Door Knocking Opener Script
I freeze at the door. I sound like a robot.
Why this matters
Door knocking still works, but only if you lead with news, not a sales pitch. A just-sold opener gives the neighbor a reason to listen.
How to use this
- 1Open Claude.
- 2Paste the prompt below.
- 3Fill in the just-sold details.
- 4Print a 1-page comp leave-behind.
- 5Knock between 5pm and 7pm on a weekday.
The prompt
Here is what you get back
SOLD_ADDRESS=2014 NE 22nd Ave, SOLD_PRICE=$712k, PRICE_PER_SQFT=$415, NEIGHBORHOOD=Coral Ridge, AGENT_NAME=Raj, BROKERAGE=Coastal Realty, LEAVE_BEHIND=1-page comp sheet
OPENER "Hi, I am Raj with Coastal Realty. I just sold 2014 NE 22nd Ave around the corner. It closed at $712k, which is $415 a foot. Wanted to drop by since you are a neighbor." [PAUSE] VALUE LINE "That sale pulls the comps for your block up about 6 percent. It means your home is worth more than it was 90 days ago." [PAUSE] LEAVE-BEHIND HANDOFF "I made a 1-page comp sheet for Coral Ridge. Want me to leave one with you? No follow-up unless you ask." EXIT "Thanks for the minute. Have a good night." FOLLOW-UP IF: "How much is my home worth?" Agent: "Good question. I can run a real number tomorrow morning. What is the best email to send it to?" FOLLOW-UP IF: "We are thinking about selling in a year or two." Agent: "Smart. I send a no-pitch market update once a quarter. Want me to add you to it?"
How you know it worked
The neighbor took the comp sheet or shared an email for the market update.
Quick tips
- Knock with the comp sheet visible in your hand.
- Step back one pace after they open the door.
- Never push if they say not interested. Smile and leave.
