She loves to door knock.
Rachel believes that many agents fall flat when they go door-to-door because they don’t come with value and aren’t ready to offer real-life help to homeowners with questions and market concerns.
By coming with value, and recognizing the kind of help they need — in downsizing, upsizing or going a different route — Rachel’s team finds success when they go door knocking.
Rachel’s magical door knocking script and flyer
When it comes to a door knocking script, Rachel and her team keep it simple. They first create a Just Sold flyer that shows their last property that went into multiple offers. Here’s a recent example that shows the details of the five offers they received on the listing:
Next, they proceed with a very basic script that expands on the info found on the flyer:
“Hi I’m Rachel Adams with Keller Williams Realty. I just wanted to stop by to let you know that I just sold the property down the corner from you, 123 Main Street. It actually sold for $19,000 over asking and we had five offers on the property. So, that means a couple things.
"First, it means that there are four buyers who are approved in a good price point. This house sold for $500,000 — so there are four people approved for half-a-million-dollar home, who are still looking for a home.
"Secondly it means that prices are going up in your neighborhood. Because of that, a lot of your neighbors want to know what their house is worth. Do you want in on that list?”
Why this door knocking script works
As Rachel notes, her last sentence is a passive final call to action, which is in direct opposition to the hard-sell tactics you may have learned when you were first coached on door knocking.
Instead of trying to win the client right then and there, Rachel’s agents simply try to make a connection and get the homeowner to view them as an expert with information they want and don’t currently have.
The result? From that one door knocking session, which took Rachel’s team just two hours to complete, they landed one listing and three prospects who are in the “nurture” phase. Not bad for a few hours’ work!
