Hi Richie Alan Naggar 

   This "bad mouthing an agent" is typical when dealing with an expired listing. 

    I flip it back on the Seller.  "First, tell me again what you think went wrong.  What do you feel that agent should have done, or did not do, to get your property sold?"

         Let them talk it out.   Then tell them how and why YOU are going to get their house sold.

I have a Top 10 Reasons to List With Mike handout which I had profesionally printed.  .   I recently added that I sell my listings 6.6x faster than the MLS average, and for more money.

Fred Griffin Florida Real Estate nailed it. Sometimes you are best off taking a pass.

Ah, Richie, much like the colors of the rainbow, the answer to that is as varied and unique as the prospects who ask it. Too many witty retorts to parade here, but rest assured, they’re just as colorful.

As I mentioned in your previous question, people who called me most likely have either been referred by someone who know and highly trusts me or they've read my info online and like what I have to say. They call to hire me-  not 'if' they should hire me.  Don't recall anybody ever asking me, Why should I hire you?

Ah, the secret sauce, Mr. Richie Alan Naggar 

I use a straight forward approach but do know that some people will gripe no matter what. Example: NAR lawsuit.

When faced with the tough question, “Why should I hire you?” it’s essential to deliver a confident and personalized response. This question gives you a chance to stand out in a crowded field. Focus on the unique value you bring to the table. 

Highlight your deep understanding of your client's needs. By listening closely, you craft strategies that align with their goals and desires. You ensure they felt heard and valued throughout the process, making it a partnership rather than a transaction.

Next, emphasize your commitment to communication. Clients want transparency and updates. Assuring them you’ll keep them informed every step of the way can set you apart. This commitment creates trust and reassures clients they won't be left in the dark.

Also, share your proven track record. Use specific examples of past successes. Demonstrating results speaks volumes. Perhaps you successfully navigated challenges that others couldn’t. Sharing measurable results can foster confidence in your capabilities.

Additionally, discuss your extensive knowledge of the local market. Clients appreciate someone who knows their area inside and out. This localized expertise allows you to offer valuable insights that can lead to better decisions.

Moreover, make it personal. Let them know your passion for helping clients. When you genuinely care about their success, it shows. Passion and enthusiasm can make a significant difference in client relationships.

Addressing the concerns of clients who have had negative experiences with agents is crucial. Reassure potential clients that you prioritize their satisfaction above all else. A commitment to ethical practices and client advocacy can alleviate fears. Highlighting that you wish to create a positive experience can make all the difference.

Finally, invite questions. Opening the floor encourages conversation and allows potential clients to express any concerns they may have. Responding thoughtfully can demonstrate your dedication and readiness to help them.

In conclusion, your answer to “Why should I hire you?” should focus on your unique strengths, commitment to clear communication, and passion for client success. By crafting a response that resonates personally, clients will see you as the agent who can truly make a difference.

In my case, I offer a comprehensive approach to selling homes. My unique combination of skills (real estate agent, home stager, and photographer) ensures that each listing not only stands out, but is also supported by a strong understanding of the market and a commitment to client satisfaction.
