Your next loan is probably already in your phone. This kit helps you build your "100 people" list and reconnect — past clients, your military and base community, and the realtors who serve them — warmly, with zero pressure. Copy any message and send.

Segment 1 — Past Clients

They already trust you. Stay top of mind; referrals follow.

Past Clients

Who: anyone you've closed a loan for. Goal: stay in their life, not their inbox. Most referrals come from being remembered, not from asking.

4-touch email sequence
Email 1 · Just checking in

Subject: Thinking of you, [First Name] Hi [First Name] — no reason for this email except to say I hope you and the family are doing great in the new place. Helping you get into that home was one of my favorites. If you ever need anything — a referral for a contractor, a question about your loan, anything — I'm one text away. — Andrew

Email 2 · Home-iversary

Subject: Happy home-iversary! [First Name], can you believe it's been [X] year(s) since you got the keys? That day still makes me smile. No ask here — just celebrating you. If anything's changed and you ever want to look at your options down the road, you know where I am. — Andrew

Email 3 · Helpful, no ask

Subject: A couple things that might help Hi [First Name] — sharing two quick things homeowners ask me about: keeping your info handy in case rates ever shift, and how to think about home projects. No pressure, no pitch. Want me to take a look at anything for you? Just reply. — Andrew

Email 4 · The gentle referral

Subject: Quick favor (only if it feels right) [First Name], so much of my work comes from people like you trusting me with the folks they care about. If you know a veteran, a service member, or a friend nervous about buying, I'd be honored to take care of them the way I took care of you. No worries at all if no one comes to mind — just glad to know you. — Andrew

2 text-message variants
SMS A · Warm check-in

Hi [First Name], it's Andrew Cannon (your loan officer). No reason except to say hi and hope the house still feels like home! Always here if you need anything. Reply STOP to opt out.

SMS B · Light referral

Hey [First Name]! Andrew here. If anyone you know is thinking about buying — especially a vet or service member — I'd love to help them like I helped you. No pressure either way. Reply STOP to opt out.

Warm call / voicemail script
Call · 30 seconds, no agenda

"Hi [First Name], it's Andrew — your loan officer from CMS. No reason for the call except I was thinking about your family and wanted to say hi. I hope the house is treating you well. If you ever need anything at all, you've got my number. Take care — talk soon!"

If they say…
"We're not thinking about anything right now."
"Totally — I'm not calling to sell you anything. Just glad to stay in touch. I'm here whenever life changes."
"Rates are so high, why would I move?"
"You might not — and that's okay. But if PCS orders ever come, or you outgrow the place, I'm your person. No pressure, ever."
03

Segment 2 — Not Yet Ready

People who reached out but didn't close. Stay warm; timing changes.

Not Yet Ready / Didn't Close

Who: folks who inquired, got pre-qualified, or started but paused. Goal: be the person they come back to when the timing is finally right — without nagging.

4-touch email sequence
Email 1 · No-pressure reconnect

Subject: Still in your corner, [First Name] Hi [First Name] — we talked a while back about buying, and life got busy (it happens!). I just wanted you to know I'm still here whenever you're ready to pick it back up. No rush, no pressure. Just reply when the time feels right. — Andrew

Email 2 · Remove the fear

Subject: The part that stops most people [First Name], the #1 reason people pause is they think they're "not ready." Usually they're closer than they think — they just need a clear next step. Want me to take a fresh look at where you stand? No commitment, just clarity. — Andrew

Email 3 · Give value

Subject: A free guide that might help Hi [First Name] — I made a short, plain-language guide for buyers getting ready, with a section on VA loans and the benefits you've earned. It walks the whole path, one step at a time. Want me to send it over? Just say the word. — Andrew

Email 4 · Open door

Subject: Whenever you're ready [First Name], I'll keep this short: my door is open. Months from now or next week — when you want to talk about buying, I'll pick up right where we left off, no judgment. Take care of yourself, and thank you. — Andrew

2 text-message variants
SMS A · Soft reopen

Hi [First Name], it's Andrew from CMS Mortgage. No pressure at all — just checking in to say I'm still here whenever you want to revisit buying. Reply STOP to opt out.

Hey [First Name]! Andrew here. I have a free, plain-language buyer guide (with a VA loan section) that a lot of people found helpful. Want me to send it? No strings. Reply STOP to opt out.

Warm call / voicemail script
Call · gentle, low-key

"Hi [First Name], it's Andrew Cannon from CMS Mortgage. We chatted a while back about buying a home, and I just wanted to reconnect — no agenda. Whenever you're ready to look again, I'd love to help. No rush at all. Give me a call when it's a good time. Take care!"

If they say…
"My credit isn't good enough."
"That's exactly the kind of thing we can look at together — no judgment. Sometimes you're closer than you think, and if not, I'll help you build a plan."
"I still don't have a down payment saved."
"Let's talk — if you've served, a VA loan often means no down payment at all, and there are other low-down options too. Worth 10 minutes before you count yourself out."Subject to program eligibility
"Now's just not a good time."
"Completely understand. I'll check back down the road — and you've got my number the second anything changes."

Segment 3 — Military & Realtor Network

Your base community and the agents who serve military buyers.

Your Military & Realtor Network

Who: veterans, active-duty, and military spouses who know you but maybe not that you're a loan officer — plus the realtors who work with military buyers around the bases. Goal: let them know you're their VA-and-PCS person, naturally.

4-touch email sequence
Email 1 · "Here's what I do"

Subject: A little about what I actually do Hi [First Name] — you might not know this, but I help families here in Hampton Roads buy their homes as a loan officer with CMS Mortgage. A lot of my work is VA loans — helping veterans and active-duty folks use the benefit they earned — plus first-time buyers and PCS moves. If that's ever you, or someone you serve with, I'm here. — Andrew

Email 2 · Educate & serve

Subject: In case it helps someone you love [First Name] — so many service members and families think they can't buy a home when they actually can, and a lot of veterans never use the VA benefit they earned. If you know anyone renting who's wondered "could that be me?", send them my way. I'll explain everything in plain language. No pressure — just want to be useful. — Andrew

Email 3 · Free resource

Subject: Free guides for anyone curious about buying Hi [First Name] — I put together a few short, free guides for buyers (a VA loan guide, a first-time buyer guide, a PCS/relocation guide, and down-payment help). Feel free to share them with anyone who might be thinking about a home. Happy to walk anyone through them personally. — Andrew

Email 4 · Realtor partner note

Subject: A lender who knows VA and PCS timelines Hi [First Name] — I know you work with a lot of military buyers, and VA loans and PCS clocks have their own rhythm. That's my lane. I keep things clear for your clients and move fast so closings hit their report-by dates. If you ever want a lender who treats your buyers right, let's grab coffee. — Andrew

2 text-message variants
SMS A · Casual heads-up

Hey [First Name]! It's Andrew. Quick heads-up in case it's ever useful — I help families buy homes here in Hampton Roads, a lot of VA loans for veterans and active-duty (loan officer w/ CMS Mortgage). If you or anyone you serve with ever has questions, I'm here! Reply STOP to opt out.

SMS B · Share the guides

Hi [First Name]! Andrew here. I made some free home-buying guides — including a VA loan one and a PCS/relocation one. Feel free to share with anyone curious about buying. Happy to help them personally too. Reply STOP to opt out.

Warm call / voicemail script
Call · friendly, natural

"Hey [First Name], it's Andrew! Nothing big — I just realized you might not even know I help families buy homes now, as a loan officer here in Hampton Roads. A lot of it is VA loans for veterans and active-duty. So if you or anyone you serve with ever has a home question, big or small, I want to be your person. That's it! Give me a call sometime. Take care!"

If they say…
"I didn't know you did that!"
"Now you do! No pressure at all — I just want to be the person you think of if a home or VA-loan question ever comes up for you or someone you serve with."
"I don't really know anyone buying."
"No worries at all! Just keep me in mind — with PCS season, these things come up when you least expect it. Glad to stay connected either way."
