34. (You are calling people you know!)
Hi, this is _____. How are you? I have a question for you…do you
have a minute?
I am just calling to let yow know that I am now officially a real
estate agent with Century 21 and I need your help.
Who do you know that needs to buy or sell real estate ?
Can you think of anyone in your (church group, family,
neighborhood, and office) … that may need my services at
this time?
Would you mind if I gave them a call?
By the way … when do you plan on moving?
"I am Totally Committed to my Success"
35. Hello. My name is ________________with Century 21 Northside. How are you?
I am sure you know the reason I’m calling is that I noticed your listing expired today and I would like
to apply for the job of getting it sold for you.
(You may get some objections here. If so, acknowledge and empathize then move on to the rest)
There are only 3 reasons a home will sit on the market this long and not sell. If it is priced right and
good condition, it must be that it needs better marketing.
I have a SUPER-AGGRESSIVE marketing plan that I would like to share with you at your
convenience.
Of course I’m sure you are going to want to get your home back on the market as soon as possible
so I can arrange to meet with you this afternoon or later this evening….whichever works better for
you.
(SILENCE UNTIL THEY SPEAK)
