Don't say mister, miss, or misses. Don't say their last name. Begin your voicemail message by saying only "hi/hello" followed by the person's first name. Or, you can even forget the "hi/hello" and just say the person's first name. That is how you show confidence and authority and separate yourself from weak salespeople.

Whether you come across a FSBO or a client mentions one, there are a variety of approaches you can take when calling the seller. Consider leaving a voicemail that’s focused on a potential buyer (keep in mind, you must have a client interested in their home). Give this script a try:
