Listing Interview Appointment | System

Keep in mind these things:
1. Every house is different
2. Stay within your system, but pivot if needed. Don't be a robot
3. Build rapport that is positive. Helps their sub-conscience find a way to work with you, as apposed to figuring out a way not to work with you. Don't break rapport or argue with your client. Asking questions will help. Especially when it comes to price. Ask them if they want a top dollar which will require some work and a budget or an "as is" sale and we won't spend much money on repairs and updates, etc. Ask them what they think there house is worth. Remember, don't use the word comps or comparables, just use the word "Data". "The Data shows...."
