Texting Prospects: How's it going?
What's going on guys? Recently I have stepped up my texting game because it feels like a lot of property owners are dodging phone calls. Maybe they think I'm the bank, maybe they think I'm a tenant, or maybe they're just sick of people calling asking them to sell.
I have been getting 25-50% response rate with texting. My word path changes depending on the type of property and their situation (absentee owner, short sale, zombie prop etc...).
What have you seen with texting?
What scripts have worked for you?

If you're not texting I highly recommend you looking into it. Review the texting laws in the areas that you are targeting. For example, I cannot send out more than 30 texts at a time or I'll be flagged for spamming. I also need to change the word path because if I send the same text out to 30 numbers there's a good chance I'll get reported. Basically you have to "manually" text individuals and not mass text because there are significant fines. So again, review state and fed laws before you just start firing off texts.
Thank youuuuuuuu
