EP 132: How to Stop Sellers from Ghosting You

In this episode of Properties to Profits, I tackle one of the most frustrating parts of sales—when a seller goes dark. You know the type: one minute they’re engaged, the next they’ve ghosted you. I break down a three-step system I use to eliminate no-shows, reduce ghosting, and create clearer communication so you don’t waste time chasing prospects.

I share real scripts, mindset shifts, and proven strategies to avoid leaving sellers in “no man’s land.” This episode is packed with practical ways to lead the conversation, set expectations, and close more deals without the endless follow-up loop. If you’re tired of getting ghosted, this one’s for you.
