Just Sold checklist (do this every time)

StepAction
1. TimingMail as soon as practical after closing—while the sale is still neighborhood news
2. AudienceSame farm / nearby radius as the sold property (owners, not every-door saturation)
3. CreativeHero photo + Just Sold headline + address or area + key result + your branding
4. CTAOne clear ask (valuation, text, call)—not three competing offers
5. Follow-throughContinue farming that pocket (market updates / ASV) so JS isn’t a one-off
6. FulfillmentDesign → print → mail in one place; WP: 6″ × 9″, $1.04 all-in, no minimum

What to put on the card

Must-have

  • Clear Just Sold (or Sold) status
  • Strong exterior or featured photo (300 dpi+)
  • Property identity (address or identifiable neighborhood cue)
  • Selective proof: price, beds/baths, sq ft, or days-on-market—only what you’re allowed to share
  • Your name, photo/logo, phone, and preferred contact path
  • One CTA

Nice-to-have

  • Short client quote (nearby sale, if permitted)
  • QR to valuation / landing page (ASV-style offers on Wise Pelican)
  • Map pin or “sold in your neighborhood” line

Avoid

  • Tiny unreadable photos
  • Walls of features with no CTA
  • EDDM-style “mail everyone on the route” when you need homeowners near the sale (EDDM vs WP)

Copy bank (short, editable)

Use as starting points—swap facts and compliance language for your market.

  1. Proof + valuation: “Just Sold on [Street]. Curious what your home could bring? Scan for a free valuation.”
  2. Neighbor curiosity: “Another [Neighborhood] home closed. Want comps for your address? Text [Number].”
  3. Buyer/seller dual: “We just helped [buyers/sellers] close at [Address]. Thinking of a move? Call [Name].”
  4. Speed/result: “Sold. [Beds] bed / [Baths] bath · [Result you can share]. Next: your turn—[CTA].”
  5. Farm continuity: “Just Sold nearby—and we’re mailing this farm every month. Ask for this month’s market update.”
  6. QR-led: “Scan for your home’s estimated value range. Local agent: [Name] · [Phone].”

Who to target

AudienceWhy
Homes near the sold propertyHighest relevance; comps spark questions
Your active farm / geo farmReinforces consistency (farm size & frequency)
Past clients in the areaReferral and repeat opportunities
Absentee / investor owners (if list supports it)Different motivation; still owner-targeted mail

Lists: upload your own or purchase/build (WP lists 10¢/address, separate from the postcard price) — mailing lists.

Timing and cadence

  1. JS drop soon after closing
  2. Optional thank-you / market update 3–4 weeks later
  3. Keep the farm on a steady rhythm (many agents aim for about every 4–6 weeks) so Just Sold isn’t the only touch

Budget from Wise Pelican math: $1.04 pay-as-you-go per mailed 6″ × 9″ card; subscriptions 99¢ / 94¢ / 88¢ monthly (Starter / Growth / Dominate) or annual 94¢ / 88¢ / 83¢ — subscriptions. Example: 250 nearby homes × $1.04 ≈ $260 for one JS drop.

Just Sold Postcard FAQs

A mailer that announces a recent closing to nearby homeowners—social proof that you get results in their neighborhood.

As soon as practical after closing, while the sale is still fresh. Then keep mailing the farm on a regular cadence.

Primarily homeowners near the sold property (your farm or a tight radius)—not generic every-door saturation unless that is a deliberate EDDM strategy (Wise Pelican does not offer EDDM).

One low-friction ask: free valuation, text for comps, or a call. Pair with a QR or unique phone/landing page so you can count replies.
