We Got This Long Island Listing Because We Gave Them A Lower Price

By
Real Estate Agent with The Top Team @ Charles Rutenberg Realty 255 Executive Dr, Plainview NY 11803
In Real Estate, we never know where our next listing is going to come from. 

A referral, our website, mailings, our yard signs, ActiveRain...we just 
never know.

We are getting a new listing from sellers we never thought we would hear 
from again.

The story goes like this...
 
We met with Mr & Mrs Homeowner 4 months ago. They were "interviewing" other Realtor's, which we didn't know about beforehand.

After showing us around, they didn't have patience and told us to "cut to 
the chase" and asked what were we going to list their house for. At this point we knew they were just looking for the highest number they could get and 
were not interested in Larry & Sheila, or our marketing, or our experience, or our 
knowledge...All they wanted was the price!

Larry & I looked at each other and then Larry said...
 
"You obviously are only interested in a "number" and not how we can sell your house for the highest market value, with the least amount of stress, in the quickest amount of time".
 
Seller: "We want the highest price a Realtor is going to give us and not how you're going to earn your commission"

Sheila: "A Realtor can give you any price you want to hear...Not 
what a buyer will eventually pay for it".

We left saying goodbye and good luck ~

Four Months Later...

Hi Larry & Sheila, You were right (ahhh, don't you love hearing this)

We were very happy when another Agent gave us a high price to list our house. As a matter of fact we were ecstatic. Unfortunately, no one ever came to our front door! We are ready to listen to you and start the house selling process all over.

Will you take our listing now?

 
Moral of the story...Don't be afraid not to get a listing. We Got This Listing Because We Gave Them A Lower Selling Price ~

Getting results w/ knowledge & know-how!

Exactly!!!!  "When you're REALISTICALLY ready to sell..."  I love that!   One of my recent listings came after a round of interviews that left me giving the owners the lowest recommended list price.  They hired me because I seemed to have the most realistic knowledge of the market.  Yup! And that house is now under contract.  ;)

Good for you Larry and Sheila.  And, a lesson learned the hard way by these sellers.

Great story, Sheila and Larry. This has happened to me more than once. I love being the second agent in when the sellers get "real" and humble. They are so much more appreciative of what we bring to the table at that point.

Good morning Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400 ,

For some sellers it's all about the list price and not what the market says at a certain time on the price of a home. It' always better to not take the listing and when it doesn't sell..be called back!

Sheila and Larry, I think it's really nice they admitted you were right. Sometimes we never hear that even when it's the case. These sellers learned the hard way but, now they will get lots of showings and be under contract very soon with your marketing leading the way.
