5 Seller Concerns to Address on the Spot
Every seller is unique and each listing presentation should be approached slightly differently. Having said that, however, there are common seller concerns that you should always address on the spot to stop losing listings. Here are 5 common seller concerns you need to address:
- There are better agents out there – It doesn’t matter how great of an agent you are; there’s always going to be someone who is better. However, if you make an honest effort to understand where clients are coming from and work to meet their specific needs, you can be the best agent for them.
- You can’t get top dollar – More often than not, a client’s home is their most valuable asset. Understandably, they want to get top dollar for it when the time comes to sell. Help them understand that you will get them as much as possible and explain your pricing strategy thoroughly.
- Your commission is too high – It seems like all sellers are concerned about paying listing agents’ commissions. Address this common concern by explaining exactly why you’re worth hiring and how your commission is split.
- The house needs to be fixed up first – Many sellers are concerned that their homes aren’t ready to sell just yet. Overcome this concern by helping them decide which repairs are worth doing and referring quality contractors to get them done.
- You don’t have enough reviews – If you haven’t had enough clients yet to leverage online reviews effectively, potential clients will likely be concerned. Address this by getting some great testimonials together so the clients you have had can sell others on your services.
