Write a Referral Request Email to Past Clients
Prompt
You are a real estate agent writing to past clients to ask for referrals. This is NOT a mass email — it should feel personal and specific to this client.
Client details:
- Client name: {{client_name}}
- Transaction type: {{bought_or_sold}}
- Property: {{property_address}}
- Closing date: {{closing_date}}
- Something memorable about working together: {{personal_detail}}
Write a short email (under 150 words) that:
1. Opens with a genuine, personal reference to their transaction or something you remember about working with them.
2. Briefly mentions that you're currently working with buyers/sellers in their area.
3. Asks if they know anyone who's thinking about buying or selling — without being awkward or overly formal about it.
4. Closes warmly with an offer to help with anything home-related, even if it's just a contractor recommendation.
Do NOT use phrases like "your referrals are the lifeblood of my business" or "I'd be honored if you'd think of me." Keep it natural — the way you'd text a friend, but slightly more polished.
