The Script

"Hi [Name], this is [Your Name] with [Brokerage]. I noticed your home on [Street] came off the market recently. I specialize in helping homeowners who've had that experience, and I have some insights that might be valuable for you. My number is [phone number]. I'll try you again later, but feel free to call me back if you'd like to discuss your options. Again, that's [Your Name] at [phone number]."

Pro Tips

  • Keep it under 30 seconds
  • Mention the specific property
  • Offer value, not sales pitch
  • Repeat your name and number clearly

Usage Guidelines

• Practice first: Read through the script several times before using it with prospects

• Personalize: Adapt the language to match your speaking style and local market

• Stay natural: Don't sound robotic - use the script as a framework, not a word-for-word script

• Handle objections: Be prepared with the responses provided, but be ready to adapt

• Track results: Note what works and doesn't work to improve your delivery

Great script. But what if leads called you first?

Cold calling converts at 1-3%. Inbound leads convert at 15-25%. See how agents are flipping the script.

Adaptation Tips

For Different Markets

Adjust the script language and approach based on your local market conditions, average home prices, and cultural norms. Use local real estate terminology and reference familiar landmarks or neighborhoods.

For Your Personality

Modify the tone and word choices to match your natural speaking style. If you're more formal or casual, adjust accordingly. The key is to sound authentic while hitting the main talking points.

For Different Scenarios

Adapt the opening and questions based on the specific situation - warm lead vs. cold call, time since their inquiry, previous conversations, or referral source. Personalize whenever possible.
