Follow Up Online Inquiry seller

The Script

"Hi [Name], this is [Your Name] with [Brokerage]. You recently requested information about selling your home on [Address/Area]. I'd love to help you understand your options and what your home might be worth in today's market. When would be a good time to discuss your situation?"

Pro Tips

  • Reference their specific inquiry
  • Offer market information
  • Focus on their situation
  • Ask for appointment time

Objection Handling

Objection #1

"I'm not ready to sell yet"

Your Response

"I understand completely. Many homeowners like to know their options even when they're not quite ready. What would need to happen for you to consider selling? Sometimes it's helpful to understand the market value so you can plan for the future."

Objection #2

"I was just curious about value"

Your Response

"That's very smart to stay informed about your home's value. It's one of your biggest assets, so it makes sense to track its worth. I'd be happy to provide you with a detailed market analysis. Would you prefer I email it to you, or would you like to go over it briefly on the phone?"

Usage Guidelines
