Listing Appointments: 11 Things Every Real Estate Agent Must Know Before Walking In

Real Estate Coaching Radio

Show Notes

Most listings that sit were already in trouble before the agent rang the doorbell.

If you don't know the seller's pricing expectations, neighborhood days on market, competing inventory, nearby new construction, timeline, and motivation before the appointment, you're walking in at a disadvantage.

Tim and Julie Harris break down the preparation real estate agents need before meeting with a seller. You'll hear why pricing starts before the presentation, how neighborhood-specific market data can change your strategy, why list-to-sale ratios can be misleading, and how builder incentives can completely change what your resale listing is competing against.

They also explain why listing success requires more than a good presentation. A repeatable system for lead generation, appointment setting, seller pre-qualification, pre-listing preparation, presentation, negotiation, and closing gives agents the confidence to walk into listing appointments prepared to earn the business.

What you'll learn includes how to uncover the seller's real pricing expectations, evaluate days on market correctly, analyze list-to-sale ratios, identify competing inventory, account for new construction, uncover seller motivation and timing, and prepare more effectively before the listing appointment.

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.
