Rule #7 for writing real estate prospecting letters: Use good grammarWhen you’re writing real estate prospecting letters, take care with your grammar and spelling.You should do that no matter what you’re writing, but it might be even more important when writing prospecting letters. If you make a mistake on a web page or blog post, you can fix it, but once you’ve sent that letter, you’re finished.People keep and even share postal mail. That’s good. But when they discuss your letter, you want them to discuss how you'll be able to help them – not your poor grammar or your misspelled words.So proofread. Check and then check again, because it’s easy to miss an error on the first or second read. Part of the problem is that when you wrote it, you “know” what it says. So you see what you expect... 04/12/2025

Rule #6 in writing real estate prospecting letters: Keep writing!The gurus who test direct mail tell us that you should expect less than a 1% response from a single mailing. Their studies show that another 18% of the responses will come with the 2nd through 4th contacts, and that a full 80% come from the 5th to 12th contact. Thus, most recommend that 5 “touches” are a minimum.What is a “touch?” It could be a letter, a postcard, an email, a phone call, or even an in-person visit.  I recommend using every method you can because your prospects are not all alike. One may respond well to a postal letter or postcard while another will only respond to a phone call or email.Next, the touches need to be spaced fairly close together. If you mail a letter in July and don’t write again until Septem... 04/11/2025

Rule #5 for writing real estate prospecting letters - Never be pushy.Remember the old adage about the folly of asking someone to marry you on the first date.Pushing for a listing too soon is a similar folly. Most of us don't like to be pushed, so when someone pushes us, we push back - and push them away! Instead of pushiness, give homeowners good information. Show them how you can help, and offer to do so, but don’t annoy them by being pushy.Whatever you do, never be rude. Never assume that they owed you a reply to any of your letters. I sometimes get email from people saying things like "I've written you twice now and you haven't answered me! Take time today to reply." What?? If I'd wanted to answer, I'd have answered. Once in a while, if I'm in less than a terrific mood, I actually wr... 04/10/2025
