Email still works — if you do it right.

Most realtors send emails that look like flyers. Generic subject lines, one big property image, and a bunch of info that sounds like a listing sheet. But here’s the truth: people don’t read sales emails — they respond to human ones.

If you’re tired of ghosted leads, here are three ways to make your real estate emails work like a quiet lead machine in the background.


1. Use subject lines that sound like texts

Forget “🏡 Just Listed!” or “Market Update – April 2025.”
Try something that starts a conversation instead:

  • “This one’s perfect for you…”
  • “Would you live here?”
  • “Want to see something off-market?”

You’re not trying to sell in the subject — you’re trying to get the click.


2. Speak like you’re 1:1

Your leads don’t want a newsletter — they want to feel like you’re writing just to them.
Even if you’re sending a bulk email, you can still say:

“I just previewed this listing and immediately thought of you — it’s got the backyard we talked about.”

Little details make a big difference.


3. End with a low-pressure CTA

Skip the “Contact me today!” push. Try something more natural:

  • “Want me to send the full walkthrough?”
  • “Need help comparing this one to others?”
  • “I’ve got a couple similar listings if you’re curious — just reply ‘yes.’”

Calls-to-action that sound like conversations convert better than commands.
