2019 NAR Study: Top Three Value Points You Can Offer a Seller
When you conduct a listing presentation what does the seller really want to talk about?
The National Association of REALTORS (NAR) has answered this question with a new study that reveals what sellers most want from their next REALTOR. This is important because we can easily end up focusing items which have little or no interest to the seller. Instead we should use this research to center our conversations on our highest value points.
The top three items are:
- Help Seller Market Home to Potential Buyers 20%
- Help Sell the Home Within a Specific Time Frame 20%
- Help Price the Home Competitively 19%

Three Reasons Why You Should Never Say You Are "Soooo Busy"
We have all said the words "I am soooo busy!"
But is this the best response when someone asks you how you are doing or how is it going? No, in fact there are three key reasons why you may want to avoid using this language when talking with your sphere of influence, your clients, or even a family member.
1) Bragging - If you are busy and the person you are talking with isn't they may feel inadequate or even embarrassed about their level of success. This can cause disconnection or even professional jealousy.
2) Bothered - Because you are "soooo busy" some clients may decide not to burden you with more referrals or even direct real estate business. Many real estate veterans have had clients tell them "I just didn't want to bother you." Don't let this happen to you!
3) Disorganized - Often people who are overwhelmed, chaotic, or say that they are "soooo busy" can come across disorganized and out of balance. This can be a turn off for clients who want an...
No One Likes to Sell But Everyone Loves to Buy
During a recent training event one of my seasoned Brokers, Dan, said something that instantly resonated with everyone in the room...No one likes to sell but everyone loves to buy.
We were talking about how to motivate sellers to adjust their price, terms, condition, and or incentives to encourage buyers to view their listing and more importantly make offers. His insight was that sellers never become truly motivated until they zero in on what they want to purchase.
In my experience Dan is absolutely correct! As soon as a seller finds a property they want to acquire - their attitude moves from reluctance to excitement. On the other hand sellers who don't know where they are going are often difficult to negotiate with, why? Their reluctance stems from one thing - uncertainty.
When sellers don't know where they will live next it creates anxiety, fear, and doubt. In advising and counseling sellers then our first step might be to first treat all sellers as...

Narrow Casting to Generate More Listing Leads
We have all been trained to do just listed and just sold campaigns - question - is it working?
Narrow casting is a new twist on old fashioned just listed and just sold canvasing. The technique is designed to narrow the field down to a handful of neighbors closest to your listing or the listing you are attempting to sell. The key is immediacy. Your contact with the neighbors is highly targeted and related to recent activity.
Watch this three minute video to explore three scripts you can use this week to begin using the Narrow Casting technique in your own market.

How to Move Sellers Off the Fence Using the DELTA Script
We are going to wait until spring, or summer, or until we can "get our price"....
Have you had a seller say these words to you? Sellers often wait for what they perceive to be a better time to sell. They believe that by waiting they will have a market advantage or net more money at closing.
But waiting is often not in the clients best interests especially if they plan to move up to a more expensive tier of housing. By using the DELTA script you can quickly and easily demonstrate to a seller that waiting not only delays their plans it can also cost them thousands of dollars.
