Subject: A recent client story in [Neighborhood Name]
Hi [Recipient Name],
Choosing the right real estate agent is a significant decision. I find that hearing directly from past clients can be helpful, so I wanted to share a recent experience.
We just helped [Client Name(s)] sell their home over on [Street Name], and they were kind enough to share a few words about the process:
"[Insert client testimonial here. For example: 'Working with [Your Name] was a seamless experience. They understood the market, priced our home perfectly, and guided us through every step. We couldn't be happier with the outcome.']"
My goal is to provide this level of clarity and results for everyone I work with. If you’re curious about what your own experience could look like, I'm available to discuss your goals whenever you're ready.
All the best,

Subject: A complimentary valuation for your home on [Street Name]
Hi [Recipient Name],
Online valuation tools can give you a general idea of your home's worth, but they often miss the specific details that define a property's true market value. Given the recent activity in [Neighborhood Name], I wanted to offer you something more precise.
I'm providing complimentary, no-obligation property valuations for homeowners in the area. This isn't an automated estimate; it's a straightforward analysis based on current market data and comparable sales right here in your neighborhood.
If you're curious about what your home is worth in today's market, I can prepare a custom report for you. Let me know if you’d be open to a brief chat to discuss it.
Best regards,
