IN PARTNERSHIP WITH MONEY

GO BEYOND HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE WITH A HOME WARRANTY

If you’re a homeowner, you know unexpected expenses are par for the course. One way to help shield your finances is to get a home warranty.

Unlike homeowners insurance, which covers natural disasters and theft, a home warranty could help safeguard you against costly repairs of eligible essential home appliances and systems due to normal wear and tear.

Check out Money’s list of the Best Home Warranties and take the sting out of appliance breakdowns.

MASTER THE TALK: REAL ESTATE SUCCESS STARTS HERE

1️⃣ Listen to Understand, Not Just to Respond

• Dive Deep into Their Needs: Use buyer and seller pre-qualification scripts to uncover your client's desires. Think of yourself as a detective, piecing together clues to get the full picture. Listen attentively and take detailed notes of their responses.

• Interview Both Partners: When working with a couple, interview each person separately to ensure they’re on the same page. It’s like playing matchmaker but for dream homes!

• Ask Probing Questions: The more you learn before working together, the smoother the relationship and transaction will be. Always ask if there’s anything else you should have covered—because who wants surprises, right?

• Identify Priorities: By the end of the pre-qualification discussion, you should clearly understand what’s most important to your clients.

2️⃣ Clarify Communication Preferences

• Understand Their Preferred Method:Determine whether your clients prefer texting, emailing, meeting in person, or phone calls. If texting, clarify the platform (WhatsApp, Messenger, SMS). It’s like setting up a communication GPS to guide you through the process.

• Set Clear Rules: Avoid misunderstandings by establishing communication rules. When in doubt, default to in-person or phone communication and avoid negotiating over text.

3️⃣ Be the Solution, Not the Problem

• Minimize Stress: Real estate transactions are stressful, even for experienced clients. Show compassion without becoming overwhelmed by their emotions. Think of yourself as a real estate superhero swooping in to save the day!

• Communicate Frequently: Regular updates, even if there's no new information, reassure clients that you’re actively managing their deal. Because no news doesn’t have to be bad news.

• Stay Ahead: Over-communicate and anticipate needs to demonstrate your value and leadership, leading to more repeat and referral business.

 4️⃣ Be a Problem Solver When Things Go Sideways

• Report with Solutions: Never deliver bad news. Always follow up with three possible solutions. Be the wise owl in the real estate forest.

• Provide Reassurance: For example, if a property inspection reveals issues, remind clients this is normal and present several ways to address the problems. Think of it as turning lemons into lemonade.

• Maintain Composure: Stay calm and be a steady presence in stressful situations. Be the lighthouse in the storm.

5️⃣ Watch Your Language (words matter!)

• No Swearing: Even if your client swears like a sailor, maintain professionalism. Remember, you’re the classy captain of this ship.

• Use Logical Language: In stressful situations, rely on logical rather than emotional language. Be the Mr. Spock of real estate.

• Be Factual: Avoid speculation and words like “guess,” “suppose,” or “maybe.” Promise to follow up once you have more precise information.

• Regroup When Necessary: If you need a moment, say something like, “I’m about to lose reception for a couple of minutes. I’ll call you right back.” Use the break to formulate a clear plan before continuing the conversation. Think of it as a quick pit stop before returning to the race.

REMEMBER 📍

Implementing these strategies will enhance client communication, strengthen relationships, and result in more successful transactions. Enjoy the journey as you guide your clients to their real estate dreams!
