Lead Follow-up Cadence

This follow-up system responds to new buyer or seller leads right away, then keeps outreach going across the next few weeks without an agent having to remember every touch. It spaces messages based on source, timeline, and responsiveness so cold portal leads still get worked while hotter opportunities are escalated. That protects expensive lead spend from going stale.

How It Works

01

Ingest the lead

A new inquiry from Zillow, Realtor.com, Facebook Lead Ads, or the brokerage website is pushed into the CRM instantly.

02

Send immediate first contact

The lead receives a fast text or email acknowledging the inquiry and offering next steps such as a call or showing.

03

Branch the sequence

The automation assigns a follow-up cadence based on lead source, desired move timeline, and whether the lead replies or books.

04

Escalate active leads

When a prospect clicks, replies, or books, the agent gets notified so personal follow-up happens at the right moment.

05

Stop on conversion

Once the lead becomes active, unresponsive, or closed, the sequence updates automatically so contacts do not get the wrong message.

Key Benefits

  • Improves speed-to-lead on high-cost portal leads.
  • Maintains consistent follow-up across a full 30-day nurture window.
  • Surfaces engaged prospects before they cool off or choose another agent.
  • Prevents leads from being forgotten when the agent is busy in showings or closings.

In Practice

A buyer lead arrives from Realtor.com during a Saturday open house. They get a text in under a minute, a property search setup email that evening, and a reminder two days later, while the agent is only pulled in once the lead replies asking to see three homes.
