The 5-Question Real Estate Buyer Qualification Script (That AgentSixx Runs on Every Lead)

Most agents waste 2-3 hours per dead lead because they skip qualification and jump to showings. The 5-question script qualifies in 90 seconds. AgentSixx runs it on every inbound call automatically.

The 5 Questions That Sort Buyers From Tire-Kickers

Every real estate buyer lead should be asked these 5 questions before you spend an hour of your time:

1. Are you working with another agent?

  • "Yes" → Disqualify (or refer with split)
  • "No" → Continue

2. What's your timeline to move?

  • "0–3 months" → HOT
  • "3–6 months" → WARM
  • "6–12 months" → NURTURE
  • "Just browsing / over a year" → COLD

3. Are you pre-approved? With which lender?

  • "Yes, pre-approved at $X" → HOT
  • "Working on it" → WARM (lender handoff opportunity)
  • "Paying cash" → HOT (confirm proof of funds)
  • "Not sure yet" → NURTURE (educate on process)

4. What price range are you looking at?

  • Confirms affordability
  • Identifies mismatch (if asking about $1M homes but pre-approved at $400K)
  • Routes you to appropriate showings

5. Are you ready to see homes this week or next?

  • "Yes, this weekend" → BOOK SHOWING NOW
  • "In a few weeks" → SCHEDULE FUTURE CALL
  • "Not sure when" → NURTURE
  • "Just checking out the market" → DROP TO LONG-TERM

Why Most Agents Skip This

ExcuseWhat Actually Happens
"I'll qualify them at the showing"You waste 2-3 hrs on someone who can't buy
"Asking financial questions feels pushy"Buyers respect agents who respect their time
"I forget to ask in the moment"Cost: 1 wasted day per unqualified lead
"My ISA does it"If your ISA is asleep or off, it doesn't happen

What Qualification Catches

Real numbers from agents who started running the 5-question script:

Lead Type% of TotalWhat Happens Without Qualifying
Working with another agent22%You drive to a showing, find out at the door
Not pre-approved + unrealistic price31%Hours wasted, can't close anyway
6+ months out / just browsing18%You burn weekend slots on no-intent buyers
Ready to act now29%The leads you should be spending 100% on

71% of inbound real estate leads can be deprioritized after 90 seconds of qualification.

AgentSixx Runs This Automatically

The 5-question script is built into AgentSixx out of the box. Every inbound call gets:

  1. Friendly greeting (indistinguishable from a human ISA)
  2. The 5 qualification questions, conversationally
  3. Routing decision based on answers
  4. Hot lead → ring your cell with full context
  5. Warm lead → book showing into your calendar
  6. Cold lead → schedule callback or nurture sequence
  7. CRM auto-updated with all 5 answers tagged

Time: 90 seconds. Every time. Every call.

"Won't the AI Sound Like It's Reading a Script?"

No. AgentSixx voice quality is built to be indistinguishable from a top-performing human ISA. The 5 questions are woven into natural conversation — not rattled off in sequence.

Real call example flow:

"Hi, this is Sarah from Brentwood Realty — saw you were looking at the Maple Drive listing. Quick question, are you working with another agent currently?"

Lead: "No."

"Okay great. And what's pushing you to move — timeline-wise, are you looking to buy in the next few months or is this more 'down the road' planning?"

Lead: "Within 3 months ideally."

"Got it. And are you already pre-approved with a lender, or paying cash?"

[Conversation continues naturally]

No script-reading vibe. No robotic delivery. Just qualified leads.

AgentSixx ships with qualification scripts for:

  • General buyer leads (the 5-question default)

  • Open house follow-up
  • FSBO outreach (different angle — sellers, not buyers)
  • Expired listing outreach
  • New construction inquiries
  • Investor leads (timeline, financing structure, deal type)
  • Referral leads (warmer tone, sphere context)

Customize any of them. Or upload your own proven script.
