Pre-Foreclosure Video Script

Introduction

Foreclosures are rising—here’s a video script to help you guide your clients.

The latest data from ATTOM reveals a 5% increase in foreclosure filings from the previous month, with 32,383 U.S. properties affected in February 2025. This uptick signals a shift in the market, and as a real estate professional, it's crucial to stay ahead.

Many homeowners don’t realize they have options before foreclosure happens. That’s where you come in. By recording and sharing this video, you can proactively educate your audience, position yourself as a trusted resource, and provide real solutions when they need them most.

This script is designed for you to easily record and post. It walks homeowners through:

Loan modification – Adjusting mortgage terms to make payments more manageable.
Forbearance – Temporarily pausing payments to regain financial stability.
Selling before foreclosure – Preserving equity and avoiding the foreclosure process.
Short sale – Selling the property for less than owed, with lender approval.

🎥 How to use this: Simply record yourself reading the script, personalize it with your insights, and upload it to your social platforms. To make it even easier, use the Canva template below as your video thumbnail to grab attention.

By sharing this message, you’re not just staying visible—you’re providing real value. And in a shifting market, that’s what sets top agents apart. Here’s the script to get started.

Before you get started

For best results with direct mail, you’ll want to have these core lists ready.

Before you send a text, make sure you have these three things in place:

Before you send an email, make sure these three things are in place:

This is your core mailing audience—used for general awareness and market education. Build your list using the following filters:

  • Homeowners who’ve owned for 10+ years
  • 50%+ equity
  • Areas with strong total commission opportunity (transaction volume × average price)

Start with 1,000 homes. Expand if it’s working. Need help pulling the list? Ask your title rep or use tools like PropStream or Breakthrough Broker.

Used for campaigns like Just Listed, Just Sold, Magic Buyer, or Pre-Appointment letters.You’ll need the ability to quickly pull 100–200 nearby homes around a specific property.

Used for targeted campaigns like Expired Listings, Silver Tsunami, and FSBOs.
Pull these from platforms like RedX or similar.

An Email Tool

You need a platform that lets you send mass emails to your database. Use what you have—FUB, Follow Up Boss, Mailchimp, KVCore, Constant Contact, etc. If you’re not set up yet, get that handled first. You can’t send if you can’t hit send.

2

Three Simple Lists

You need three lists:

Prospects

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

People you haven't done business with.

SOI/Past Clients

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

People you have.

Entire Database

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

All contacts.

These lists let you send smarter without overthinking.
3

A Plain Text Format

These emails are written to feel personal, not promotional—so keep them clean. Paste them as-is, with a short signature (your name, number, maybe your site). That’s it.

A CRM That Can Send Texts

Most modern CRMs can do this—Follow Up Boss, Lofty, Brivity, Real Geeks, etc. Use your CRM before buying anything new. You’ll want tracking, history, and batch-sending capabilities.

If you do need a mass texting tool, here’s what we recommend. But start with manual sends if you have to.

Three Simple Lists

Texting is for follow-up. And smart follow-up starts with the right filters.

Set up three lists:

Prospects

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

People you haven’t done business with.

SOI/Past Clients

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

People you have.

Entire Database

Recommended Audience For This Campaign

All contacts.

Apply two filters:

Engaged Recently

Opened an email or visited your site in the last 7 days.

Not Contacted Recently

No outreach in 30 days (for prospects) or 90 days (for clients).

That overlap—engaged but untouched—is your sweet spot. That’s who you text.

A Plain Text Format

These aren’t spam blasts. They’re timely, value-based follow-ups. Use their first name. Skip the signatures.

🚨 Missed Mortgage Payments? Here’s What You Need to Know Falling behind on your mortgage doesn’t have to mean foreclosure. Life happens—job loss, unexpected bills, rising costs. But the longer you wait, the fewer options you’ll have. Here’s the truth: lenders don’t want your home, they just want a solution. And you have more options than you think: ✔ Loan modification – Adjust your mortgage terms to make payments manageable. ✔ Forbearance – Temporarily pause payments while you get back on track. ✔ Sell before foreclosure – Protect your equity and avoid long-term damage to your credit. ✔ Short sale – Get lender approval to sell for less than you owe. If you’ve received a Notice of Default or Lis Pendens, don’t ignore it. Check your mail, call your lender, and know your numbers. The sooner you take action, the more choices you have. Not sure where to start? DM me—I’ll walk you through your options.
