How to Follow Up With a Seller Lead in the First Five Minutes

Speed to lead is the single biggest lever most investors ignore. A seller who just raised their hand is thinking about their house right now — in an hour, they’re thinking about dinner.

The five-minute routine

Call inside five minutes. Leave a short voicemail if they don’t pick up.
Send a text straight after: your name, why you’re calling, and a question they can answer in one word.
Log the attempt in your CRM so nobody on the team doubles up.
Try again at a different time of day before the end of the day.

What to say first

Lead with what you already know from the lead details. “I see you’re looking to sell the house on Main Street because of repairs — is that still the case?” beats any generic opener.

Frequently asked questions

What is a motivated seller lead?

A homeowner who has asked to sell, usually because of a life event, repairs or a property they no longer want. We qualify each one for reason, timeframe, condition and MLS status.

Are the leads shared with other buyers?

No. Every lead goes to one buyer in that market, so you’re never racing other investors to the same seller.

How are leads delivered?

In real time, to Slack, SMS and your CRM, with the seller’s answers attached so you can call straight away.

Which ad channels do you use?

Facebook and Instagram for volume, with Google Ads available for high-intent search traffic. We’ll recommend the right mix for your market.

Can I choose my counties?

Yes. Tell us where you buy and we’ll check availability. If a county is already taken, we’ll say so on the call.

How do I get started?

Book a call. We’ll check your market, agree on volume and build your campaign.
