“Hi [Name], this is [Agent]. I’m calling about your property on [Street]. I work with a lot of owners managing properties from a distance, and I wanted to ask - how has that been for you?”
“Hi [Name], quick question about your property on [Street] - is that something you’d ever consider selling if the timing and numbers made sense?”
“I’m not selling.”
“Totally understand. Most people I talk to say the same thing - until they see what it’s worth. Would it be helpful if I sent you a quick value snapshot?”
“Hey [Name], this is [Agent]. Reaching out about your property on [Street]. Happy to send a quick value snapshot if you ever want one.”
“Hi [Name], I work with a lot of homeowners who are starting to think about simplifying or downsizing. I was curious - has that crossed your mind at all?”
“Hi [Name], quick question - have you ever thought about moving to something easier to manage?”
“We love our home.”
“I hear that a lot. Most people don’t move because they dislike their home - they move because they want something that fits their next chapter better.”
“Hi [Name], if you ever want to see what downsizing options look like in today’s market, I can send a couple ideas over.”
“Hi [Name], I’m calling because a lot of homeowners in your area are sitting on more equity than they realize. Have you looked at what your home could sell for lately?”
“Quick question - if your home could sell for more than expected, would that change your plans at all?”
“Hi [Name], I can send a quick home value estimate if you’re curious. No pressure.”
“Hi [Name], I know situations with a home can get stressful sometimes. I’ve helped people navigate options when things get overwhelming - would it be okay if I shared a couple ideas?”
“Hey [Name], just wanted to follow up. If you ever want to talk through options, I’m here to help.”
“Hi [Name], I work with families who feel like they’ve outgrown their home. Has that been something you’ve experienced at all?”
“It’s too expensive to move.”
“A lot of families are surprised how much equity they have right now. Sometimes the move is more doable than it looks.”
“Hey [Name], it’s [Agent]. Just wanted to check in - how have you been? How’s the house treating you?”
“By the way, I’ve been putting together quick market updates for past clients. Want me to send yours over?”
