Agent Monday - Real Estate Coach
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.

Why content marketing is the best way to grow your real estate business
18:35In real estate, you need a way to efficiently keep in touch with the vast majority of your audience who aren't looking to buy or sell in the immediate future, while you focus on the people moving right now.Content marketing is a fantastic way to do this. It allows you to cost-effectively stay top of mind with everyone you have met throughout your career, along with people from networks you created before getting into the property industry. It's high-leverage, scalable, time-efficient and easy to set up. It also qualifies as soft-touch marketing, which is the ideal approach for clients who don't immediately require your services (but will do, one day).---------The best way to build a real estate business with a consistent, steady flow of income is to develop your own real estate newsletter.
