The Seller's Journey: Show Your Sellers Every Step Toward the Sale

From pricing to closing, keep your sellers informed with showings, feedback, offers, PropertyBoost ads and all the work you do behind the scenes.

Written by Yvonne Thomas

Why the Seller's Journey matters

Once the sign goes in the yard, your seller starts wondering. Is anyone looking? What are buyers saying? Is my agent doing anything? Most of the work you do to sell a home happens where your seller can't see it. When they can't see it, they start to doubt it.

The Seller's Journey changes that. From pricing the home and getting it ready to list, through showings, offers and closing, your seller gets a clear view of where things stand and everything you've done along the way.

Showings your seller can see

Showings are one of the biggest sources of stress for a seller, and one of the best chances for you to show your value. With the showings feature on a listing journey, your seller can see:

  • Who has shown the property

  • Whether feedback was requested after each showing

  • Whether feedback was received

And when a buyer's agent doesn't respond the first time and you have to follow up more than once, your seller sees that too. Instead of wondering why there's no feedback, they can see how persistently you chased it down.

You'll find Showings and Open houses on the Marketing tab of every selling journey. For step-by-step instructions, see Showings & Open Houses: Track Every Showing and the Feedback Behind It.

Let your showing software do the work

Using a showing service or electronic key system to manage showings? If that software offers a calendar integration, you can very likely send those showings to the Google or Microsoft 365 calendar you've connected to Rayse. From there, showings on your connected calendar file themselves on the listing's Marketing tab, with no double entry. Open houses scheduled through the MLS show up on their own too.

Tip: Make sure the showing appears on your calendar as a public (not private) event so Rayse can see it. Follow your brokerage policy and keep sensitive details out of event descriptions.

Market the listing with PropertyBoost

Through our partnership with PropertyBoost, Rayse agents can turn any listing into professional Facebook and Instagram ads in just minutes, with no design or technical skills required. Ads reach buyers across Newsfeeds, Reels and Stories, and a 7-day ad delivers 2,000+ local views on average. Leads come straight from the ad to your CRM, and about 10% of them are conversation-ready.

How it works in Rayse

  1. Open the selling journey and select the Marketing tab.

  2. In the PropertyBoost section, select Boost this property.

  3. Pick your template and budget at checkout. PropertyBoost builds the ad from the MLS listing and runs it.

  4. Watch Impressions, Clicks, Shares and Leads come back to the Marketing tab, so you can show your seller what the marketing did.

Before you boost: PropertyBoost identifies you by your MLS agent ID. If Rayse doesn't have yours on file yet, you'll see an MLS agent ID needed notice. Select Add your MLS agent ID to add it.

Build your ad your way

  • Ad options: Image or Motion

  • Boost types: Just Listed, Featured Listing, Open House, Price Reduced, Just Sold, Partner Boost

  • Templates: Classic, Modern, Agent Branded, Motion, Luxury

  • Branding: Agent Branded or Listing Focused

  • Duration: 3 days, 7 days, 3 weeks or 4 weeks

Tips for better results

  • Run both an Image and a Motion ad to maximize reach and capture attention.

  • Use more than one boost type per listing, such as Just Listed, then Open House, then Price Reduced, to keep the property fresh in the feed and reach different buyers at every stage.

  • Mix your templates so your ads stand out and don't blend into the scroll.

  • Pair branding with listings: use Agent Branded ads to build recognition and trust, then Listing Focused ads to spotlight the property.

  • Match the length to the goal: short boosts create urgency for events like open houses, and longer boosts build steady exposure over time.

What your seller sees

When your seller logs in, they're greeted by name and see:

  • A plain-language Where things stand summary

  • Key numbers: activities, buyer showings, offers, and days working together

  • A Showing Feedback summary, plus their showings and open houses

  • Their offers and each offer's status

  • A milestone-by-milestone recap of your work, from pricing the home and getting it ready to list to pre-listing due diligence and beyond

Your Seller's Journey training path

Step 1: Create the listing journey

Step 2: Bring your sellers in

Step 3: Welcome them home

Step 4: Capture showings and listing activity

Step 5: Work through offers to closing

Step 6: Show the value you delivered

Tip: A quiet week of showings is when your seller needs you most. Log every feedback request and follow-up, so even a slow week shows how hard you're working for them.
