YOUR SCRIPT
Hi! My name is Rick with Century 21. I am calling
Because studies show that most renters would rather be
homeowners. They are tired of wasting their money and
making the land lord rich. If you could rent a bigger home for
the same or less than you pay in rent, wouldn’t you?

My goal is to help you find the home of your dreams. I want to make sure that I only show you homes that meet your specific criteria. I call these the “DREAM MAKERS.”
Of Course, I also want to make that I DO NOT show you anything you don’t want to see. So if there are features that you want to specifically avoid, DEAL BREAKERS, please let me know about
these and I will avoid them at all costs.
So let’s start with the basics: (DIG DEEP! Find the Pain!!)
Tell me about why you are moving and what you want in a home.
Area of town that is a MUST!
Is it important that we are in a specific school district? Which one and why?
Do you want to be close to work? Where is that?
Just to be clear, we want ____ school district and not too far away from your job at ____, correct?
What do you ABSOLUTELY have to have in a home?
I am sure you have had experiences with your past homes that you would like to avoid. What would you say are DEAL BREAKERS or things we should stay away from when looking for your home?
What is the VERY MOST you are willing to pay per month on the home of your dreams?
Please keep in mind that I will do my best to avoid the deal breakers and I will NEVER show you home that is more than you wish you wish to pay.

Buyers will look at 100 homes before they buy... if you let them. This is a HUGE decision for them
and there are just SO MANY HOMES TO CHOOSE FROM. They are afraid that they will "settle" if
they don't see everything available. As a real estate agent, you must know how to handle this
concern. You will waste countless hours and dollars in gas if you do not CONTROL THE SALE.
Allowing the clients browse on their own, agents miss buying signs, body language, opportunity to
ask "tie down" questions such as "does this feel like home?" or "can you see yourself living here?"
A buyer's fear will kick in and, even though this home may be perfect, they will want to see more
because they are frightened. The buyer may something like "I don't think we have seen enough
homes yet." This is not a true objection, it is a stall. Here is how you can handle this:
“John, Mary, I feel that you’re a little apprehensive because we found a great
home so quickly. I don’t blame you for that. I hope you realize, though, in
scouring the area for homes, I used your idea of the perfect home to narrow
down the search. Rather than show you all of the homes available, I decided to
show you only those homes that meet your wants, needs and budget. In
watching you preview this property, I could see you were envisioning your
family living here. That’s why I’d like you to consider placing an offer on this
particular property rather than wasting your time searching and maybe lose this
home that you really like."
They want the home. They don’t want to lose this home to someone else. It is just that their
emotions are jumbled up. As a good sales person, you will help your client make a choice that they
want to make. You are the trusted professional. Your advice can calm them down so they can make
the right decision.
