Text Scripts
The Deal of the Week strategy needs to be added to your weekly marketing SOPs.
It's simple, repeatable, and highly effective.
Brad McCallum sent a Deal of the Week email and got 20 replies.
But here's the thing...
This email is just the beginning.
Repurpose your Deal of the Week into an IG poll and an SOI text.
This is how you can take a winning marketing campaign and maximize the impact.
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.
Send this to 5 of your clients in your database this afternoon.
Proactively sending CMAs is a killer strategy.
It's exactly what Ken Pozek and his team did to generate $80,000 in commission.
Here's the data he shared:
- 30 CMAs
- 12 Appointments Booked
- 5 Listings (all closed)
- 6 Deals in total (1 doubled-ended)
Here's the exact script his team used when they reached out to their SOI with their CMA.
Imagine if you started executing 5 of these a week?
You've probably got a database full of clients who are never going to sell their house.
Because if they were to buy their same house again today, their mortgage payment would be more than double.
It makes sense why you might think that there isn't much value in staying in touch with these folks…
But that would be short-sighted.
Happy clients are your best referral sources.
Try this text message instead.
How do you generate more listings?
Have more conversations.
Here's how:
Professional agents study the market daily, but most don't do anything with that insight unless asked.
Here's what I want you to do:
The next time you review recent sales, text someone in your SOI who lives near that property.
This is a 1 to 1 market update that is…
Easy to digest.
Personalized.
Relevant.
When you get a response, provide them with all the information about the sale and offer a free home valuation report.
Start doing 5 of these a day and watch the magic happen. 🚀
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?
Use it to book your next appointment. Send this text to 50 prospects today.
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.
When rates move, buyers move. And right now, rates just hit their lowest point since October 2024.
This is fuel for real conversations with your database. You’re delivering timely, relevant information that matters to them.
The power of this script is in its simplicity: ending with, “If they drop again, do you want me to let you know right away?” That “right away” isn’t filler - it’s a calibrated offer. If they say yes, you’ve just surfaced intent in real time.
This script gives you a fast, natural way to reconnect with leads, position yourself as the market expert, and uncover buyers ready to take the next step.
