The Five Essential Real Estate Scripts
Krista outlines five specific scripts designed to enhance communication with buyers and sellers, each supported by practical examples and strategic reasoning.
1. Initiating Contact with Potential Clients
"Hey, [Name], I saw that you were checking out [Property/Area]. Do you have any specific questions about [Property/Area]?"
(00:13)
Purpose:
- Personalizes the message by using the client's name and referencing their specific interest.
- Avoids a pushy tone by offering assistance rather than pushing for a sale.
Key Points:
- Demonstrates knowledge of the client's interaction with a property.
- Encourages engagement without being overly aggressive.
2. Following Up with Buyers After Property Submissions
"Hey, [Name], that one might not be a good fit. Here are a few off-market properties."
Purpose:
- Maintains engagement by providing additional options when a particular property isn't suitable.
- Introduces off-market or "coming soon" properties to keep clients interested.
Key Points:
- Shows proactive effort in finding the right property for the buyer.
- Keeps communication lines open by continuously offering valuable options.
3. Post-Listing Appointment Follow-Up
Scenario A: If the Contract Isn’t Signed
"Hey [Name], do you feel confident moving forward or is there anything you'd like me to clear up so that we can move forward?"
Scenario B: If the Contract Is Signed
"Hey [Name], can't wait to work with you. So excited. Here's our next steps."
(Pro Tip before car ride: Personalized video text messaging mentioning something specific about the property.)
(00:52)

- Utilizes personalized video messages to add a personal touch and build rapport.
Key Points:

4. Sharing Local Neighborhood Updates
"Hey [Name], here is exactly what's happening right now in your local neighborhood. Active listings sold, etc."
Purpose:
- Positions the agent as a trusted local expert.
- Provides valuable, relevant information that clients care about.
Key Points:
- Keeps clients informed about their community, reinforcing the agent's role as a resource.
- Encourages clients to stay engaged and think of the agent first when considering buying or selling.
5. Requesting Referrals
"Hey [Name], if you feel comfortable with my services, if you knew of anybody who's thinking about buying or selling, would you mind making me an introduction?"
Purpose:
- Leverages satisfied clients to generate new leads.
- Maintains a respectful and non-intrusive approach by asking if they feel comfortable providing referrals.
Key Points:
- Simplifies the referral process by making a straightforward and polite request.

Strategic Communication Tips
Beyond the scripts, Krista shares key strategies to enhance client interactions:
- Personalization: Using clients' names and specific details about their interactions to create a personalized experience.
- Non-Pushy Approach: Offering assistance and value without coming across as aggressive or salesy.
- Leveraging Technology: Utilizing direct messages, video texts, and other digital tools to stay connected and responsive.
- Consistency: Staying top-of-mind by regularly communicating relevant information and updates.
- Value Addition: Focusing on what clients need and how the agent can assist, thereby positioning themselves as valuable partners.
Conclusion: Take Action and Transform Your Business
Krista wraps up the episode by encouraging listeners to implement the discussed scripts and strategies:
"These direct message strategies are going to help you get more sellers, get more buyers. Stay top of mind, not be forgotten. Make it simple. Not too salesy, not too pushy. Give them value. Help as much as you can without being that pushy guy and I guarantee you it will help."
(00:52)
She emphasizes the importance of being responsive and connecting through preferred communication channels, typically via phone and text:
"Think about you, what you do. Dance your phone. Not a lot, but you look at every single text message and if a buyer is serious or a seller is serious, they are looking at their phone. So reach out to them and connect with them the way that they like to be connected with."
(00:52)
Krista concludes with a call to action, inviting listeners to engage further:
"Hope you like this video. Watch the next one, let me know in the comments. Which DM strategy are you going to start using and which one works for you the best?"
