The 4-touch cadence
Fill in the bracket, copy, send. Space them out — never blast.Hey [Agent Name]! Just came across your page and love how you take care of your buyers — especially [the first-timers / that family you just closed / your community posts]. I'm Melissa, a loan officer here in Northern Virginia; I work a lot with first-time buyers, conventional, and FHA. Just wanted to connect with good agents in town.
Fill: [Agent Name] + one specific, true detail you actually noticed. Generic = ignored.
Subject: A responsive Northern Virginia lender for your buyers Hi [Agent Name], Melissa Okrasinski here — loan officer and a leader at CMS Mortgage in Northern Virginia. I reached out on Instagram, but wanted to put a real face to the name. Most of my work is first-time buyers, conventional, and FHA — the buyers who need a lender who actually picks up the phone. I explain everything in plain language and protect your closing date like it's my own. I'm not asking you to drop anyone — just be the person you call when a deal needs a steady hand. Can I send you my one-pager? — Melissa · (703) 727-6727
Fill: [Agent Name]. Keep it short — agents skim.
Hey [Agent Name] — no ask here, just thought this might be useful. I put together some free, plain-language buyer guides (first-time buyer, conventional vs. FHA, down-payment help, and a get-ready credit-and-docs checklist). Feel free to share them with any buyer who's nervous or "not sure they can." Link: /melissa-okrasinski/guides/ — happy to walk any of your buyers through it personally.
Why it works: you gave them something useful before asking for anything. That's the whole game.
[Agent Name], I'd love to grab a quick coffee — 15 minutes, your spot or mine — on how I can make your next closing easier (and take the tricky buyers off your plate). No pitch, just two people who help families buy homes. What's a good week for you?
