Funny. Functional qualities are not going to adjust the price at all. There is nothing wrong with taking comps to the house on the 1st visit. It is called not wasting their time. Oh hey realtor what do you think of my value? Oh me, I am sorry I didn't even look yet. I just wanted to come say high. You take the comps, say hey let's look around 1st and then sit down for a chat and look at these comps. That builds rapport right away. The other stuff is true, keep it clean and neutral.

I love your technique. Great info and video. Keep them coming.

Many agents bring data before seeing the house, without seeing it. I like your style by doing your analysis in two parts.

Good video. Explaining the process behind the scenes helps the public realize gee, these guys and gals wearing the "R" really work hard behind the scenes and make the process seamless. Look easy.

@sgntslaugh73r Only if you don't set boundaries! One of the biggest mistakes is not setting boundaries with your clients. They need to know that they can get in touch with you and you will get back to them promptly, but at the same time, if you take Sundays off, then they need to understand that. Most people will and the ones that don't probably aren't worth working with.

@ExpertRealEstateTips It isn't as easy or rewarding as a few years ago! With the constant stream of short short sales, my work load has probably doubled and the odds of them actually closing after all that work has dropped significantly.
