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.

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.

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.
