Open houses are a lot of work, but not without benefits! From an idea to the actual event, hosting an open house is often worth the work. But success after an open house requires a little bit of effort on your end. That’s where text message scripts come in.
Open house follow-up texts can help any real estate agent keep in touch with potential clients, even those “just looking.” If you want to start a conversation with more people, check out our list of the perfect follow-up texts to send after an open house.
Why should you follow up after an open house?
Following up after an open house is key to being the person future buyers or sellers think of when they’re ready to take the next steps. It’s hard to be the one they have in mind if you aren’t always at the forefront!
Benefits of using text to follow up
If you don’t already have a contact list, hosting an open house and following up with attendees can help you build a list of future clients.
Some people who attend open houses may be at the beginning stages of the home buying process and are curious to know how it works. By following up and being there to answer their questions, the more likely it is they’ll use your services.
Texting is something most people do every day, making it an easy way to connect and follow up with leads. It can foster an open and communicative relationship without the formalities that other follow-up methods may come with.
