TOTW: Bad Timing Text

Introduction

Most agents think prospecting is about persistence—just make more calls, send more texts, and eventually, something will stick. But volume isn’t the problem. Relevance is.

The truth? Consumers aren’t ignoring you because they don’t want to sell. They’re hesitating because of the voice in their head:

  • Interest rates are still high.
  • The stock market is correcting.
  • The economy feels uncertain.
  • What if prices drop?

If you don’t address that voice, you’ll lose them before the conversation even starts.

That’s why this text works. It flips the script—acknowledging their hesitation up front, instead of pretending it doesn’t exist. It disarms, engages, and clears the path for real conversations.

It’s a simple shift, but it changes everything.

Hi (Insert Name), 

I know this is probably the wrong time but I’ve been talking to a lot of buyers who are very serious about buying in the next 90 days.


Would you be open to the idea of selling if you got a great offer?
