New listing announcements — email and text blast templates for buyer leads and sphere of influence
Showing confirmations — date, time, address, and agent contact details in a single expansion
Offer follow-up emails — status updates for buyers after submitting an offer
Under contract and closing updates — milestone messages from accepted offer to keys-in-hand
Open house invitations — property highlights, date, time, and RSVP link templates
