Before You Use This Email

Why This Approach Works

Platform Setup Steps

Trigger

An intentional relocation buyer asks for ongoing help and supplies or agrees to define objective search criteria.

Segment

Relocation buyers who requested ongoing help and have appropriate permission, excluding represented-party conflicts, opt-outs, and undefined or discriminatory criteria.

Delay

Send after the initial inquiry response and before recurring property recommendations.

Reply owner: Licensed buyer agent responsible for objective criteria, consistent information access, representation disclosures, and fair-housing compliance.

  1. Confirm permission, representation status, service area, and objective criteria fields.
  2. Provide consistent local-information sources and current property results.
  3. Record buyer-selected criteria and route fair-housing, lending, legal, tax, and inspection questions appropriately.

Stop conditions

  • Stop on reply requiring human advice, representation conflict, close request, opt-out, invalid contact, purchase, or active agent conversation.
  • Stop automated results when criteria or listing data becomes stale.
  • Stop and require agent review for coded demographic, protected-class, or potentially steering requests.

Mistakes To Avoid

  • Recommending “family neighborhoods”

    It can express a familial-status preference and steer.

    Use instead: Use objective property criteria and buyer-selected source research.

  • Answering safety or school questions with personal rankings

    Subjective answers can be inconsistent or proxies for demographics.

    Use instead: Provide consistent identified sources and let the buyer evaluate.
