The buyer sources

The Buyers • ACTIVE • PASSIVE• LOCAL• OUT OF AREA

We know where 100% of the buyers will come from but we don’t know where the best buyer will come from

Marketing Dialogue• Can’t control the price but can control method of sale and marketing • Must go fishing in an ocean not in a pool • We know where 100% of the buyers come from – just don’t know

where the best buyer will come from • Your marketing investment is equal to half a bid auction • Are you comfortable with not talking with 100% of the buyers• What’s more important to you the 3k marketing or the risk of

underselling your property by 30k• You need to decide whether we whisper in the room or scream from

the mountain tops

Marketing Dialogue• Your home’s value is dependent on 4 things• If we don’t use 100% of the resources, how will we know we have

achieved 100% of the potential price• Just so I understand first buyer or best buyer? • Wolf on Wall Street analogy • Home is on the market in competition not in isolation• Active intellectual internet vs passive print • When you watch the news you notice the news reader • I don’t want a buyer saying it wasn’t meant to be • We are taking out insurance

Listing Presentation Dialogue

• I can tell you what the market is doing now

• It’s the process not the promise of a price

• I can see the logic in meeting one extra agent…

• We can debate price for hours today between ourselves but the main

conversation about price must be with the new owner

Buyer Dialogue

• You won’t be buying this home in isolation with the owner but under

competition – can I show you how to win?

• Are you going to make a decision for your family based on the

market or based on your life?

• Thank you that price level has already been tested

Prospecting Dialogue

• Were you enquiring about this property in regards to buying it or

comparing it to something you currently own

• Are you researching, buying or selling

• I have 2 buyers who are hot to trot should we quote yours

Closing Dialogue

• When do you want me to start

• When can I start work

• Do you have a spare key or should I get one cut

• When should we start bringing the buyers through
