Email Strategy #2
Dear XXX,
I hope you have been enjoying comparing the value of your home to others recently and currently on the market. I thought I would check in with you since I have been emailing you information on the value of your home and how it is continuing to compare to your neighbors. Has this information been helpful to you? Are there any special considerations you would like to have me take into account when sending this information or perhaps you have questions or concerns around selling your home? If you are like most people, you probably receive more emails than you would like sometimes. If you are not interested in staying up to date on what is happening in your areas real estate market, just let me know and I would be happy to stop sending you information.
Please let me know how I can help you or if you know anyone who is interested in knowing what is happening in the current real estate market. Sincerely,
If Your Answer is “Once Upon a Time”

Email Strategy #3
Hey XXX,
Me again, (Your Name) with (Your Company) and (Your Website), and I still haven't heard from you. I'm beginning to feel a little ignored... but that's ok, because many people are a little nervous in replying back to me when they're just not sure what they want to do and how they prefer to move forward. I can help you with that and talk with you about all your concerns, if only you would let me!
Please call or email me when you get a chance so we can discuss your needs.
I'm looking forward to hearing back from you!

Email Strategy #4
Dear XXXOn the XXth of June, I sent you market analysis of your home and neighborhood and asked for an opportunity to do a detailed evaluation to determine the optimum value of your property. As I haven't heard from you yet, I can only assume one of the following:1) You're now not interested and I'm reduced to the status of an annoying piece of
spam clogging up your email; or
2) You desperately want to contact me, but you're trapped under a fallen filing cabinet and can't reach your phone or PC.
Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.Kind regards,
P.S. If it is #2, please let me know and I'll send someone round to help you out.

Email Strategy #5
Dear XXX
I hope you have been enjoying comparing the value of your home to others recently and currently on the market. I pride myself in providing customized service to each person I work with. I hope you will be willing to help me accomplish this by sharing a little more about your needs and timing.
It’s easy I promise!
If you were just curious, and we treat you like someone who needs to sell immediately, you will think of us as pests. On the other hand, if you do need to sell immediately, and we think you were just curious, you will find us not attentive to your needs.
Would you reply to this email and let us know, on a scale from 1-5:1 = You were just curious, 5 = You need to sell immediately
This way I can start to customize my communication to the level of service you desire.
I look forward to answering all your real estate questions. Please don't hesitate to email or call
