I was recently down in Las Vegas at a conference with my good friend, Anthony Lamacchia from Lamacchia Real Estate Group out of Boston. A few weeks ago, Anthony met with my team and taught them a lot of great tips. Their favorite tip was the simplest one: the double dial.

According to Anthony, this is the simplest thing to do. It requires no skill. If a lead doesn’t pick up, hang up and hit them with a redial. If you’re feeling really daring, try the triple dial.

I Broke My Rule

I broke one of my cardinal rules over the weekend. Here’s where I messed up.

Here’s a rule that I broke last week: Never do a listing presentation without all decision-makers in attendance.

Last week, I was called in by one of my agents to help assist her with a listing appointment. The husband and wife were interviewing nine different agents. As they were showing us the house, the wife had to take a call. We got into the listing presentation, but I asked the husband if he wanted to wait for his wife. 

He said to go ahead and start without her. Right at that point, I wanted to reschedule, but he said that they really wanted to make a decision that weekend. We went ahead and did it and at the end of the presentation, he said they would talk about it over the weekend and get back to me.

You never want to present to just one decision maker.

”

We got a call back over the weekend saying they decided to go with someone else. When we asked what the determining factor was, he said it was the commission. He went with an agent who had a lower commission so they could get every penny they could out of their home.

You never want to present to just one decision maker. Whoever is going to assist in the final decision needs to be present. Every time I break this rule, there’s a much higher chance I don’t get a listing.
