The non-negotiables
Recommended core CTA: “Get My 3 Best-Fit Options.” It makes Yovan’s judgment the value instead of making the builder’s brochure the value.
02 · Diagnosis
Why the current process creates ghosting
Low commitment
A Meta form can be completed in seconds. A registration signals curiosity, not readiness. Treat it as permission to begin—not proof they want a consultation.
The package ends the journey
If the brochure, price list and floor plans answer the surface question, the lead has no remaining reason to speak with you.
The CTA requires work
“When are you free?” makes the lead inspect a calendar and commit to a conversation with someone they do not know. “Home, investment or research?” takes one tap.
Agent sameness
Many agents send the same builder files. Your construction eye, cost awareness and willingness to say “do not buy this one” must appear before the attachment.
Specific website friction found
| Current element | Why it leaks conversion | Recommended change |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery form has 14 questions | Appropriate after engagement, heavy for a cold Meta click. | Use 4–6 questions first; progressively profile after a reply or call. |
| “No automated email sequence” | Reassuring, but it prevents useful confirmation and follow-up. | Change to: “No generic drip campaign. Yovan reviews every request; reminders and requested updates may be automated.” |
| “Personal reply within one business day” | Trustworthy but slow relative to the moment of intent. | During stated hours: “You will usually hear from Yovan within 5–15 minutes.” Set a truthful after-hours expectation. |
| Ungated price-list downloads | Good for trust and SEO, but weak as the principal conversion event. | Keep documents open; place “Ask Yovan which plan fits” beside them. |
| Multiple links immediately | Creates browsing, not conversation. | Send one recommended link only after learning the lead’s objective. |
03 · Conversion principles
The rules behind the system
1
Context beats polish
“You requested the 3-bedroom South Banks layouts” feels real. “Thanks for your interest” feels automated.
2
Questions beat links
A single easy question begins a two-way exchange. Five links invite silent browsing.
3
Specificity builds trust
Point out a genuine catch: parking eligibility, stairs, exposure, levy caps, usable room dimensions or total deposit timing.
4
Small commitments compound
Tap → reply → seven-minute call → 15-minute review → worksheet/showing. Do not ask a cold lead to jump directly to a major meeting.
5
Advice must precede pursuit
Each touch should help them decide, even if the advice is that the project is unsuitable.
6
Persistence needs relevance
Ten copies of “following up” are pressure. Ten distinct, useful reasons to respond are service.
Positioning sentence: “I do not simply forward builder brochures. I compare the layouts, numbers and trade-offs and tell you which options deserve a closer look—and which I would avoid.”
04 · Offers and CTAs
Sell the recommendation, not the brochure
| Lead intent | Offer | Button | Next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| Project-specific | Three best-fit units with Yovan’s plan notes | Get My 3 Best-Fit Options | Short form → call |
| Price-sensitive | Honest entry price including parking and mandatory costs | Calculate My Real Entry Cost | Budget choice → call |
| Investor | Rentability, carrying cost and resale-pool comparison | Request the Investor Read | Goal/timeframe → review |
| End user | Layout-efficiency and daily-living review | Find the Best Layout for Me | Household needs → call |
| Researcher | Pre-con vs resale comparison in the same budget | Compare Both Paths | Budget/area → shortlist |
| Seller/owner | Reno priorities and preliminary cost range | Get My Prep-to-Sell Plan | Property info → walkthrough |
Hero copy for pre-con landing pages
Before you choose a floor plan, compare what the price list leaves out.
Tell me your budget, preferred layout and purpose. I will identify up to three options worth reviewing and flag the trade-offs around parking, exposure, stairs, outdoor space, deposits and future resale.
Button: Get My 3 Best-Fit Options
CTA hierarchy
- Primary: personalized result—“Get My 3 Best-Fit Options.”
- Secondary: self-serve trust—“View Pricing & Floor Plans.”
- Urgent: transactional—“Request Availability / Allocation.”
- Low commitment: educational—“Compare Pre-con vs Resale.”
Use one primary CTA per screen. Secondary links may exist, but they should not compete visually.
05 · Funnel architecture
A progressive-commitment journey
| Stage | Lead’s question | Your job | Conversion event |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attention | “Is this relevant to me?” | Use a real decision, catch or opportunity—not generic luxury language. | Ad click |
| Interest | “Can I get useful details?” | Promise a tailored answer; explain what they receive. | Form submitted |
| Connection | “Is this person useful and safe?” | Call fast, name the context, ask permission for 3 questions. | Two-way conversation |
| Qualification | “Does this fit?” | Clarify purpose, timing, money, location, decision process and agent status. | Qualified next step |
| Recommendation | “What should I look at?” | Curate 1–3 options with reasons and risks. | Review appointment |
| Decision | “Should I act?” | Compare total cost, alternatives, documents and downside. | Showing, worksheet or representation |
| Nurture | “What if I’m not ready?” | Stay relevant at the cadence they choose. | Reactivation |
Routing principle: a researcher should not receive the same cadence as a launch-ready buyer. Capture intent early and change both message frequency and CTA accordingly.
06 · Ads and lead forms
Optimize for contactable people, not cheap names
Recommended Meta setup
- Use the Higher Intent instant-form type with a review step.
- Test website form versus instant form. Evaluate attended appointments, not form cost.
- Connect the CRM so outcome stages can be fed back to the advertising platform where supported.
- Use vertical 9:16 videos with Yovan speaking, captions and a safe-zone layout for Reels placements.
- Include the project name, city and realistic starting point in the creative to reduce accidental clicks.
- Do not manufacture urgency. Use verifiable scarcity, launch dates, allocation procedures and dated pricing.
Cold-lead form: maximum six fields
| Field | Choices | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Buying for | My home / Investment / Family / Research | Changes the conversation. |
| Layout | 1 / 1+D / 2 / 3+ | Enables relevant opening. |
| Comfortable range | Project-appropriate brackets / Need help | Prevents mismatched packages. |
| Timing | Now / 3 months / 6–12 months / Later | Controls urgency and cadence. |
| Best call window | Morning / Afternoon / Evening | Creates micro-consent. |
| Contact + consent | Name, phone, email; clear consent text | Allows contact and recordkeeping. |
Three ad angles to test
Angle A — The hidden catch
Headline: The $399,990 unit cannot have parking.
OG Urban Towns may still be excellent value—but only for the right buyer. I reviewed the price list and floor plans from a REALTOR® and contractor’s perspective. Request the honest entry-cost breakdown and the three plans I would compare first.
CTA: Get the Honest Breakdown
Angle B — Layout intelligence
Headline: Square footage does not tell you how a townhome lives.
Stairs, mechanical spaces, structural walls, exposure and furniture fit can change the value of two similarly sized plans. Tell me what you need and I will identify the layouts worth reviewing.
CTA: Find My Best Layout
Angle C — Pre-con versus resale
Headline: Before you commit to pre-construction, compare what the same budget buys today.
I will compare the deposit, carrying costs, occupancy timing and layout with relevant resale alternatives in your preferred area.
CTA: Compare Both Paths
07 · Confirmation page
Do not end with “check your email”
The confirmation page is the highest-attention moment after the form. Its only job is to secure the next small commitment.
Your request is in—one quick step remains.
I will review your answers and narrow this to the options that appear to fit you best. To avoid sending you irrelevant properties, choose a convenient time for a brief seven-minute call.
[ Call me this morning ] [ This afternoon ] [ This evening ]
[ Choose an exact time ]
No sales presentation. We will clarify your budget, preferred layout and whether this project is genuinely worth considering.
Required elements
Avoid: builder-logo-heavy confirmation pages, five unrelated projects, social-media icons, long biographies or immediate PDF downloads that pull attention away from booking.
08 · Speed-to-lead
A response service level you can actually run
Older lead-response research is frequently overstated online, but the durable operational lesson remains: contact probability decays quickly. Treat five minutes as your internal target, then measure your own results.
| When lead arrives | System action | Human action |
|---|---|---|
| Business hours | Create contact, tag source/project, alert Yovan and start response timer. | Call within 5 minutes where practical. |
| Yovan unavailable | Send acknowledgment that does not pretend to be live. | Call at next available moment; stay inside promised window. |
| Evening, before cutoff | Ask whether a brief call now is welcome. | Call only within permitted/published contact practices. |
| Overnight | Confirm receipt and offer morning/afternoon/evening buttons. | Place first call next permitted morning. |
Missed-call stack
- Call.
- Leave a 15–25 second voicemail.
- Send a context-rich SMS within two minutes.
- Send a short email within 15–30 minutes.
- Try a second call in a different time block the same day.
Phone-first does not mean phone-only. Calling creates a human connection; voicemail, SMS and email make the call recognizable and give the lead easier response options.
09 · Call playbook
Conversation before presentation
The opening: Context → curiosity → permission
Hi [Name], Yovan Gabric here with Royal LePage Pinnacle. You just requested information about [project/property] and mentioned you were considering [their answer].
What was it about this one that first caught your attention?
[Listen and acknowledge.]
If I ask you three quick questions, I can tell you whether this is worth a closer look and which information is actually relevant.
The seven-minute Fit Call
- Motivation: “What would this purchase need to accomplish for you?”
- Household/use: “Who would live there, and what needs to work day to day?”
- Location: “Is this exact community important, or are you open to nearby alternatives?”
- Money: “Have you set a comfortable purchase range and deposit amount?”
- Timing: “If the right option appeared, when could you realistically act?”
- Decision process: “Who else should be part of the review?”
- Representation: “Are you already committed to another REALTOR® for this purchase?”
Reflect before recommending
Let me make sure I have this right. You are looking for [use], ideally in [area], around [budget]. The important things are [top 2 criteria], and you would consider moving ahead [timing] if the numbers and layout make sense. Is that accurate?
Appointment close
Based on that, I see two options worth comparing—and one issue I would want you to understand before choosing. Let’s take 15 minutes and review the layouts, total cost and trade-offs together. Is later today or tomorrow better?
If they say “just send it”
Absolutely. I can send it now. So I send the right version, should I focus on the lowest entry price, the best layout for living, or the strongest investment case?
Assistant boundary
An unregistered assistant may handle administrative outreach within brokerage policy—confirm receipt, record preferences and schedule Yovan—but should not advise on suitability, negotiate, interpret agreements, recommend a property or perform activities that require registration. Use brokerage-approved scripts and supervision.
Hi [Name], this is Filip calling on behalf of Yovan Gabric at Royal LePage Pinnacle. I’m confirming that we received your request for [project] and helping schedule a short call with Yovan. Did the information reach you?
Would morning, afternoon or evening generally work best for Yovan to call?
I’m not a registered real estate salesperson, so Yovan will answer questions about pricing, suitability, availability and purchase decisions.

Old-lead reactivation: 3-message sequence
Message 1 — Relevance reset
Hi [Name], Yovan Gabric here. You had looked at pre-construction options with me previously. I’m reorganizing the updates I send so people receive only what is relevant. Are you currently more interested in: 1—pre-con, 2—resale opportunities, 3—investing, or 4—not looking now?
Message 2 — Value
Thanks. I’m seeing an important gap between advertised pricing and the real all-in cost on several projects. If you tell me your preferred area and budget, I’ll send a short comparison rather than another brochure.
Message 3 — Permission close
I don’t want to crowd your inbox. Should I keep you on a once-a-month opportunity update, contact you only when something matches [criterion], or close the request for now?
11 · Message library
Short messages that are easy to answer
Voicemail after first missed call
Hi [Name], it’s Yovan Gabric with Royal LePage Pinnacle. I’m calling about your request for [project]. I noticed you were considering [answer], and I have one quick question before I send the options. I’ll text you as well. My number is 416-953-9545.
SMS immediately after missed call
Hi [Name], Yovan Gabric here. I just called about your [project] request. Are you considering it mainly as: 1—a home, 2—an investment, or 3—just comparing? Reply with 1, 2 or 3 and I’ll send the most relevant information.
First email
Subject: [Name], one question before I send the [project] options
Hi [Name],
I received your request for [project]. Before I send a large package, I want to make sure the layouts and numbers actually apply to you.
Are you looking primarily for:
1 — A home for yourself
2 — An investment
3 — A comparison with other options
You can reply with just 1, 2 or 3. Once I know that, I’ll narrow it down and flag the options I believe deserve the closest look.
Yovan Gabric
REALTOR® | General Contractor

416-953-9545
Day 1 value text
One thing to watch at [project]: the lowest price is not automatically the best value. Layout efficiency, stairs, exposure, outdoor space, parking and resale pool can make a major difference. Would you like me to identify the best-value layout or the lowest-entry-price option?
Day 4 timing text
[Name], so I don’t keep sending information you don’t need, are you: A—ready if the right option appears, B—planning for later this year, or C—only researching right now?
Day 6 video intro
Hi [Name], I wanted to put a face to the name. I’m Yovan—a REALTOR® and general contractor. I reviewed [project] because [one specific observation]. If you send me the one thing you care about most—price, layout, location or investment potential—I’ll point you to the part worth reviewing.
Day 14 permission close
[Name], I haven’t been able to reach you and I don’t want to become another agent filling your inbox. Should I: 1—keep you updated on this project, 2—send better-priced alternatives, or 3—close your request for now? Any answer is completely fine.
Price change / launch update
Quick [project] update: [specific verified change]. This matters most to buyers looking for [relevant segment]. Are you still considering [layout/budget], or has your plan changed?
12 · Objection handling
Lower resistance; do not argue
| Lead says | Response | Goal |
|---|---|---|
| “I’m just looking.” | “That’s completely fine. At this stage, are you mainly learning prices, comparing locations or trying to understand pre-construction?” | Classify research intent. |
| “Just send me the information.” | “Absolutely. Should I focus on lowest price, best daily-living layout or investment potential?” | Earn one preference. |
| “I’m not ready.” | “Understood. Is the main issue timing, financing, deposit or uncertainty about the market?” | Identify the real barrier. |
| “I already have an agent.” | “Thanks for telling me. I don’t want to interfere with that relationship. Please have your agent obtain anything you need from the builder or listing source.” | Respect representation. |
| “Prices are too high.” | “That may be true for this project. Would it help to compare resale, a different home type, or a nearby area at the same total budget?” | Broaden solution. |
| “I need to talk to my spouse.” | “Of course. What question do you expect they will ask first? I can make sure you have a clear answer—or we can include them in a 15-minute review.” | Bring decision-maker in. |
| “Send prices.” | “I will. Do you want headline prices only, or the all-in view including parking, deposits and likely closing items?” | Differentiate advice. |

20 · Testing plan
Change one important variable at a time
| Test | Version A | Version B | Primary outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Offer | Get Price List | Get My 3 Best-Fit Options | Contact + booking rate |

Test discipline
- Write the hypothesis before launch.
- Keep targeting and budget stable where practical.
- Judge downstream outcomes, not click-through rate alone.
- Record dates, spend and material project changes.
- Do not declare a winner from a handful of leads; gather enough evidence for a business decision.
- Keep the winning control and test the next variable.
21 · Compliance guardrails
Build trust and records into the workflow
Important: This is an operational checklist, not legal advice. Confirm final wording and practices with Royal LePage Pinnacle and qualified compliance/legal guidance.
Electronic messages: CASL
- Record the exact consent language, source, date/time and form version.
- A response to a person’s specific request or inquiry may be treated differently from unrelated ongoing marketing; keep the follow-up tied to what they requested.
- For commercial electronic messages that require CASL compliance, include required sender identification, contact information and a working unsubscribe mechanism.
- Process unsubscribe requests promptly and suppress the address/number across applicable systems.
- Do not use a commercial email/text itself to obtain express consent unless you already have a lawful basis to send it.
Calls: telemarketing rules
- Distinguish a requested callback from cold telemarketing and document the request.
- Follow applicable CRTC Unsolicited Telecommunications Rules and National DNCL obligations, including internal do-not-call handling.
- Identify yourself, brokerage and purpose clearly.
- Use permitted calling hours and honour “do not call” immediately.
Ontario real estate
- Ensure online advertising clearly identifies required registrant and brokerage information.
- Do not imply guaranteed allocation, returns, appreciation, savings or availability.
- Date pricing and incentives; label estimates and artist concepts appropriately.
- Respect existing representation. Do not induce someone to breach an agreement.
- Keep unregistered assistants within administrative functions approved by the brokerage.
Form consent draft for brokerage review
By submitting this form, I request information about the selected real estate project or service and agree that Yovan Gabric and Royal LePage Pinnacle may contact me by telephone, email and text regarding this request and related real estate options. I understand I can withdraw consent or unsubscribe at any time. Contact information: [brokerage mailing address], [email], 416-953-9545.

Implement in the right order
Week 1 — Foundation
Week 2 — Funnel
Week 3 — Follow-up
Week 4 — Optimize
Minimum viable launch: if time is limited, implement immediate phone alerts, the new CTA, a six-question form, the first-call script, the missed-call stack and CRM next-action discipline. Those six changes create the core system.

- OG Urban Towns page: example of Yovan’s construction-led “hidden catch” positioning.
Evidence note: numerical “speed-to-lead” claims are frequently repeated without distinguishing the underlying studies. This playbook therefore uses a five-minute internal service target, but instructs Yovan to validate impact using his own response-time and conversion data.
