Transform Your Listing Appointments with Client-Centric Strategies
Good Morning AgentBeat Subscriber!
When a homeowner asks about your commission rate, how do you respond? Do you offer a fixed percentage, or do you provide options that align with their needs and preferences? Our approach at AgentBeat is to empower potential clients with choices, and the feedback has been phenomenal. One client even called it "the best listing appointment they've ever been a part of."
Offering Options: The Key to Client Satisfaction
At our listing appointments, we don't just present ourselves as agents who work for our clients; we collaborate with them, offering a tiered commission structure that provides flexibility and control. This method not only demonstrates our commitment to their needs but also sets us apart in a competitive market.
The Tiered Commission Structure Explained
We introduce our potential clients to a tiered commission sheet, breaking down the costs associated with different selling scenarios:
0% Commission: We acknowledge the option of selling independently, though they're considering professional assistance since we're in discussion.
2% Commission: If the sellers find the buyer, we handle all the aspects of the sale for a reduced fee.
4% Commission: When we find the buyer, the commission is set at a reasonable 4%, covering all necessary services.
5.5% Commission: This option involves collaboration with buyer agents. While our sheet initially shows 6%, we make a point to adjust this to 5.5% in their presence, offering a 2.5% commission to the buyer's agent firm.
This transparent, flexible approach not only builds trust but also allows sellers to feel in control, choosing the option that best suits their situation and maximizing their net proceeds.
Extra Touches Make All the Difference
To further enhance the listing appointment experience, we always bring along a thoughtful touch for their children, like a book on moving. Titles like "The Berenstain Bears' Moving Day" or "The Night Before Moving Day" not only engage the kids but also endear parents, adding a personal and caring element to our service.
Your Takeaway
Incorporating a tiered commission structure and thoughtful, family-friendly gestures can significantly elevate your listing appointments. By offering choices and demonstrating attentiveness to the entire family's experience, you position yourself as not just an agent, but a trusted partner in their real estate journey.
Here's to making your next listing appointment your best yet.
Cheers to your success,
