Listing Presentations: Six Key Tips to Help You Hit the Target

By
Education & Training with MyOutDesk

 

A listing presentation could make or break you moving a prospect towards a close. Many Real Estate Agents can verify the frustration losing a listing presentation can bring, given all the work that goes into creating one. You may have utilized the strengths of your team, your in-house or Virtual Assistant and go into the presentation feeling great. However, how can you guarantee that you hit that target?

Click here to download, a Listing Presentation created by one of our very own rockstar MyOutDesk Real Estate Virtual Assistants, which helped a top producing agent, Knolly Williams win more listings.

Also, below are six key tips for creating your Listing Presentation:

1.       Do Your Research - Become completely familiar with your prospect’s needs. Have your Virtual Assistant take the time to truly find out what the client truly wants. Know the client’s motivations. This is crucial in putting together your presentation as you want to be able to hit the points that will encourage them to go with you.

2.       Have a Strong Opening - You have a very small margin of time to grab your audience’s attention and make them want to give you their full attention. In addition, make sure that the surroundings are in good condition. Your prospects need to be comfortable and ready to listen to what you have to say.

3.       Present Benefits Before Price - While price is definitely a key factor whilst you are presenting, make sure that each benefit is stressed before mentioning the price. Make sure to mention those points that will appeal to their wants and needs, if they are thoroughly impressed or interested, then the price will be easier to digest.

4.       Limit Your Comparables - Comparables are important but limit them in your presentation to 2 or 3, as you do not want to inundate your prospects with too much information, it may cause you to lose their attention and they might miss other important points you want to drive home.

5.       Risk Free Guarantee - Make your prospects feel safe. Drive the point home by showing them that while you are eager to provide your services, you are in no way “holding them hostage.” This will keep them more relaxed and less afraid to commit to you.

6.       Emphasize the Value YOU Bring - Find ways to be unique that are in tune with your style and personality. Add little personal touches to your presentation that will show truly show

your prospects that you are the best person for the job. Make them feel that by choosing you and your team, they not only get a property or whatnot, but someone dedicated to giving them exactly what they want and need.

With your busy schedule, it may seem like a daunting task to hit all the points mentioned above. You could have a MyOutDesk Real Estate Virtual Assistant who can create these kinds of presentations for you and much, much more. Provided with the basic information and a clear picture of what you want, you can focus on other details and have your Virtual Assistant create exactly what you are looking for, you can prepare yourself and walk into those listing presentations and close the deal.

Just tried to download your presentation and even though I filled in all the required fields, after I click on Download the Presentation, I get a message that "This is a required field"....

Each 'presentation' is so different. I'm always prepared, but every single time, it's this: how well do I click with the client and visa versa?  What's the vibe? Is there a connection?  We go over stats, tour the house, I give suggestions--but it boils down to trust and connection as well as what I can do for them.

I don't rely on bells and whistles although I have the high tech presentation. I am more focused on the connection Mary Hutchison, SRES, ABR mentioned.

I like this straighforward approach Jason.  Show the client that you are ready, willing and able to present their home in the best possible light.

Excellent points.  I have been a little off the mark on a couple of these, so I will make a change or two to improve my presentation.

Well I downloaded it.  It looks interesting.  I am good with numbers but I wonder if too many numbers don't confuse rather than inform.  As a small one man shop not sure that presentation would work for me.

I think back, and years ago when I made my first listing presentation, it lasted 3 hours, I am still trying to recover.

I used to be like Jim Miner and came so prepared that I almost blew away the prospective seller.  As the years have seasoned me I now come very prepared and it's easy to tell right away if we click ... that's half the battle. Most of my clients come to me via a referral from a past satisfied buyer or seller or they have found me on-line and already seem to know alot about me and they are just wanting my opinion and expertise in staging, and pricing ... so it's just a matter of paperwork and then I'm off to the races to get their listing out to the masses.  Thank you for your post ... it just reminded me that I'm doing everything that is necessary in my area and for what my clients expect.

I agree with both of you. I used to bring a formal listing presentation, although it wasn't as long as Jim's. The game has changed and most sellers can see that our MLS feeds all end up in the same place from a marketing stand point. They want a Realtor that's professionally "tough", fair and honest.....someone that has their back while at the same time being able to negotiate calmly with the prospective buyer's agent.

Jason - Thanks for sharing this information. You have provided some great ideas on what to include in a listing presentation.

By the way, I think I figured out why some of you couldn't download the listing presentation. In the phone number section, you have to make sure you leave out the dashes and just enter the numbers.
