Email 2: “How Much Equity Could You Use Toward Your Next Home?”

Subject: You might have more equity than you think…

Hi [First Name],

Home values have gone up quite a bit over the last few years — and depending on when you bought your current home, you might be sitting on more equity than you realize.

That could go a long way toward your next move.

Would you like a quick estimate of your home's current value? I can prepare a personalized report and help you understand what’s possible.

Hi [First Name],

Life changes — and sometimes your home no longer fits your lifestyle, family, or goals.

If you’ve been thinking about trading up for more space or downsizing for simplicity, I’d love to help you explore what’s possible — especially if you’d need to sell your current home first.

I can give you an idea of your home’s value, walk you through market timing, and help you plan both steps with confidence.

This would include:

  • What your home is worth today
  • What you could afford next
  • How to time both transactions smoothly

I can have it ready in the next few days — would that be helpful?

Let me know!
