For real estate agents
Not every motivated seller should sell to an investor, and the ones who should not are your listings.
The opportunity most investors ignore
A meaningful share of these owners have real equity and no particular urgency — they replied because the subject was on their minds. An investor discards those as unmotivated; for an agent they are exactly the conversation worth having.
You are also reaching them before they have spoken to anyone, which is a considerably better position than competing at a listing appointment.
Be straight about what you are
These owners were contacted by someone buying houses. Opening a call by being clear that you are an agent, and that listing may net them more, is both the honest move and the one that distinguishes you from every other call.
Questions people ask
Are these sellers expecting an agent to call?
No — the message they replied to was about buying the property. Being upfront about the difference in the first sentence is what makes the call work.
Can I use these for listing appointments?
Yes. Owners with equity and no deadline are frequently better served by a listing than by a cash offer, and telling them so tends to be well received.
