Tailor each message to the buyer and the conversation you have had. Use them for enquiries and conversations you are entitled to continue; check applicable marketing rules before any promotional campaign. Replace every bracketed field and verify the property facts.
1. Reply to a property enquiry
Use this after a buyer has asked for information. An enquiry does not automatically mean they want general marketing campaigns.
Subject: Your property search in [area]
Hi [Name], Thanks for asking about [property]. To suggest relevant options, what budget range and buying timeframe do you have in mind? That will help me narrow down the selection. [Your name] · [Agency]
2. Follow up after a viewing
Follow up at the time agreed with the buyer. Do not manufacture urgency or invent competing offers.
Subject: What did you think of [property]?
Hi [Name], Thank you for viewing [property] on [day]. I noted your comments about [specific detail]. Does it fit what you are looking for, or should we change anything for the next viewing? [Your name]
3. Suggest another property
Check availability and price first. Describe your actual selection rather than claiming an automated match.
Subject: An option in [area] for your search
Hi [Name], I found [property], with [feature], at [price]. Compared with the last property we viewed, the main difference is [relevant detail]. Would you like me to send the details? [Your name]
4. Arrange a second viewing
Offer realistic options. A proposed time is not yet a confirmed appointment.
Subject: A second look at [property]
Hi [Name], We could arrange a second viewing to take a closer look at [outstanding question]. Would [suggested time] work, or would another time suit you better? I will confirm availability with the owner. [Your name]
5. Share a price change
Use confirmed figures. Avoid promises about investment returns or pressure to make an immediate decision.
Subject: Price update for [property]
Hi [Name], The price of [property] has changed from [previous price] to [current price]. I thought you would want to know because it was part of the search we discussed. Would you like to reconsider it, or shall we focus on other options? [Your name]
6. Check whether the search is still active
Use this where continuing the conversation is appropriate. Silence is not permission for repeated contact or switching to another channel without permission.
Subject: Still looking in [area]?
Hi [Name], When we last spoke, you were looking for [requirement]. Before sending more options, I wanted to ask whether your search is still active or you would prefer to pause it. Let me know what suits you. [Your name]
7. Pause a follow-up politely
Respect requests to stop receiving messages. Record the outcome so another agent does not restart the same follow-up by mistake.
Subject: Putting your property search on pause
Hi [Name], To avoid sending options you may no longer need, I will pause the follow-up for now. If you would like to restart your search later, reply here and we can review your preferences. Thank you, [Your name]
How to keep follow-ups organised in Fincta
- Open the client's record and review the budget, area, notes and assigned agent.
- Choose and personalise an example above. Send it using your usual email service.
- Use the contact action in the client record when you have contacted the person. Add a note with the result and next step.
- Schedule a viewing if one is agreed. Review clients requiring follow-up from the agency dashboard.
Fincta does not send these email sequences automatically. The email templates live in this guide, not in an integrated email campaign tool. The app helps organise the information and record the follow-up.
How often should you follow up?
Agree a next contact with the buyer. An active search, a postponed purchase and a request to stop messages need different treatment. There is no response-rate guarantee or universal sequence that fits all three.
