Text Scripts
This script works because it delivers value first. Instead of pushing them to relist, it offers a Professional Listing Review—a no-obligation analysis that pinpoints why their home didn’t sell and how to fix it. That kind of insight builds trust, creates curiosity, and makes it easier for sellers to take the next step.
Use this script to shift the conversation from frustration to solutions—and put yourself in position to win the listing.
This script sparks curiosity by sharing a real success story. Instead of talking about failure, it paints a picture of possibility—proving that with the right approach, their home can sell. When sellers see what worked for someone else, they naturally start wondering: Could this work for me too?
Use this script to plant that seed and position yourself as the solution they’ve been looking for.
This script helps homeowners see the bigger picture. It steers the conversation away from just dropping the price and instead focuses on positioning their home the right way. When you introduce a fresh perspective, you shift their mindset—and that’s when they start seeing you as the agent who can get the job done.
Use this script to guide the conversation and establish yourself as the expert they need.
This script changes the approach. It validates their frustration and shifts the conversation from what went wrong to how to make it right. Instead of pushing, it opens the door to a real dialogue—one that positions you as the agent who actually understands their challenges.
Use this script to disarm objections, build trust, and start conversations that lead to listings.
Most FSBO sellers write their listing descriptions like a checklist—bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage. But buyers don’t connect with stats. They connect with stories.
A home isn’t just a structure. It’s where life happens. The right description doesn’t just inform—it makes buyers picture themselves living there. And yet, most FSBO listings fall flat, blending into the sea of generic homes online.
By guiding sellers to craft a description that sparks emotion, highlights key features, and makes their home stand out, you’re giving them a serious edge in the market.
Most FSBO sellers assume if their home is priced right, buyers will come. But the truth? Buyers don’t just shop with logic—they shop with emotion. And nothing triggers emotion faster than great photos.
Bad lighting, missing key shots, or too few images can make even a well-priced home invisible in a crowded market. The problem? FSBO sellers don’t always know what’s turning buyers away.
By offering strategic photo tips—simple fixes with big impact—you’re helping them attract more buyers without spending a dime. No pressure, no sales pitch—just real advice that makes their listing stronger.
Most FSBO sellers don’t fail because they lack effort. They fail because they don’t have the right data.
They think selling solo means more control—but without access to real market insights, they’re often guessing on price. Many can’t afford an appraisal, and online estimates? Inaccurate at best, misleading at worst. The result? Overpricing that scares buyers away or underpricing that leaves money on the table.
By offering a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA), you’re giving them something they don’t have—real data on what homes are actually selling for. No pressure, no pitch—just valuable insights to help them make informed decisions. Lead with this, and you won’t just start a conversation. You’ll earn their trust.
The #1 reason why your clients won't sell their current home might be because they have a great interest rate. But as rates drop, they might be more open to the idea of making a move.
Let's take the opportunity of rates dropping below 7% to engage your SOI and find your next listing.
When it comes to re-engaging leads, the right question can make all the difference. Pair that with a relevant data point (in this case, off-market listings) and you have a powerful combination to start a conversation. The source of this data point is from BatchService and surfaced by Lance Lambert, co-founder of ResiClub:
According to an analysis by BatchService, approximately 1.2 million U.S. home sales in 2024 were conducted off-market. Given that the National Association of Realtors reported about 5 million existing-home sales in 2024, this suggests that roughly 24% of home sales occurred off-market.
“Has anyone ever walked you through…” is a great example. It positions you as a knowledgeable expert while keeping the tone soft and approachable.
Engaging cold leads requires a concise, curiosity-driven approach that’s authentic and non-intrusive.
If you’re working with qualified buyers but struggling to find the right homes, you’re not stuck—you’re set up for a Magic Buyer strategy.
Here’s a 1:1 text script you can send that not only positions yourself as the agent who goes the extra mile for your clients, but could also uncover off-market opportunities.
This text uses a timely market update to spark curiosity, referencing a rise in new listings.
Localize the data—make it specific to your market so it feels more relevant and demonstrates your expertise.
By asking a simple, low-pressure question, you’ll spark engagement and create a natural opening to reconnect with leads who might be ready to explore their options.

Gratitude isn’t just a feel-good sentiment; it’s a powerful psychological tool. When you express genuine appreciation, it activates positive emotions in your clients, strengthening trust and deepening relationships. Studies show that gratitude fosters reciprocity—clients are more likely to stay loyal, refer others, and feel good about their decision to work with you. It’s a small gesture with a big impact on both personal and professional connections.
What’s stopping your prospective clients from making a move? High-interest rates?
For many, it’s the only thing holding them back.
In fact, sellers are seven times more likely to list their home in a 5% interest rate environment compared to 6%.
That’s why this script is so effective.

Many homeowners are feeling the weight of today's economic uncertainties. With concerns about rising prices and financial stability, understanding one's home equity becomes crucial. This script is crafted for personalized, one-on-one outreach to prospects, offering them clarity amidst the financial fog.
By proactively addressing these economic concerns, you position yourself as a knowledgeable and trustworthy advisor, ready to guide clients through uncertain times.
Direct questions make people hesitate. Strategic statements make them lean in.
This campaign is built around the Elicitation Tactic—a psychology-backed approach where, instead of asking, you suggest. It’s subtle, but powerful. Because when people aren’t being pushed, they’re more likely to engage.
You’re not asking, “Would you sell?” You’re planting a thought:
“Wondering if there’s a number that would make the conversation worth having—even if selling wasn’t your plan for this year.”
It’s non-threatening. Emotionally intelligent. And perfect for sellers who aren’t raising their hand—but might be open, given the right offer.
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.
Most follow-up texts fail because they feel like a sales pitch. This one works because it does the opposite—it gives the lead control.
“Should I contact you if…” is a powerful phrase. It shifts the conversation from pushing a sale to seeking permission. And that matters because people are more likely to engage when they feel like they’re choosing to.
But here’s the key: make it feel local. If they toured a home in [Neighborhood], reference it. If there are similar listings coming soon, hint at them. The goal isn’t just to follow up—it’s to keep the conversation open and position yourself as the agent they want to hear from.
Use this text to re-engage buyers without sounding pushy.
Most agents only reach out when someone raises their hand to buy or sell. That’s a mistake. The key to long-term business? Staying relevant before they need you. Homeowners are naturally curious about the market—especially their home’s value—but they rarely take the initiative to ask. This script taps into that curiosity using a simple yet effective double-text technique—one message to spark interest, followed by a quick follow-up to prompt action. It’s an easy way to stay in front of your sphere without feeling pushy.
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.

In times of uncertainty, your past clients aren’t just looking for market updates—they’re looking for reassurance. The recent news around U.S./Canada tariffs and economic shifts has left many wondering what it all means for them.
This is a great moment to check in, not to sell, but to show you’re there as a trusted resource. A simple, open-ended question like “How are you feeling about the market right now?” invites conversation and reminds them you’re paying attention—so they don’t have to navigate it alone.
Here’s how to reach out in a way that feels natural and valuable.
Mortgage demand just jumped 20% in a single week. That’s not just a number—it’s a reason to reach out.
Buyers are watching rates closely, and with more of them jumping back into the market, competition is heating up. This shift could mean stronger offers and better opportunities for sellers—but only for those who are paying attention.
Now is the perfect time to check in with prospects and spark a conversation. A simple, easy-to-answer question like “Have you been keeping an eye on the market?” can open the door to a meaningful discussion.

Most FSBO sellers screen calls from unknown numbers—especially from agents. If they didn’t pick up, it’s not necessarily a “no.” It just means they don’t know why they should talk to you yet.
This text is short, direct, and creates curiosity. Instead of sounding like another agent trying to “win the listing,” you’re positioning yourself as someone with genuine interest in their home. No sales pitch, just a reason for them to call you back.
The goal? Get them to engage. Once they respond, you can shift the conversation toward value—helping them, not selling them.
Once you get them on the phone, use 1 of these 3 call scripts:
- FSBO Pricing Call Script
- FSBO Photos Call Script
- FSBO Listing Description Call Script
