Expired Listing Scripts (2025): Book More Appointments
Nov 21, 2025
Updated for 2025 · step-by-step scripts to win expired listings, stay organized, and convert homeowners confidently
I’ve helped 800+ Northern VA families and closed $500M+ in sales. Here’s the exact expired listing script system my team uses to book more appointments—straightforward, results-driven, no fluff.
Why Expired Listings Are an Opportunity
Expired listings are motivated sellers who need guidance. Many agents fail here because they sound generic or pushy. Using a structured, consultative script system helps you:
- Stand out from previous agent attempts
- Build trust quickly
- Turn frustrated sellers into signed clients
