FSBO Outreach Script
Approach a for-sale-by-owner seller by being useful first.
Prompt preview
Write a phone call script with replies to 'I don't want to pay commission' and 'I already have buyers lined up' to Mr. Patel, who is selling 310 Cypress Road themselves at $480,000. What I can offer for free with no strings attached: - A printed list of recent sold comps - A buyer pre-approval checklist they can hand out Position me as a helpful local resource. The goal of this first contact is permission to follow up in two weeks, not a listing appointment. Respect their decision to sell on their own. Do not say they will fail or net less without an agent. I'm a licensed real estate agent. Sign off with my name, brokerage and phone number as placeholders: [Name], [Brokerage], [Phone]. Never promise a sale price, a closing date or investment returns, and keep every claim fair-housing compliant: describe the property, never the kind of person who should live there.
