have you noticed what’s been going on in our market?” is a soft, easy-to-answer question that invites conversation without pressure. 

Customize the first line of this text based on what you’ve helped your clients accomplish recently. Here are a few ideas:

Your clients look to you for real market insights—not headlines, not hearsay. Whenever you have a marketable moment—a real success story like a client selling above their online estimate or above ask—it’s a prime opportunity to send an email like this. 

When homeowners see others achieving impressive results, they naturally start wondering, “Could that be me?” That’s herd mentality in action—people are influenced by what others around them are doing, especially in uncertain times. 

This email taps into that psychology, using a compelling example to shift homeowners from curiosity to action. 

Customize the opening sentence with any stat from your client’s experience that demonstrates strong demand in your market.

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.

Way too many agents are waiting for people to raise their hand to say they want to sell.

‍

As a result, they're not getting the opportunities they're looking for and they're not hitting the goals they want to hit.

‍

The ZMA strategy is so incredibly simple.

‍

Here's how it works:

‍

1. Every day, 2-3 times a day, choose someone from your database or someone in your SOI

2. Look up their home on Zillow

3. Click "Zestimate history & details"

4. Take a screenshot of their home value history

5. Send the following text message

‍

That's it.‍

‍

If you do 2-3 of these every day, that will turn into 2-3 conversations per day, which will likely lead to 1-2 listing appointments a week, which will likely lead to 2-3 listings a month.

‍

That math just works.

‍

This has got to be in your daily SOP.

Most agents ignore tax season. Smart ones use it to spark conversation.

When those new assessment letters hit mailboxes, homeowners do one of two things: shrug it off—or wonder if they’re getting overcharged. This campaign is built for the second group.

It positions you as the local expert who can translate inflated tax values into real-world numbers—and potentially real savings.

Use it to:

• Start value-based conversations without pushing a sale.
• Offer a helpful, relevant service that builds trust fast.
• Reconnect with past clients and neighbors in a way that feels timely and valuable.

Most agents wait for sellers to raise their hand. Top agents create the moment.

Right now, one of the most overlooked seller opportunities is hiding in plain sight: mortgage renewals. Thousands of homeowners are approaching renewal dates—and they’re quietly questioning whether staying put still makes financial sense.

This campaign meets them right there, in that moment of uncertainty.

Here’s how to use it to spark listing conversations:

• Lead with service—offer personalized insight, not a generic sales pitch.
• Frame the home equity report as a decision-making tool, not a valuation.
• Open the door to bigger conversations about upgrading, downsizing, or refinancing.

Most agents default to “now is a great time to buy”—but savvy buyers aren’t buying it.

They’ve seen the headlines. They know affordability is out of whack. What they don’t know is how to make sense of it all—or how to apply it to their own timeline. That’s the gap this campaign is built to fill.

This isn’t about hype. It’s about helping your clients zoom out, think long-term, and make a smart move based on their goals—not market noise.

Use this message to reset the conversation:

• Shift the narrative from timing to timeline.
  
  
• Show them how national data actually supports their local decision.
  
  
• Position yourself as the clear-thinking, truth-telling guide they’ve been looking for.

This postcard is designed to hit at just the right time—when competition is fierce and sellers are starting to pay closer attention.

In many markets right now, demand is surging. Homes are selling over asking, often with multiple backup offers and no contingencies. But most homeowners don’t fully realize just how competitive things have gotten in their neighborhood.

That’s the power of this piece—it delivers hyper-local proof that now might be their moment.

Customize it with your latest market data. Plug in a recent win and testimonial. And make sure your call-to-action is easy to act on—because when sellers see what’s happening nearby, they’re more likely to raise their hand.

‍

Direct questions make people hesitate. Strategic statements make them lean in.

‍This campaign is built around the Elicitation Tactic—a psychology-backed approach where, instead of asking, you suggest. It’s subtle, but powerful. Because when people aren’t being pushed, they’re more likely to engage.

You’re not asking, “Would you sell?” You’re planting a thought:

“Wondering if there’s a number that would make the conversation worth having—even if selling wasn’t your plan for this year.”

It’s non-threatening. Emotionally intelligent. And perfect for sellers who aren’t raising their hand—but might be open, given the right offer.

This week’s email is grounded in insights from RBC’s latest housing report and recent coverage from The Globe and Mail. Together, they capture a clear mood in the market: caution.

National resales fell nearly 10% in February—the sharpest monthly drop in years. But that stat alone doesn’t tell the whole story.

Because in a cautious market, people don’t stop moving. They just move differently.

This email helps you communicate that nuance—to show up as a calm, informed resource in a time when many are feeling uncertain.

This week’s email pulls from two of the most respected sources in housing data—Altos Research and ATTOM. Together, they paint a picture that’s more complex than the headlines suggest.

It’s a national view—but one that helps you frame local conversations with more clarity and confidence.

Because even when your market behaves differently, buyers and sellers are still hearing national narratives. Your job is to bring perspective.

Here’s what the latest numbers show—and how to use them to educate, inform, and stay relevant.

This template also includes a direct-response P.S. designed to surface potential sellers—so you can spark the right conversations at the right time.

Smart agents know that one Open House can lead to the next. Every buyer who walks through the door—whether they loved that home or not—is a lead who’s actively searching. So why not use that connection to keep them engaged?

This email works because it feels personal. It’s not a generic “Come to my Open House” blast—it’s an intentional, direct invitation. And by using the Deal of the Week strategy, you create curiosity without giving everything away. No full address. No full listing. Just enough intrigue to make them reply.

Use this as a simple but effective way to turn past Open House visitors into future clients. If they’re serious about buying, they’ll want the details.

Most follow-up texts fail because they feel like a sales pitch. This one works because it does the opposite—it gives the lead control.

“Should I contact you if…” is a powerful phrase. It shifts the conversation from pushing a sale to seeking permission. And that matters because people are more likely to engage when they feel like they’re choosing to.

But here’s the key: make it feel local. If they toured a home in [Neighborhood], reference it. If there are similar listings coming soon, hint at them. The goal isn’t just to follow up—it’s to keep the conversation open and position yourself as the agent they want to hear from.

Use this text to re-engage buyers without sounding pushy.

A new report just dropped, and it’s the perfect opportunity to reach out to your database with valuable, timely information.

BNN Bloomberg just covered National Bank’s latest Housing Affordability Monitor, which shows that affordability in Canada improved for the fourth consecutive quarter. Rising incomes and lower mortgage rates are helping offset higher home prices, bringing mortgage payments to their lowest level as a percentage of income in nearly three years.

That’s a shift your audience needs to know about.

This email gives buyers a reason to re-evaluate their options and helps sellers understand what this means for demand. It positions you as the go-to resource for market insights while staying relevant and data-driven.

‍

Most agents only reach out when someone raises their hand to buy or sell. That’s a mistake. The key to long-term business? Staying relevant before they need you. Homeowners are naturally curious about the market—especially their home’s value—but they rarely take the initiative to ask. This script taps into that curiosity using a simple yet effective double-text technique—one message to spark interest, followed by a quick follow-up to prompt action. It’s an easy way to stay in front of your sphere without feeling pushy.

The latest research from Mike Simonsen, founder of Altos Research, reveals a major shift: new listings are up 14% year over year, the highest mid-March inventory levels since 2020. That’s data your database needs to hear.

When you consistently share market insights, you position yourself as the go-to expert—someone clients trust long before they’re ready to buy or sell. That’s why we’ve crafted this value-first email for you. It delivers key market trends in a way that’s easy to digest and keeps you top-of-mind.

Most agents think trust is built in big moments—an incredible listing presentation, a perfectly staged home, a well-executed negotiation. But trust isn’t a switch you flip. It’s a slow burn. It’s built in the moments when you’re not selling, just showing up with value.

That’s what this email does. No push. No pressure. Just sharp market insights your clients will appreciate. Over time, these touchpoints add up. They create familiarity, confidence, and—when the time is right—a listing opportunity.

ListingLeads member Anthony Malafronte saw it firsthand:

"Three new listings are coming on in the next couple of weeks! All using these tools and tactics. One we cultivated through email only, the owner is hearing impaired (the best listing appointment I have ever been on), I'm not sure we'd have made it happen without this group. When we met, the owner felt comfortable with our commitment to the business, our knowledge of the market, and our ability to market his home. The consistency with which we shared info, and weren't annoying but smart and helpful. Was what he shared with us."

This email was inspired by a recent Redfin article highlighting a surge in homebuyer interest. Market activity is shifting, and staying in front of your clients with timely, relevant insights is how you build trust—long before they’re ready to make a move

This email was crafted by pulling insights from recent articles in The Financial Post, The Globe & Mail, and BNN Bloomberg. The Bank of Canada has cut rates seven times, yet demand hasn’t surged to match. Buyers are cautious, and the market is shifting in ways that create new opportunities.

Staying in front of your clients with timely, relevant insights is how you build trust—long before they’re ready to make a move.

Let’s get into it.

Here’s something most agents miss: The best time to market isn’t after the sale—it’s while the momentum is still building.

Recently, my buddy Tre sent me a DM that proves it. He wrote a simple letter for his agent to send out after an Open House. The result? 50 letters. 2 listings.

This approach blends two of the strongest strategies we use at ListingLeads.com—the Magic Buyer Letter and Storytelling Just Sold. When you combine urgency with a compelling story, people pay attention.

Here’s the letter. Use it. And more importantly—start treating every listing like a launching pad for the next one.

In times of uncertainty, your past clients aren’t just looking for market updates—they’re looking for reassurance. The recent news around U.S./Canada tariffs and economic shifts has left many wondering what it all means for them.

This is a great moment to check in, not to sell, but to show you’re there as a trusted resource. A simple, open-ended question like “How are you feeling about the market right now?” invites conversation and reminds them you’re paying attention—so they don’t have to navigate it alone.

Here’s how to reach out in a way that feels natural and valuable.

Mortgage demand just jumped 20% in a single week. That’s not just a number—it’s a reason to reach out.

Buyers are watching rates closely, and with more of them jumping back into the market, competition is heating up. This shift could mean stronger offers and better opportunities for sellers—but only for those who are paying attention.

Now is the perfect time to check in with prospects and spark a conversation. A simple, easy-to-answer question like “Have you been keeping an eye on the market?” can open the door to a meaningful discussion.

Send this text to 25-50 prospects.

‍

It’s okay to feel uncertain right now. Your clients are feeling it, and if you’re being honest, you probably are too. The constant headlines—trade tensions, tariffs, economic shifts—make it hard to know what’s next. And when things feel unpredictable, it’s natural to hesitate.

But uncertainty doesn’t mean pressing pause. It means leaning into what doesn’t change—your expertise, your ability to guide, and the trust you’ve built with your clients. They don’t need all the answers right now. They just need someone who can help them understand their options and make decisions with confidence.

Mortgage demand just jumped 20% in a single week. That’s not just a number—it’s a signal.

Buyers are paying attention. A dip in rates has pulled more of them back into the market, and that momentum could mean more competition, stronger offers, and better opportunities for sellers.

Real estate moves in cycles, and smart buyers and sellers move with it. The key is knowing when to act.

Here’s what this shift means for your clients—and how you can help them stay ahead.

At this point, the FSBO seller has likely had some level of interest—but interest doesn’t equal a sale.

Letter #3 is where you introduce a no-risk solution: a 30-day listing agreement designed to get them across the finish line. No long-term contracts, no pressure—just a smart, performance-based approach that removes the biggest barrier FSBO sellers have about working with an agent.

By now, they know you’re not just another agent trying to “win the listing.” You’ve provided value, built trust, and positioned yourself as a problem solver.

By now, the FSBO seller has likely dealt with lowball offers, pushy agents, or worse—radio silence. And if their home isn’t moving, they’re starting to wonder why.

That’s where this letter comes in. Letter #2 in the sequence shifts the conversation to pricing—one of the biggest pain points for FSBO sellers. Instead of telling them they’ve priced it wrong, this letter leads with empathy, highlights the risk of guessing, and offers a free CMA as a straightforward, no-pressure solution.

The goal? To make it easy for them to say yes. No obligation, no catch—just valuable data that helps them make smarter decisions. And when they realize they need more than just numbers? You’re already the agent they trust.

Most FSBO sellers expect agents to pressure them into listing. That’s why most direct mail from agents goes straight into the trash.

If you want to stand out, you have to do something different. Instead of pushing for a listing, this letter builds trust by meeting sellers where they are—acknowledging their frustrations, offering value, and positioning you as a helpful resource, not just another agent looking for a deal.

This is letter #1 in a three-part sequence. The goal? To shift their perception of you from “just another agent” to someone they can actually trust. No sales pitch, no scare tactics—just practical advice that makes them feel more confident in their sale.

Most FSBO sellers think the hardest part is getting an offer. But in reality? The toughest part is knowing what to do next.

Many sellers assume price is all that matters. But once the offers start rolling in, they realize there’s a lot more at stake—hidden costs, contingencies, and tricky negotiations that can cost them thousands. The problem? FSBO sellers don’t always see these pitfalls coming until it’s too late.

This email positions you as the guide they didn’t know they needed. By educating them upfront and offering a free CMA, you’re not just providing value—you’re giving them the clarity and confidence they won’t get from an online estimate. No sales pitch, just real help. And when they hit a roadblock? You might be the first person they think to call.

Most FSBO sellers screen calls from unknown numbers—especially from agents. If they didn’t pick up, it’s not necessarily a “no.” It just means they don’t know why they should talk to you yet.

This text is short, direct, and creates curiosity. Instead of sounding like another agent trying to “win the listing,” you’re positioning yourself as someone with genuine interest in their home. No sales pitch, just a reason for them to call you back.

The goal? Get them to engage. Once they respond, you can shift the conversation toward value—helping them, not selling them.

Once you get them on the phone, use 1 of these 3 call scripts:
- FSBO Pricing Call Script
- FSBO Photos Call Script
- FSBO Listing Description Call Script

Every season gives you a built-in excuse to reach out. The question is: are you using it?

Right now, as summer winds down, people are shifting gears. Vacations are ending. Kids are heading back to school. And the focus that drifted away in June and July is coming back to real estate in August. That’s your moment.

We’ve used this exact formula before; remember the Post-Election Text back in November? It sparked countless conversations and opportunities for ListingLeads members. Same structure, same psychology, just adapted for the season we’re in today.

The Deal of the Week strategy needs to be added to your weekly marketing SOPs. It's simple, repeatable, and highly effective.

We recently rolled out an all-new Deal of the Week tool to help you find which listings to feature.

It can now create the email for you. Try it out now.

Use the template we provided below to send out your Deal of the Week OR just use this tool.

Generic “market update” videos fall flat. What gets views - and leads - are hyper-specific comparisons that answer the exact questions buyers are already asking.

That’s why these neighborhood vs. neighborhood breakdowns perform so well. When Chris Colgan ran this style of video, it pulled in over 8,200 views, because it combined three things: a compelling hook, hyper-local data, and genuine educational value.

That’s what makes this format so powerful: it turns you into the local guide who helps buyers see past the price tag and into the real trade-offs that shape their lives.

This template gives you the structure. Plug in your local neighborhoods, your stats, and your perspective, and you’ll have a video that not only attracts views, but also positions you as the advisor buyers trust when it’s time to choose.

If it doesn’t already, the “Deal of the Week” should live in your weekly SOPs. Every week, find the hottest new listing in your market - whether it’s yours or someone else’s (always get the listing agent’s permission first) - and turn it into a reason for people to stop, share, and engage.

This week, we’re running a new hook: “share this with a friend.” It’s a simple line, but it’s the same psychology behind some of the most viral IG posts. Notice what’s missing too: we’re not dropping the price. Just beds, baths, and location with a clean grid of photos.

Then comes the closer: a poll. Two light, obvious choices that keep it playful while opening the door to DMs and follow-up conversations.

The formula is simple: Hook them with curiosity, multiply reach with the share trigger, and let the poll carry you straight into real conversations with buyers.

Not sure which listing to feature?

We built a tool that can do that for you: https://automate.listingleads.com/deal

Here's how it works:

1. Enter in a zip code or city (can do multiple)

2. Choose a price range

3. Select the property type.

We'll review the last 7 days of new listings on Zillow. We'll organize/sort them to find the homes that have the most views/saves and we'll showcase the one with the highest save rate.

‍That's your Deal Of The Week.

For Canadian Members

We'll be rolling out a CA version of this tool very soon. In the meantime, to find your Deal of the Week, start here:

• Filter for new listings (within the last 7 days)
• Focus on your target price point
• Stay in your ideal neighborhood or farm area

That should give you a pool of 50–70 listings.

From there, zero in on the one with the highest saves or views—that’s the listing with heat behind it.

We already know unsolicited CMAs work. But the agents who consistently generate seller leads don’t stop there—they turn their best CMAs into social content that drives action. That’s why this IG poll is one of our top-performing shareables at ListingLeads.

Here’s the play: run 5–10 CMAs a week, pick the one that grabs attention, and post it as a story. Lead with the gap—“their Zestimate was off by $39,000”—because that’s the hook that makes people lean in. Then close with the poll. Two easy, obvious options that get people to raise their hand without hesitation.

From there, the strategy is simple: DM everyone who engages and turn curiosity into listing conversations.
