Do you have other methods to attract buyers?

Qualifying
Buyers
Are you comfortable with asking total strangers
personal financial questions?Are
prospective buyers cooperative in revealing that information to you when they
"just want to look" first?
Fill in here
Yes,
included'This very important exercise is a part of
our daily life.Prospective buyers
EXPECT to share this type of information with us so there is no reluctance or
awkwardness. How much would it be worth to you to know
that prospective buyers were financially pre-qualified even before your home was
shown?
Do you take the time on the phone to pre-qualify
their needs and wants to see if your home is a possible good match for them?
Fill in here
Yes, included'We're match makers
and very good at it!We can point out
and validate their hot buttons. We know the buyer well enough to tap into
their body language.We can overcome
objections.How much would it be worth to you to know that something
in your home matches a prospective buyer's needs or wants before the home is shown?
Do you have contacts and relationships to help
your buyer get a good financial package?Are you even aware of all the various financial packages and vendors
available in today's market?
Fill in here
Yes, included'Because we are so
successful in selling hundreds of homes every year, we generate millions of
dollars of loans.If your buyer
decides to use one of the lenders we frequently work with, your buyer may
save 1/2 to 1% on the interest rate. How much
would it be worth to you to be able to help your prospective buyer get a good
financial package?
Following Up
Can you effectively follow up with everyone who sees your home
for feedback, handle possible criticism, and successfully overcome objections
all without sacrificing your negotiating power?
Fill in here
Yes,
included'It is our opinion that for sale by owners
cannot perform this activity without weakening their negotiating power.What would
it be worth to you to have a 3rd party, detached negotiator, follow up with every showing
and answer questions, solve problems, and overcome objections?
Will
you be prepared to get a commitment while the buyer is at emotional
peak?Will you have all contracts and
paperwork ready to go?Are you
comfortable with the paperwork to know the laws, the risks, what to watch out
for, and answer buyer questions?
Fill in here
Fill in here
Yes, included'It is our opinion
that buyers will be on guard with for sale by owners and try to hide buying
signals.In recent years, the real
estate transaction has become much more complex and regulated.It is far too easy for amateurs, however
honest and well-intentioned, to get into legal trouble.We live in a sue-happy society.How much
would it be worth to you to work with a licensed REALTOR® who has been
stringently trained and tested and is required to meet annual continuing
education requirements and is bound to conduct business by a Code of Ethics?
Setting Your
Price
Access
to and interpretation of official, recent comparable market analysis.
FSBO lacks tools
Yes,
included'We can show you actual sales prices of
neighborhood homes that sold (versus list price) and prices of homes that DID
NOT sell.How much would it be worth to you to have tools to help
you make an informed decision about setting your listing price?
Negotiating
Do you have the skills and knowledge to prepare legally correct
counter offers and keep communication open to achieve a win-win negotiation
for both you and the buyer?
Fill in here
Fill in here
Yes,
included'The negotiating stage of the transaction is
a very delicate time.Emotions are
mixed and charged.It is our opinion
that both buyer and seller are understandably too close to the situation and
their own needs.A 3rd party,
objective professional has a much better chance of bringing the two parties
together to reach a mutually beneficial ending.How much
would it be worth to you to have a professionally trained negotiator bring
the deal together and reduce the chance of it falling apart?
