Agent Outreach
Text Script

The exact texts that turn a listing agent's "just make an offer" into the seller's payoff, rate, and walk-away number — before you write a single number down.

These aren't theory. This is the exact sequence a partner ran on a live listing last week. The agent opened with the standard brush-off — "please make a written offer." Four questions later we had the walk-away number, the payoff, and were tracking the rate and payment. That's the difference between guessing and qualifying.

How to run it

  1. Replace anything in gold with the real detail before you send.
  2. Send one message, get one answer, then send the next. Don't dump all five at once.
  3. The goal of the first thread is information, not an offer. You're qualifying the deal, not pitching it.
  4. If they won't share numbers, that tells you something too. Move on.

The Scripts

01The Opener
Introduces you, signals you buy creatively, and protects the agent's commission up front.
Hi [Agent name], this is [Your name]. I'm looking at your listing at [address]. I work with a group that purchases both traditionally and creatively. Would your seller be open to considering a creative structure if we could get the property sold and make sure you're paid?
02The Reframe
When they say "just make an offer," don't. Redirect to discovery so you're not writing blind.
Good morning [Agent name], absolutely. Before we put something together, just so we don't waste your time or your sellers' time, if they sold somewhere around the current asking price, do you have an idea of roughly how much they're expecting to walk away with?
03The Payoff
Walk-away plus payoff tells you your entry number instantly.
Got it, thank you. And do you happen to know approximately what they still owe on the mortgage?
04The Terms
Rate and payment tell you whether the existing debt is worth taking over at all.
Perfect. Do you happen to know what interest rate they have and roughly what their monthly mortgage payment is?
05The Close-Out
Keep it warm. You've got what you need to underwrite. Now go run the numbers.
Sounds good, thank you. I appreciate it — I'll take a look at everything and circle back shortly.

Remember: a low rate doesn't make a bad deal good. These scripts get you the numbers fast — but the deal still has to make sense on price, payment, cash needed, exit, and profit. Subject-to is the financing. It is never the deal.

The scripts are step one. Inside Deal Revival I show you how to run the full conversation, underwrite the deal, and structure the offer so it actually closes.
