How to Get Real Estate Agents Bringing You Off-Market Deals β€” Fast!

Agents can be powerful deal sources if you understand how to motivate them. With this strategy, you’ll have everything you need to get agents sending you πŸ”₯ hot properties before they ever hit the MLS. You’ll get:
βœ… Word-for-word call & email scripts
βœ… Objection-handling lines
βœ… A breakdown of the Double Dip Strategy that creates long-term win-win relationships


🧠 Understanding How Agents Get Paid

πŸ’° Real estate agents are typically paid a 6% commission on the final sale price β€” paid by the seller.

A standard deal looks like this:

  • Listing Agent (3%) – Markets the property, adds it to the MLS

  • Buyer’s Agent (3%) – Represents the buyer and negotiates the purchase

πŸ‘₯ But when one agent represents both sides, it becomes Dual Agency, and that agent earns the full 6%! That’s the magic we tap into with this strategy…


🎯 The Double Dip Strategy (How It Works)

Instead of working with a buyer’s agent, when you find a property you’re interested in on the MLS…
πŸ‘‰ Contact the listing agent directly β€” unrepresented.

πŸ—£ Let them know:

  • You’re an all-cash buyer

  • You’d like to make an offer on their listing

  • You want them to write up the offer and represent you as the buyer

Boom! Now they’re getting double commission πŸ’Έ, and you’ve built major incentive.

βœ… The result: Agents will want to bring YOU their listings before they go public.


πŸ“ž Initial Double Dip Call Script

“Hi, my name is [Your Name] from [Example Company Name], and I’m an all-cash buyer looking to purchase in the [City/Area] market. I saw your listing at [Address], and I’m unrepresented.

I’d like to have you represent me on this deal so you can earn both sides of the commission. Can you write and submit the offer for me? Sound good?”


πŸ” Turn One Deal into Many (Long-Term Play)

The goal isn’t just one deal β€” it’s creating a repeat pipeline. Once the agent knows you’ll help them double-dip, you can build a relationship where they give you off-market heads-ups.

πŸ” Bonus Script:

β€œAlso, since I buy in cash and close quickly, could you give me a heads-up when you have new or distressed listings before they go on the MLS?
That way I can send you my offer quickly and you can double-dip again.

What’s your cell number and best email so I can reach out fast?”


πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ Handling Pushback on Low Offers

Sometimes agents will push back and say:

β€œThis offer’s way too low. The seller won’t go for it.”

Here’s how to reply:

β€œYou’re right β€” it is a low offer. But please still submit it. Sometimes a low offer helps trigger a price reduction.
Who knows? Maybe the seller’s ready to walk away and wants a quick cash sale.
I’ve had this happen many times before!”

πŸ˜’ Still getting resistance?

β€œCould you at least give them a quick call and share my offer verbally?
If I were the seller, I’d want to hear what a serious cash buyer is offering β€” even if it’s below asking. I believe it’s fair, considering the work this property needs.”


πŸ“§ Follow-Up Email After the Call

Subject Line: 🏑 Cash Offer – [Property Address]

  • 🧾 Buyer Name: Example Investor Group LLC

  • πŸ“† Closing: 30 days from accepted offer

  • πŸ” Inspection: 10-day inspection window

Looking forward to working together!
[Your Name]

P.S. Keep me in mind for your next listing β€” I’d love to send you a quick cash offer again!


πŸ“… Weekly Follow-Up = Gold

If the property stays active, don’t walk away β€” stay consistent. Re-submit your offer weekly until the deal closes or gets pulled.


πŸ” Re-Submit Offer Call Script

β€œHi [Agent], it’s [Your Name] following up on the offer I made for [Address]. I noticed it’s still active. Could you re-submit my cash offer to the seller again? Let them know I’m still ready to buy.”
