How to lead owners to be realistic about their asking price
The problem we have is that owners (90% of the time) want more than their property is worth.
If you don’t know how to get them to be realistic then you will not make many sales or money.
What’s worse is if your confidence dips and you don’t know the steps to get you out of your valley of despair.
What would happen if you knew how to lead the sellers to get happily moved instead of being stuck on an unrealistic price?
Do you think that if you knew how to do this, you could make just one extra sale per month?
Last week at Success in Real Estate, I showed agents how to lead sellers to be realistic about their asking price and therefore enable agents to help them get happily moved.
I will share just one of the tools I used when reducing properties today.
SITUATION: Home has been on the market for 21 days or longer and you have had no interest.
When you have had a seller on the marker for 21 days and you have had little interest, you must have the courage to speak to them about the real reason that their property has not been sold.
Most agents dread doing this, but if you use what I am about to share with you it takes the pain away.
? Do you like and care about your sellers?
? Do you get worried for them?
NEVER: Never think about missing out on your professional fee.
ALWAYS: Focus on what’s good for the seller, which is ALWAYS to get happily moved.
As Zig Ziglar said:
“You can have anything you want in life if only you help enough other people get what they want.”
So here is a simple way to adjust the asking price.
“Mr. and Mrs. Seller, I am really disappointed as we have been on the market now for about 3 weeks and have had no real interest.
I want to let you know that I am really worried about the sale of your home.
In fact, I am having sleepless nights about it, so what do you think it could be?
Do you think it could possibly be that the asking price is too high?”
A client of mine Phil, was at Success in Real Estate last week.
He learned and used this and got a substantial price reduction from it and now it looks as though that property will be sold.
He is so happy he used this and said it worked like a dream.
It’s like the mechanic who finds an new way to problem solve a repair on a car and find it saved time and money for the client and when they use it they get excellent results and feedback.
The same will happen for you when you use this.
