As you know, we’re always testing. One of the big zen learnings we’ve had recently was using multiple stories to drive up conversion. In fact a recent story I posted got 6x more engagement when I used the poll at the END, not the beginning of the story.

Inspired by top-producing agent Lourdes Maestres, this direct mail letter pairs a bold, singular claim with real-world proof. It showcases sold properties where every buyer was found online—through targeted digital campaigns, not open houses or yard signs.

Why it works:

• The message is focused and fresh.
• The proof is tangible—real homes, real numbers.
• And the QR codes flip passive interest into active clicks, driving traffic to your marketing process in action.

Use this to position yourself as the agent who markets like it’s 2025—not 2005. Flip the letter, scan the code, and show them exactly how you do it.

Pro-Tip: Film a video where you clearly describe the marketing you do for properties and drive the QR code to your YouTube channel. See Lourdes' example here.

This text is for the leads who’ve been sitting on the sidelines—watching, waiting, and weighing their options.

It was sparked by a Redfin article noting a clear trend: buyers today aren’t settling. They’re skipping over homes that don’t check the right boxes—and holding out for the ones that do.

That’s exactly what this message leans into.

It’s a straightforward, no-pressure way to surface interest from people who might be ready to move—if the right home shows up. Use it to start the kind of conversation that leads somewhere.

This campaign was inspired by a recent Financial Post interview with veteran mortgage broker Ron Butler, who called this “maybe the softest spring market in decades.” Then he said something most people wouldn’t expect: “And that might actually be a good thing.”

That’s the opening we ran with.

Because slower doesn’t mean stalled—and soft doesn’t mean broken. This email gives your audience a clearer lens: one that helps them see today’s market as something to better understand.

Use it to reframe the conversation, bring steady perspective, and remind your database that strategy still wins—especially in markets like this.

This campaign was inspired by a new report from ATTOM analyzing 47 million home sales over the past decade. The data points to one clear trend: homes that close in May sell for the highest premium—on average, 9.5% above market value.

That kind of insight doesn’t push someone to list tomorrow—but it does plant a seed.

Most sellers take weeks, even months, to make a move. Which means timely, relevant data like this helps you show up early—before they’re even raising their hand.

Use it to educate, build trust, and stay in their corner until the timing feels right.
