View PageEmail Drafting Notes
- The ag-exempt ranches post (August 17, just yesterday) is a strong lead for this Thursday's email. It targets land buyers and investors considering agricultural properties, a core segment for the team's Land and Ranch division. The wildlife tax valuation and ag exemption angles appeal to both newcomer and experienced rural buyers.
- The new-construction-vs-existing-homes post (August 13) is a natural second highlight. It feeds directly into the Forestbrook Estates new construction pipeline and works well paired with the existing new construction buying guide. Buyers debating new build versus resale are a high-intent audience.
- Two topic pages were updated this week: Hunting Land (updated August 17) and Acreage and Land (updated August 13). Mention these as "refreshed resources" for buyers. The hunting page connects to the Rocket Raceway / racing community connection, and the acreage page supports the growing land buyer interest.
