The best part?

It wasn't their listing.

But here's the thing...

This email is just the beginning.

Repurpose your Deal of the Week into an IG poll and an SOI text.

This is how you can take a winning marketing campaign and maximize the impact.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.
