The 9pm portal lead everyone else answers tomorrow
You are helping me, a licensed real estate agent, write the first text message to a brand-new internet lead. Speed matters more than polish.
CONTEXT
- Lead: [FIRST NAME]
- Where they came from: [PORTAL, AD, OR SITE]
- What they inquired on: [ADDRESS, OR THE SEARCH CRITERIA THE FORM CAPTURED]
- Everything else the form gave me: [PRICE RANGE / TIMELINE / NOTES, or "nothing"]
- Local time right now: [TIME]
- Me: [NAME], [BROKERAGE], [CITY/AREA I ACTUALLY WORK]
WRITE
Three versions of one opening text, each under 320 characters.
RULES
- Lead with the specific property or search. The first six words must prove a human read their inquiry.
- Ask exactly one question they can answer in a few words. Not "how can I help?"
- Banned: "dream home," "just checking in," "I'd love to," stacked exclamation points, emoji unless I ask.
- Never claim information I have not given you - no off-market listings, no "I have a buyer," no price opinions.
- Identify me by name and brokerage in the first message and include a plain opt-out line.
- If it is after 8pm local, acknowledge the hour in one short clause, then get to the point.
- Describe the property or area using features, amenities, and verifiable facts only - square footage, schools by name, commute, parks. Never describe who lives in an area or what "type of person" it suits.
OUTPUT
Three labeled options, one line each on the angle, then the time I should follow up if there is no reply. - The lead's name, source, and the exact property or search they inquired on, copied out of the portal notification
- Whatever the form actually captured - price range, timeline, notes - which is often nothing
- Your name, brokerage, and the opt-out language your state requires on texts
