Downsizing Letter

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.

2025 Magic Buyer Letter

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.

Just Sold 2025

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.

Expired Marketing Blueprint

Expired listings present one of the most profitable and overlooked opportunities in real estate. These homeowners are motivated—they’ve already made the decision to sell, invested time and energy, and now feel frustrated and let down by the process. By focusing on expired listings, you can position yourself as the solution they’ve been waiting for.

Here’s why this niche should be a cornerstone of your business:

1. The Numbers Speak for Themselves

Based on available data, nearly 40% of expired listings are relisted within the first 30 days, and many of these homeowners choose to work with a new agent. That’s your window of opportunity. By targeting this group early, with the right messaging and strategy, you can establish trust and secure listings before your competition.

But it doesn’t stop there. Some homeowners take longer to re-engage, which is why a long-term follow-up approach—like our 6-month campaign—can capture those who are ready later.

2. High Intent, Frustrated Sellers

Unlike other lead sources, expired listing homeowners are already committed to the idea of selling. Their frustration isn’t with the idea of moving—it’s with the process that failed them.

These sellers are looking for:

  • A proactive agent who can deliver results.
  • A fresh strategy that avoids the mistakes of their first attempt.
  • Clarity on what went wrong and how to fix it.

When you show empathy, expertise, and persistence, you stand out as the agent who can turn their situation around.

3. A Problem You Can Solve

The primary reasons listings fail to sell are:

  1. Pricing: The home wasn’t priced correctly for the market.
  2. Marketing: The home wasn’t effectively marketed to the right buyers.
  3. Presentation: The home didn’t appeal to buyers visually or emotionally.

With your expertise, these problems are solvable. By targeting expired listings, you’re working with sellers who need your skills—not just someone to list their home again.

Expired listings are a goldmine of opportunity, but success requires more than just sending out a postcard and hoping for the best. It’s about empathy, persistence, and offering clear solutions. With the data we’ve gathered and the systematic approach outlined here, you can turn expired listings into a cornerstone of your real estate business—and build a reputation as the agent who gets results.

Let’s dive into the sequence and strategies that will set you apart in this lucrative niche!

  4. 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.

A state of the union on buyer demand

This sales letter works because it’s timely, relevant, and low-pressure. It starts by grabbing attention with a 12% jump in mortgage applications—a statistic that feels significant, especially when paired with the 52% year-over-year increase. This creates curiosity and positions you as a knowledgeable expert.

It’s effective because it connects the data to the reader’s situation. By highlighting the growing pool of buyers and how it could lead to more offers and higher prices, it gives homeowners a reason to consider their options.

The call-to-action is simple: “Text me your address.” It feels personal, easy, and offers immediate value—a professional home value report. Even if they’re not planning to sell, it’s worth it to stay informed. The calm, conversational tone builds trust without any pressure, making it more likely they’ll take action.

This letter stands out because it delivers useful information, offers real value, and makes it easy for homeowners to respond.

Deal of the Week Letter

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.

NOO Sales Letter

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:

  1. 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.
  2. Authority: Citing reputable sources like Redfin and Yahoo Finance establishes credibility. It shows that the insights provided are backed by data, enhancing trust.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

FSBO Postcard

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. 🙏

Expired Letter

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.

Compare Options: The Anti-Gimmick Approach

Words can develop a reputation.

‍

And the "Cash Offer" has been abused.

‍

So, we've developed a new campaign. 

‍

It's the anti-gimmick approach.

‍

Here's why it works:

‍

1. The front of the card grabs attention

Days On Market Emoji Postcard

S/O to Jeremy Davis from Palm Agent.

‍

If you haven't downloaded their app, they have a killer feature that allows you to calculate the holding cost based on the sales price.

‍

If a home is on the market for 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, 120 days—how much does it actually cost the consumer to have their property sit on the market?

‍

Let's say, for example, that a $725,000 home is on the market for 90 days. The holding costs could be upwards of $19,000-20,000.

‍

Most sellers wouldn't know that. In their mind, what's the big deal if it's 7 days or 45 days?

‍

It matters because it could literally cost them thousands of dollars in equity they've earned.

‍

This campaign is a great opportunity for you to communicate why your ability to sell a home quickly actually matters to the consumer.

‍

Plus, it'll stand out in the mailbox.

Just Sold: Show the Sweat

We like to tell the consumers that selling is easy, fast and simple. 

‍

This message gets reinforced through postcards that tout results like: 

‍

“Sold in 3 days” or “Above Ask Price”

‍

This devalues our service. 

‍

So what’s the alternative? 

‍

Show the sweat.

‍

This is a postcard my team at Curaytor created for our client, Gretchen Coley.

‍

Here’s what I love about this postcard: 

‍

  1. There’s a hook “Even our clients were shocked” 
  2. We highlighted the pain the customer was experiencing 
  3. We broke down our strategy (showed the how) 
  4. We provided a specific performance metric to help reinforce the story
  5. We ended with a clear call to action

‍

Put it to work for you. ⬇️

Equity Update Direct Mail

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.

The Flattery Campaign

If you're looking for a strategy to build instant rapport with prospects, it's this one.

‍

Every homeowner wants to feel like they made a smart investment buying when they did, where they did.

‍

This is an opportunity for you to affirm their decision and prove it with relevant market data.

‍

The flattery angle is a smart way to engage the consumer, provide value, and build trust.

‍

And of course, don't just send the campaign and stop there.

‍

Hit the phones to follow-up.

You live in a hot neighborhood

If buyer demand is on the rise in a particular neighborhood, this is a great campaign to send:

‍

1. It educates the potential seller on the current market trends they should know about.

‍

2. It creates a sense of curiosity about their home's value.

‍

3. It positions you as the local expert.

‍

Send this direct mail campaign out to a hot neighborhood near you and hit the phones to follow-up.

5 Signs You're Ready to Sell

Show me that you know me.

‍

You've probably heard this phrase before. Good marketing builds credibility with your prospect by showing them that you understand them.

‍

This strategy is an opportunity to get inside the mind of your prospect, include local data or market trends, and speak to the most common reasons why they might consider selling now.

‍

You might be surprised to see how well your message resonates.

direct-mail-templates
Turnover Rate

This is a great angle that answers the question "Why should I sell now?" 

‍

Here's why it works:

‍

1. It highlights relevant, specific market trends that they'd care about. You're not waiting for permission to be helpful. You're actively bringing information to them that they should know about.

‍

2. It includes a compelling, direct response CTA.

‍

3. It builds rapport and trust. It makes the communication feel more personal and less like a standard sales pitch.

Compare Options

Most people don't know all their options when it comes to selling their home.

‍

Whether it's a Cash Offer, Fix & Flip, Buy Before You Sell, or a Traditional Sale—educate the consumer on the options they have when they work with you.

‍

This direct mail letter is a great example—it's value-first, but it includes a section where they can compare their options.

‍

This is a subtle way to provide value, build trust, and educate the consumer on how you can help them navigate this market.

This Facebook Ad Helped Sell This Home

This is a fantastic Just Sold angle.

‍

S/O to Cole Team Real Estate for executing this brilliantly.

‍

This is a strategy we like to call Market your marketing.

‍

It's one of the best ways to turn your recent sales into more listings.

‍

This is more than just a success story, it's proof that you're great at your job.

‍

By highlighting a specific marketing metric, you demonstrate your ability to get their home in front of more prospective buyers—something sellers value a lot.

The Yellow Letter Strategy: Truth In Marketing

There's power when you tell the truth in your marketing.

‍

Bill Bernbach, an American advertising creative director, said “A small admission gains a large acceptance.”

‍

This is a principle in advertising.

‍

Tell people what they already know with your direct mail marketing. 

‍

This strategy is a perfect example.

‍

Bonus: We used Yellow Letters Complete to create this campaign. They handwrite the notes using a robot, and you can add a custom sticky note that we find to be extremely effective in eliciting responses.

The Yellow Letter Strategy: Just Sold

This direct mail campaign generated a $2M listing. 

‍

Total spend, $1,200.

‍

We targeted 1,000 neighbors who had owned their homes for more than three years and had a property value of over $1.5M.

‍

Here’s why it worked:

‍

1. We had social proof (“Your neighbor hired us”).

‍

2. We provided specifics about the sale that couldn’t be found online.

‍

3. We shared a relevant statistic that piqued their curiosity.

‍

Most importantly, we had a clear and direct call to action targeted towards serious sellers.

‍

Bonus: We used Yellow Letters Complete to create this campaign. They handwrite the notes using a robot, and you can add a custom sticky note that we find to be extremely effective in eliciting responses.

Name Your Price Direct Mail

This is one of the best direct response campaigns that was originally written as an email, but could also be translated into direct mail.

‍

The Name Your Price strategy has generated hundreds of millions of dollars in listings because it's so incredibly simple—

‍

One message. One call-to-action.

‍

This is a campaign that you can send every 4-6 months, and you're going to get listings.

‍

Gretchen Coley sent out this campaign and generated 130 conversations, 8 listings.

‍

Now here's the thing—Gretchen didn't just send the postcard and wait for people to reply.

‍

She sent the postcard, got a few replies, then also picked up the phone and made phone calls.

‍

If you want to get an ROI from direct mail marketing, you've got to go the extra mile to send the postcard and make the call as well.

ZVA

This strategy is called Zillow vs Agent.

‍

(S/O to Jacob Stark for executing this strategy.)

‍

First, a question for you: What happens to the Zestimate when you list a property?

‍

Right—it changes to the list price.

‍

Talk about the biggest punch in the gut.

‍

If you list a property for $500,000 and you sell it for $500,000…it doesn't appear that you did anything. You simply sold it for the Zestimate.

‍

What most people don't realize is that maybe two weeks ago, the Zestimate was $430,000.

‍

But you had no record of proof that you actually sold that property for $70,000 above the Zestimate.

‍

Here's how to take advantage of that—

‍

Before you put the home in the MLS, take a screenshot of the Zestimate.

‍

Then after you sell it, you have a before and after to showcase how great you are at your job.

‍

Here's the exact copy to use in your letter.

direct-mail-templates
ZMA

1 listing appointment, 120 letters sent.

Here's how the ZMA works:

1. Print out a screenshot of their Zestimate

2. Add a handwritten sticky note with the CTA—Would you sell for 10% more than this? (feel free to adjust based on your market)

3. Mail to your farm. Handwritten is better than mass-produced.

Pro-tip: Use Propstream to build your list and use the following parameters:

7+ years

4%+ interest rate

Owner occupied with 30%+ equity

Of course, feel free to adjust based on your own knowledge of the market.

Working in Public

You’re going to love this strategy. 

‍

We all know that unsolicited CMAs work.

‍

What you need to do next is take your most marketable CMAs and turn them into a direct mail campaign to generate seller leads.

‍

The process goes like this:

‍

1. Do 5-10 CMAs.

‍

2. Highlight the most notable one.

‍

3. Send this letter to your farm.

‍

This is how you generate high-quality leads without paying a profit-crushing referral fee.

Just Sold

Just Sold Letters + Circle Dialing works.

‍

The following campaigns resulted in multiple listing appointments.

‍

Here's the pro-tip:

‍

1. Build a targeted list. Ideally, homes that fit in your local "sell-box."

‍

2. Create a campaign that provides information the consumer can't find online (i.e. # of offers, # of showings, etc.) with a simple and clear call-to-action. Don't include the final sale price—that gives potential sellers a reason to call.

‍

3. Make your offer clear and compelling.

‍

And finally, don't wait for the inbound calls. 

‍

Hit the phones to follow up. 

‍

This needs to become an SOP every time you sell a home.

Orphan Buyers

There are probably people in your database who bought a house with a real estate agent who no longer carries a license.

‍

They've been left to fend for themselves and probably have no relationship with an agent at this point.

Neglect Strategy

You're either going to love or hate this strategy…

‍

We've all heard the stat that 87% of consumers say that they'd work with their agent again, but only 12% do. (Source: NAR)

‍

Part of the reason why that is, is because the consumer never hears from their agent again after they buy or sell.

‍

This strategy speaks to those folks directly.

Reasons why people are selling this [season]

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.

We Have Buyers

End of Summer Text

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.

text-scripts
What’s one thing about your house…

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.

text-scripts
Pricing Trends Prospecting Text

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.

Serious Buyers Referral Text (Great Deal Version)

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.

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

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

Serious Buyers Referral Text (Off-Market Version)

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.

text-scripts
The last time we talked…

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.

‍

text-scripts
What’s the chance…

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.

text-scripts
Infinite Referral Script

This referral text is simple but strategic.

It’s based on research from Vanessa Van Edwards, a behavioral expert who studies how warmth, trust, and status drive responses.

Here’s what makes it work:
1. It opens with a high-warmth cue—“You’re so well-connected”—which triggers trust and makes the person feel seen.
2. It keeps the ask mutual, not transactional. You’re not selling—you’re inviting them into something valuable.
3. It uses power + warmth language to describe the listing. Instead of underselling it (“might be a good fit…”), you’re quietly signaling urgency and quality.

Send it now if you’ve got a great listing to a contact who knows everyone.

text-scripts
Buyer Reactivation Text

When buyers re-enter the market, it usually starts with curiosity.

Not bold moves—just a sense that the timing might be better. 

This text leans into that energy with a useful offer at the right moment.

text-scripts
Buyer Budget Text

Even a small rate dip can reset the conversation.

Not just because affordability improves—but because buyers start to feel the difference. According to Redfin, a recent drop from 7.08% to 6.67% gave buyers with a $3K/month budget an extra $16,000 in purchasing power. That subtle shift can be enough to re-engage someone who’s been sitting on the sidelines.

This text uses a light touch to invite that kind of buyer back into the dialogue.

text-scripts
The Ghost Text

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.

text-scripts
Have you given up on trying to buy a home this year?

We’ve tested a lot of scripts—but this one works faster than most.

It’s simple. Personal. And rooted in real psychology.

This is the kind of question that reopens the conversation without feeling salesy… even for leads who’ve gone completely dark.

Here’s the 10-word text that’s driving replies right now:

Hi Tom—
Have you given up on trying to buy a home this year?

Give it a shot. You might be surprised how many people answer.

The Off-Market Opener

We created this text campaign to solve a common (and costly) problem: vague, low-performing follow-ups. You know the line—"Just following up…” It’s overused, easily ignored, and signals you don’t have anything new to offer.

This campaign flips that script.

We’re replacing generic follow-ups with a confident, curiosity-driven opener: “This might be worth a quick conversation but I could be wrong.”‍

It’s disarming, conversational, and gives the recipient permission to say no—while still inviting engagement.

From there, we position the message around active buyer demand and the idea of “just seeing if there’s a number you’d consider,” even if selling isn’t on their radar. It’s direct, low-pressure, and refreshingly honest.

The goal?

Spark conversations with homeowners who aren’t actively selling—but might be willing to consider an off-market deal for the right price.

1:1 Market Update

Here’s how you generate more listings: Have more relevant conversations—consistently.

Most agents study the market daily. But few take that insight and share it directly with the people who care most: the homeowners in their sphere.

That’s what this text is for. It’s a simple 1:1 market update. Easy to digest. Personalized. Timely. And best of all—it gives you a natural reason to reach out at the start of each month.

Need a hook? Here are 5 ways to open the conversation:

  1. “I just saw 123 Main Street sold in your neighborhood.”

  2. “I noticed 123 Main Street had a price reduction recently.”

  3. “Looks like 3 homes near you hit the market last week.”

  4. “I saw inventory in your neighborhood is up 32% compared to this time last year.”

  5. “A home down the street just went under contract after sitting for 60 days.”

Each one flows naturally into: “Would it be helpful if I sent over a quick market update from May?”

Circle Prospecting Script: Off Market Listings

This script works especially well after sending the Hypothetical Offer text—because it gives you a natural reason to follow up. You’re not just cold calling… you’re calling with context.

No buyer yet? No problem. You can still adapt the script to focus on potential interest or market activity.

Bottom line: only say you have a buyer if you actually 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.

2026 Expired Listing Blueprint Call Script 5

This call script is designed to use story as proof. Instead of leading with claims, you let a real example do the work and invite the seller to see themselves in it.

2026 Expired Listing Blueprint Call Script 4

This call script is designed to steady the seller when everything else is loud. You acknowledge the headlines first, which lowers anxiety and shows awareness, then calmly separate media fear from market reality. By reframing the failed listing as a marketing and exposure issue - not a demand problem - you restore confidence without arguing optimism. The close respects their timing, which keeps you positioned as a guide, not a persuader. The goal here is simple: reduce uncertainty, build trust, and stay top of mind until they’re ready to move forward.

2026 Expired Listing Blueprint Call Script 3

This call script is designed to reframe pricing without triggering defensiveness. You normalize their original pricing decision, then introduce timing and buyer behavior to explain why small misalignments early on have outsized consequences. The insight about first-week interest shifts the conversation from opinion to logic, which builds trust fast. From there, you move to possibility - showing that a smart relaunch can still win - before offering help in a low-pressure way. The goal isn’t to debate price; it’s to reset the frame and open the door to a better strategy.

You acknowledge the headlines first, which lowers anxiety and shows awareness, then calmly separate media fear from market reality. By reframing the failed listing as a marketing and exposure issue - not a demand problem - you restore confidence without arguing optimism. The close respects their timing, which keeps you positioned as a guide, not a persuader. The goal here is simple: reduce uncertainty, build trust, and stay top of mind until they’re ready to move forward.

2026 Expired Listing Blueprint Call Script 3

This call script is designed to reframe pricing without triggering defensiveness. You normalize their original pricing decision, then introduce timing and buyer behavior to explain why small misalignments early on have outsized consequences. The insight about first-week interest shifts the conversation from opinion to logic, which builds trust fast. From there, you move to possibility - showing that a smart relaunch can still win - before offering help in a low-pressure way. The goal isn’t to debate price; it’s to reset the frame and open the door to a better strategy.

2026 Expired Listing Blueprint Call Script 2

This call script is designed to anchor the conversation to the letter and shift the seller from emotion into reflection. You’re inviting them to articulate where things broke down. By reinforcing the three leverage points, you reframe the failure as a strategy issue, not a personal one.

2026 Expired Listing Blueprint Call Script 1

This call script is designed to lower resistance first. Lead with empathy and validate their experience. Data shows sellers are far more open once they feel understood - and far less likely to shut down when you ask permission instead of pushing advice.

Destroy the Objections

This piece is one of the most powerful parts of the Cannonball because it does something most agents avoid: it brings every objection into the open. 

You’re naming the exact thoughts already running through the seller’s head - fear of empty promises, stress, poor communication, being passed off, leaving money on the table. When they read these, they feel understood before you ever speak.

The second hurdle you’ll need to clear with expired sellers:

Are they good at their job?

Let your clients do the talking. Each testimonial is a direct counterpunch to doubt.

The second section zooms out and reinforces that you’re great at your job.

direct-mail-templates
The Hidden Cost of Overpricing Your Home

This letter tackles one of the most sensitive topics in real estate, but it does so without accusation or pressure. You’re not telling the seller they were wrong. You’re showing them how the market actually behaves when a listing launches, and why those first few days matter more than most people realize.

The key move here is education, not correction. By introducing the idea that the majority of buyer interest happens early, you help the seller see pricing as a timing and exposure issue, not a judgment on their home’s worth. That shift lowers resistance fast.

You also balance the message with hope. You make it clear that a relaunch - done correctly - can increase results, not just fix mistakes.

This letter positions you as the steady professional who understands the mechanics behind the outcome and knows how to reset momentum the right way.

direct-mail-templates
Advanced Tactics

This final letter is where you fully step into authority. You’re not easing in anymore - you’re stating facts. Your track record. Your volume. And the clear pattern you’ve seen when homes don’t sell. The problem isn’t the house. It’s the plan behind it.

This message works because it introduces advanced tactics without overwhelming the seller. You’re giving them just enough to realize there’s a different level of marketing they likely haven’t been exposed to—while signaling that you know far more than what fits in a letter.

Each tactic is behavioral, not flashy. It explains why buyers act differently when the launch is engineered correctly.

This is your mic-drop moment - positioning you as the professional who finishes the conversation strong and leaves the next move entirely in their hands.

direct-mail-templates
Proof That the Right Strategy Works

Skepticism fades when strategy becomes visible.

This letter exists to replace hope with proof. After messages of clarity and reframing, now you show - not tell - what happens when the right plan is applied. But this only works if the example is real, recent, and specific.

This must be a personalized case study from your own business. A property the seller can picture. A timeline they recognize. Details that make the outcome undeniable. Days on market. Number of offers. What changed at relaunch. Vague success stories won’t land here, specifics create belief.

Notice you’re not promising the same result. You’re demonstrating what’s possible when presentation, promotion, and pricing finally align. That keeps the message credible and consultative.

This letter is where confidence starts to replace hesitation.

You’re no longer just explaining the problem - you’re showing you’ve already solved it, recently, and right where they live.

direct-mail-templates
Reasons to Feel Optimistic

This letter is designed to pull the seller out of the national noise and re-anchor them in what’s actually happening right now in their market.

The credibility here comes from specificity. Open houses you hosted. Showings you tracked. Buyers you’ve spoken with. This must be customized with real, hyper-local observations that only someone actively working in the market could know. That “boots on the ground” perspective is what separates you from every generic market update they’ve already ignored.

You’re also reinforcing a key theme from earlier letters: demand isn’t the problem - exposure and execution are. By now, that idea should feel familiar, even obvious, to the seller.

This message restores momentum without urgency.

It keeps you top of mind while gently reminding them that when they’re ready, there’s a smarter way forward.

direct-mail-templates
The Path Forward

Waiting rarely fixes a strategy gap, it just stretches the uncertainty.

This second letter is about helping the seller make a decision without pressure. They’re already replaying the last listing in their head, wondering if they chose the wrong agent, the wrong timing, or the wrong price. This message meets them right there and gives them a clean fork in the road.

Notice the restraint. You’re not chasing them. You’re giving them permission to disengage if they truly believe everything was done right. That confidence is disarming, and it signals experience.

Then you re-anchor the conversation around exposure and execution. You introduce the idea that there is a path forward, and that it’s repeatable, intentional, and proven.

This letter doesn’t explain the strategy yet.

It earns curiosity, reasserts control, and sets up the next message where you show exactly how you operate differently.

direct-mail-templates
This Isn’t the Outcome You Expected

This first letter in the 2026 Expired Listing Blueprint is meant to slow the moment down and reframe what just happened - without blaming the seller or bashing the last agent. You’re speaking to someone who already did the work, took the risk, and still didn’t get the result. That frustration is real, and this message names it directly.

Then you shift the conversation.

By breaking the failed sale into three clear leverage points - presentation, promotion, and price - you give the seller language for what likely went wrong and show them this wasn’t random or personal. It was fixable.

Your goal is simple: restore confidence, establish authority, and open the door for a smarter second attempt - on their terms.

The Relaunch Cover Letter

This page sets the tone for the entire Cannonball.

The Relaunch Plan cover is a comparison. You’re holding up a mirror to their last experience while showing how it could - and should - feel different. Side by side. Old reality versus a reimagined one.

Clear fixes for each breakdown. Better visibility. Better positioning. Better communication. Stronger negotiation.

This is the first page they read, and it should feel like relief.

A fresh start that says: You weren’t wrong. You just didn’t have the right plan.

direct-mail-templates
The Perfect Resume

This piece is your proof-of-work that you’re great at your job - clean, visual, and impossible to ignore. The Perfect Resume isn’t about ego or flexing numbers. It’s about removing uncertainty by showing the seller, at a glance, that they’re dealing with a professional who operates at a high level and does it consistently.

Design matters here. This should feel polished and intentional, not crowded or defensive. The stats do the heavy lifting: longevity, volume, pricing strength, recent momentum. No explanations needed.

And here’s the key: if your individual numbers feel modest, don’t undersell yourself. Use your team’s performance.

‍

direct-mail-templates
Sales Letter

Expired sellers don’t need more options, they need a clear path. But before they’ll follow anyone forward, three hurdles have to be cleared.

The first is empathy: Do you actually understand what I just went through?

This is the opening shot of the Cannonball. The first contact. The moment you interrupt the noise and reset the narrative before other agents turn desperation into discounting. You’re grounding the seller in facts - real sales, real price ranges, real activity in their area - and calmly pointing out the missed opportunity without blame.

You’re also acknowledging two emotional truths at once: some sellers are ready to act, others are worn down and overwhelmed. Either way, you position timing and strategy as the real stakes of the next few weeks.

Most importantly, this letter works because it arrives with the Relaunch Plan. You’re not just identifying the gap, you’re showing up with a framework and a next step already thought through.

This is exemplifying leadership. And it sets the tone for everything that follows.

direct-mail-templates
The Relaunch Roadmap

This page sets the tone for the entire Cannonball.

The Relaunch Plan cover is a comparison. You’re holding up a mirror to their last experience while showing how it could - and should - feel different. Side by side. Old reality versus a reimagined one.

Lead Activation Text

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.

Stuck?

We call this a “fast ball” email because it’s quick, clean, and built to get replies.

It leads with empathy. It sounds personal, even off-the-cuff. And it mirrors the exact conversations many agents are already having right now, where people want to move but feel frozen by uncertainty.

The format is simple on purpose: A short, genuine note that puts a few common scenarios on the table and invites the reader to raise their hand. That’s it.

Let’s get it out there.

Why Clients Choose [Your Team] When the Stakes Are High

You’re not just selling homes. You’re selling certainty—in a market full of doubt.

The mistake? Thinking your experience speaks for itself. It doesn’t. Not anymore.

We saw this video by Dewayne Carpenter—just 90 seconds, no fluff, no hype—and it stopped us cold. It framed experience not as ego, but as an edge. And it did what most agent videos don’t: it made us feel the value of working with someone who’s done the reps.

So we reverse-engineered it.

We broke down the structure, reworked the beats, and wrote you a script that’s ready to record—without sounding like a script. Something you could put on your homepage, pin to your YouTube channel, or use as a trust-building asset when someone’s deciding whether to hit “schedule a call.”

This isn’t about flexing your résumé. It’s about translating experience into language the consumer actually understands—and values.

Use this to show—not tell—why working with you isn’t a gamble. It’s a shortcut.

Deal of the Week: I think it’s safe to say…

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 - and turn it into a reason for people to stop, share, and engage.

We know: you can’t always get the listing agent’s permission to share the photos of your Deal of the Week. That’s why we created this template.

Follow the instructions below on how to edit the template in Canva and post to Instagram.

Not sure which listing to feature?

  • 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 your deal of the week.

Destroy the objection.
Bring something new.
Offer a soft, low-pressure CTA.

You’ll find two versions of the script below: a clean, plug-and-play version for anyone… and a personalized version with hook ideas if you want to go deeper.

Think like a buyer

Redfin’s analysis shows that new listings get dramatically more views in the first few days than older listings — and even a price drop never brings the same level of interest back.

Translation for sellers:

• Your first 72 hours get the most attention you’ll ever see.

• Buyer interest falls fast once a listing sits.

• Correcting the price later doesn’t create a second launch.

This is important info for you to communicate. But with the wrong energy, it can come across as off-putting.

So we softened the approach in this email, and framed it with a simple piece of advice: think like a buyer.

Seller Lead Activation

Inspired by Ken Pozek’s Instagram Story, this is a perfect campaign to use when you want to convert through Instagram Stories—whether you have a Just Sold listing to promote or not.

‍

The reason why this campaign is so effective is that it leans into the “herd mentality”—the idea that consumers tend to follow the actions and choices of a larger group, often driven by social proof and the perception that popular decisions are the safest or best.

‍

If you’ve recently sold a home, use this campaign to showcase your listing. And if you haven’t recently sold a home, use it as an opportunity to showcase homes that have sold recently in a specific neighborhood for the same effect.

You Won’t Find This Info On Zillow…

Most buyers walk into a home and see potential. They see possibilities, aesthetics, the way the space feels. But as an agent, your job isn’t just to see what is—it’s to spot what could be a problem before it becomes a regret. That’s the difference between an emotional decision and a smart investment.

Inspired by Marie Lee’s viral Instagram Reel, this perspective shift will help your clients make sharper, more informed choices.

Worried about fixing up your home before you sell?

Most sellers assume they need to spend thousands fixing up their home before listing. But what if that’s not actually the case?

This Instagram carousel is designed to challenge that assumption. Instead of pushing renovations, it shifts the focus to what actually matters—buyer demand, strategic positioning, and connecting with the right buyers.

The slides walk homeowners through a counterintuitive insight: upgrades aren’t always necessary, and in many cases, skipping them can lead to a faster, more profitable sale. By the end, the CTA is clear—before they spend a dime, they should DM you first.

Overlay with text, and let the caption do the heavy lifting. It doesn’t need to be super polished, the priority here is a clear message.

The source of this data point mentioned in the description is from BatchService and surfaced by Lance Lambert, co-founder of ResiClub:

According to an analysis by BatchService, approximately 1.2 million U.S. home sales in 2024 were conducted off-market. Given that the National Association of Realtors reported about 5 million existing-home sales in 2024, this suggests that roughly 24% of home sales occurred off-market.

Potential Off-Market Listings

In today’s competitive real estate market, finding the perfect home can be challenging, especially when the best properties get snapped up quickly. The Circle Prospecting Post strategy offers a solution by engaging your social network to uncover off-market deals before they hit mainstream platforms like Zillow.

Circle Prospecting Post is a proactive social media tactic where agents announce their upcoming calls to homeowners in specific neighborhoods. This post creates buzz and interest among potential buyers, inviting them to express interest in exclusive deals.

For example: "Hi Friends, I'm going to be calling around the 223 homes in Auburn, NH this morning between 700-900k. If I come across any potential deals, should I contact you?"

This strategy benefits agents by generating new leads and building anticipation for off-market opportunities. It enhances their reputation as dedicated professionals who go the extra mile.

For buyers, Circle Prospecting Post is a game-changer. It offers access to properties not yet listed online, giving them a competitive edge. By engaging with these posts, buyers can find homes that perfectly match their needs.

In essence, Circle Prospecting Post leverages social media to maximize engagement and uncover hidden real estate opportunities, ensuring a more successful home-buying experience.

Home Value IG Video

The typical home value ad is overused.

Over-advertised.

So let's try something different…

Most agents don’t know that you can generate seller leads with Instagram Stories. 

But there’s a catch…

If you’re going to be posting stories on Instagram, you need to be using polls and questions. 

These are simple interactive tools that turn impressions into warm leads. 

Here's an Instagram story template you can use to generate "inbound" IG leads.

All you have to do is add the poll (with no title).

Then add these poll answers:

In the last 7 days.

It's been a while.

It's been way too long.

When people respond to the poll, slide into their DMs with the following scripts:

In the last 7 days → What do you think about the value?

It's been a while or way too long → Would it be helpful if I prepared a professional home value report for you?

IG stories are a cheat code for seller leads.

Here's how you can generate Instagram Seller Leads using the Zestimate. ⬇️

‍

Step 1: Always take a photo of the Zestimate before you put it in the MLS. This helps you avoid Zillow's fancy algorithm from  taking credit for your pricing strategy.

‍

Step 2: When you sell the home above the Zestimate, promote it as an IG story.

‍

Step 3: Create a poll with the question: Is your Zestimate accurate?

‍

Step 4: DM every person who responds to the poll with a CMA offer: Hey [First Name], I noticed that you responded that our Zestimate was wrong. Would it be helpful if I put together a professional home equity for your home? It will be much more accurate than an online tool.

‍

Step 5: Schedule calls to review the results with your prospects.

What do buyers really want right now?

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.

email-campaigns
I don’t know who needs to hear this but…

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.

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.

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.

How to avoid buyer’s remorse

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.

Coming Soon: Skip the Waitlist

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.

2026 Expired Listing Blueprint Cannonball Call Script

This call script is designed to anchor the conversation to the letter and shift the seller from emotion into reflection. You’re inviting them to articulate where things broke down. By reinforcing the three leverage points, you reframe the failure as a strategy issue, not a personal one.

2026 Expired Listing Blueprint Call Script 6

This call script is designed to establish credibility without bragging. You reference results to create confidence, then immediately shift the spotlight off the numbers and onto strategy. By naming specific tactics, you differentiate yourself from generic agents while keeping the focus on buyer behavior. The “last outreach” line adds respect and scarcity without pressure. The purpose of this call is to clearly position you as the professional with a plan, and then let the seller decide if they want access to it.

2026 Expired Listing Blueprint Call Script 5

This call script is designed to use story as proof. Instead of leading with claims, you let a real example do the work and invite the seller to see themselves in it. That question - did this sound familiar? - creates self-recognition, which is far more powerful than persuasion. By offering specific ideas regardless of the outcome, you position yourself as generous and confident in your process.

2026 Expired Listing Blueprint Call Script 4

This call script is designed to steady the seller when everything else is loud. You acknowledge the headlines first, which lowers anxiety and shows awareness, then calmly separate media fear from market reality. By reframing the failed listing as a marketing and exposure issue - not a demand problem - you restore confidence without arguing optimism. The close respects their timing, which keeps you positioned as a guide, not a persuader. The goal here is simple: reduce uncertainty, build trust, and stay top of mind until they’re ready to move forward.

2026 Expired Listing Blueprint Call Script 3

This call script is designed to reframe pricing without triggering defensiveness. You normalize their original pricing decision, then introduce timing and buyer behavior to explain why small misalignments early on have outsized consequences. The insight about first-week interest shifts the conversation from opinion to logic, which builds trust fast. From there, you move to possibility - showing that a smart relaunch can still win - before offering help in a low-pressure way. The goal isn’t to debate price; it’s to reset the frame and open the door to a better strategy.

IG Reel: Top 5 Most Popular Housing Markets

If you want to post a market update that actually gets attention—start here.

This Reel was inspired by Katie Day’s “5 Most Sold Neighborhoods” video, which pulled in over 15,000 views in less than a week.

Why? Because it’s simple, hyperlocal, and answers a question buyers and sellers actually care about:

Where are homes selling right now?

Use this at the end of the month to highlight the top-performing neighborhoods in your city—sales volume, average price, days on market. You can record a quick video breaking it down… or keep it simple and plug the numbers into our faceless template.

Either way, it’s a fast, effective way to stay visible, relevant, and valuable—without needing to over-explain the market.

IG Story: Most Overrated Neighborhood?

Not every Story needs to be educational. Sometimes it just needs to start a conversation.

This one came from Jeremy Knight—he posted it to his Facebook page and the comments took off. It’s bold enough to spark reactions, but casual enough to feel like a real conversation starter: “A client just asked me what [Area]’s most overrated neighborhood is. 😳 I think I know the answer…what do you think?”

Add a question box. That’s it.

It’s local. It’s fun. And it gets people talking. You’ll spark DMs, get a read on public opinion, maybe even uncover a few strong opinions to share (anonymously or not—your call).

Deal of the Week Social

We’ve been testing a lot of ways to bring the Deal of the Week strategy to Stories—and this one’s a winner.

It’s simple. Swipeable. And engineered to build momentum before the CTA hits.

Instead of leading with a poll (which can feel rushed), we let the story unfold over 3 slides—hook → details → standout features—then drop the poll. That structure alone gave us 6x more engagement in recent tests.

The best part? This is one of those rare story templates that works whether you're showing your face or not. You can record a walkthrough, use listing photos, or keep it text-only and still make it feel personal and high-value.

We pulled the hook from one of the 1,200 top-performing Instagram creators we track at Listing Leads—and built the rest to help you execute fast.

Use it to spotlight hidden gems, test urgency-driven content, or just stay top of mind with serious buyers.

IG Reel: The secret to getting a lowball offer accepted

This is the kind of content buyers actually save.

It answers a question they’re already thinking about—“Can I make a low offer?”—and gives them a smart, helpful framework for when and how that works.

The beauty of this Reel? You don’t even need to be on camera.
The caption does the heavy lifting, walking through timing, terms, and tone—while the Reel itself can be as simple as a text-based hook or B-roll with overlay.

We know listings are sitting on the market longer right now, so we thought this might be a good moment to meet the market with a message like this. It’s timely, relevant—and likely to resonate.

“I wanted to buy a home this year but about to give up because…”

After analyzing thousands of real estate creators, we’ve noticed a trend: the highest-engagement polls are often the most casual. They feel like a text from a friend, not a marketing post. That’s exactly what this story is designed to do.

Starting with “Debated not posting this…” immediately disarms your audience. It signals vulnerability and curiosity—two powerful triggers that drive replies, votes, and DMs. Pair that with a low-maintenance design and a simple poll format, and you’ve got a high-impact story that feels spontaneous but is strategically built for engagement.

Use this poll to re-engage buyers who may be silently struggling or considering stepping out of the market. It opens the door to honest conversations—and gives you a soft way to reintroduce helpful guidance.

[Your City] Propaganda I Am Absolutely Falling For

This Reel taps into a trend that’s everywhere right now (like here) — and for good reason.

It’s not just funny. It’s tribal. It’s us vs. them, but in the most charming, slightly unhinged, deeply relatable way.

“[Your City] Propaganda I Am Absolutely Falling For” is your chance to lovingly call out the oddly specific, wildly inaccurate, and completely accepted delusions your city lives by.

Think: overpriced habits, generational conditioning, chaotic seasonal rituals — all delivered like a late-night group chat that got out of hand (in the best way).

Why it works:

  • Builds instant connection with your local audience
  • Makes people laugh and feel seen
  • Reinforces that you're not just a local expert — you’re one of them

And best of all? It’s ridiculously easy to make. Swap in your city, riff on 15 local one-liners, hit post, and watch the comments roll in: “ALL OF THE ABOVE ❤️” “Felt way too seen 😭” “Okay but why is this actually true?”

Some will laugh, some will argue, and some will start adding their own. That’s when you know it’s working.

Every seller we work with has second thoughts right before we list. Here’s why →

We hear it all the time from top agents: "The marketing was so good, my sellers joked they didn’t want to move anymore."

That insight sparked this post.

We turned it into a carousel with a hook that sellers (and future clients) can’t ignore:

“Every seller we work with has second thoughts right before we list.”

Because this is your moment to show the sweat—to spotlight the prep, the polish, the vision-building that happens before a home ever hits the market.

This carousel helps you:

  • Show off your behind-the-scenes process
  • Explain why marketing matters
  • Make a confident call to action to DM when it’s time to sell

Smart. Emotional. Sharable.That’s the kind of marketing that sells homes and builds your brand.

Houses that sold with ________ in 2025 in [Area]

This Reel was inspired by a viral post from Lucky to Live Here:

“Houses that sold with the highest taxes in 2025 on Long Island.”

 It’s hyper-local, data-driven, and built for curiosity clicks.

We’ve turned that idea into a customizable Instagram Reel template for your market.

Pick the hook that fits your area best:
→ The steepest price cuts
→ The highest taxes
→ The longest or shortest days on market
→ The highest monthly payments

Then showcase 3–4 recent sales with that stat front and center. Quick to make, easy to engage—and a smart way to start conversations

It’s a soft entry point into deeper DMs—and a perfect opportunity to follow up with anyone who responds with an offer to prepare an updated equity report, no strings attached.

1 in 7 Homebuyers Are Backing Out | [Your City] Real Estate Market Update

1 in 7 deals fell apart last month. (Redfin)

Not offers that never came in. Contracts that were accepted—and then canceled.

That stat alone gives you a reason to speak up. Because behind every canceled deal is a question your clients are already asking: Is now still a good time to buy or sell?

This video gives you a calm, data-backed way to answer it.

You’ll walk buyers through the silver linings. Show sellers where the leverage still exists. And offer a neighborhood-level perspective most agents never take the time to explain.

If you’re looking for a smart, steady way to show up this week—this is it.

This is 1 of 4 homes that just had a price drop…

Price drops are happening for a reason.
Some homes were overpriced. Some sellers misread the market.

But for buyers? That shift creates opportunity.

This Instagram Story leans into what’s actually happening—without sugarcoating it. It gives buyers a reason to engage, and gives you a simple way to start real conversations based on real-time changes in the market.

Here’s the post—just plug in the neighborhood:

“This is 1 of 4 homes that just had a price drop…
…in one of the hottest neighborhoods in [City Name].
Should I send you the other 3?? They're all priced below recent comps.”

→ Yes, I’m curious → Show me the deals

What it’s really like to sell your home when…

Selling a home is rarely as simple—or as fast—as people expect.

That’s why we created this carousel: to walk future sellers through what the process actually feels like. The decisions, the doubts, the waiting, the wins.

It’s not meant to capture every scenario. Instead, it offers a realistic, emotionally honest timeline to help set better expectations—especially in a market where things are taking longer and patience matters more than ever.

Just one note: you’ll want to edit Slide 7 to reflect the average days on market in your area.Use it as-is—or tweak the timeline to better fit what you’re seeing with your clients.

When I tell people I live in [Area], they think…

This Reel flips the narrative—and that’s exactly why it works.

Most buyers have a surface-level impression of your area: traffic, sprawl, or sky-high prices. But that’s not the whole story. 

Inspired by Marie Lee’s viral Instagram Reel, this format is a smart way to shift perception in 7 seconds or less.

Here’s why it works:

  • It creates contrast—what people think vs. what’s true.
  • It uses humor and visual storytelling to reframe objections.
  • It builds local pride while educating your audience.

A few example angles you could use:

  • “When I say I live in East Nashville, they think I mean Broadway crowds… but I really mean tree-lined streets and neighbors who bring you sourdough.”

  • “When I say I’m in Miami, they picture traffic on I-95… but I’m really biking to a quiet cafĂŠ two blocks from the bay.”

  • “When I say I live in Jersey City, people think it’s just high-rises and PATH trains… but I really mean farmers markets and parks with skyline views.”

  • “When I say I live in Scottsdale, they think I mean golf courses and gated communities… but I really mean trails, tacos, and sunset hikes after work.”

Use this Reel to reclaim the narrative—and connect with buyers who want what you see every day.
