Your prompt
Write a 90-word email reply to a buyer who says they're "just looking" for the next 6-12 months. Goal: stay in their orbit without being pushy. What I can offer right now: [SAVED SEARCH / MONTHLY MARKET SNAPSHOT FROM MY MLS / BUYER GUIDE / LENDER INTRO] What I know about their interests: [AREAS, PROPERTY TYPE, PRICE RANGE IF SHARED] The email should: - Acknowledge their timeline genuinely - Offer the one useful thing above, with no invented market trends or predictions - Set expectations for a light monthly check-in - NOT push for a showing - End with: "Reply with the type of property you're curious about and I'll set up a search alert for you." Sign off as [YOUR NAME], [YOUR BROKERAGE].
AI output is a draft. Read every word before a client does.
When to use it
A buyer says they're "just looking" and won't be ready for 6-12 months.
Tip for a better answer
Build the saved search before you send so you can link it, then set a monthly CRM reminder to share one real data point from your MLS each time.
How to push the first draft further
- Reply “shorter” or “half the length”. First drafts run long.
- Ask for “three versions with different tones” and keep the best lines from each.
- Paste something you wrote that sounds like you and say “match this voice”.
