FSBO Call Script SoR Script I see you have a property for sale at. I am a Real Estate Agent that specializes in (Area). Our markedng is always driving buyers to us, in fact we have a database of acdve buyers looking for homes. I would like to see the property to see if the features of the property match the list of features my buyers are looking for. Is this adernoon or tomorrow beber for you?

FSBO: I DON T WANT TO PAY COMMISSION Don t want to pay a commission If you were to get an offer from a buyer with an agent would you pay them a commission? (to find out if they are opposed to paying any agent) Yes Great, What I hear is you are not opposed to paying an agent with a buyer. You feel you can market your property yourself and get top dollar. The issue is it takes more than markedng to get top dollar (Go to car script) Car Script: If you were to buy a brand new car today and drive it home. If you were to place it in your driveway today and try to sell it how much would you get for the car? 100%? (Wait for them to reply) No, probably 80% Now if you drove the car back to the dealership and parket it right back on the lot where you bought it how much would they sell the car for? (Wait for them to reply) 95% Exactly! Why?... because buyers expect to pay more when a sales person is involved this is exactly why homes sell for more money when they are working with a strong agent like me. In fact, you may be missing out on the Top Price simply because you don t have a sales person involved.
FSBO: NEEDS ANALYSIS How many calls did you receive last week? How many were agents looking to get your lisdng? How many were buyers? How many came to visit? I find that there are four types of buyers: TYPES OF BUYERS Investors; there are many seminars today to teach Investors how to buy homes from Sellers for pennies on the dollar. Some of them are experts at taking advantage of Sellers. I protect my sellers from vultures like these. Lookers; these are people that just like to see homes for fun! They aren t in the market to buy oden Dmes they don t have the ability to qualify. They are just wasdng your Dme. Professional agents won t show these people homes. Serious but Not Ready; these are real buyers but they have to sell a home first, or get their new job offer before they can make an offer on a property. Professional agents will wait to show them homes undl they are ready and able to make an offer. Serious and Ready; these buyers are acdvely looking, they have their home sold or are here for just a few days and they have to find a home and get under contract in just a few days. Therefore they are prepared to pay Top Dollar. Serious buyers don t have Dme to look around by themselves and make muldple offers with difficult negodadons. They need to get a home ASAP! Serious Buyers work with agents to efficiently get access to as many available homes, to make offers without having to negodate commissions, and to have a professional handle the contracts. Agents Don t Show FSBOs The problem is many agents won t show homes that are For Sale by Owner. The reason is agents have to be able to show several homes in a short period of Dme and as you can imagine coordinadng the showings with the homeowners directly can be challenging. Agents don t want to negodate the commission in the offer. Agents fear the commission negodadon may prevent the buyer from ge[ng the home. When a home is offered on the MulDple LisDng Service the commission is discretely offered no maber what the final sales price is. Agents don t want to subject themselves or the buyer to unpredictable sellers. Professional agents follow an edquebe and professional standards to insure the sale goes smoothly. Agents have found that dealing with some sellers directly can be an unpredictable and emodonal experience.
