Learning to truly listen is one of the most important skills we can learn that will benefit us in our business lives as well as our personal lives. It takes practice but once it is mastered, you will be amazed at how much you learn from others and how they enjoy being around you too.

Do You Hear What I Hear - The Art of Listening is not an app for your iPaDo You Hear What I Hear - The Art of Listeningd or other tablet, it’s not a CD to listen to, it’s not a DVD, or computer software program. The art of listening is a skill you must learn as a real estate agent in order to be the best you can be. People love to be listened to and they can tell when you're not listening. Are you listening when the client tells you about the last agent she used. It’s important not to make the same mistakes he/she made. Can you distinguish what she’s saying from what she really means? (Don't get involved with the criticism, just listen).


There are tons of books (Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracy, Tom Hopkins come to mind) and cd’s, programs on the web, spend time doing some research and practice, practice, practice. I know it feels funny to practice but if you listen to or read some of the best, you will learn that practice makes perfect.


I also know that many of you will say you don’t like to use a “canned”
Do You Hear What I Hear - The Art of Listeningpresentation, so what do you use? Fly by the seat of your pants presentations don’t work to anyone's advantage. Know what your are going to say and how you are going to say it.  Yes, you will need to answer some questions that you weren’t prepared for but take a moment to think about the answer, don’t just whiz something off the top of your head. You might be wrong.

 

Listening is an Art and a highly desirable skill to learn.

The art of listening is so important.  I do have a canned presentation although it sounds very natural as I created it myself.  I know some agents purchase presentation material from gurus, however I believe that something which you create yourself is much easier to remember and much more natural.
