2 Questions to Pre-Qualifying Sellers

Posted by on Mar 29, 2021 | 2 Comments

I want to share with you a story that illustrates the importance of pre-qualifying your sellers.

I once found myself moving heaven and earth to accommodate an out-of-town seller by meeting them at their home. My goal was to deliver my usual stellar pre-listing procedure, but the seller’s goal was much different. After spending my entire morning there and hours preparing a marketing plan, the seller called me and said, “You will probably not be surprised to learn that we hired the agent who lives next door to us.” Well, I was surprised, but shame on me. I neglected to pre-qualify that seller prior to the meeting.

Two Important Pre-Qualification Questions to Ask

If you want to ensure your valuable time and effort don’t go to waste, it’s crucial that you implement a tougher seller pre-qualification process. Share on X Start by asking the seller these two important questions:

1. Are you interviewing other agents?

2. Is there any reason that you would not engage me to sell your property?

Until next time, make it a great week.
