WhatsApp has become the #1 lead nurturing platform for real estate in India.
Why?
- Buyers don’t always take calls
- They don’t reply to generic SMS
- But they always read WhatsApp
The challenge is not sending messages, it’s sending the right message at the right time.
This guide gives you proven WhatsApp follow-up templates designed to:
✔ Increase response rate
✔ Increase site visit confirmations
✔ Convert cold leads into warm leads
✔ Push warm leads to booking

Use them manually or automate via CRM + WhatsApp marketing tools.
Rulebook for Real Estate WhatsApp Follow-Ups
Before scripts, remember:
| Rule | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Don’t pressure | Buyers disconnect |
| Don’t sound salesy | Trigger resistance |
| Personalize every message | +70% response |
| Always end with a question | Encourages replies |
| Combine text + media | Higher engagement |
Templates below follow these principles.
Message #1 – Instant Lead Response (0–5 Seconds)
Goal: Convert enquiry into conversation before they talk to competitors
Hi <Name> 👋
Thank you for enquiring about our <1 / 2 / 3 BHK> homes at <Project Name>.
Sharing the brochure + price sheet 📎
Let me know which configuration you prefer — 1 BHK or 2 BHK?
Last line is key → It invites a reply.
Message #2 – Price + Value Hook (Same Day, 1–2 hours later)
Hi <Name>, quick update 👇
The <1/2 BHK> starts from ₹<xx L>,
and includes access to <highlight 2-3 key amenities like clubhouse / pool / kids zone / gym>.
Can I check availability for your preferred floor or wing?
This moves conversation toward selection.
Message #3 – Site Visit Invitation (Day 1 / Same Day)
We have guided **site visits tomorrow & Sunday**
where we show the sample flat, amenities and location connectivity.
Which slot should I reserve for you — **morning or evening?** 🙂
A yes–yes question dramatically increases confirmations.
Message #4 – For Leads Who Stop Responding (Re-Engagement)
Hi <Name>, a quick update —
Only a few units are left in the <preferred BHK> category.
If you'd like, I can check **exact availability and facing** for you.
FOMO triggers action without sounding forceful.
Message #5 – EMI / Affordability Trigger
Hi <Name> 🙂
Many buyers are choosing <Project Name> because EMI starts from **₹<xx,xxx/month>**
based on recent offers with our banking partners.
Would you like me to calculate EMI for your budget?
Buyers often hesitate due to affordability fear, this message decreases anxiety.
Message #6 – Social Proof (Trust Building)
Hi <Name>, sharing a quick video of families who recently booked 👇
<video/testimonial link>
You’ll get a good idea of the lifestyle and amenities.
People trust other buyers more than salespeople.
Message #7 – Construction & Transparency (Trust Booster)
Hi <Name>, this week’s **construction update video** for <Project Name> 👇
<video link>
Let me know if you’d like to visit the site this weekend.
Proof of progress → Confidence increases → Booking probability increases.
Message #8 – Weekend Push for Site Visit
Hi <Name>, we have 6–7 families visiting tomorrow for sample flat viewing.
Should I add your name to the list? You can bring family members too.
People love to follow what others are already doing → social momentum.
Message #9 – Urgency-Based Closure (Use Carefully)
Hi <Name>, price is expected to revise once the current inventory is sold.
If you want, I can **block a unit for 24 hours without payment**.
Let me know — no pressure 🙂
Creates urgency without aggression.
Message #10 – Festive / Offer Trigger (Optional Seasonal)
Hi <Name>,
Limited-time festive benefit 💫 —
Stamp duty + registration support exclusively for <1/2 BHK>.
This is valid only till <date>.
Should I check eligibility for you?
Time-bound incentives trigger decisions.
Templates for Highly Specific Scenarios
| Scenario | Message |
|---|---|
| Buyer wants time | “No problem, should I follow up after 2 days or weekend?” |
| Buyer wants loan support | “I can arrange a bank manager for eligibility check — free & fast.” |
| Buyer visited site but didn’t book | “Corner units expected to sell first — want me to check updated availability?” |
| Buyer negotiating | “I can request for the best possible price if you confirm the preferred unit.” |
Frequency Blueprint (Proven To Maximize Conversions)
| Time | Action |
|---|---|
| 0 sec | Instant WhatsApp |
| 1–2 hours | Value + price hook |
| Day 1 | Site visit invitation |
| Day 2–15 | 6 nurturing messages (2 per week) |
| Day 16–45 | Trust + urgency + offer triggers |
| Day 45–90 | Low-frequency nurturing (not spam) |
Real estate isn’t short sales cycle, it’s a reminder game.
Final Takeaway
Most real estate leads convert not because of the first message, but because of the 7th, 10th, or 14th message.
WhatsApp follow-up converts silence into conversations
conversations into site visits
site visits into bookings.
The difference between 1% and 10% conversion rate isn’t advertising —
it’s follow-up intelligence.
