Expired Listings-->Don't let them go

This works if the sellers feel that you have done what's best for them.  If they are not letting your firm re-list the property because they feel that you contributed to the home not selling, then why should they trust you with a referral?

Dear Richard,  I have done this successfully, also have found agents in the area that belong to a board I don't and share listings with them it gets the most exposure and makes us more powerful in a persentation.   Thanks for reminding us ! 

Hi Richard,

Interesting concept for sure. I feel mixed about it and skeptical after first reading, but after i thought about it for a few moments, I can see the possible good results. We all have a client that has exhausted us, and sometimes sellers need to hear it again from someone else who is fresh.

I'll let you know if I try it.

Thanks,

Frank J

I have a listing expiring next month and I'll be doing that mostly because I want my name off of it. It makes our reputation look bad

We have done this and it works. There are times when we just don't see eye to eye with our clients and know we don't want to continue to work with them. If we feel that we won't be the ones re-listing the home, we will proactively mention referring to another agent so we can get them in the door first before the seller brings someone else in.

I love working with expired listings...they have made up the majority of my listings this past year.
