Criteria Questions

Be willing to play the Hang-Up game. The first couple times you ask, you will
get a reflex-No. The more conversational you are, and the deeper you dig, the
higher the chance they will tell you their true plans to sell.

 Nurture Criteria Questions
1. Motivation – What’s got you thinking about making a move? (Dig 3 layers deep)
i. What will that do for you?
ii. What’s important about that to you?
iii. Tell me more about that
b. Motivation must be REAL and not just wanting to “test the market”
i. If price is the motivation. Dig Deeper.
1. What price would motivate you to make a move?
2. How much do you owe on the property?
3. What will you be using the proceeds from the sale?
ii. If a different/bigger/smaller Home is the motivation. Dig
Deeper.
1. What would your ideal home look like?
2. Will you want to stay in this area?
3. What do you like best about your current home?
4. What do you like least about your current home?
2. Time Frame – When do you see yourself being ready to make the move?

ii. Are there circumstances that would enable you to make this happen
sooner for you and your family?
iii. Are there circumstances that would prohibit you from making this
move happen?
3. Willing to Meet – I’m assuming you’re not already committed to another Realtor,
correct?
4. Contact info – I’m going to have my assistant send you our info just in case you
want to talk sooner. That way you’ll have it. What’s the best email address I can
send that to?

 Objections

 How did you get my number?
o You know, our technology team pulled this list together for me.
Somehow your number was associated with this address through public
records.
 If they are upset – [FIRST NAME], I understand. I will remove
your number right now and you won’t receive another call from
me.
If they are just curious – Continue to ask questions
 Are you a licensed Realtor?
o No, I assist a Realtor.
 I have an agent already.
o Have you signed a contract with them yet?
 If no – Great. I understand wanting to work with someone you
are already familiar with. Just out of curiosity, would that
relationship trump superior track record and skill?
 If yes – get off the phone
 If they ask real estate specific questions (Pricing/Tax
Information/Market Related Information).
o [FIRST NAME], since I assist the Realtor, it might make sense for me to
have them contact you directly to help out. In order to prepare them for
that conversation, (go back to the nurture criteria questions)

When the prospect continues to question you or be agitated, your ONLY response
should be humble, apologetic, and assuring that you won’t contact them again. Never
attempt to engage in debate with an upset prospect!

© 2015 CLME, LLC

 Tips
 If someone is really upset, and you are unable to calm a prospect down, let
them know your manager will call them.
 If someone is ready to meet and all nurture criteria is met, and they are ready
to list their home. Simply say: “It sounds like we should go ahead and meet
now. Are afternoons or evenings typically better for you?”
 SMILE. They can feel your energy.
 Avoid Filler Words. Um, you know, like… etc.
 When in doubt of what to say. ASK AN OPEN ENDED QUESTION!
 The prospect should be doing 80% of the talking. By asking questions you
control the conversation.

Intro Scripts

Hi, is this _______________? Hey __________________! My name is _________. I

am a Real Estate Professional, how are you doing today?

Great! Well the reason for my call is that I saw your home came off the market and I
wanted to find out if it is still available or if it actually sold.

When will you be looking to …HIRE THE RIGHT AGENT… for the job to sell
it?

Fantastic, well we specialize in selling homes that didn’t sell the first time AND I was
hoping you’d be free to… get together…for about 15 minutes or so to talk about why
your house didn’t sell and what needs to happen in order for it to sell at this point.

1. Which usually works better for you, weekdays or weekends? Mornings or

Afternoons? 2pm or 6pm?

2.b. Too soon of a close? Ask questions:

• Do you still NEED to sell your house?
• May I ask where you are moving to?
• How soon do you need to be there?
• Why did you first put your home on the market?
• Mr./Mrs. ___________ Why do YOU think that your home didn’t sell?
• How did you go about choosing the last agent you listed with?
• What did the agent do that you liked the best?
• What do you feel that they should have done?
• Minimum Standard, right, get the house sold? I’m sure that your agent worked
really hard to get your home sold … Right? I bet they even did everything they
know how to do to get it sold … wouldn’t you agree? And yet, it just didn’t
happen …
• You know, I’m convinced it’s not for a lack of effort. You know, it’s more
likely in the approach. You simply need a different approach. That’s exactly
why we need to get together.

FSBO Scripts
 Hello is this ____________________? Hey ____________________, my
name is Tim Heyl and I sell real estate with Keller Williams. I’m calling about
the house. Is it still for sale? Oh, Great!
 Well the reason for my call is that I work with buyers in the area and I have
made a commitment to finding them the right home.
 I am creating a list of all the properties available, not just the ones listed in
MLS. Are you listed in MLS?
 Great! Well, if an agent like me WERE to bring you a buyer, are you offering a
3% broker commission for them?
 Great, well I will go ahead and add this property to our database. Thanks!
 Oh and while I have you on the line:
 May I ask where you are moving to?
 How soon do you need to be there?
 What is the current sale price?
 How did you choose your sale price?
 Have you had a recent appraisal?
 How long have you been trying to…sell your house…by yourself?
 Are you willing to…DROP YOUR PRICE…when working with buyers?
 What type of marketing are you using to…SELL YOUR HOUSE?
 Are you aware of all the marketing techniques I use to get your house sold?
 Great! I could come by and show you at 3:00, or would 4:00 be better? That
way I can share with you ideas that may help…SELL YOUR HOUSE.

 No-
o And how long do you think you will continue on your own until you
explore other options?
o Okay, and say in a ___________time when you do decide to …TAKE
ACTION…do you have someone in mind that you trust or would you
consider meeting with an aggressive agent like me?

© 2015 CLME, LLC

  Okay, well here is how I can help you –
o I respect the fact that you want to sell the house yourself.
o I’d like to come see it and show you how I work with many FSBOs just
like you.
o If you could keep doing what you’re doing and have an aggressive agent
like me on your side – AND you knew I could get you MORE money
in a shorter period of time – would you at least want to hear about it?
 See, If I can sell it for you, you have the option to take the offer
and pay my fee. However, if you can sell it on your own, you
don’t owe me anything.
 Does that sound like something you would be interested in
hearing more about?
o Fantastic. Well that’s exactly why we should go ahead and…GET
TOGETHER…right away.
 What works better for you usually, afternoons or evenings?

FSBO Problem Presentation

May I tell you about the 4 types of buyers?

1. Serious and in a hurry – They may be moving to your town and have three days
to find a home. Or maybe they just sold theirs and need to get into another or they
will lose their contract.
2. Serious but not in a hurry – They can qualify – they may be a first time home
buyer proceeding cautiously or they may be looking for that special home. Most first
time home buyers who are proceeding cautiously want someone to hold their hand,
right?
3. Investors – They want to buy everything ten cents on the dollar. I bet some have
called you already. Did they ask you how much you would come down on price? I
have had to help many FSBOs with that.
4. Looky Lous – I really shouldn’t call them buyers. They can’t qualify. Agents won’t
put them in the car, so they go out and prey on FSBOs.

1. When I think of the 4 types of buyers – the first type – serious and in a hurry
– Do you think they are going to be out with an agent looking at everything
they can to find the best transaction they can, or do you think they are going to
be in a rental car trying to find FSBOs?

© 2015 CLME, LLC

 2. Secondly, if you are a serious buyer who wants to proceed cautiously and
have someone hold your hand, are you going to be out looking on your own or
are you going to be looking with an agent?
3. And if you want to buy homes ten cents on the dollar, are you going to call
and agent or are you going to call a FSBO?
4. And if you are a Looky Lou, who cares, right?!

FSBO Fallacies Script

Hello is this ____________________? Hi Mr./Mrs. ____________________, I
wanted to give you a quick call about your property that you have up as For Sale By
Owner, is it still available or did it already sell?

Okay. Let me ask you, since it hasn't sold yet, do you have a time in the future that
you're considering listing your property with a Real Estate Agent?

WHY WOULD WE WANT TO DO THAT? I DON'T WANT TO PAY A BIG

COMMISSION IF I CAN DO IT BY MYSELF.

I can completely understand where you're coming from Mr. /Mrs.

_______________. Did you know that that 95% of all homes sold in Texas are with
the assistance of a buyer’s agent? The reason I say this Mr./Mrs. _______________ is
that you could potentially be missing out on thousands of buyer's that are in the
market to buy in your neighborhood but are simply unaware of your property because
it hasn't been aggressively marketed with a Real Estate team. (Go straight into saying
the next line)

Our firm The Heyl Group specializes in working with For Sale By Owner's just like
yourself, assisting them with aggressively marketing your home to get you top dollar
with a minimum amount of days on the market. In fact we even have a program
where you can continue to market the home on your own and you don’t owe us a
commission if you find your own buyer.

Just out of curiosity Mr. /Mrs. ____________________, If there was a way that we
could show you how teaming up with our company and selling your home with us will
actually get you more money and get you more qualified traffic to your
property….thus getting your property sold without all of the headaches that come

© 2015 CLME, LLC

with selling it on your own would that be something you would be interested in
learning about . Great! We look forward to showing you how our program works. Are
evenings or afternoons better for you?

IF THEY ARE SELLING AND BUYING

Mr. /Mrs. _____________, May I ask you a question? It sounds like you are buying a
home after this one sells, is that correct? But it also sounds like you want to net the most money
possible on this transaction and pay the least amount possible on your purchase….doesn’t everyone!?
There's a lot that we can do to work with you on the commission structure. We’d be
willing to work with you on our flexible commission structure if you would consider
working with us on the buy and listing of your home.

In addition, by having a professional negotiator working on your behalf on the buy

and the sell side we're going to be able to negotiate the MOST amount of money for
you selling and buyer your new home. Could you see the benefit of having a team of
professionals working hard to make sure that you net the most amount of money?
Great!

Let’s simply set an appointment to have our Specialist come out and learn more
about your property and also explain in further detail all it is that we're going to be
doing to get you and your family to most money on the these transactions. Does that
make sense? Great! What times are best for you, afternoon or evenings?

WE WILL HIRE AN AGENT IF IT DOESN’T SELL IN _____ MONTHS

My question is, are you really prepared to endure the opportunity cost of NOT
selling your home in the next ____ days? The reality is we DO NOT KNOW what
the market will be like in 6 months but we know exactly the highest price we could
sell your home for today. In addition, the area where you want to buy may also be
appreciating in value. You could miss out on your dream home! Doesn’t it make sense
to consider taking advantage of the market today and not risking a shift that moves
against you?

Objection Handling

Scripts and Objection Handlers Part 1

I’m going to stay with the same agent

• Great! Tell me, what specifically is the benefit for you to do that?
o What is the last agent going to do differently this time to make sure it
sells that they didn’t do last time?
o I mean, if you knew I could sell it for you in this market and net you
what you need, would you at least consider it?
 Oh fantastic, that is exactly why we need to get together today!
o That’s great! And what I am hearing you say is that you feel obliged to
your last agent because they invested time and money in your house,
right?
 Yeah, and when they originally listed the house, they most likely
intended to sell it right?
 And they probably did everything they could to get it sold,
wouldn’t you agree?
 Yeah, and yet the house did not sell.
 I’m convinced that it’s not for lack of effort. You know, I think it
is most likely in the approach. Your house needs a new
approach.
 Mr./Mrs. Seller, you don’t owe me anything and you really don’t
owe them anything either, BUT you do owe yourself the very
best. It certainly wouldn’t hurt to hear what I do to get houses
sold, would it?
 I mean, after all – you can’t afford to keep doing the same thing
over and over again and expecting different results, can you!
 That is exactly why we need to…get together…today!
 What is it about this agent that has you 100% confident that
this time they can get your home sold?
• See, When we…get together…if you don’t know the answer
to that question– I mean, if you aren’t 100% sold on why I
am going to…sell your house…then you have no obligation to
hire me. So lets go ahead and get together.

I’m going to sell it myself (FSBO)
Great! Tell me, if there were a specific benefit for you to list your home with me
today, would you at least consider it?
a. Oh fantastic, that is exactly why we need to get together!
b. Great, well let me ask you then – what would have to happen first?
a. Oh fantastic, that is exactly why we need to get together!

Oh fantastic. So tell me, what specifically is the benefit to you doing that?
ii. Yeah, and after what you have been through I certainly understand.
In fact, your generally better off being a FOR SALE BY OWNER
than to be with an agent who doesn’t understand the market and
what it takes to sell houses.
iii. You know, most agents do what I call the 3 Ps of real estate. They
PLACE a sign in year, PLACE your house in Multiple Listing and
PRAY that some other agent will come along and sell it for them.
iv. I go A LOT further than that – I study the market everyday and stay
in constant communication with my sellers about their specific
market every week. Also, I proactively and aggressively prospect for
buyers for my listings everyday! In fact, for every 70 new prospects I
spoke with last year, something of mine sold! Is that the kind of
assurance you would be looking for in an agent? I mean, if you were
to hire one?
a. Yeah, and what else are you looking for in an agent?
i. Fantastic, that’s exactly why we need to…get
together…today!

What is it about getting a FSBO sign in the yard that has you 100% confident that you will
get your home sold?
a. See, when we…get together…if you aren’t 100% sold on why I am going to…sell
your house…then you have no obligation to hire me. So let’s go ahead and get
together.

© 2015 CLME, LLC

We’re taking it off the market – we have decided to stay
1. Great! Tell me, if there were a specific benefit for you to list your home with
me today, would you at least consider it?
a. Oh fantastic, that is exactly why we need to get together!
b. Great, well let me ask you then – what would have to happen first?
i. Oh fantastic, that is exactly why we need to get together!
2. Great! Tell me, what specifically is the benefit for you to do that?
a. I mean, if you knew I could sell it for you in this market and net you
what you need, would you at least consider it?
i. Oh fantastic, that is exactly why we need to get together today!
3. Oh, I see. Just out of curiosity, where were you moving to when you sold?
That’s great! Why was that important?
a. Well if we could still make that happen, I mean if a contract were
presented to you today, would you still sell? Great! So, there is still
that desire to move as long as you don’t have to go through what you
did last time, right?
i. Fantastic! That’s exactly why we need to get together today!

I need to talk with my spouse first.

1. I can really appreciate that. You know, it sounds like you want to make sure
your spouse is part of ALL the decision making, right?
a. Fantastic. And if you WERE to both meet with agents in the future,
would that be on a weekend or a weekday anyway? Afternoon or
evening? Okay, Great. Well I would like to talk to your spouse as well.
i. So it sounds like the best time for us all to …get together…is
_____________. Since it sounds like your pretty busy and I
know my schedule fills up fast, I’d like to go ahead and pencil
time for us to meet then. I am going to send you my contact
information and a confirmation for the meeting so you can talk
with your spouse and if it doesn’t work we can reschedule. Fair
enough?

© 2015 CLME, LLC

I have already found another agent
1. Great! So, just out of curiosity, have you already signed a contract?
a. Fantastic! I would like to apply for the job to …SELL YOUR
HOUSE…after all, I specialize in houses that didn’t sell the first time.
Even some of the best houses don’t sell the first time around.
2. You know, if you had to go to a doctor because you had an illness and you
found out it involved surgery, you would want another opinion, wouldn’t
you? Well I know this isn’t surgery and yet its financial surgery on your
house.
a. Lets meet for about 20 minutes and you will see why so many people
have decided to …HIRE ME…over other agents.
b. I mean, Mr./Mrs. Seller, if you knew you could get MORE MONEY
and a QUICKER SALE, you would want to at least …MEET WITH
ME…right?
3. What is it about this agent that has you 100% confident that this time they
can get your home sold?
a. See, When we…get together…if you don’t know the answer to that
question– I mean, if you aren’t 100% sold on why I am going to…sell
your house…then you have no obligation to hire me. So let’s go ahead
and get together.

Where were all you agents when my house was on the market?

That’s a really good question! You know In order to sell a house once, you really need
to sell it twice – may I explain?

Agents sell the house to other agents and they sell it to their clients. Quite frankly,
your agent never sold it to me. That is one of the things I do best. I expose your
house to all the agents in the area and make calls daily to find the buyer for your
house. That is what you want, right?

Let me…come by…and show you how I look for buyers for your house as well as,
how I expose your house to the agents \so they are all familiar with what your house
has to offer.

Scripts and Objection Handlers Part 2
NO, I AM NOT LOOKING TO SELL.
Ask them either of the questions below:
What are the circumstances that would enable you to sell?
What will motivate you to sell?
Will there be any circumstances that would peak your interest to sell?

What would my home sell for?


That’s a great question! I am an assistant on the team and I will have one of our
agents create a market analysis and call you. That being said, what is the price that
would get your attention?

or

That’s a great question! We offer a thorough and comprehensive valuation of

your home. I will forward you to one of our specialists, who knows the market and
your neighborhood more than anyone else and will give you an approximate value of
what your home could sell for. Does that makes sense?

Great! I will make sure to let them know. When is the best time to call you back?

Do you have a buyer?


We absolutely have buyers and I am really calling today to see if you are
interested in selling. What are the circumstances that would enable you to sell?

© 2015 CLME, LLC

What do you differently with other realtors? / You are just the same
as other realtors/real estate group.

That’s a great question! You know, some realtors put the sign in the yard, place it
on MLS and pray that somebody else sells the property for them. We kinda go an
extra step. We do prospecting on behalf of our sellers and we aggressively market the
home to get that property sold for top dollar in no time. It is definitely a different
experience with us than any other realtors. How does that sound?

or

Let me tell you this: we do things differently here in The Heyl Group. We do
have aggressive plans in marketing your home to make sure that it is sold for top
dollar. That includes professional photography of your home and cold calling
potential buyers. Our agents are ready to walk you through the process of selling your
existing house for top dollar. How does that sound?

Fantastic! Since I am an assistant on the team, I will have one of our agents do a
market analysis and call you. That being said, what is price that would get your
attention?

Great! I will make sure to let them know. When is the best time to call you back?

Getting an email address

What is a good email address where our agent can send the market analysis and
also a little information about our team and how we work?

We would sell but have nowhere to go.

Well, that is a valid concern and I want to make sure that before you rule out
selling your home, we can show you that there are still many good homes available on
the market. So, why don’t you tell me more about where you would like to move?

© 2015 CLME, LLC

We already have an agent.
Have you already signed paperwork?

If YES: Great! When is the home coming on the market? Who is the agent we
should contact about the house?
If NO: Great! When are you looking to get the house on the market?

Fantastic! Well, would you be open to a second opinion?

Where did you get my number?

You know what, I’m not entirely sure. Our system pulls phone numbers
associated to the property.
This number is associated with this address.

If lead prospecting to move to a different city

I will make sure to let them know. We can refer you to a local agent in that area
who will make sure to show you houses that matches your needs and preferences.

If the lead said that the property has been leased

When does the lease come due?

Pricing and Condition Script

On a scale of 1 to 10—a 10 being perfect—how would you rate the condition of
your home?

What would make it a 10?

Is there a particular price that you’d like to sell your house for? (Pull open
ACTRIS/MLS and see if the home was listed in the past and at what price).

I saw your house was listed in (year) for $_______. If someone offered you
$_____ today, would you accept their offer?

If YES: Great.
If NO: How much do you want to sell your house for?
I see similar homes in your neighborhood are selling for $_____ per square foot.
Would you be comfortable selling at this amount?

© 2015 CLME, LLC

If YES: Great.
If NO: How much do you want to sell your house for?
As professional real estate agents, our objective is to price homes to sell as quickly
as possible. Once we can assess—in person—what your home looks like, we can let
you know if your price range is within a range that makes sense in the current real
estate market.

I’m going to stay with the same agent

• Great! Tell me, what specifically is the benefit for you to do that?
• What is the last agent going to do differently this time to make sure it sells that they
didn’t do last time?
• I mean, if you knew I could sell it for you in this market and net you what you need,
would you at least consider it?

If YES: Oh fantastic, that is exactly why we need to get together today!

• That’s great! And what I am hearing you say is that you feel obliged to your last
agent because they invested time and money in your house, right?
• Yeah, and when they originally listed the house, they most likely intended to sell it
right?
• And they probably did everything they could to get it sold, wouldn’t you agree?
• Yeah, and yet the house did not sell.
• I’m convinced that it’s not for lack of effort. You know, I think it is most likely in
the approach. Your house needs a new approach.
• Mr. /Mrs. ___________, you don’t owe me anything and you really don’t owe them
anything either, BUT you do owe yourself the very best. It certainly wouldn’t hurt to
hear what I do to get houses sold, would it?
• I mean, after all – you can’t afford to keep doing the same thing over and over again
and expecting different results, can you?

If YES: That is exactly why we need to…get together…today!

• What is it about this agent that has you 100% confident that this time they can get
your home sold?
See, when we…get together…if you don’t know the answer to that question– I
mean, if you aren’t 100% sold on why I am going to…sell your house…then you have
no obligation to hire me. So let’s go ahead and get together.

Where were all you agents when my house was on the market?
• That’s a really good question! You know In order to sell a house once, you really
need to sell it twice – may I explain?
Agents sell the house to other agents and they sell it to their clients. Quite
frankly, your agent never sold it to me. That is one of the things I do best. I expose
your house to all the agents in the area and make calls daily to find the buyer for your
house. That is what you want, right?

If YES: Fantastic! Let me…come by…and show you how I look for buyers for your
house as well as, how I expose your house to the agents so they are all familiar with
what your house has to offer.
Relative is a Realtor
Ask them: Are they working full time?
If NO: I understand. But if I were selling a house, I would be going with someone
who does this full time on a day-to-day basis, who knows the market very well and is
equipped with knowledge to make sure that I get top dollar for my home. You owe
yourself the best, wouldn't you agree?
Seller not willing to put it on the market
Most of us, as part of our script, tell the lead that we do have a buyer who wants to
move in to their area and then ask them if they plan on selling it. And we mostly
encounter leads who would tell us that they would but are not willing to put it on the
market. If this happens, ask them:

“If our buyer would not be interested in your home, would

you be interested in listing it on the open market?”

Depending on how they respond, we would be able to gauge how strong their
motivation is in selling their property.

Time-Frame of Selling too Far Out
There are a lot of instances that our clients will give us an indefinite time-frame, too
far out date or worst, you feel that the client is not really sure in his/her time-frame in
selling. So here are some questions to make sure that we get stronger response from
them.
Out of curiosity, what is going to happen from now until ______ that made you
decide to sell around that time? What’s happening around that time that makes sense for
you to sell around that date?
Out of curiosity, what are the things that you considered that made you decide to sell
around that date?

If lead wants to work with the same agent

I understand you feel obligated to your previous agent because of the work he
has done before. But have you sat down with him and asked him what he is gonna do
differently this time to get your home sold?
You know, you don’t owe anything to your previous agent and you certainly do
not owe anything to us. But you definitely owe yourself the best.

If lead had worked with an agent before but had a bad experience
I understand. What do you think did your realtor do to market your property in
the past?
Okay. Let me tell you this: I am really calling because we are experts in selling
homes that has been listed before but has not been sold. I want to show you how we
do things differently here in The Heyl Group. We do have aggressive plans in
marketing your home to make sure that it sold in no time. That includes professional
photography of your home and cold calling potential buyers and many more. Our
agent is ready to walk you through the process of selling your existing house for top
dollar. So what do you think about that?
