Happy clients at a disappointing sale price

Ep. 26

In this episode, I give you specific strategies and a whole heap of scripts to maximise your chances of creating a positive client experience, even when the sale price ends up being less than what the owners originally wanted.


  • Coach owners through your appraisal - "If your price is out there, this marketing approach will find it."
  • Prepare owners for every eventuality well before deadline day.
  • When presenting offers, don't have an agenda. Explain all options to your clients: Accept the offer, negotiate, or reject it and go back to the market.
  • Be on their side - back your owners up no matter what they decide to do
  • If they ask for your opinion, that's a privilege. Don't take advantage.
  • Avoid talking in absolutes at all costs. Eg. "This is the best offer your ever going to get."
  • Instead, say "If there was a better price out there right now, I'm confident we would have found it."
  • Let them think about it overnight if they want to. It's ok to let people sleep on it.
  • When you get close on price, don't be afraid to strategically lower your commission.


Always remember, excellent service makes the unacceptable acceptable.

  • 42. Ideas to improve your next real estate awards function

    13:56||Ep. 42
    Real estate office awards have long needed a shakeup. Our industry is obsessed with ranking agents on only one variable - income. This usually means that every awards night you see the same people being celebrated.Many salespeople aren't motivated simply by money. They're motivated by doing a good job, helping others, being a team player and having a good life balance. As an industry, we are missing a golden opportunity to celebrate all the agents who add value to our teams, even if they don't consistently rank no.1 in sales.In this episode, we share 11 new award ideas to incorporate into your next awards function. By doing so, you'll be including members of your team who don't normally get up on stage.For a written version, visit our website: https://www.agentmonday.com/how-to-fix-real-estate-awards/Use this link to book a coaching call: https://www.agentmonday.com/book-personal-coaching/
