How I’m on Track to Sell 50 Homes This Year (Despite a Pandemic)

 

Has the pandemic taken a toll on your business (and your optimism)?

Have the past few months been a real doozy to your real estate biz?

If you’re like many other agents out there, you’ve been riding out these past few months like a SoCal surfer looking to catch a wave on Lake Tahoe in the middle of winter.

Maybe you’ve had an interested buyer here and there, but they back out last minute or say they’re “waiting” until the market has stabilized. Meanwhile, your bank account is slowly getting depleted from zero closings and sad buying Chinese take out.

  3. Homes are still selling and deals are happening

1.  Waiting for your customers to call you

This happens like, never. Ever.

If it does, go you!

But the reality of this happening is about as common as your jam coming on and everyone at the party doing a  coordinated dance routine to it. It is up to you to pick up your phone and make a call! If you don’t, someone else will.

And if you’re nervous about what to say, I’ve got a few great scripts for that here. No excuses now, get calling!

Not having a system… is a system.

Get in. Get out.

Do you want to know how to get your clients under contract in 7 days? Well, keep reading!

new clients scripts Jun 17, 2020

 

Have the “First Phone Call” jitters? These are three excellent ice breakers I ask in every single prospecting call to cover my behind AND pre-qualify clients. 

 

  • Are you currently working with any other realtors? 

  

This question will help you establish agency and begin building rapport with your client. This is one of the most important questions and will set the expectation that this is a professional business call that you should be asking this question every time, every time, every time

 Even if they say “no” the follow up should be:
