A short YouTube conversation (Andrew Gazdecki + another speaker) about why first buyer messages fail and how to fix them. Key advice: keep initial buyer messages concise (three to five sentences), show buyer background and interest, demonstrate you’ve done pre-diligence (document list/pre-checks), personalize the message, and end with a clear action step (propose a meeting to discuss next steps).

Three to five sentences.

How much should I share in my first message without overdoing it?
So you want to keep it short and sweet, but again you don't want to copy and paste something vague. You want to keep it three to five sentences. The seller can understand you know what your background is as a buyer, why you're interested and you want to make sure that the seller feels comfortable. You've done all your homework, you've looked at the pre diligence questions, all complete, listing all the documents and from there a short and sweet intro, three to five sentences and then the action step of hey, let's jump on a meeting at your earliest convenience. I want to go over these things and this is what looking forward to the next steps to make an offer.
Yeah, I would say it doesn't need to be a full story or multiple paragraph, just adding a bit more context and personalizing. It can go all the way.
