Text Scripts
This text works because it turns a simple follow-up into a high-response moment. Everyone who opened yesterday’s email is your prospecting list for this script.
The apology is the hook. It feels human, unscripted, and disarming.
Most agents close with low-status lines like “Let me know” or “Just following up.” Those phrases put you in a waiting position. High-status phrasing, the kind Mark Satterfield teaches, flips that dynamic. It shows confidence, direction, and leadership, exactly what clients want from an agent.
People love an apology
here's the thing is I will say this is the I'm sorry script is a killer killer
way to re-engage people who have let's say you miss an opportunity. So Sam
let's say you were part of my open house as an example.
script as a way to sort of bridge that gap for any old open house leads, but I'm not doing that mass marketing. I'm definitely doing that as a onetoone text.
Anyone who opened yesterday’s email is your prospecting list for this text. They’ve already shown interest - that’s all the qualification you need. This message is designed to follow up that signal in a way that feels personal, intentional, and low-pressure.
The key phrase here is: “The last time we talked you mentioned…”
Vanessa Van Edwards, a famous psychologist, teaches that this line immediately increases likability because it shows you listened and remembered. In real estate, being likable and competent builds trust quickly.
The hooks provided are simply examples, use the one that matches your actual past conversation with this person. The goal is to reference something specific, then end with an open, non-pushy question.
‍
This text is simple, sincere, and perfectly timed. Right now is the ideal moment to reach out to your 2025 clients with a quick message of genuine appreciation. These are the relationships that matter, and a small, thoughtful touch goes a long way.
The script is intentionally warm and straightforward. Use it as written, or personalize it with a detail from their move.Â
Pro-tip: Send this as a text or a 1:1 off-the-cuff video. It doesn’t need to be polished, authentic always beats produced.
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 message is designed to engage cold leads before the end of the year.Â

The #1 reason why won’t of your client won’t sell their current home is because they have a great interest rate. As rates drop, they become more open to the idea of making a move. Let’s take this opportunity to engage our SOI to find our next listing.
One of the fastest ways to generate listings from your SOI is to provide an unsoclicated CMA
Anytime a home sells, 2 or 3 people start thinking about making a move. There is no better opportunity to book a listing appointment than after a recent sale. This campaign requires a bit more legwork but will pay dividends.
Step 1: Analyze recent sales in your desired farm area.
Step 2: Identify notable sales that sold quickly and for a premium.
Step 3: Visit the home's Zillow page to see if their Zestimate was much lower than their actual sales price. You can do this by clicking on the Zestimate history.
Step 4: Build a call list of the closest 100 homes near that notable sale, using your title rep or PropStream.
Step 5: Print the list of prospective homeowners. On your call sheet, add a section for their Zestimate. Fill in their Zestimate and begin calling using this script:

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.

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?
