Success Factor #1

Be clear on what your objective is!

Success Factor #1First and foremost your objective should be “How can I Serve this client Most Effectively?”

Success Factor #1Your objective must be to take the listing at a price that you know it will sell within the listing period! Always think Win-Win.

Success Factor #2Become a Great Listener!

Listening sets you apart. By listening you become a partner. Listening gives you an understanding of your prospect’s needs. Listening builds the relationships that will help you sign more well-priced listings!

Page 4: The Listing Presentation That Gets Homes Priced Rightcountsgroup.com/vids/listing.pdf · 2015. 2. 9. · Price, and Your Marketing Plan Get People to Like You All things being equal,

Listening will set you apart! It’s hard to master but it is worth the effort it takes.

Success Factor #3Ask the right questions, so the seller will convince themselves that you are the right agent, if you ask the right questions and listen.

Execution Note: This listing conversation works equally well in either a one step or two step listing process.

Execution Note: In a two Step ask the first five Questions, take pictures and have them fill our your Client Listing Worksheet, if you have one, and set up a time to meet them. Ideally you should now have them come to your office for step two.

Question # 1 Putting the Seller at Ease!John & Mary, before we get started may I ask the two of you to give me a tour of your home?

Ask the Clarifying Question!John and Mary, so I can figure out the best way to meet your needs and provide you the information you need to reach a good decision, I would like to get a feel for where you are right now. Tell me on a scale of 1 - 10, with 1 being you are not ready to list with me and I should leave now and 10 being, yes, you are the agent we want to list with. Where does your gut instinct tell you we are right now?

Ask a Closing Question!John and Mary do you know, or can you think of, any reason for not moving ahead with listing your home?

Take the Listing!If you will try this listing conversation, just

once, I promise, you will never go back to using a powerpoint presentation or listing

presentation binder!

The Listing ConversationThe relationship you build is more important than the listing price or any thing you could promise them you will do, in walking out with a signed listing that is priced to sell.

After you take the listing ask them to fill out your Client Listing Worksheet. Then make sure you, under promise and over deliver. My listing service webinar starts once you take the listing and teaches you how to turn your sellers into raving fans.

How to Master and then use what you

have learned today!
