And you know the two most common objections are:
- “I’m a for sale by owner.”
- “I don’t want to pay a commission.”
Instead of waiting for them to say it and getting defensive,you lead with it:
“Hey John, I saw the listing, I know you're a FSBO, and I did read in the description that you’re not looking to pay commissions right now. I guess just out of curiosity… if I did connect you with an outside offer that made sense,that’s not something you’d be against looking at, right?”
Boom 💥
Guard down.
Resistance neutralized.
You said what they were thinking before they could weaponize it.
Another example:
They usually say, “I’d list, but I have a family friend.”
Right before you go for the appointment, you say:
“And look, John by the way, I know you’ve got a family friend you’d consider working with…But just out of curiosity, if a second opinion made more financial sense,you wouldn’t be completely against exploring that, right?”
You didn’t argue.
You didn’t “handle” anything.
You preempted the objection & reframed it before it became friction.
🎯 Master this and you’ll instantly double your conversions.
Because when you prevent objections instead of fighting them...The conversation flows, the resistance drops, and the prospect actually listens.
