Each touch below is one of your 5 daily agent contacts. Five a day, four days a week — that's a real partner pipeline.

Approach first

Don't start cold. Start warm.

Work this list top to bottom — the warmest, highest-fit agents first.

01
Agents you've already closed with (or who've sent you a deal). Reconnect first — these are your fastest yeses.
02
Agents with veteran, first-time, or Spanish-speaking buyers. VA and FHA done right is their headache solved — lead with that.
03
Newer, hungry agents building their book. They're the most open to a real partner who'll teach and show up.
01

Who to target

Right-fit agents — not just any agent with a license.

Green light — approach these

  • Works Charleston and Lowcountry first-time and starter-home price points
  • Serves veterans, military families, or Spanish-speaking buyers (your edge = their wins)
  • Posts buyer education / community content (values-aligned)
  • Newer or mid-level, building their pipeline
  • Responsive, communicative, treats clients like people

Buying signals to watch for

  • Just listed a starter home or a property near Joint Base Charleston
  • Posted a "just helped this family" win you could've financed
  • Mentioned a veteran or active-duty buyer (VA loan fit)
  • Hosting an open house this weekend (co-host opening)
  • Serves a community you can reach in Spanish

1Instagram DMWarm hello, zero askDay 1
DM

Hey [Agent Name]! Just came across your page and love how you take care of your buyers — especially [the first-timers / that veteran family you just closed / your community posts]. I'm Debbie, a loan officer here in Charleston; I work a lot with veterans, first-time, and Spanish-speaking buyers across the Lowcountry — VA and FHA are my home turf. Just wanted to connect with good agents in town.

Fill: [Agent Name] + one specific, true detail you actually noticed. Generic = ignored.

2EmailWho I am + a real reasonDay 4
Email

Subject: A Charleston VA & first-time lender for your buyers Hi [Agent Name], Debbie Haberny here — loan officer and a leader at CMS Mortgage in Charleston. I reached out on Instagram, but wanted to put a real face to the name. Most of my work is the buyers worth getting right: veterans and military families using their VA benefit, first-timers on FHA, and Spanish-speaking families. I explain everything in plain language and protect your closing date like it's my own. I'm not asking you to drop anyone — just be the person you call when a deal needs a different path. Can I send you my one-pager? — Debbie · (843) 822-5685

Fill: [Agent Name]. Keep it short — agents skim.

3Value-dropGive before you askDay 8–10
DM or email

Hey [Agent Name] — no ask here, just thought this might be useful. I put together some free, plain-language buyer guides (VA loans for veterans, FHA and first-time, down-payment help, and one in Spanish for Spanish-speaking families). Feel free to share them with any buyer who's nervous or "not sure they can." Link: /deborah-haberny/guides/ — happy to walk any of your buyers through it personally.

Why it works: you gave them something useful before asking for anything. That's the whole game.

4The coffee askLow-commitment, on their turfDay 14
DM or text

[Agent Name], I'd love to grab a quick coffee — 15 minutes, your spot or mine — on how I can make your next closing easier (and take the tricky buyers off your plate). No pitch, just two people who help families buy homes. What's a good week for you?

If no reply after touch 4: stop, give it 30–60 days, then restart with a fresh value-drop. Never spam.

When they push back

5 honest answers — warm, never defensive.
I already have a lender.
Totally get it — a good lender is gold, and I'd never ask you to drop anyone. I just want to be your backup for the deals your main lender can't do: VA buyers, first-timers who need extra hand-holding, Spanish-speaking families. Different buyers, different needs.
Co-marketing makes me nervous (RESPA).RESPA §8
Smart to be careful — so am I. Everything I do is RESPA-clean: education and service, any shared costs split at fair market value, never paying for referrals. I'll send you exactly how it works so you can see for yourself.
I'm too busy to meet.
That's exactly why I keep it to 15 minutes, on your turf or over the phone. Or I'll just send my one-pager and you keep my info for the next deal that gets complicated. No pressure at all.
Why would I switch from who I use?
You don't switch anything. I want to be the lender you call when your usual one says "no" or goes quiet — or when a VA deal needs someone who actually knows the benefit. I'm the safety net, not the replacement.
My buyers mostly speak English.
Perfect — I serve plenty of English-speaking veterans and first-time buyers too. Being bilingual is just a bonus that opens more of the Charleston market whenever you need it.
