2. Script for Seller Leads Who Do Not Want to Hire Realtors
You might have encountered some people who are bent on not using a realtor. You might be wondering how to convince them to use a realtor to do the job for them. Here is the secret!
Firstly, you must know that your goal is to understand the prospect’s lack of interest in using a real estate agent. This will help you to know exactly how to enlighten them. They might have had bad experiences in the past. You need to persuade them that cooperating with you would be advantageous for them and will increase their chances of selling their house easily and at a better price.
For instance, financial considerations are mostly why people sell their properties. So they always want to make the most money from the sale of their property. They often steer clear of real estate brokers because they may have had bad experiences in the past or believe that doing so would be expensive and will cost them extra money.
Now that you are aware of what they have in mind, your job as a real estate agent is to persuade them that you can help them save more money or obtain a better bargain.
This script will show you how you will do that using empathy:
“Hello, I just saw your listing on a real estate website, and I have a few inquiries about the house you are selling. Do you own the property?
I am Mr. George from soldouthouses real estate agency. I phoned you because I have a few clients seeking houses similar to the one you’re selling; please tell me what your asking price is.
That’s fantastic. Do you currently work with a real estate agent?
Okay. I wouldn’t want you to go through the same things you did in the past. Although I am not requesting you pay for my service, I want to provide you with some information to enable you to negotiate a better price if indeed it’s something you desire.
Alright. Let’s talk more over a cup of coffee. Do you find this date convenient?”
