Text Scripts
When buyers re-enter the market, it usually starts with curiosity.
Not bold moves—just a sense that the timing might be better.
This text leans into that energy with a useful offer at the right moment.
Even a small rate dip can reset the conversation.
Not just because affordability improves—but because buyers start to feel the difference. According to Redfin, a recent drop from 7.08% to 6.67% gave buyers with a $3K/month budget an extra $16,000 in purchasing power. That subtle shift can be enough to re-engage someone who’s been sitting on the sidelines.
This text uses a light touch to invite that kind of buyer back into the dialogue.
We’ve tested a lot of scripts—but this one works faster than most.
It’s simple. Personal. And rooted in real psychology.
This is the kind of question that reopens the conversation without feeling salesy… even for leads who’ve gone completely dark.
Here’s the 10-word text that’s driving replies right now:
Hi Tom—
Have you given up on trying to buy a home this year?
Give it a shot. You might be surprised how many people answer.
We created this text campaign to solve a common (and costly) problem: vague, low-performing follow-ups. You know the line—"Just following up…” It’s overused, easily ignored, and signals you don’t have anything new to offer.
This campaign flips that script.
We’re replacing generic follow-ups with a confident, curiosity-driven opener: “This might be worth a quick conversation but I could be wrong.”
It’s disarming, conversational, and gives the recipient permission to say no—while still inviting engagement.
From there, we position the message around active buyer demand and the idea of “just seeing if there’s a number you’d consider,” even if selling isn’t on their radar. It’s direct, low-pressure, and refreshingly honest.
The goal?
Spark conversations with homeowners who aren’t actively selling—but might be willing to consider an off-market deal for the right price.
More Canadian homeowners are tapping into their equity this year—driven by rising renewal volumes, increased HELOC usage, and a growing need to make smart financial decisions without giving up a low-rate mortgage.
That makes this the perfect time to bring back a strategy that’s worked exceptionally well: the unsolicited CMA.
Reach out to 5–10 people in your sphere or past clients with a quick, personalized equity update—no ask, no pressure, just timely insight.The text below helps you start the conversation—and positions you as the steady, informed guide they want in their corner.
$25 billion in equity was pulled last quarter—the highest Q1 total since 2008, according to ICE Mortgage Technology. And the average U.S. homeowner is now sitting on over $200K in tappable equity.
That makes this the perfect time to bring back a strategy that’s worked time and time again: the unsolicited CMA.
Reach out to 5–10 people in your sphere or past clients with a quick, personalized equity update.

Here’s how you generate more listings: Have more relevant conversations—consistently.
Most agents study the market daily. But few take that insight and share it directly with the people who care most: the homeowners in their sphere.
That’s what this text is for. It’s a simple 1:1 market update. Easy to digest. Personalized. Timely. And best of all—it gives you a natural reason to reach out at the start of each month.
Need a hook? Here are 5 ways to open the conversation:
- “I just saw 123 Main Street sold in your neighborhood.”
- “I noticed 123 Main Street had a price reduction recently.”
- “Looks like 3 homes near you hit the market last week.”
- “I saw inventory in your neighborhood is up 32% compared to this time last year.”
- “A home down the street just went under contract after sitting for 60 days.”
Each one flows naturally into: “Would it be helpful if I sent over a quick market update from May?”

You don’t need a perfect script. You need a reason to reach out.
This text gives you one.
It’s inspired by The $100M Email, reworked to feel personal—because it is. One-to-one. Low pressure. High relevance.
Here’s why it works:
- It frames the offer around them—not your listing pipeline.
- It normalizes the ask by referencing what “a lot of clients” are doing.
- It positions you as someone who helps, not sells.

Most check-ins feel random. This one doesn’t.
When the market starts to shift—even slightly—it gives you a natural reason to reach out, lead with value, and re-engage your sphere.
This text is short, timely, and built around curiosity.
You’re not pushing. You’re offering perspective.
And for someone who’s been watching from the sidelines, that quick snapshot might be exactly what they need to start thinking seriously again.
This text gives you an easy way to start the conversation with prospective buyers—without pressure, without a pitch.
It positions you as someone with access, someone in motion, someone worth knowing.
And if they say yes?
You’ve just turned a cold lead into a warm one—with permission to follow up when the right deal shows up.
Use this script to spark interest… and follow it up with the Circle Prospecting Phone Script to keep the momentum going.
This script works especially well after sending the Hypothetical Offer text—because it gives you a natural reason to follow up. You’re not just cold calling… you’re calling with context.
And if you do have a real buyer in hand, use that truthfully. It gives your outreach weight and urgency.
No buyer yet? No problem. You can still adapt the script to focus on potential interest or market activity.
Bottom line: only say you have a buyer if you actually do.
That’s rule #1 in marketing—don’t lie. Credibility compounds.
Use this call to open more doors, uncover hidden sellers, and stand out as the agent who’s willing to do the work most won’t.
The biggest mistake agents make with Open House follow-ups? Waiting too long to reach out.
Buyers move fast, and so should you. Following up the next day keeps the conversation fresh—while they still remember the home, their impressions, and most importantly, you.
This script is designed to feel natural, not scripted. It starts with permission (“Is now a bad time?”) and leans into curiosity (“What stood out to you?”). No pressure, no hard sell—just a real conversation that helps you understand where they are in the process.
If they loved the home, great. If not? Use this call to uncover what is a better fit and position yourself as the agent who listens.
Follow up early, ask the right questions, and turn Open House visitors into real clients.
This script shifts that belief. Instead of rehashing why their home didn’t sell, it focuses on what’s changed. More buyer activity. Homes like theirs moving again. A potential opportunity they didn’t realize existed.
By offering a simple, no-obligation home value update, you open the door to a fresh conversation—one that could lead to them reentering the market with you.
This script challenges that old way of thinking. It introduces a proactive, strategic approach—one that attracts the right buyers instead of waiting for them to show up. By positioning yourself as the agent who has a better plan, you immediately stand out from the crowd.
Use this script to spark curiosity and start a conversation that leads to action.
This script helps break through that hesitation. By offering a detailed market analysis—instead of a sales pitch—it gives sellers a way to understand what happened and what’s changed. Even if they’re not ready to relist today, this insight keeps you top of mind when they are.
Use this script to provide clarity, build trust, and make sure you’re the agent they turn to when they’re ready to move forward.

Let's get to work. 🚀
Way too many agents are waiting for people to raise their hand to say they want to sell.
As a result, they're not getting the opportunities they're looking for and they're not hitting the goals they want to hit.
The TMA strategy is so incredibly simple.
Every day, 2-3 times a day, choose someone from your database or someone in your SOI, take a screenshot of their home value on Properly, HouseSigma, or Ownerly, and send this exact text message.
That's it.
If you do 2-3 of these every day, that will turn into 2-3 conversations per day, which will likely lead to 1-2 listing appointments a week, which will likely lead to 2-3 listings a month.
That math just works.
This has got to be in your daily SOP.
The spring market might be the best time of year to touch base with your past clients.

Here's the text. ⬇️
This circle prospecting script landed Gretchen Coley a $3.4M listing opportunity.
Here's why it works:
1. Relevant, hyper-local market data that gives a reason to reach out.
2. Incorporating the "Bandwagon Effect"—a psychological principle that argues that we're more likely to do things if we know that other people are already doing it.
3. Excellent use of the magic words "One more thing…" with a CMA offer even if they aren't thinking about selling.
Next time you discover a local market trend that prospective sellers need to know about, try this script.
Every time you sell a home, it's an opportunity to circle prospect around the neighborhood and execute what we call the Value-Based Voicemail strategy.
The strategy is simple—
1. Give them valuable information about the sale that they might not find online.
2. Ask them if they know of anyone who's thinking about selling, to have them give you a call.
This exact script landed Connie Carlson another listing opportunity just after she sold her listing $40K over the asking price.
Let's be honest—sometimes it can be easier to call your colleague's past client list than it is to call your own.
So why not switch it up?
Using the Buddy System CMA strategy, swap lists with a colleague.
Here's the exact script you can use.
This is a tactic we like to call The Matchmaker Strategy.
Here's how it works:
1. After you sell a property, call your buyer leads using the first script.
2. Then, after you call your buyer leads, call homeowners in the area using the next script.
It's that simple.
Try it and see if it works for you.
Don’t wait until you secure the listing to start building relationships with the neighbors.
Here’s a technique to implement as soon as you book the listing appointment:
1. Build a list of nearby homes using a tool like Propstream.
2. Enrich the list with contact information (skip tracing).
3. Use the following script to make calls and send personalized emails.
If the first time the neighbors hear from you is when you’ve sold the home, you’re missing valuable opportunities.
By consistently engaging with neighbors at each stage of the listing process, you’re doing more than selling a home—you’re building your listing pipeline.
This strategy can effectively transform one listing opportunity into two or three additional ones.
Asking for referrals can feel hard.
This script reframes the typical referral script.
The phrase "One more thing" are magic words that you can slide into the end of a conversation with your client.
From there, make a genuine offer to help someone in their network.
Try it out. ⬇️
One of the ways you can find hidden sellers is by using the right script when you call your buyer leads.
Now, when most agents call their buyer leads, they ask, "Do you have a home to sell?" in hopes of getting the listing appointment.
The problem? Most consumers will immediately put up a wall.
Because they're contacting you to schedule a showing, to try to find a home—most of them don't want to talk about putting their home up for sale just yet.
So here's what to do instead:
Instead of asking that question at the beginning of the conversation, use the following script after you book the appointment.
This simple swap will lead to significantly better results.
Almost everyone has a prediction on where they think the market is headed.
And it's a really interesting angle for engaging 1-to-1 with your SOI: What do they think is going to happen with the market?
This 3-part text script is an opportunity to find people who are thinking about selling, but who haven't yet raised their hand.
Here's how to start the conversation. ⬇️
Chris Voss talks about a negotiation technique he calls an Accusation Audit. It's an preemptive approach that defuses any negative thoughts the other side might be thinking by proactively addressing them.
So for this strategy, by framing a hypothetical question with, "I know this is a bit of a crazy question," you create a safe space to have an open dialogue and explore with your prospect.
Here's the script you can copy/paste.
