Zillow - Make Me Move Tool

Sample Dialogue Go to the FSBO’s house. Tell them: “I do business in this area and I need to know the inventory.” Ask for a tour of their home. Ask about the length of time they have been listed. Ask how their open houses are going. Ask if they have had any offers.

More On FSBOs Ask if they are co-operating with Agent’s /Brokers Ask them: ‘How are you determining the strength of the buyer prospects?’ Offer them your GSM’s card to offer to Buyers. Ask if you can come back to show what you do. Ask if they need your expertise in determining the current market value Secure the appointment.

If A FSBO Is Not Agreeable If a FSBO does not want to avail themselves to your marketing and pricing techniques: Ask: “Would you consider promoting me to any friends/family you know who may not want to do all the work involved, like you are.” Most Powerful Sales Questions Ever-Aro Cluytens FSBO DIALOGUE https://youtu.be/SwkaryNiGKQ

Investors Search Tax records for Absentee Owners Send a note card to the mailing address on the tax record. “Would you consider selling your home on 9220 Broken Timber Way to a Buyers of ours?” How do they find absentee owners quickly/easily

Search Tax Records For Absentee Owners

Sample Dialogue For Investor If an absentee owner responds to your mail/note: Ask them if they are ready to list their property, and if they need pricing. Ask: “Will you co-op (pay) 5% to me and Weichert if I bring you a buyer? I can save you a little money if I do not have to market the property. You would be a FSBO. I am representing the Buyer.” (Agent: you would have the buyer agreement already signed with your Buyer).

More With Investors . . . “I can offer you representation if you need it, but it could cost more and I would connect you to another Weichert Associate for that if your house fits my buyer’s criteria.” “If my buyer doesn’t make an offer, then I can represent you to list it for other buyer prospects. We can discuss that if we need to.” “When can I see the property? Is it vacant or will you or someone else (tenant) be there?”

What Is Your Dialogue Going To Be? Write a script for a phone call with an investor that you sent a note card to. Write the questions you would ask them too. Break into pairs. Practice a call with one as the investor and one as the agent. Did the agent secure an appointment?

The Market Has Changed Dialogue “Good news!” “I’m sure you know the real estate market has picked up.” “Our office just sold a house in 16 days!” “On Hornbeam Drive.” “We had a number of interested buyers who would love to move into this neighborhood.” “Do you know of anyone who may be interested in selling?”
