Real estate lead nurturing is an art form requiring dedication to follow-up, savvy people skills to tease details, and the right messaging at the right time.
The beginning is the most challenging time nurturing real estate leads. Buyers aren’t interested in being “sold” a real estate agent and often claim to be “just looking.” Therein lies a real estate agent’s strategic advantage, as novice real estate agent Melissa Tashjian learned.
In this episode of the Real Estate Trainer podcast, Melissa and Brian talk about how she closed 35 properties in her first year as a real estate agent. Armed with the right lead nurturing strategies, she found a way to add value to potential home buyers early in her communications.
Listen to the scripts and methods that helped Melissa perfect real estate lead nurturing and follow-up. By offering to help her potential home buyer leads to search more effectively, she built a relationship that eventually allowed her to meet in person and land the client.
To help with your real estate lead nurturing, Brian and Melissa cover sorting leads into home buyer categories and applying the appropriate scripts. The right messaging builds rapport with the potential buyer.

Real estate flipping diversifies a real estate professional’s income stream. Real estate agents are ideally positioned to finding fix-and-flip opportunities, building relationships with contractors, and marketing the properties.

REALTOR Magazine 30 Under 30 Winner Diego Espinoza is one of those people. In this episode, Brian picks Diego’s mind about real estate flipping and managing a real estate sales team.

If you are considering adding property rehabilitation to your services or transitioning completely to a fix-and-flip business, you’ll want to hear from Diego. The right organizational structure can make or break your enterprise.

The most common reason why a homeowner chooses to For Sale By Owner is they don’t want to pay the real estate agent commission. They believe not paying commission saves them money.
With the right preparation and practice, real estate professionals can overcome FSBO objections to paying a commission and win their listing.
In this podcast, Brian Icenhower offers an example script real estate agents can use for speaking with For Sale By Owner homeowners. This particular script targets the FSBO belief that they will save money by not listing with a real estate agent. As you’ll hear, the goal of the FSBO script is to acknowledge their objections and land a listing appointment.
Brian goes onto explain why it’s important to not explain a real estate agent’s value over the phone. Instead, it’s best to tackle FSBO objections overpaying commission during the face-to-face consultation. With a little magic, real estate agents will convince homeowners that they will fully earn their home’s value and be worth the commission.

For Sale by Owner listings offer a way for real estate agents to gain quality leads. FSBOs are excellent leads for real estate professionals because they’ve shown they want to sell. Many of these homeowners do not have success selling the home on their own and decide to list with a real estate professional.
In this episode, meet a panel of top-producing agents: Apple Corial, Simon Guy, and Austin Hartman. Brian's panel discusses the methods and scripts they use to win over FSBO clients.
Before you can land a For Sale by Owners, you’ve got to find them and their contact information. The panelists share their go-to source for FSBO, plus brainstorm some alternative places. All participants agree the purpose of the first phone contact is not to sell the value of a real estate agent, but to gain the listing appointment.
To win over an FSBO, you’ll need to build a relationship. Having a ready-to-go script for the listing appointment can help real estate agents convert FSBOs from prospect to client.
Our panelists role-play the FSBO scripts they use to convince homeowners to list with them. The panelists pretend to be a range of callers, from the frustrated homeowner who’s been swamped with agent calls to someone more open to the idea of listing with an agent.
The panelists demonstrate different tactics in the FSBO scripts all with the end goal of landing the listing appointment. Listen and learn:
- How to keep the FSBO homeowner engaged on the call
- Ways to handle homeowner objections
- New approaches to land the FSBO listing appointment
