Every realtor has heard this line before: “I’m not ready to buy yet, maybe in a few months.” But here’s the thing: these “not now” leads are often the easiest to convert later, if you follow up right.
The follow-up problem
When you’re managing dozens of active clients and new enquiries every week, remembering who to reach out to and what to say months later becomes almost impossible. By the time you think of checking in, they’ve probably already spoken to another agent.
Now what if your phone could remind you exactly when to follow up and what to send for every lead – and all you had to do was tap to execute?
Follow-Up Sequences in Privyr lets you do just that. Privyr automatically tracks your progress with every lead and reminds you as each step is due. It’ll make sure you do everything possible to win that sale, without having to type, think, or remember anything.
To get started, save our 3-step quarterly check-in sequence and scripts for following up with leads who aren’t ready to buy yet. Just go to your Content tab on Privyr, and look for Sequences to set it up.

Why this sequence works
This 3-step sequence works because it:
- Keeps you top of mind by consistently following up with leads who initially said they’re not ready
- Re-engages cold leads gently with timely, relevant messages that feel natural, not pushy
- Helps you stay on track with automatic reminders and pre-written scripts, so you never miss the right moment
Top-performing real estate agents who use systematic follow-up sequences like this one consistently close 3x more deals than those who rely on memory and manual tracking.
Now every time after a lead says “not ready yet”
The difference between an average salesperson and a top performer often comes down to consistent, strategic follow-up. With tools like Privyr, you can implement this exact sequence with pre-written scripts and automated reminders, ensuring that every lead has the best possible chance of converting into a sale.
