Fsbo's are still a great source to prospect - every day!

By
Education & Training with Fsbo HotSheet LLC

Here's a great quote to get you started:

"The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power."

-- Hugh White, U.S. Senator

Ok, Fsbo's (For Sale By Owner's).  They are still trying and failing!  Did yu know that 86% of Fsbo's eventually list thier home with an agent? 

Why isn't it with you?  Here are some great question to ask yourself.

1.  Don't you prospect new Fsbo's daily?  Yes daily!

2.  Do you following up with the Fsbo leads you have seen or called in the past?  If so, how often?

3.  Are you trying to list the Fsbo's over the phone on the first call to them?  If yes, big mistake!  Good luck, you'll need it because 99.99% will not be lsiting right away.

4.  Are you sending a letter, popcorn or a magnet, and waiting for them to call you?  Not a great strategy, to be more blunt - it's a complete waist of time and money!

5.  Are you 100% comfortable when calling a Fsbo?  If not you need great training - immediately!  Otherwise, you'll stumble and your confidence will be crushed quickly.

Call or email me for a great script we give to our customers  - one that works and one that you can do immediately...without reading it 100 times.

Have an outstanding day - you deserve it.

Dean

How could a call script work? There is a national do not call list. You can't cold call people anymore.

I disagree with this, for sale by owners, in our area and in my experience are usually totally overpriced and for the longest time they seam to have the attitude of  "I can be a Realtor, nothing to it" unless they get frustrated and see that their approach is not working, they are very difficult and depressing to work with and I rather work with people that have a better understanding of the real estate market and all the thing involved in a purchases or sale. Guess like everybody else they need to learn their lesson before they appreciate all we can do to help them sell their home. At this time, ok. they are ready and so am I. Also, what are we thinking trying to get the business from a FSBO. these sellers made it pretty clear that they do not want our help at the moment. So for me is is a sign of respect NOT to call them
