It can be tricky to get owners selling their homes themselves to list with you, and follow-up is crucial to that process. Here is a sample script for following up with owners selling their own homes. “Hello, this is Your Name. How was this weekend’s activity? Did you meet any buyers who decided to write an offer? In the last week, my company and I sold X properties, and over XX% of homes selling in this market are through an agent like me. I want to help you get the best price for your home. All you have to do is tell me yes, and I’ll get my marketing machine working to sell for top market price. What would you like to do? If I can sell your home for the price you want, in the time frame you need, and do all the work for you and eliminate the hassle, would you consider listing with me?” This is your chance to schedule a listing appointment. If they say, “I don’t think I can get the price I want when we figure in your fees,” say “Allow me to go back and do some research. Let’s get together tomorrow for 15 minutes to see if the numbers work.” The goal is to get a face-to-face meeting where you can excel.

 

Have a wonderful day and please let me know if you need anything.
