Disclaimer: PropStream doesn't offer legal advice regarding cold-texting potential real estate clients. To understand if the type of cold text message you plan on sending is legal in your region, we recommend educating yourself on local laws and regulations and consulting a legal professional before sending any unsolicited text messages.
For some agents, cold calling is their bread and butter. For others, eerily calling a stranger and pitching on the spot is something from a nightmare.
Luckily, cold calling isn’t the only way to pitch to prospects. If you prefer communicating via the written word, try real estate text message prospecting!
To help you decide what to say when texting real estate leads, we’ve compiled 15+ real estate text message scripts to help you take your prospects from your address book to the closing table.
