Review & Referral Scripts
Review & Referral Request Scripts for Realtors
In real estate, a single 5-star review can be the deciding factor for a seller choosing between you and a competitor for a $20,000 listing commission. These scripts help you capture that social proof and turn every successful closing into a referral engine.
Post-Closing Buyer Review Request
Use this via text or email 24-48 hours after your buyer gets their keys and the excitement is at its peak.
Congratulations again on the new home! I’m so happy we were able to get your offer accepted in such a competitive market. Would you mind taking 60 seconds to leave a Google review about our time working together? Reviews from happy homeowners like you help me stand out when other buyers are looking for a reliable agent. I’ve made it easy with this link right here!
Tips for this scenario
- -Send the link directly to their phone so they can do it while sitting in their new living room.
- -Mention a specific win, like 'beating out five other offers,' to remind them of your value.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
!Answering the phone during a showing, which tells the client in front of you that they aren't your priority.
!Waiting too long after closing to ask for a review when the 'moving stress' has replaced the 'closing joy.'
!Failing to have a professional AI receptionist like SkipCalls to handle Zillow leads while you are driving between properties.
!Not including a direct, clickable link to the review page in your text or email.
!Asking for a review before the inspection or appraisal is cleared, which can backfire if the deal hits a snag.
