What this CEO actually cares about
A CEO in Real Estate is protecting time, reputation, and optionality. They skim on a phone between meetings. If the first two lines don't name a business outcome, the rest never gets read. The hook that earns a look is a P&L, risk, or competitive issue they already feel. The ask should stay at this size: one decision or a 10-minute yes, not a workshop. Delete trigger: A long origin story or a request to 'pick your brain.' They protect time, reputation, and optionality, so keep the ask at "one decision or a 10-minute yes, not a workshop."

Watch the language. Words that land here include listing, showing, escrow, under contract, days on market, seller motivation.

[Company Name] / days on market
Body
Hi [First Name], This isn't a pitch dump. I want to walk through [one decision]. In Real Estate, that usually shows up as leads that go cold between showing and offer because nobody followed up like a human. If a live call is overkill, I can send a 6-bullet brief and you can mark it up. Restart the conversation they already joined without making them feel chased. Prefer async? I'll send the brief today. Best, [Your Name] [Your Title] [Your Company]
