BUILDER & NEW HOME SALES SCRIPT Hello (name). This is (name) with Blue Marlin Real Estate. How are you today? Great! (Name), I am calling to see if you and I can help each other. Do you have a moment? Excellent! I was curious... do you have any homes that you could close if the buyers didn’t have a home to sell? Great! Do you know if those buyers are currently listed?

SELLER EQUITY Hi (name), it’s (name) with Blue Marlin Real Estate... how are you today? I wanted to personally call to let you know that You’ve Done Great.... I’ll explain! House prices in (area/community X) are skyrocketing... have you had any thoughts in cashing out on all the equity you have earned and finally move to (desired area, bigger house, water, beach, land, etc).

We spoke (time frame or location or introduction) about your desire to (buy/invest) ... and ... I’m following up as promised... Do you know what interest rates are currently doing right now? Do you know how that has completely changed your purchasing power for the better? OR Are you aware of how much you will be saving on your monthly mortgage by using today’s rates vs (whenever they spoke with a lender prior)

LISTING ATTRACTION SCRIPTS Hi my name is (name) with Blue Marlin Real Estate, how are you today? Great! I am out here in (neighborhood/community) today to let you know that we just listed and sold your neighbors house at (address). (address) got (X) showings, (Y) offers... Are you aware that the market is shifting under your feet? Prices are going up, inventory is going down... I am telling you this because the inventory of homes in (neighborhood/community) is at an all time low. If you have thought about selling now is the time. (Let them talk)

OBJECTION HANDLING “How about if I sign your agreement after we go out one or two times?” I hear you ... in that case... let’s sign a one party showing agreement on the homes you’d like to see ... it’s done everyday in real estate ... let me grab that. “I have a friend in the business who will give me a discount commission. Will you do the same?” No ... I would suggest working with your friend instead... (pause) ...(Name), I’m curious ... is your friend willing to do all the extra work I’m willing to do? And do they have my contacts, resources and skills? “My listing agent is giving me a point back if I buy a home through him. Will you do the same? If not, why should I use you?” Simple ... Your listing agent is busy working to get your home sold ... I’m going to put my aggressive marketing plan to work to find your home ... besides ... my commission is paid by the seller ... okay? “I don’t want to commit to one person right now.” I hear that a lot ... and guess what ... most people start by talking to lots of agents ... until they find one who clearly stands out ... (Name) ... based on everything I’ve shown you ... do you believe I can find, negotiate and get you into your new home? Then put me to work! “I’m not buying for another three to six months.” Great, then it is an excellent time to do some research together. We’ll have time to get to know each other. “What if we don’t like each other after we are working together?“ I can appreciate that... and my experience is the only way this will happen is if we are not in constant communication and open and honest about what’s important ... does that make sense? “I haven’t had a chance to interview anyone else. I’d like to take some time and see what other options I have.” I welcome it. Take your time to make sure you are making the best possible decision for you. (Help them to understand the difference between you and using a listing/buyer agent. Help them to understand the game plan, representation, negotiating skills and the time you can devote to them.) “I have to keep my promise to a friend or previous agent I talked to/bought the home from.” That’s great, I can appreciate your loyalty and that is a quality that I respect in people ... so I’m curious let me ask you this ... has there ever been a time when you decided to buy something or do something and because a friend said, hey no problem, when you need help, I can do it and in the end, because you didn’t check around, you really didn’t get what you wanted ... have you ever been there before? (Yes) Well this time is just like that time, and with that in mind, I’m sure you can see the importance of having me over just to give you a second opinion ... that wouldn’t hurt anything, would it? “Why is your price so much lower than the other agents that we have talked to ... they have comps that are higher than yours?” (Yes, why is that?) It is kind of confusing isn’t it? I mean, you interview four agents and you get four different prices ... right? You are probably thinking, why did this person come in with such a low price? Doesn’t he want my listing? Well my answer is yes and no.

You see there is a very big difference in the way that I operate and the way most agents operate. Most agents manipulate the computer to show figures that they think you want to hear and you probably want to know why. Well most agents, don’t do a lot of business. Getting your listing makes them feel like they are accomplishing something... Whereas, I on the other hand do over 150 sales per year by telling nice people like you the truth. OR There is a very simple reason; do you want to hear it? Most agents do not have many listings. Therefore, convincing you to list your home with them becomes very important. That’s why they’ll tell you whatever price they think you want to hear, even if they know six months from now, you will not be happy with them at all because no buyers will look at a house that is overpriced... does that make sense? My comps show the price I have indicated. I will take the listing if you will agree and sign an acknowledgment form tonight that you will reduce your home to my price in 30 days. I would rather you turn down 10 offers than never get one. They emphasize listed prices. All I am concerned about is what is sold and closed. You wouldn’t want to base your price on erroneous info, would you? There are two ways to price your home... You can list it where it sits or you can list it where it sells. Which is better for you? “I want to find a house before I put mine on the market.” I agree, finding your new home is important and the unfortunate thing is it may take as long as 3 to 5 months for your home to sell. Then it will take another month to get the closing done and by that time, any home that you would have found will likely already be sold. Does that make sense? Let’s get your home on the market right now and get to work on getting your home sold so you don’t have to wait any longer than is necessary to get moved into your new home ... sound good? OR Terrific! Have you seen a home you want to put a contract on? (No) Great let me go ahead a schedule a time with my buyer agent so they can help you find the perfect home. In the mean time I can be working on getting your home sold that way when we get a contract on your home we can put in a contract on your #1 choice - close both homes the same day and ... move only once. Won’t that be great? “We aren’t quite ready yet, we need to finish a couple of projects around the house before we put it on the market.” I agree that making sure the house is up to par is important and you probably didn’t realize how little effect it will have on securing a buyer... Let’s get your home listed for sale, get some of the top brokers inside to show the house and get their feedback. The good news is you’ll find out exactly what projects you don’t have to do and the ones you need to do while were in the escrow period. It sure would be nice to not have to spend a dime to get your home sold... wouldn’t it? (Yes)

Great, which would be better for you, tonight at (time) or (time)? OR Great, why don’t we complete the paperwork now and while you are doing your projects, I’ll get the flyer done and paperwork processed so when you are ready, I will be ready too! We can begin showing in 2-3 weeks. “We still need to interview one more agent” (Even after they promised you were the last) This is not the real objection. They are saying to you ... ”We don’t see why we should pay you money to sell our home... that’s why you should leave.” We must flush out the real objection. Start like this: You know...I can appreciate the fact that you want another opinion, and the fact I was told that I would be the last agent interviewed only tells me one thing? Can I share it with you? (Yes) Somewhere, Somehow, I have not completely convinced you that I can sell your home. So tell me... What is it, specifically, that is stopping you from putting me to work tonight? [THIS SHOULD GET THE REAL OBJECTION] OR I can appreciate that before we met today, that you set up another appointment with another Realtor. I’m sure you will agree that my qualifications will be tough to beat. Let’s get your home on the market tonight. I’ll be happy to call the agent, cancel your appointment and it will be one less delay in getting your home sold. OR Agents work together. I will call him tonight and let him know that we listed the home and we will give him the first shot at it with his buyers before we put it in the MLS. “We want to compare what you are saying to other Realtors” Great! I think that is one of the best things that you could do and before I go... Tell me, what is it specifically that is stopping you from picking up that pen and signing your home with me? (We’re just a little shocked by the price) Hey, I understand and let me ask you this... If I can help you to realize that your home will not sell for a dollar more than what I have told you... If you felt completely satisfied that it was true... would you still want to waste your valuable time talking to another Realtor or would you just list with me tonight? “Well, I guess if we felt comfortable, we would list with you tonight” Great! “We want to try selling it ourselves” I totally understand the thought of trying to get a home sold yourself... I mean, let’s face it... saving that commission can mean some good money in your pocket... right? (Right) So I’m curious, are you familiar with the difference between passive and active marketing? (No) Real quick... Passive marketing is basically sitting around doing nothing like, holding open houses, sending out flyers or advertising in the newspaper...

Were you thinking about doing any of these things? (Yeah) I was afraid of that! These methods only work about 25% of the time! Yet, agents sell this concept as if this was the answer to all your problems... right? (Right) Which then makes you think well, what’s so hard about that... I could do that... right? (Right) The problem is... this doesn’t get a home sold anymore... Do you understand now what I mean by passive... sitting around with your fingers crossed... waiting for the buyer? Active Marketing, on the other hand, is literally getting on the phone every single day and personally contacting as many people as I can 25, 50, even 100 a day. The key is... asking them if they would like to buy your home, if they know someone who would like to buy your home, or if they would like to sell their home. Do you know why I ask if they would like to sell their home? Because the more signs I have the more buyer’s calls I get to show your home... Does that make sense? Now... Which way passive or active do you believe will get your home sold? And you understand that I am doing active marketing on you as we speak, right? So, how many people do you think you could call a day to try and get your home sold... and by the way have you ever done telephone soliciting before? OR You can try it. Lots of people do. It is like going to Las Vegas. Millions of people go, and every now and then someone hits the jackpot, but the vast majority of people lose money or Las Vegas wouldn’t be there. Every now and then a seller hits the jackpot, but the vast majority needs a Realtor or the real estate industry wouldn’t be here. OR Let’s talk, okay? (Name), you are an attorney and try cases in court daily. I can’t imagine walking in and trying the case myself. I am a professional real estate agent. I know what I am doing. I am here to release you from the extra stress. I have a record 98.8% full contracts. I earn my commission. I bring you top dollar. I close the deal. “We have a good friend in the business.” I can appreciate that, almost everybody does, so when would you like to see how 85% of the homes I list sell and why only 40% of the homes listed with other agents sell. Which is better for you, (time) or (time). OR Your friends will want the very best for your correct? (Yes) I will be happy to call them for you. OR Are you willing to jeopardize your friendship? You owe your friend, friendship. You owe me nothing. But you owe yourself the best. Don’t you want the best agent working for you? “We’ll list after the holidays.” I think that is perfectly valid and tell me how many days during November and December are you going to want all to yourselves? (About 10) 10, that’s great. So, I guess my question is this... If I promise to keep everyone out of your hair for those 10 days... would you still want to compete with the low volume of property currently on the market or that massive amount that will come on the market immediately after the holidays? OR Let’s get a jump start on our competition. Why not complete the paperwork now, and I begin to premarket your home and begin to line up buyers. So when you are ready, we’ll be ahead of the other sellers that are just getting started.

“We want to wait for the market to come back before we try and sell it again.” Can you get around the fact that they don’t want to sell? No! But, and I mean BUT, you may want to keep digging and see if they have an underlying motivation that we don’t know about that is forcing them to sell now! The fact is... if you don’t know how to match peoples communication patterns, they often times won’t feel comfortable telling you the truth and so you need to dig more! “We have a unique home; the right buyer just hasn’t come through yet!” You’re right. You do have a unique home and I hate to tell you this... but at this price, we will probably never get the right buyer in here... may I tell you why? (Yes) 90% of all buyers are represented by real estate agents... and real estate agents will qualify the buyer to find out how much they want to spend, how many bedrooms, how many bathrooms, what amenities they want and so on... The problem is, the unique qualities of your home do not show up on the computer where the real estate agents get their information. Meaning that based on your price, the number of bedrooms, baths and amenities you will not get anyone here to appreciate the unique qualities. No matter how hard I market to these agents, in their mind, it isn’t the best buy on the market, they feel they are not serving their clients .. Do you see my point? OR That’s the very reason you need me to maximize your exposure and get enough buyers through that will squeeze out a buyer that wants something different. Buyers are not looking for unique homes, they are looking for the best priced homes. “We’re already committed to another agent.” Great! So, you have already signed a listing agreement? (Well, no) So you are not committed, you are just promised...right? (Right) I’m okay if you don’t list your home with me... however if you’re thinking of interviewing more agents for the job of selling your home... it is vitally important that you understand the different marketing approaches so you don’t get burned the next time. Now you don’t want to get burned again do you? So let me ask you... do you know the difference between passive and active marketing? (No) (See previous two pages for passive and active marketing)
