Have you ever received a text message that was a waste of your time? How about one of those obnoxious group texts?

On this episode of Sage Flipping Secrets, Eric and Theresa walk through the data they send their buyers via text message. Theresa says she includes the following data via text message:

• The price.
• The number of bedrooms and bathrooms.
• The square footage of the property.
• The address.
• The call direct phone number for the lead contact person.

Don’t miss a great rapport building opportunity!

Once you’ve sold your first property using this text message method, don’t neglect a great follow up strategy! If you’ve followed Eric and Theresa’s advice, you’ve likely been contacted by multiple buyers for the property you just sold. Just because you can only sell the property to one buyer doesn’t mean you’ve wasted a touch point with the buyers who responded! Leverage the fact that those buyers who reached out were interested and receptive to your communication. Take this opportunity to follow up with those buyers and further build your rapport which will only serve to benefit your business in the long run. Find out how Eric and Theresa have used this strategy effectively by listening to this episode of Sage Flipping Secrets!
