In part two of Open the Gates to More Listings meets The Complete Agent, Simon Gates, James Kendall, Dave Warburton and Ian Storey break down how estate agents can use direct mail properly to win better instructions, higher fees and more trust with homeowners.
The episode explores why direct mail still works, especially at the mid to higher end of the market, and why the quality of the envelope, handwriting, paper, content and consistency all shape how an agent is perceived before the homeowner ever picks up the phone.
The conversation covers quarterly market updates, on-market letters, withdrawn property campaigns, VIP buyer letters, and why direct mail should educate rather than simply advertise. The key message is that prospecting works best when it feels like a service, not a sales pitch.
They also discuss how direct mail links with social media, why older high-end homeowners often respond better to print, and how agents can use handwritten, highly targeted communication to separate themselves from generic leaflet drops and AI-generated content.
