Real estate agents often choose ringless voicemail for lead generation because it is affordable, compliant, and effective.
How to make sure your real estate ringless voicemail campaign yields the best results.
Examples of how other real estate agents have put ringless voicemail into practice with positive results.
In an industry that relies on new buyers and sellers to make a commission, it’s important to keep your real estate pipeline full of new leads. Ringless voicemail is becoming one of the lead generation tools of choice for real estate agents because it is cheaper and more effective than most traditional outbound advertising campaigns.
Ringless voicemail is a simple, easy tool to reach hundreds (or even thousands) of potential clients at the click of a button. It also has the highest open-rate and ROI of any outbound marketing campaign.
Ringless voicemail is the process of sending a voicemail message directly to a contact’s voicemail without the phone ever ringing. This voicemail is pre-recorded and can be sent to hundreds or thousands of users simultaneously.
In real estate, ringless voicemail is effective because it leaves a message that feels personalized to a large number of prospects, usually in a specific area. This message will usually have a call to action such as calling or texting back for more information or signing up for email alerts for market updates.
Ringless voicemail is simple and easy-to-use. Once you have your real estate marketing list, you can send your first batch of messages in as little as 10 minutes.
If you don’t already have a contact list you would like to use, there are list-building services online. Look for a list that is updated quarterly and that can be filtered based on your target demographics.
Ringless voicemail is typically purchased using credits which can be anywhere from $0.02/message to $0.07/message. Most providers will only charge for voicemails that are successfully delivered.
Just Deliver It’s online platform offers a simple over-the-phone voicemail recording platform. You may also upload your own audio file if preferred.
When would you like your voicemails delivered to your real estate marketing list, how many messages would you like to send at a time, and what phone number do you want to show on the caller id?

Real estate agents often choose ringless voicemail for lead generation because it is affordable, compliant, and effective.
Ringless voicemail is considered one of the most affordable outbound marketing campaigns for real estate agents. Direct mail, for instance, requires printing and postage fees with costs starting around $0.60 or $0.75/piece plus the cost of the marketing list. Ringless voicemail, however, can start as low as $0.02 per message. Just Deliver It also offers free high-quality contact lists with certain credit package sizes.
Ringless voicemail has the highest open rate in the outbound marketing industry. This is because ringless voicemail is not overrun with marketing like methods such as email marketing or direct mail may be. It is also reaching prospects on a device that most people carry with them everywhere, and through a communication method that most people are reliant on.
Ringless voicemail takes a different perspective than traditional marketing campaigns. Instead of trying to stand out from other advertisers, your goal should be to find the right target market and create a feeling of trust, opportunity, and partnership in 45 seconds or less.
Here are 6 Components of an effective campaign:
Your list is one of the most important aspects of your ringless voicemail campaign. A high-quality list will result in better response rates and conversions than a low-quality list.
Look for a list that is updated at least quarterly (typically by credit reporting agencies). Filter your list based on location, homeownership status, credit score, age, marital status, or any other demographics that accurately represent your target market.
Many real estate agents like to filter their ringless voicemail marketing list by zip code. This is not only important for real estate agents who have location restrictions but can also help to create a more effective ringless voicemail marketing campaign.
The reason voicemail marketing is so effective for real estate agents is that it can feel like a personal message. Potential clients feel like the real estate agent is reaching out specifically to them because they see opportunity in their property or neighborhood.
Keep your voicemail sounding personable with the following tips:
Make it as easy as possible to help guide your prospect down the funnel by giving them a clear “next step” in the process.
Try something like:
Many mobile phones transcribe voicemails into text. Some users use this to screen calls or to read voicemails when they can’t otherwise listen to them. Make sure the transcription software can accurately transcribe your message by making sure you speak clearly.
Don’t let your ringless voicemail campaign fizzle out by playing phone tag. Be ready to answer the phone when your real estate prospect calls back. This is your chance to show them you will be reachable and attentive if they hire you to buy or sell a property.
What is your name and the name of your company?
Why should the prospect continue listening to this message?
What are you offering and why should the prospect care?
