Listing Launch Email Templates (6-Email Sequence)
Copy-ready email templates for announcing, following up, and closing serious interest on any commercial listing.
Key takeaways
- Coming-soon email builds anticipation before launch
- Launch email leads with the offering memorandum investment thesis, not the address
- Follow-up #2 surfaces 60–70% of serious buyers — see the Listing Launch Guide for the full 5-touch sequence
- Final notice creates urgency without being pushy

Frequently asked questions
Should I personalize every email or use the template as-is?
The best results come from personalizing the first line and any context-specific details (why this deal matches their criteria) while keeping the structure consistent. IntellCRE's email tool lets you personalize at scale without rewriting each message.
What send time works best for CRE outreach?
Tuesday–Thursday, 7–9am local time for your recipient. Avoid Monday mornings and Friday afternoons. For investors on the West Coast, adjust accordingly.
