Buyer email prompt
A copy-and-paste prompt for ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini that gets a professional buyer email on the first try, plus the cheapest model that does it well.
What most people type
email to a buyer client letting them know the seller countered at $415k and we have until 5pm tomorrow to respond
It works, but the AI has to guess your client name, agent name and phone number, so the first answer usually needs another round. The version below asks for exactly what a professional would deliver.
The better prompt
Write a short email from a real estate agent to their buyer client letting them know the seller has countered at $415k and that we have until 5pm tomorrow to respond. Include: - 2-3 subject line options with preview text - A clear, calm update on the counteroffer, with a placeholder for how it compares to our last offer - The deadline stated plainly: 5pm tomorrow - One call to action: ask the client to reply or call by [time today or tomorrow morning] so we can discuss and decide on a response - A line offering to go over options (accept, counter, or walk away) when we talk. Don't recommend one or invent market data. Keep the tone professional and reassuring. Sign off as [agent name], [phone number]. Use the client's name: [client name]. Keep the body under 150 words.
Replace the [brackets] with your details before you send it: time today or tomorrow morning, agent name, phone number, client name.
Why this version works
- Added subject lines and one call to action. Makes the email ready to send and easy to act on.
- Added placeholders for names and prior offer. Avoids guessing details the agent must supply.
- Set short length and calm tone. Time-sensitive client emails should be brief and clear.
- Barred invented market data or advice. Keeps the email to facts the agent gave.
What a professional buyer email prompt covers
- Clear options or next steps
- Short
- Placeholder for names and original offer
