In fact, the number of text messages sent can easily outnumber the amount of phone calls that Realtors have to make in a single month.

With the advancement of technology and the increase in the use of text messaging, this can be an incredible way to attract more buyers.

It all begins with “THE SIGN”. This method begins by placing a “For Sale” sign in the yard of the property you’re trying to sell and giving the buyer the opportunity to text you for more details.

So the sign will say something like this: Gorgeous Home for Sale TEXT 12345 to 54321 For Details & Pics.

What happens when the buyer sends the text? As soon as the buyer sends the text, they get an immediate response. They get the major details and pictures that might peak their interest.

They will receive all the information that they need, including:

  • Number of Bedrooms

  • Number of Bathrooms

  • Price of the Home

  • Gas or Electric Heating

  • Picture of the Kitchen

  • Picture of the Fenced Backyard

  • Picture of the Fireplace

As well as your contact info.

As they scroll through their cell phone, they’ll be able to make a decision on whether or not they’re interested based on the details and pictures you placed in there for them.

The great thing about this method is that you will have their phone number when they text, you. So you can easily call them up and say, “Hey I was checking my messages and noticed you checked out my property on 123 Whatever Lane.

What did you think of the home?” Then they will tell you how they felt about it. At that point you can schedule an open house if they’re interested, or possibly even a negotiation will pursue.

Wouldn’t it make sense to add them to your buyer’s list and find them exactly what they want? Think about all the potential buyers you miss out on that just drive buy your home and don’t stop because they’re just not interested.
