      What Are Sign-Up Responder Texts?

      Sign-up responder texts are automated messages sent to leads immediately after they register on your Real Geeks website. These messages are tailored based on the lead source—where the lead signed up, such as a property search page, home valuation page, or market report page.

      These messages instantly engage the lead, acknowledge their interest, and encourage further conversation, helping you establish a connection right away.

      Why Are They Important?

      Leads expect quick responses, and an immediate follow-up can make the difference between closing a deal and losing a potential client. Here’s why sign-up responder texts are essential:

      ✅ Instant Engagement – Captures the lead’s attention when they are most interested.

      ✅ Personalized Communication – Messages can be tailored to the lead’s intent.

      ✅ Higher Conversion Rates – A fast response increases the likelihood of a lead turning into a client.

      ✅ Saves Time – Automates the first point of contact so you can focus on nurturing serious leads.

       

      Customizing Messages for Each Lead Source

      Each lead has a different intent based on how they signed up. A well-crafted responder text should acknowledge that intent and provide relevant next steps. Here are some examples:

      Buyer Lead Sources & Message Focus

      Buyer leads are actively looking for homes. Your message should acknowledge their search and offer assistance.

      • Website Property Search – Lead is browsing homes.
      • Website Property Landing Page – Lead clicked on a specific listing or ad.
      • Website Agent Landing Page – Lead may be looking for an agent.

      Example Message for a Buyer Lead:

      “Hi [, thanks for signing up! I see you’re searching for homes—are you looking for something specific? I’d love to help you find the perfect place! Let me know if you’d like me to set up a custom home search for you. – [Your Name]”

      Seller Lead Sources & Message Focus

      Seller leads are interested in home valuation or market trends. Your message should acknowledge their curiosity and provide guidance.

      • Website Property Valuation – Lead wants to know their home’s worth.
      • Website Market Report Page – Lead is tracking market trends.
      • Website Property Valuation Agent Landing Page – Lead may be considering selling soon.

      Example Message for a Seller Lead:

      “Hi  , thanks for requesting a home valuation! I’ll review your property details and send you an accurate estimate shortly. Are you thinking about selling soon, or just curious? Let me know how I can help! – [Your Name]”

      “Hi , thanks for signing up! I see you’re looking for homes in —how can I assist you?”
