Real Estate Voicemail Scripts

Repetition kills callbacks. These are the three voicemails that work — one for sellers, one for buyers, and one follow-up — written to be finished before someone's finger reaches the delete button.

Seller voicemail

"Hi [name], this is [name] — I'm calling about [address].
I buy houses in [area] as-is for cash, and I had a question about the property.
Call or text me at [number] — again, that's [number]. Thanks, [name]."

Say the number twice, slowly. If the address is wrong, they'll still call — because you named a house they know.

Cash-buyer / disposition voicemail

"Hey [name], [name] here with [company]. I've got a [beds]/[baths] on [street] in
[area] — [condition in three words], and I'm showing it this week.
If you're buying in that zip, call or text [number]. Thanks."

Specific street + condition + "this week" is what separates this from the ten generic blasts they got yesterday.

Follow-up voicemail (after a conversation)

"Hi [name], [name] again — good talking earlier. Two things: the written offer
is in your inbox, and I can walk you through the numbers whenever you're free.
[number]. Talk soon."

The four rules

If the number is dead or the seller calls back and you don't remember what your last message said — that's what call notes are for. Seller call notes template →

Questions people ask

How long should a real estate voicemail be?

Under 25 seconds. The sweet spot is 12–18 seconds: name, property, one reason to call back, a clear ask.

Should I leave a voicemail or call back later?

Leave it. A blank missed call is forgettable; a specific 15-second message gets returned more often than most callers expect — and it makes your next call a warm one.

How many voicemails before I give up on a seller?

Three over two weeks, each with a different angle (cash offer, timeline, repair question), then move to text and mail and keep them in a long-term follow-up list.
