The Agent

  • Name: Eric Kidwell
  • Brokerage: Heart And Home Orlando
  • Location: Winter Garden, Florida
  • Specialty: Transitioned to a balanced business using direct mail

 

👋 Meet Eric Kidwell

By mailing postcards every month with Wise Pelican, Eric secured 12–15 listings annually, generated a 10:1 ROI, and built a nearly one-to-one postcard-to-listing ratio—turning direct mail into one of their most reliable and measurable sources of consistent seller leads over time.

Eric and his wife run Heart and Home Orlando, a husband-and-wife real estate team serving the greater Orlando area. While their YouTube presence continues to help attract motivated buyers, it was direct mail that helped shift their business toward sellers—bringing more balance, control, and long-term growth through steady outreach and targeted farming.

 

🧩 The Challenge

With most of their inbound leads coming from buyers, the Kidwells wanted to diversify and grow their listings pipeline. But getting seller leads consistently was tough, and like many agents, they didn’t know where to start.

They had heard about farming. They had heard about postcards. But until they committed to sending cards every month, it all felt abstract.

Four different real estate postcards. Featuring a variety of postcard templates.

“We did about 10, 12, 15 listings that we attribute to Wise Pelican. It’s sort of become a one-to-one for us.”

♟️ The Wise Pelican Strategy

The Kidwells built their postcard campaign with Wise Pelican’s automated tools, sending out monthly cards with clear, seller-focused messaging. Over time, the results became predictable: nearly a 1-to-1 postcard-to-listing ratio.

Whether it was a “Just Sold” or neighborhood-specific campaign, their brand stayed visible in mailboxes across Winter Garden. The process was simple to manage, easy to budget for, and became one of their most valuable tools.
