Wholesalers live and die by seller conversations. This script is built for calling owners of distressed, vacant or inherited properties: open with the property, ask the honest question, and qualify motivation, condition, timeline and price before you ever make an offer.
Hi [First Name], my name is [Your Name] and I'm with [Company]. I'm calling about your property at [Property Address]. Would you consider an offer on it?
Is that something you'd be open to discussing for just 30 seconds?
We specialize in buying houses for cash, as-is, and closing fast. That means you won't have to worry about making any repairs or paying agent fees. We can also close on your timeline, which can be really helpful this time of year.

Say who you are, the property address, and ask directly whether they would consider an offer. Owners hang up on vague openers and stay on for honest, specific ones.
Generally yes, if you scrub against the federal Do Not Call registry, respect state calling hours and identify yourself and your company. Rules vary by state, so check with a professional.
Condition, occupancy, motivation, timeline, price in mind and who is on title. That is enough to decide whether to book an offer call.
