There’s a good chance you’re part of the 90% percent of real estate agents who text their brokerages and their clients. After all, SMS is a fast, convenient channel. Real estate text message scripts can help you expedite client communications further.
What Are Real Estate Text Message Scripts?
Text message scripts, also known as SMS templates, are texts that you can use over and over. Ultimately, real estate text message scripts help you quickly answer homebuyer queries, especially FAQs.
Text message scripts also help you reach out to multiple homebuyers or agents. All you have to do is include custom fields in your script. Then choose a list of recipients and click “send.” Your business SMS platform automatically personalizes each outgoing message, using merge tokens to draw on agents’ or homebuyers’ custom fields.
We’ve compiled 10 examples of real estate text message scripts to help inspire a script library of your own. Feel free to adjust and use any of them.
