Q & A – HOW TO TALK TO SELLERS ABOUT THE MARKET SHIFT?

It’s no secret that the real estate market has shifted in recent months. Buyers are more cautious than they were before, and they’re looking for properties that meet their needs and budget. As a result, sellers are feeling pressure to reduce their asking prices or offer more incentives in order to attract buyers.

Although it’s natural for sellers to be worried about how this market shift will affect them, it’s important to remember that there are still plenty of buyers out there who are looking for properties. With the right approach, you can help your sellers navigate this new landscape and find buyers who are willing to pay their asking price.

STEP 1

The first step is to reassure your seller clients that you understand their concerns. Let them know that you’ve been through this before and you know how to help them get the best possible price for their property.

STEP 2

Next, it’s time to talk about pricing. In order to attract buyers in this market, it’s important to be realistic about what their property is worth. Oftentimes, sellers will want to hold out for a higher price than what their property is actually worth. However, this will only lead to their property sitting on the market for longer than necessary.

STEP 3

Finally, you’ll need to discuss marketing strategy. In order to sell in today’s market, it’s important to have a well-rounded marketing approach that includes online and offline elements. You’ll need to show your sellers how you plan on marketing their property so that they feel confident that you’re doing everything possible to get it sold quickly and at the right price.

By following these steps, you’ll be able to adjust your script so that you can talk to your seller clients about the current market shift. Remember, it’s important to be understanding and realistic when talking about pricing and marketing strategy. With the right approach, you can help your sellers navigate this new landscape and find buyers who are willing to offer asking price.
