Cold call script for expired listings

A free lead generation prompt for real estate agents. Copy it, or fill in the blanks first, then paste it into ChatGPT or Claude.

Leave any field empty to keep the [BRACKET] in the copied prompt. Your name, brokerage, city, phone and email are remembered in this browser.

Your prompt

To swap the [BRACKETS] for your details, use Fill in the blanks below. Or copy it as it is.

Write a 45-second cold call script for the owner of an expired listing. I'm [YOUR NAME] with [YOUR BROKERAGE].

What I know from the MLS history:
- Property type: [HOUSE / CONDO / TOWNHOUSE]
- Time on market: [X MONTHS]
- List price and any reductions: [PRICE HISTORY]
- My read on why it didn't sell: [PRICING / PHOTOS / MARKETING / CONDITION / ACCESS]

Tone: confident, empathetic, not pushy. Acknowledge their frustration, show I've studied their listing, and ask one question that opens a conversation rather than pushing for a meeting. Don't criticize the previous agent. End with a soft ask for 15 minutes to share what I'd do differently, no obligation.

Then give me short replies to 3 likely objections: "We're taking it off the market," "We're relisting with the same agent," and "Agents keep calling us."

AI output is a draft. Read every word before a client does.

When to use it

A listing just expired in your area and you want to reach the owner with a better plan.

Tip for a better answer

Have the AI play a frustrated expired seller and rehearse out loud before dialing, and scrub the number against the National Do Not Call Registry first.
