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’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.
This text is designed for everyone who opened your last email but didn’t respond.
It feels personal, conversational, and creates an easy opening for a reply without pressure.
Use it to re-engage homeowners who are sitting on the fence. It combines empathy about uncertainty with a soft offer of insight about what is actually selling right now.
This text works because it’s built on two simple but powerful psychological triggers: social proof and likability.
The opening line - “It seems like every week lately I hear from someone…” - taps into social proof, the idea that people look to others’ behavior to guide their own decisions. It lowers resistance by showing that change is normal right now, not risky.
Then comes likability, one of the most studied principles in persuasion. As Vanessa Van Edwards teaches, people are far more likely to respond to someone who makes them feel seen and valued. “Made me think of you” does exactly that - it’s warm, personal, and human.
The question at the end is strategic too. You’re not asking something abstract, you’re asking what they already know. That’s how you start more conversations that actually go somewhere.
Two years ago, rates were 7.91%. Now, they’re flirting with the fives.
Five isn’t just another number, it’s the magic number.
When rates are in the sixes, only 6% of prospective sellers think about selling. In the 5’s, that number jumps to 35%.
So what can you do with this information?

This time of year is perfect for a soft, strategic touchpoint.
As the year winds down, homeowners start thinking about what’s next - new goals, new plans, maybe even a move in 2025. That’s your cue to step in with something valuable: a personalized home value report.
Sure, you could blast it out to your whole list. But a smarter move is to focus on the people who opened yesterday’s email. That subject line did the qualifying for you. If they opened, they’re curious, and this text is your natural next step.
Rates just gave you the perfect reason to text.
With the daily average dipping to around 6.17% (the lowest we’ve seen in nearly three years) buyers are waking up again.
This text builds on that moment - with a home value angle. Send it to everyone who opened yesterday’s email.
This text is built to start conversations, especially with buyers who are curious but not yet committed. Everyone who opened yesterday’s email is your prospecting list for this one.
They’ve already shown interest by engaging with your email, so this is your chance to follow up while the curiosity’s still warm. The script works because it lowers defenses fast (“I know this is probably the wrong time”) and follows with a soft, natural ask (“out of curiosity…”).
It’s simple, disarming, and designed to get a reply.
Everyone who opened yesterday’s email is showing you something important: curiosity. They’re paying attention. That’s your prospecting list for today.
Reference the email as a relevant opening, then ask a question that’s easy to answer: “What’s one feature your current home is missing that your next one has to have?”
One of the secrets we’ve learned for effective outreach? Ask a question they already know the answer to.
Time to start more conversations.
This text is short on purpose, just one line. Have you given up on trying to buy a home this year? It’s straight out of Chris Voss’ playbook. By framing the question negatively, you lower defenses and invite an honest response. People are more likely to correct you (“No, I haven’t given up…”) than agree, which gets the conversation moving.
Send this to everyone who opened yesterday’s email and watch how many conversations you start.
This is where yesterday's email and this text strategy really comes together. Yesterday’s subject line did the heavy lifting: it got people to reveal themselves. They opened because they were curious what happens if rates drop. That’s intent. That’s interest. That’s how you qualify through copy.
Now you follow up with a simple, targeted text. Lead with real proof: you just helped a buyer lock in a lower rate. That’s news worth sharing. Then extend a clear, personal offer: “Want to see what your monthly payment would look like at [%]?”
It’s short. It’s direct. And it keeps the conversation moving forward with the people who already raised their hand.

Now you follow up with a simple, targeted text. Lead with real proof: you just helped a buyer lock in a lower rate. That’s news worth sharing. Then extend a clear, personal offer: “Want to see what your monthly payment would look like at 6%?”
It’s short. It’s direct. And it keeps the conversation moving forward with the people who already raised their hand.
This one’s built for your SOI and past clients.
It’s a simple check-in without any agenda.
You lead with “I know you’re not in the market” which instantly lowers their guard. Then you layer in “I thought of you,” which, as Vanessa Van Edwards teaches, boosts likeability and connection.
From there, pick one of the hooks based on what’s happening near them:
• …just got listed and I thought of you. What do you think of the list price?
• …just had a price reduction and I thought of you. What do you think of the new price?
• …just sold and I thought of you. Did you see the final sale price?
It’s casual, relevant, and easy to respond to, which is exactly what keeps the conversation (and relationship) going.

Don’t text your whole list. Text the people who already raised a hand.
Everyone who opened yesterday’s email told you they’re paying attention- treat them like it.
This follow-up is simple on purpose. Lead with a direct reason you’re reaching out (“busy fall, lots of questions coming in”), then ask a clear multiple-choice question that’s effortless to answer. Short taps, fast signal. You’ll learn what matters - next home, payment, price, or something else - and you’ll know who to call first.
This is precision over volume. Send this only to yesterday’s openers, and watch who leans in.
This is where the follow-up magic happens. Yesterday’s email set the stage - it framed the rate drop and got homeowners leaning in. Today, you’re doubling down by sending this text to everyone who opened that email.
The structure is intentional: start with a relevant reason to reach out (buyers responding to lower rates), acknowledge the real fear of selling (it can feel overwhelming), and then lower the barrier with a multiple-choice question. That format makes it simple for homeowners to engage without overthinking.
And the close - “Maybe I can help” - keeps it human, conversational, and approachable.
