How soon should I follow up after a showing?

Fresh start. Don't scold them for the gap. People in this business can smell a national template. Use neighborhood, property type, and timeline details or don't bother.

Body

Hi [First Name],

I appreciated how direct you were about [topic] today.

In Real Estate, that usually shows up as leads that go cold between showing and offer because nobody followed up like a human. If it's useful, I can share the [notes / one-pager / intro] we mentioned so you have it in writing.

Given this is long time no contact, ask if the old problem still exists, or if you should leave it archived.

If I can return the favor, say the word.

Best,
