02Variations

When the moment is a little different.

  • Investor asks for off-market deals

    Hi [First name], I don't keep a list of hidden deals, but I do hear about homes before they list from time to time. Tell me your exact numbers and I'll call you first when one fits. [Your name], [Brokerage]

  • Pre-construction condo investor

    Hi [First name], thanks for asking about [Project] in [City]. Are you planning to rent it out once it's built, or to live in it later? It changes which units and floors make sense. [Your name], [Brokerage]

Do

  • Lead with rents, costs and price, not adjectives.
  • Ask about strategy: cash flow, growth or a project.
  • Say what you don't know yet, and when you will.
  • Send properties in one simple format they can compare.

Avoid

  • Promise returns, or guess at numbers you haven't checked.
  • Send a duplex to someone who wants a turnkey condo.
  • Fill the reply with lifestyle language about the home.
  • Pass on rent figures before confirming them with the listing agent.

Questions

Before you send it.

What should an investor lead reply include?

The numbers they asked for, or a clear note on when you'll have them, plus one or two questions about their strategy. An investor lead reply that skips the numbers usually loses the investor.

How do I qualify a real estate investor?

Ask what they're solving for, whether cash flow or long-term growth, how many properties they own, their budget, and how much work they'll take on.

What if I don't have the rent figures yet?

Say so, ask the listing agent, and tell the investor when you'll send them. Guessing costs you more trust than waiting a few hours.

Can ORBIT keep track of an investor's criteria?

Yes. ORBIT saves what the investor tells it, by call, text or email, to their record, so each new property can be checked against it.
