Running a real estate business is time-consuming. Between visiting properties, meeting with clients, managing paperwork, working with lenders, texting clients, and other activities, it can be hard to find time to reply to emails and focus on marketing. Additionally, if you have a list of leads you want to email, sending out somewhat personalized messages soaks up additional time.
To make it easier to juggle emails while managing your real estate business, we’ve put together some handy email templates that you can use to acquire new leads, ask for referrals, and much more.

Hi there,
Here’s the lender info I promised in my first email. I recommend you speak to a couple of them to see what programs they offer and to make sure their rates work for you.

Let me know how it goes and which lender you choose.
[Insert contact information for your three preferred lenders, their website links, active email links, and the pre-approval form link]

Thanks!

Once you have been approved and are aware of current market trends, we can start looking for some homes on your preferred platform!
Kindly get in touch and let me know with whom you decided to strike a deal.
