5 clever comebacks to use when someone tells you they “know a realtor”

Has anyone ever said to you, “I know a realtor!”?

“My friend is a realtor!”

“My wife’s cousin is a realtor!”

“Somebody I went to high school with, that I haven’t talked to in 20 years- is a realtor.”

I get it. Everyone knows someone who is a realtor.

So here’s the challenge: How can you get them to work with YOU, instead of their “friend”?

Here’s 5 clever comebacks to use when someone says they know a realtor.

 1.       I’m happy to work with them, and even happy to pay them a referral fee!

2.       Are you comfortable sharing your finances with your friends?

3.       Would you be open to a second opinion? Can’t hurt, right?

4.       Do you feel that your friend has a good pulse on the market?

5.       Trust your gut. I want what’s best for you- and the last thing you want is to have any reservations about your friends or family member to impact such a big commitment in your life.

The key with these questions and rebuttals is to remind your prospect that sometimes, business with family and friends do not mix well - and do not end well.

Remember: Working with someone more SKILLED is greater than just a pure relationship.

I can help you convert that prospect into a client with more tools- please reach out to me!

Let’s Go!
