Training and Call Tips – LPMAMA Method

The LPMAMA framework is one of the most effective ways to qualify leads on a real estate call. It helps guide your conversation, uncover key details, and set up next steps.

Use this on nearly every buyer call — whether it's inbound from Zillow or outbound from your database.

What LPMAMA Stands For:

  • Location
    “What areas are you looking in?”
    “Is that the only area you’re open to?”
    “What’s important to you about that neighborhood?”

  • Price
    “What’s your price range?”
    “Is there a max budget you want to stay under?”

  • Motivation
    “Do you rent or own currently?”
    “When are you hoping to make a move?”
    “What’s prompting the move?”

  • Agent
    “Are you already working with another agent?”
    “Have you signed anything with them?”

  • Mortgage
    “Will you be paying cash or using a loan?”
    “Have you spoken to a lender or gotten pre-approved?”

  • Appointment
    “Let’s set up a quick meeting to go over the process and see a few homes.
    Would afternoons or evenings work better for you?”

Quick Tips for Success:

  • Always lead with curiosity — not pressure

  • Mirror their language and match their pace

  • Ask follow-up questions to dig deeper

  • Don’t skip “Agent” or “Motivation” — those save time and effort

  • Always close with a clear next step

Common Call Starters:

  • “Hi, this is [Your Name] with Sue Long Realty Group. Looks like you were checking out homes in [City/Area] — are you still actively searching?”

  • “Just wanted to follow up and see if you're still looking to make a move, or if your plans have shifted a bit?”
