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.

Starting the year off strong means reaching out to your SOI early—especially if you’re seeing a spike in real estate activity.
This text is designed to re-engage your network by asking a simple question to start the conversation.
Pro-tip: Personalize it to each client for even greater impact.
When all else fails, ask an easy-to-answer hypothetical question.
This text is designed to resurrect cold leads that you’ve been neglecting or that have been ignoring you.
This text is perfect for re-engaging cold leads because it combines timely, relevant market insights with a non-threatening, open-ended question. It piques curiosity by sharing valuable information (12% jump in applications and lower rates) while inviting a conversation about their situation. The conversational tone and calibrated question make it feel personal and approachable, increasing the likelihood of a response without sounding salesy.
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.

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.
