First-time homebuyer guide email template

Buying a first home feels like too much at once, so this email cuts it into five steps in order, each with a time estimate. Seeing the whole path, and how short the first step is, makes starting feel easy.

Example subject line
Five steps from here to the keys

Start with pre-approval. Everything after that gets easier.

What's in this template

  1. Headline, keys photo, first-name greeting and a pre-approval button
  2. Step 1: pre-approval, with a time estimate and a lender link
  3. Steps 2 to 5: wish list, tour and offer, inspection, closing day
  4. Closing band with a door photo and a Get pre-approved button

When to use it

Open a new-buyer series with it, or send it alone as a guide from a mortgage broker or buyer's agent. Any process with a clear order works the same way, because a time estimate on each step calms nerves.

Make it yours

  • Set the time estimates to match how your own process really runs.
  • Point the lender link and both buttons at your pre-approval page.
  • Rewrite steps two to five with the steps your clients actually take.
