Most agents view listing appointments as an
opportunity to persuade sellers to list with them.

This is what I did for 35 years.

It's what I teach in my most popular webinar,
"The Perfect Listing Presentation."

But what if your Perfect Listing Presentation was accomplished before you walked in the door?

The strategy is to sell sellers on listing with you before you arrive.
![Page 7: How To List Homes In 27 Minutes - A Modern Approach](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58ee5e4b1a28abce148b4615/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

The purpose of the listing appointment becomes "sealing
a deal" that's 95% done. You focus on two things.

1. Take clients from 95% to 100% sure by being genuine and likable. If you can't do that you need to work on
your people skills.

2. Decide on asking price. This is easier if you have pre-vetted the sellers' perception of value.

How to SellSellers
on Listing Before You
Arrive

2 STEP STRATEGY
![Page 20: How To List Homes In 27 Minutes - A Modern Approach](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58ee5e4b1a28abce148b4615/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

STEP 1: THE PRE-
APPOINTMENT CALL
![Page 21: How To List Homes In 27 Minutes - A Modern Approach](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58ee5e4b1a28abce148b4615/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
https://www.flickr.com/photos/10786001@N05/3905561114/
When you receive a listing inquiry, schedule a pre-listing
appointment call by explaining that you will do a better job
of valuing the home if you can ask the sellers a few questions before you arrive for the appointment. Do not try to do this as part of the call
when sellers first inquire. It will carry more weight if it's scheduled separately and you have time to learn about the sellers and the
home via online research.
![Page 22: How To List Homes In 27 Minutes - A Modern Approach](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58ee5e4b1a28abce148b4615/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
https://www.flickr.com/photos/49885666@N00/3455286099/
The perceived purpose of this pre-appointment call
will be to help you better value
the home when you arrive.
But you will have 3 additional purposes, 4
in total.

1. Build Commonality: Check out the sellers on Facebook,
LinkedIn and Google to find areas you have in common. Kids in the same school. You grew up in the same city, graduated from the same
college, like the same hobbies or belong to the same
organizations. People like to do business with people like them. Use the first few minutes of the call to
build commonality.
![Page 24: How To List Homes In 27 Minutes - A Modern Approach](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58ee5e4b1a28abce148b4615/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
https://www.flickr.com/photos/49521371@N06/4539600459/
2. Valuation Questions (this is expected): Ask 3-5 questions relating to information you couldn't determine on your own and
wouldn't know simply by seeing the home. EXAMPLES: Has the home been appraised? If so, ask for a copy to review. Have they improved the home? If so, how much did they spend and what have they done. Are there dog walkers, baby sitters and other
not-obvious benefits of living in the neighborhood? If so, obtain specifics.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/51257471@N07/4723314561/
3. Positions Against Tradition ("PAT"): PATs should be focused on what other agents do wrong
in marketing homes and why this results in sellers taking lower sale prices and netting less at closing than they should. Your amount of commission should not be
the #1 focus. It should be the icing on the cake, positioned as different from other agents, more fair to
sellers, and a logically transparent, better value than fees charged by other agents. One impactful
"PAT" is pre-MLS marketing.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/61479955@N05/5599939279/4. Winning Listing Video (or Audio): Ask if you may email a link to a 3-minute video/audio that explains your home selling strategy. If you are paralyzed at the thought of personally recording
a video, all you have to do is write the script. You can hire voice talent and animated video producers
reasonably… total production cost $500-$650 if you do the writing. You can also hire writers.

STEP 2. LISTING VIDEO
![Page 28: How To List Homes In 27 Minutes - A Modern Approach](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58ee5e4b1a28abce148b4615/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Most agent's listing presentations are mushy and unfocused. Craft your video presentation so that every point reinforces what sellers want most.
![Page 29: How To List Homes In 27 Minutes - A Modern Approach](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070522/58ee5e4b1a28abce148b4615/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

It's not service. It's not experience. It's not company affiliation. It's not
speed of sale. It's not even that you sell the home
for more.

Answer: HIGHEST NET PROCEEDS
AT CLOSING.

Unless the listing decision is based on family or
friendship, sellers list with the agent they believe is more likely to net them
the most at closing. Never forget this. If you win
on this point, you win the listing unless relationship
stands in the way.
