My Three-Step Formula For Selling Your Home
Do You Want Top Dollar For Your Home?
Thinking of selling your home?


Body Text: 


HOMEOWNER,

I sent you a letter and haven’t heard back from you yet, so I’m following up.

I have sold dozens of homes in your neighborhood and know I can do the same for you. 

I use a strategy that has proven time after time to get my clients property sold for top dollar. I call it the 3-Step Formula. 

Here’s a quick summary of how the 3-Step Formula will get you top dollar:

#1. Expose your property to more buyers. 93% of buyers start their searches online. I can expose your property to more buyers than you can on your own. 

In addition, I know how to get buyers to look at your property and make them fall in love with it online — before they’ve ever seen it in person.

#2. Utilize Top-Notch Marketing. There are many different aspects of marketing, but the most important ones are:

  • High-quality, charming pictures that showcase your property’s appeal online. 
  • Understanding the 80/20 rule and using that to make your property stand out from competing properties for sale. 
  • The process I use to hook buyers online and make them fall in love with your property before they’ve ever seen it.

#3. Help you improve the showing condition of your property. A staged property will sell for more money than one that is not staged. 

This is a brief letter, so I won’t go into my whole strategy. But when you’re ready for more in-depth information, I would love to sit down with you. Just reply to this message, or you can give me a call at (333) 555-1212. I’d be happy to meet with you and explain these strategies to you in person.

Working as an attorney is often a thankless job.

- An Easy-Going, Cooperative Experience. I’m looking to build long-term relationships with attorneys like you, so it’s my goal to be easy to work with. I want you to feel comfortable referring your clients to me. 

The next time one of your clients is thinking about selling their home, I can step in and help them navigate the process while getting top dollar.

Remember, I’m here to help you!

General Sellers Phone Call Script

Step 1: Make sure you are talking to the owner. If Steve Johnson is the owner and the person answering the phone sounds like a guy, then ask, "Hi, is this Steve?" 

“Hi, this is ____. I’m the Realtor that sent recently sent you a letter. Did you receive that letter?” 

Pause and wait for them to say “Yes.” 

“Great. I’m following up on your property at ________? Are you interested in selling that property – provided you could get the right price for it?” 

If they say “Yes,” then to Step 2 If they say “No,” then ask them: 

“Do you think you’ll be interested in selling it in the future?” 

If they say “Yes,” then find out when that will be and follow up in the future. 

Tip: Always cut the follow up time in half because many people list  sooner than they think.

If they say “No,” then thank them for their time and end the call. 

Step 2: “Excellent. I’d like to meet with you at the property sometime and show you my marketing strategies and how they can help you get top dollar for that property. When is a good time that we could meet and do that?”

If they say “Yes,” then schedule the appointment. After that, get more information to help you prepare for the appointment. Ask the following questions and note the answers. 

  • “If you were to sell, how soon would you want to sell the property?”
  • “What is the reason you are considering selling this property?” 
  • “Do you have any idea what kind of price you want for the property?”
  • “Can you tell me a little bit about the property?” 

If they say “No,” then try and handle their objection and schedule the appointment. There are so many different ways to handle objections that I can’t handle them all here. But, if you’re persistent, many people will meet with you… and list with you! 

New Expired Phone Script

Step 1: Make sure you are talking to the owner.

Call and ask for the owner by their first name only:

"Hi, is this _____?"

Step 2: Go through the script.  

“Hey ______, My name is ______. I’m a Realtor here in _______. 

I recently sent you some of my marketing materials. Did you receive them?"

Wait for them to answer. 

"I’m sure if I looked at your home, I could come up with a few ideas on some things that could be done differently with the marketing to get more buyers interested in your house… and get it sold. 

Would you mind if I stopped by sometime and took a quick look at your home?”

Wait for them to answer. 

  • If they are agreeable, continue to step 3. 
  • If they aren’t agreeable say: “Are you going to be putting your home back on the market sometime in the future?" (Try and determine if you should follow up.) 


Step 3: Set up an appointment. “What’s a good time that I could stop by and take a quick look at the home?” (Schedule the appointment!)

Old Expired Phone Script

Step 1: Make sure you are talking to the owner.

Call and ask for the owner by their first name only:

"Hi, is this _____?"
 

Step 2: Go through the Script.  

“Hey ______. My name is ______. I’m a Realtor here in _______. 

The reason I’m calling is because you had your home for sale with another Realtor a little while ago... and it didn’t sell. 

I was wondering if you were interested in selling your home with the HOT Market we have right now?”

  • If they say “Yes,” say: “I’ve got some different strategies that might be able to sell your house, even though it didn’t sell before.

    Would you mind if I stopped by sometime to look at your home and see if one of those strategies could get it sold?”

Step 2: Introduce yourself. 

“My name is ____. I’m a Realtor here in City Name." 

“Now, just so you understand, I’m not calling you to list your home. My approach is to offer assistance so that if you ever do consider hiring a Realtor, you’ll consider hiring me." 

"So, I wanted to see if I could offer you free, professional-quality pictures of your home. You can use those pictures to market your home for sale by owner." (Slight Pause) 

"Do you think that’s something you would be interested in?”

(Pause and wait for them to reply.) Most people will reply, “Why would you do that? It sounds like a scam.”

To which you reply, “It’s like when you go to the grocery store and someone offers you free samples. They give you the food samples, whether or not you buy more food from that point.  

That’s why I’m giving away the pictures. It’s a free sample of what I can do to sell your home. (Slight Pause) Is that something you’d be interested in?”

  • If they say “Yes,” set up an appointment for the free pictures. Do not continue on to Step 3. (If you do, you will destroy your credibility.)

  • If they say “No,” continue to the next step below. 

Step 3: See if there’s an opening to get the listing today.   

“Now, if you could sell your home with a Realtor and they did all the work… and you still NETTED the same amount of money in your pocket… is that something you would consider doing?”

Most will say “Yes.” If so, continue: 

“I know this may sound crazy, but in most cases, a Realtor can sell your home for more money. For example, there was recently a FSBO on the market for $220,000. 

After 4 months on the market, they hired a Realtor. The Realtor sold it for $240,000. Even after paying commissions, the seller got an extra $5,000 in their pocket. 

I’m not saying this happens every time. But, it happens more often than not. Is that something you’d be interested in?”

If they say “No,” thank them for their time and get off the phone. Remember, next week is a new opportunity. At that point, you can follow up with them! Just keep calling until they list with you or someone else.

I wanted to check back with you and see if you might reconsider the free professional-quality pictures I offered to you. 

Is that something you’d be interested in?” [Wait for them to answer.]

  • If they say “Yes,” set up an appointment for the free pictures. 

  • If they say “No,” continue to the next step below. 

Step 3: Check if there’s an opening to get the listing today.   

“Now, if you could sell your home with a Realtor and they did all the work… and you still NETTED the same amount of money in your pocket… is that something you would consider doing?”

“Hi, is this ______?”


Step 2: Introduce yourself. 

“My name is ____. I’m a Realtor here in City Name. 

I noticed that you have been appointed as the Executor of the estate of _______. Is that correct?” [Wait for them to reply.]


Step 3: Offer them a free Market Analysis. 

“I also see that the estate has a property at _______? Would you like me to do a Market Analysis and tell you exactly what that property is worth?” [Wait for them to reply.]

Step 4: Ask if they need any help with anything. 

“Do you need any help with handymen, maintenance for the house, or anything like that?” [Wait for them to reply.]

 

Step 5: Ask if you can meet them at the property.  

“Would it be helpful if I met you at the property to help you determine what it is worth and help you with anything?” [Wait for them to reply.]

The key to this entire script is to get them to talk and see how you can help them. If they start talking, let them talk. Sometimes, you’ll hear their whole life story. But, it will also get you some listings.

Hi, is this [Attorney First Name]?

Hey [Attorney First Name]! This is [Your Name]. I’m a Realtor, and I had a quick question about your clients who need to sell their home. Do you have a quick minute? 

I’m sure your clients have hired all sorts of different Realtors to sell their home. Have you ever had a difficult time working with some of those Realtors… like where they created a lot of conflict… undermined you… or were simply difficult to work with… has that ever happened before?

Pause and wait for them to answer. 

I’m sorry to hear about that. I know you can’t control who your clients hire to sell their house. But, I know your clients trust you, and you can probably recommend a few different realtors to some of your clients… instead of just having them hire whoever they want to hire.

I wanted to take you out to lunch… my treat… and show you how I could be one of those Realtors you recommend to your clients. 

Do you have some time over the next week where I can take you out to lunch… and talk about how we might be able to help each other?
