Sell It! Effectively Convince Sellers They Need You To List Their Home

Hey ActiveRainers,

Tim here, summer going well? 
Just thought I'd share another quick, seller-oriented Script Of The Week.

If you're at a loss of how to convince homeowners to turn to you when they're ready to make a decision - this email (or phone) pitch really drives your message home (no pun intended).

Okay, okay. The subject line may be pushing it a little - but your goal is to get their attention, right? If you'd prefer a softer subject line, let me know and I'll send an alternative one your way, in a jiffy.

SL: You Need Me. Let's Maximize The Offer On Your Home.

Hey there ____,

It was nice meeting you the other day. I was wondering if you are you still interested in market conditions * and the what homes are selling for in your neighborhood?

There are many benefits to using a real estate agent but I wanted to share what usually happens when homeowners sell on their own:

•  Limits exposure of your listing to interested buyers to only people that drive by your home.
• Reduces the amount of offers you will get on your home.
• Forces you to sell at a price below market value.
• Leaves you open to liability and neglecting proper precautions when dealing with contracts, inspections and other procedures.
• Causes your property to stay on the market too long without getting offers which causes buyers to think something is wrong with the home.
