Taking the anxiety out of the sale.......Prescription medication and other ice breakers!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Mission Grove Realty Inc.

I thought I would share something that all of our clients appreciate and get a little laugh out of. There has been no better  tool for breaking the ice!

Anxiety, realtor tools, perscription to better sales, mission grove realtyaxiety control, sellers save their sanity, mission grove realty, hemet real estate tools

"prescription" reads:

HOME BUYERS AND SELLERS:

Take 1 when symptoms of anxiety arise and call your Realtor in the morning.

REFILLS: Unlimited until the close of escrow.

Mission Grove Realty: Your prescription for a more enjoyable experience.

We use prescription bottles that can be found easily on the web and designed the label in Corel. We print on plain paper in color and then attach with regular clear packing tape and fill with fun size wrapped candies. Cheap, easy and fun! (TLW) I wont take the credit for this one. My mother, who has been a Realtor for over 30 years has used this since the 70's. I have just updated and elaborated on it a bit.

Do you have something simple that you use to break the ice?

Please, share it with us!

cute idea.  I do a similiar thing with m&m's tell them to take two and remember "how sweet it is" when they get buyer's remorse.

Scott: I guess that you could determine the extent of that Realtors problem by how many deals they close....

I liked that movie.  Deal closed and recorded today, despite the efforts of a crooked lender, a dishonest title company, a lender acting as a listing agent without a clue.......................

No blue pill needed, but there is a glass (maybe 2) of wine with my name on it.
