LISTING PRESENTATION
YOUR WHY? • What’s the reason for the move? • What’s most important to you in this process? (Money, ease, timing?) • Have you ever worked with a Realtor before? • How was your previous experience? • Did you work with a single agent or a team? • What would you have changed about that process? • What was your biggest headache? • What are you looking for in an agent/team? Most people that we work with are trying to move forward with their lives in one way or another. They come to us to gain certainty and peace of mind, knowing that the job can get done, and that they’ll know from start to finish that they’re getting what they want out of this transition. Most of our clients end up realizing that we make it much smoother than they thought it would be and most importantly that hiring us actually makes them money.
important factors IMPORTANT FACTORS WHEN HIRING AN AGENT 1. GETTING TOP DOLLAR - This is the main reason why most people sell. To get the most money possible from the sale of your home. 2. PROVEN TRACK RECORD - How is your agent’s track record and how does it stack up against the competition? 3. COMMUNICATION - Does your agent communicate with you every step of the way? 4. QUALITY MARKETING - Is your agent’s marketing strategies, concepts and materials attractive, effective and consistent? 5. SELLING FAST - How long are you willing to wait for the sale of your home? 6. PERSONALIZED SERVICE - What special services is your agent providing that others are not? 7. EXCELLENT NEGOTIATION - Is your agent an expert negotiator? Many claim to be, but the proof is in the pudding. 8. CREATING THE MOST DEMAND - Does your agent create a buzz for your home and is he or she pricing your home correctly?

We enjoyed the honesty and directness from both of you. You gained our trust and we do not just consider you our realtor but a part of our family. Thanks for everything. - DARREN & DIANA
