Goal Recap

A

Sit down (preferable at the dining room table), not directly across from them if you can. Review what you discussed during the pre-call and let them recap what they are trying to achieve. You will notice that that their plans are often different than what they discussed with you over the phone.

25
Q

21 Day Rule (pricing)

A

Tell them “We will know within the first 21 days (14 in busier markets) if the price of you home is right or wrong. We will know one of three ways”

26
Q

21 DAY RULE Three ways of knowing pricing is wrong #1

A

If we have a lot of showing and offer(s), we know the home is priced appropriately

27
Q

21 DAY RULE Three ways of knowing pricing is wrong #2

A

If we have showings and poor feedback or very few showings and no offers, we know the price of a home is slightly off. For example, If we have 10 showings on your home and 8 of them say we were overpriced, we would know we are slightly overpriced, wouldn’t you agree?

28
Q

21 DAY RULE Three ways of knowing pricing is wrong #3

A

If nobody comes to see your home, which is -don’t worry- quite unlikely, but always a possibility, then the price is more significantly off.

29
Q

TRIAL CLOSE

A

Based on everything I have shown you, as far as our marketing and approach, do you feel it would be effective in selling your house?

If YES, move on to pricing
if NO go over marketing again

30
Q

Pricing

A
  1. Review the 3-5 comps brought
    Start with lowest to highest, highest should be no higher than where you want them listing
  2. Use CMA sheet to write the important details.
  3. “Based on the information we reviewed, where do you think your home should be positioned in the market?” Do your best to get them to say a number, if they don’t go over the comps again.
31
Q

If seller is thinking of starting WAY to high discuss what?

A

“Plan A/B”

32
Q

“Plan A/B” is what

A

Tell them “Obviously we all want your home to sell for as much as possible. But if the market decides $400k is to high for your home, what is plan B? We spend thousands of dollars marketing your home so it is very important that I know what Plan B looks like”

33
Q

Lamacchia Realty NET SHEET

37
Q

Seller,”What do you think I should do with (insert home improvement, ie. carpets, counter tops)?”

A

Well you could always spend time and money on improvements, but let’s see where we get to on price first then if it makes sense we can talk about improvements. I think (item of questions) is pretty nice.

Does that make sense?
