The One Skill That Makes Agents Unforgettable (And Nobody Teaches It)
Over the last 24 hours, I saw three different posts from three different elite copywriters… all saying the exact same thing. And it hit me: The best communicators, the ones who write, speak, and connect at a world-class level, consume a TON of fiction. TV. Movies. Novels. Not industry books. Not old scripts. Not dusty sales letters from 1981. Fiction. | ![]() |
Real estate is an emotional business. People don’t buy granite counters; they buy the feeling of hosting their first Christmas in a home they own.
They don’t list because of a CMA; they list because of the hope of a new chapter or the fear of missing the market.
And the agents who win? The agents who stand out in a world drowning in bland AI content? They’re the ones who can communicate emotional truth.
Fiction gives you reps in that department… It’s emotional weightlifting.
It teaches you:
⚡ How tension is built
🌟 How hope is created
🧍♂️ How characters (your clients) evolve
🥊 How to tell a story that punches someone in the chest
Good fiction pulls you in. Good agents do the same thing.
That’s why so much content out there feels flat, dull, or lifeless with no emotion, no story, no stakes. You can tell when something is written by someone who never studies storytelling.
When you’re relaxing this week, here’s a tiny assignment:
Watch a movie or a show, and pay attention to where you feel the strongest emotion.
Does something make you: |
Pause for a second and ask:
What did the writer do to make me feel that? Was it: |
That insight will do more for your real estate marketing than copying another “proven script” or “top producing email template.” Because the agents who master emotion are irreplaceable.💌
Anyone can send a drip campaign. Not everyone can write something people remember.
If your clients FEEL something when they hear from you, they will remember you,📝 they will trust you,🤝 refer you, 🔗 and they will hire you!
Whether you’re writing an offer letter, a new listing announcement, a social media post, your weekly newsletter, your first text back to a new lead 📲… Emotion wins. Story wins. Connection wins. And fiction, believe it or not, is one of the best coaches 🏆 you’ll ever have.
Enjoy your week! 🌞 And if you’ve got some downtime over the next weekend… study what makes you feel something.✨ There’s gold in that 💛.
