What should I never say in a Real Estate thank you?

Don't joke about 'winning the deal.' It sounds like a seminar. Treating employees like a funnel or joking about culture. Don't dump a calendar link as the first follow-up unless they asked. Those three mistakes show up constantly in Real Estate inboxes and they all read as "this was templated."

Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.
