15+ Opening Lines That Get Daft.ie Landlords to Open Your Email

These proven opening lines get your Daft.ie email opened first. From professionals to students - copy these examples and get more responses.

Your First Line Makes or Breaks You

Important: Daft.ie removed subject lines in 2024. Your FIRST LINE of text is what landlords see in their inbox preview. They get 200+ emails and open maybe 20. Yours needs to stand out or it dies in the inbox.

The Formula for Great Opening Lines

Good opening lines include:

  • Who you are (professional, student, couple)
  • Why you're moving (new job, studying, relocating)
  • Specific property detail (location, type)
  • Personality (friendly tone, maybe emoji)

15+ Proven Opening Lines

  • "Software dev relocating to Dublin - your Rathmines apt looks perfect!"
  • "Just started at Google - love the location of your place"
  • "Nurse moving from Cork - your apartment ticks all my boxes"
  • "Young professional looking for long-term - your place is ideal"

For Students

What NOT to Write

Avoid these dead-on-arrival opening lines:

  • ❌ "Hi!"
  • ❌ "Your place looks great!"
  • ❌ "I'm interested in your property"
  • ❌ "Hi, I'm writing about your listing"
  • ❌ "I'd like to inquire about your rental"

Pro Tips

  • Be specific: Mention the area/street if you can
  • Show enthusiasm: "looks perfect" > "might be interested"
  • Keep it short: 50-70 characters ideal
  • Be honest: Don't say you're a student if you're not
