Real Estate Listings: Why Agents Shouldn’t Wait Until Spring

Real Estate Coaching Radio

Show Notes

Most real estate agents mentally check out before the year is actually over. The agents who keep working may inherit the opportunities everyone else leaves behind.

Tim and Julie Harris explain why the final stretch of the year can create serious opportunities with motivated buyers, sellers considering pulling their listings, expired listings, FSBOs, past clients, and agents’ centers of influence.

They break down how to handle the common seller objection, “We want to wait until spring,” and why agents need to understand the seller’s real motivation before accepting that timeline. A seller planning to relocate, close on new construction, or move within a specific deadline may not have as much time as they think.

You’ll learn why winter buyers can be more motivated, how to use local days-on-market data in seller conversations, how to requalify seller motivation, what questions uncover hidden concerns, why sellers need to prepare for both fast and slow sales, and how consistent prospecting now can build your first-quarter pipeline.

Tim and Julie also explain why agents should complete their business planning before January instead of waiting until the new year to decide how they will generate leads and grow their business.

Somewhere in your market this weekend, a neighbor at the coffee shop asked an agent, "So how's the market?" The agent said it's going to be real slow until rates improve, the conversation ended, and two weeks later that neighbor listed with somebody else.

Somewhere in your market this morning, an agent is still waiting for the crash. They're holding off on calling their sphere, holding off on the farm mailer, holding off on asking for the listing.
