Want More Listings? Target the Sellers Other Agents Ignore.
Turn Today’s FSBO Into Tomorrow’s Listing
Thousands of homeowners start out determined to sell without an agent. Many eventually decide they need professional help—and when that happens, the agent they’ve come to know and trust often gets the listing.
These letters help make sure that agent is you.
Some agents have tried to list FSBO’s and failed, and that is likely because they have approached those sellers with the wrong attitude. They’ve come across as wanting the listing instead of wanting to be helpful. Or – they’ve approached with a hard sell or come across as a bit arrogant and treated the owners like they’re ignorant for trying to sell without an agent.
There IS a better way…
You can approach those FSBO sellers with an attitude that will cause them to like and trust you – and you can do it without having to write anything except your own contact information.
Establish trust with
For Sale by Owner Prospecting Letters that offer advice
In this set of For Sale by Owner prospecting letters, you get a fast and simple solution to gaining the trust and confidence of sellers who are trying to go it on their own.
Because you will be offering helpful advice, you’ll put yourself in the perfect position to list their homes when the job becomes:
- Tiresome
- Time-consuming
- Confusing, or
- More than they can handle.
“For Sale by Owner: Getting Started Special Reports” will not only keep you in touch with those whose homes you most want to list, it will show them that you are the expert they need.
NOTE: When I originally wrote these FSBO letters, they were intended for use with an email autoresponder. However, since you might prefer to mail them to people who have called, people whose homes you’ve visited, or addresses where you’ve seen a sign, I’ve added 3 more versions of the special report: One for each of those contingencies.
Follow-up letters go into more detail about the tasks that homeowners must perform…
When your for sale by owner prospecting letters point out the various tasks that need to be performed in order to effectively market a home, those homeowners will come to realize that they may not be up to the task, but that you are, and you know how to market effectively.
Instead of the loud hype, high-pressure, and empty promises they’ve heard from other agents, your for sale by owner prospecting letters offer advice. At the same time, they’ll subtly encourage those FSBO sellers to let you take this huge job off their hands.
The initial letter gives an overview of the tasks ahead. Then subsequent letters go into more detail, such as outlining the information and documents the homeowner needs to gather. Pricing is important, so one letter suggests ways that a person without access to MLS sales statistics might determine the correct price for their home. Other letters cover photography, marketing, and negotiation. One letter cautions against letting strangers in without an appointment and being sure that children know not to open the door when they’re home alone.
You may be thinking they won’t need you if you give all that advice…
That would be true if the advice was detailed, but it isn’t. For the most part, the letters point out things that must be done to properly market the house while protecting their home, their equity, their family members, and their negotiating position. In fact, the advice should serve to show them that they’ve got a lot of work ahead.
The for sale by owner prospecting letters will position you as a caring, knowledgeable person – someone they can trust. They’ll also pave the path to getting the listing priced right, and the home in “show-ready” condition before you offer it to the market.
When those sellers decide to hand the workload to you, your job will be easier, because the sellers will understand what needs to be done.
