Real Estate Agent Live Call: Step by Step Listing Presentation 101

[@GrahamStephan]

2:25 - He got the listing appointment by cold calling expired listings 4:04 - Prepare a CMA, listing agreement, samples of your marketing materials, and information about yourself/past sales/brokerages sales/etc 5:13 - You're going to mess up in the beginning. It's okay. It's a learning experience. 6:20 - Research everything about the home. This is first step. Figure out when the seller bought the property and for how much. 7:55 - Go in with as much INFORMATION as possible. 8:30 - Show up early. Don't go into the listing presentation right away. Ask for a tour of the home to build rapport. Ask what they've done to the home. Ask why they bought this home. Why they're selling. The more information you have, the better. The more discussion you have, the better. Build a personal connection. 11:00 - Make it about what THEY want. This is all about the seller. For an expired listing, ask why they didn't think it didn't sell and what could've been done better. Use this as information to do better. 13:11 - Ask the seller what they think their home is worth, and why they think that's an appropriate price. 14:00 - My pricing strategies. Find out a price from THEM first before you suggest your own price. Price competitively. WATCH THIS PART. THIS IS IMPORTANT. DON'T SKIP THIS. 19:20 - Is staging important? Short answer, YES. Typically seller pays for staging. 21:18 - Upgrades a seller should make prior to listing. Fresh paint, clean landscape, and other minor repairs make a big difference. 23:05 - COMMENT DOWN BELOW "GOOD LUCK" so he gets the listing ;) 24:06 - The importance of photography. Evening photography is worth it. 24:34 - Marketing a listing: mail out postcards to all the nearby homes. Neighbors are great source of leads. 26:00 - What to say if you're a brand new agent with zero experience. 27:45 - When closing the deal, here's what you can say! "I'm ready when you are, I can have xyz started asap"

Love this breakdown!

[@DMOREL11101]

Excellent thank you

[@LordCruse]

I remember when graham got me thinking about becoming a realtor back when I was 17 and in high school. Now I’m 20 and I’m watching this video preparing for my first listing presentation ever tomorrow morning. Chase your dreams!

[@MrDavidrealtor]

Keep up the good work. Wish you all the best

[@gidd]

How's the business going

[@chloekimberly5084]

Literally same !! Use to watch him in high school now I’m 20 and have a listing presentation tomorrow!

[@LordCruse]

@@chloekimberly5084 hey good luck! I have one in 25 minutes :))

[@LordCruse]

@@gidd good man living the dream

[@katmiranda5493]

I’m a brand new agent and feel like a lost puppy, I have no clue where to start. This was SO helpful ❤️

[@tobyknapik]

Kat Miranda same! Graham’s videos serve as 90% of my training which is both fortunate and unfortunate in an industry with such a high learning curve

[@CatherineHaggerty]

Kat Miranda me too. Just started 4 weeks ago. What a great video!

[@gabe3404]

Hey how’s your career going as a realtor

[@warriorpaths237]

How are you now

[@mahid9594]

This just shows the importance of having a great mentor starting out!!!

[@ssouriela7581]

I signed my 1st listings contract today! 💃💃 had my CMA, exclusive right to sell, and seller disclosures doc. I ask the question when home was bought and how much they still owe on it. Didn't see this before my appointments but this is super useful to anyone starting out. Thank you Graham 😊

[@GabriellaTasaico]

Graham, perfect timing! Great information for a new agent. I have my first FSBO for a 1.2M. house. I can definitely relate my story to Eric. I don't have a mentor right now so I'm following your videos and especially this one for a more step by step of what to say and what to take with me. This will be a huge opportunity. Looking forward to getting that listing signed tomorrow! Thank you for all the information!!

[@GrahamStephan]

Thanks so much, happy it’s helpful! Good luck!

[@gabe3404]

Hey Gabby any script you based your conversation off of?

[@ek07305]

Hey, Graham, I have subscribed for a little while, you are solid one. I just got my RE License 2 weeks ago and had started working for this Real Estate firm in NY. I am a Real Estate Investor too. I was cold calling waiting to get my license after my second day at the firm I didn't get a sale listing front this one person ($1.2 M Condo in Manhattan). But guess what? I suggested renting the unit. She said yes, and I was the only one she had yes to. I partnered with someone at my firm and a month ago we got the exclusive, my partner started advertising but no traction. It's not until I advertised 2 weeks ago, that we got activity and Thursday 15th, I closed on her $7000/month short term rental lease. After they the tenants leave I will rent it again for $6,000/ month which is the regular price. 2 birds with one stone. Rarely happens! Beautiful start if you ask me. My partner and the clients were impressed. I'm not playing! Eventually she will want to sell and and who is she gonna go to first? Me! This rental speaks about my ability to deliver. Relationship is everything. Your video shows I have been thought right by my partner but there is some gold nuggets in here that I will use for pitching and will let you know how it benefited me. Thanks, brother. Keep up the good work. Cheers!

[@GrahamStephan]

Hey man, that's EXACTLY how I grew my entire business....started as rentals, and then they'll use you to sell. They'll use you to buy. They'll refer you more business. And pretty soon you can build up your entire career with just a few years of doing leasing, building relationships, etc!

[@jacksonbillions4921]

Thank you for posting so much straight content about real estate. It's so hard to find much due to how competitive the markets are.

[@BlaykeGallie]

Thank you so much for making this Graham I’ve got my first listing appointment today and the brokerage is not too helpful on this topic so I was going in completely blind but this helps SO MUCH and makes me feel way more confident now :)

[@BlaykeGallie]

I ended up getting the listing!!! I know this is an old video so I’m not sure you will even see this but I just wanted to say thank you for making this your old videos are still making a difference in peoples lives 👏🏼👏🏼

[@tantrum3670]

You come up with the best videos.

[@GrahamStephan]

Thanks so much!

[@realdeal72]

Wow! So cool to see Graham in his element while coaching. Will have to mention 'expired listing cold calling' to my girlfriend who's currently wanting to transition from leasing to full time traditional real estate. Thanks Graham, keep the content comin'!!

[@GrahamStephan]

Thanks so much! This is gold mine for realtors who want to transition into listings...also holding open houses to meet other buyers/sellers!

[@jdm2339]

your content ages so gracefully. here we are 1.5 years later and I'm super duper ready to kill my listing presentation tomorrow morning. Going to be leaving w signed listing agreement, already know it. Thanks again big dog!!! you da man

[@GrahamStephan]

Thanks so much!!

[@junebreeze5620]

Ten years in the business!! No way U look 23. Although 28 is still young! U r doing great in real estate!

[@guCCI-sy5de]

Hey Graham!! Thanks for all the Great content (been following since you've had < 5k subs) I recently ended up getting into Real-Estate partly because of you. (Used to work in Drive-thru at Wendy's back when I'd just turned 18, and one day this person will a really flash car pulls up (Bently) so I ended up asking him if by any chance he owned a business to which he replied with nope "into Real-Estate" and then I go on to tell him that how I'd been thinking about getting into real estate (back when I was 17 1/2) but just didn't know how to sort of get started, so he ended up giving me his business card and said that his office was always open for me and I could stop by anytime I'd like. So about a week later I end up stopping by his office and we talk about Real-Estate and getting started. Fast forward Couple a months later, before Christmas I passed my real estate exam!! And after that I stopped by his office again and ended up signing up with brokerage (Coldwell Banker {not literally his lol}) And recently I joined this team too, just so that I could feel a bit more comfortable to when I would show up to listings and to sort of stop being portrayed as a young rookie by some possible clients, so that there got me sold for now lol! But THANKYOU so much for all the Great Content and Honestly man I don't think I would be at where I am at not if it werent for you. Keep on continuing to Inspire People :) SHAMELESS PLUG lol. Made a new Instagram.- instagram.com/loren.roy/ I' ll post my jounrey here and possibly even some content with my mentors.

[@GrahamStephan]

Well done, dude. Wow. It’s stories like this that really make it all worth it, that’s means so much to me to see that you’re doing well and moving on up - just goes to show you what self motivation and action can do. Please keep me posted. And reach out to me if you ever need anything, want to make sure you crush it!!

[@banahlee]

That's awesome!

[@guCCI-sy5de]

Wow. Can't believe this is Real life lol.. Thanks :) Btw Lol I hope you dont mind but I'll be posting couple a comments on every one of your videos with my shameless insta plugs :P

[@mezmur26]

Hope you got the listing bro!

[@QualeHouse]

How did he get so lucky to win this with you!!! This is amazing! You are so good at training him!! We need more videos like this!!!!

[@ItsSaiyan]

Great video I learned a lot thank you

[@ahnaftalukder2847]

Our first agent basically didn't do anything. We tried to find the houses and emailed him the addresses. Also, when we found good deals and tried to call him, he wouldn't pick up most of the times. Basically, all of them were found by us online😂.

[@GrahamStephan]

That's insane. I swear sometimes it's SO EASY to stand out and make money as a real estate agent - despite all the competition - because so many agents have zero clue what they're doing. Or they just don't care.

[@KellanJames]

24:34 This postcard idea to the neighbours is genius!

[@GrahamStephan]

I do this all the time and it works great! Neighbors love it, it's great marketing for me, and it's good exposure for the home. Win win.

[@iansmith658]

Do they seem to be pretty effective? Thinking of trying this. And where would you get the postcard template?

[@derrickmccarrell2500]

How do you cold call expired listings? Where does the info come from?

[@showspotter]

New Realtor in Northern Colorado & watching your videos so I can prepare for my first listing appointment, when I get it.

[@christianmedina1421]

Where about in northern Colorado?

[@showspotter]

The FoCo area

[@jasonrock3266]

wow by far the most in depth video on your channel of how to speak to sellers and what to be prepared for and ask them and all the other small details. he better close!

[@GrahamStephan]

Thanks so much Jason! Figured if I’m speaking with him, may as well record it all for the KZbin’s :)

[@jasonrock3266]

Graham Stephan make a video on the other side of the equation for what you say for buyers, typical questions that come up and other "usual things" to let a buyer know and how to have rapport with them

[@GrahamStephan]

Yes! I’ll for sure do that!

[@hunterdonnelly7422]

This video was so helpful

[@thegoodguystore]

Like the idea of calling expired listing. Definitely gonna try it! Epic info for first time agents headed into a listing. Got one this Saturday so it’s much appreciated👌🏼 Keep up the great work!

[@ryanmoyer1]

this was an awesome video! Love hearing about the real estate hustle! I think it's admirable that he's calling expired listings and he is going to do great in the business if he keeps it up!

[@GrahamStephan]

AGREED!

[@danielcontreras2444]

WOHOO!!! Seattle, WA I'm here too, lets link up I'm an 18 yr old realtor in Tacoma just getting started

GOTTA DO IT!

[@enriquepolanco7105]

Awesome videos dude. Thanks for talking about real estate. Definitely going to implement this when im an agent

[@GrahamStephan]

Awesome!!!

[@enriquepolanco7105]

I have a question about the academy. If you ever have any information that you may want to expand on or add on to it. Do you till you will make a new course or will you just be adding it?

[@GrahamStephan]

I’ll just add on to it! I’ve made it to be as comprehensive as possible, so I want everything to be in it. Planning to add on to it over time as things change or new concepts come up!

[@enriquepolanco7105]

Ok thanks. The second i get home ill buy that. Hahaha im so excited

[@GrahamStephan]

Let me know what you think! You can reach me if there’s anything you need or if you have any questions or concerns. Want to make sure you’re happy with the purchase! Otherwise I’ll make it right. You got my word!

[@two15AQhdc3s]

27,000th person to see this here. You better have got that listing bro!

[@paytontorans]

This is GOLD!

[@gocpng4699]

Is There A Way To Show The Steps/Paperwork Involved In Listings? Thanks

[@LiGHTA77]

really hope he gets it done! would love to see a follow up video/phone call with you and him on things he noticed/picked up on and learned while doing this first listing!

[@GrahamStephan]

YEP! This will be posted in the next day or two!

[@nicko.7446]

I just got my license a few days and decided to sign on with KW down in SD. Looking forward to doing big things here

[@GrahamStephan]

Congrats!!

[@ELY-qg2vn]

How has it been so far nick?

[@charlesellis1097]

Hey Graham, when you are selling a house how many days do you generally take from start to end? Also approximately how many hours would you spend per house per week while actively trying to sell it? Oh and good luck getting that listing!

[@GrahamStephan]

It totally depends on the listing - most homes would sell within 30-60 days. I might spend 36-92 solid hours on the entire process, but that might be spread over weeks or months. Sometimes more sometimes less - just totally depends on the listing!

[@jakewentzz]

Love your video! Had my first buyer a few weeks ago but now I'm looking for more action. Thanks for the tips!

[@jordanperez6979]

Hello my names Jordan Perez. I'm 18, I have no job, no drivers license, no credit, and I'm living with my financially struggling parents in the middle of no ware. "I want to build a real estate empire." I've made a goal to get a real estate license, drivers license, credit card, and a job so that I can start saving up money for my first real estate deal. Do you have any suggestions for me. It would mean the world to me if you, or anyone for that matter responded.

[@anthonyandrews4813]

Good luck with that listing brother even though it was a long time ago I bet you got it

[@cody7657]

What are you staging if they already have lots of their own stuff in it

[@otms1246]

That number psychologically is very real and just sound like that would be smart to do posting and even saying 1 million compared to scrolling online and seeing a lower number but the house feeling and looking like a million dollar house And same psychology is used on us in the market world when shopping for things stuff is labeled as .95 or .99 at the end $1.95 $4.99 ect

[@GrahamStephan]

I totally agree. I'll NEVER post something at $1,000,000...it looks SO much better at $995,000. Or $1,495,000 vs $1,500,000. Or $1,995,000 vs $2,000,000.

[@Kayla11113]

He should have made a marketing plan from the home info. Brochures, where he markets the properties. Seems his broker should have this info.

[@bigdew87]

Hey Graham, great video as usual, very thorough. You give a lot of good tips to Eric. I do have one question though, at 9:00 in the video when you advise to ask for a tour and begin building rapport with the potential client with questions and conversation, are you just listening intently and making mental notes or are you actually taking physical notes while the potential client is talking? I would think you would want to remember what they're telling you as the relationship progresses but would it be weird to actually take notes while on the tour and asking questions? Thanks!

[@GrahamStephan]

I never take physical notes, I’ll just remember the important parts!

[@sv5479]

quality content as always! thank you!!!

[@casewhite5048]

So lets say he got the listing where does he post the new photos you told him to take. Can he place them everywhere like on every house sells website can he make his own website of houses he has bought and sold for in the future as proof of how good he is?

[@GrahamStephan]

He'll get the listing signed, get pictures taken, and then he'll upload everything to his areas Multiple Listing Service (MLS). That will automatically syndicate to every other website out there like zillow, trulia, redfin, etc. As for making his own website, absolutely and many agents do this - they'll have a list of their currently listed homes, recently sold, etc.

[@brianclark2411]

Did he sell the home Graham

[@damiannicholson6891]

Good luck man!!

[@santosobernard7067]

Hai Graham, I'm Rudiyanto, from Indonesia. First of all, thank you so much for sharing all your experienced about property in your KZbin channel. I'm trully inspired. Hope you read this message. I wanna ask, I found a listing that below market price in certain area (I knew this after I checked the neighbourhood). The owner said she want to sell the house at 500 million rupiahs (my country currency). The market price which is exactly same like her house, opens at 530. Should I advice her to reduce the price at 499, like you said in the video or is there another way from you. Thanks for your attention. Looking forward for your answer shortly.

[@aliyabarter]

Omg you make it look soo easy ! I’m just in between cross road of career, coming from hard sales, to being interested in real estate . But living in a non english country . What are my chances now ? Should I still pursue it ? Where do I start ?

[@RRB_Golf]

Hey what is a good site to create post cards for new listings or just solds? Thx

[@tq325]

Very helpful, thanks!

[@enocka5140]

Always Looking Forward To These !!! Thanks Stay Blessed

[@GrahamStephan]

Thanks so much! These ones are usually spur of the minute!

[@cody7657]

Even though two years old great content and training

[@mitchell.9632]

Graham what do you think about mortgage protection insurance? That is a topic you have never covered before. If the state allows it for real estate agents to sell in addition to being a real estate agent.

[@GrahamStephan]

I've never seen the need to. I'd never try to pitch it, either.

[@mitchell.9632]

Understand why that is a topic you don't want to cover. Though I do see the value in it if you end up on disability or you die and have dependents then it covers the mortgage to help you keep the house. On mortgages them self are you allowed to sell or refer them to a certain mortgage company while performing as a real estate agent in California?

[@tamintrisrobinsonrealtor3672]

Did he get the listing ? , I'm going to be a listing agent also very helpful

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Solid information and insight.

[@GrahamStephan]

Thanks so much!

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Graham Stephan I look forward to taking a look at the rest of your content and following along. As a new agent with a ton of ambition, I’m trying to take in as much info as possible. Knowledge is power. Knowledge breeds confidence.

[@joshjjjjj25]

If someone could help me answer this question it would be cool. Im taking my test soon to get my license and was wondering something. Ive been watching alot of listing presentations where they seem to force the seller to sign the agreement that day they meet, is this a bad thing to let the seller "sleep on it" if they say they are meeting other agents or should you try your hardest to get them to sign it that night?

[@CatherineHaggerty]

What an awesome video. I’m new and it helps a lot. Is there a link to the follow up video. Hoping he got the listing!

[@CatherineHaggerty]

KZbin rolled right into the video next. Love your content. So helpful.

[@BooBooTroyy]

So the notifications don’t work

[@JPazb]

Wait, at 17:00 how exactly did you manage to go from 1.975 to 2.150? I’m asking because as a newbie in this business I’m having trouble selling a particular home where the owner asked for 375k initially but eventually lowered to 350k. I know it’s not million dollar homes like you do, but is lowering prices the best strategy for homes that don’t sell? (Assuming the marketing, etc. is done correctly)

[@GrahamStephan]

We priced it just barely under market. I also advertised the first open house a ton by mailing out invitations to all the neighbors announcing the first open. A buyer came in and offered above asking to get the offer accepted before our open house. I also make sure to group showings together on hot properties which shows buyers that there’s a lot of demand on the home.

[@jasonchoi2222]

Good luck man

[@nobbie_07]

Any tips on how to go about being a realtor who also likes to do gameplay videos. Pros and cons?

Gameplay videos?

[@j.gwells5252]

Can we please get an update on your fifth property? New subscriber here!

[@GrahamStephan]

Hey man! Yeah, I've been meaning to do that but I ended up moving in and renting out my last place, so there's still a few minor things I've put off doing.

[@kaysiebanville8678]

Did he get the appointment?

[@michaelfloden3488]

this was a really great video. thanks for this.

[@baccaratmessiah4420]

Holy smoke you were skinny in this video. Time to hit the gym graham … Health is wealth my friend.!!

[@o1-preview]

7th! I love the “WHAAAATSSUP YOU GUYS” hahahh I also changed my plans around making KZbin videos for now Graham.. but if I ever go back I’ll make sure to translate some of your smart ideologies!! Also great video! Make more 30min videos :)

[@GrahamStephan]

Haha that just slowly became the trademark phrase of the channel, now I can’t ever discontinue it! And sounds good, the 30 minutes videos usually just take forever to do unless they’re like this one without much editing. But this is more of a podcast style!

[@ambarestrellatoledo5926]

Did he get the listing? Or how long did it take him to actually get a listing? :)

[@adammork8007]

Thank you, this was extremely helpful. I’m looking forward to more content!

awesome, cant wait to see an interview!

[@Nit3Fury]

GOOD LUCK!

[@GrahamStephan]

Dont spill whiskey tho

[@daniel.deaconu]

Did he got the listing? Sold the house?

[@Axel-vt8no]

Hey Graham, Loved the video. Where can you go to find how much they still owe on it?

[@GrahamStephan]

You won’t know exactly until you pull the prelim but you can estimate it. See what they bought it for and what their current loan is - find out when they got that loan and you can guess from there how much is paid off.

[@ytlife9773]

I love this, you really inspire me to be great man. Also what's better from online vs in class real estate classes? 🤔

[@GrahamStephan]

Personally, I like online classes - it's usually cheaper and faster. But some people learn more in person. HOWEVER, most of what I learned when taking my Realtor classes was just useless knowledge, I forgot most of it shortly after.

[@ytlife9773]

Graham Stephan ok thanks

[@Jennifer.Lynn8961]

KZbin is the easiest to get verified? And is it a long process?

[@GrahamStephan]

Super easy. Once you have 100k subs it'll take just a day or two to get verified.

[@imgonzalez]

Graham Stephan Respect for replying ✊🏼

[@GrahamStephan]

You got it! When it comes to the comments, I reply 99% of the time!

[@imgonzalez]

Graham Stephan What about Instagram and Twitter is that hard to get verified?

[@GrahamStephan]

Much much harder. I don't know any way you can get verified besides having an "in" and also a significant following.

[@Thad7507]

How many books do you read a month

[@GrahamStephan]

Honest answer is 0. But I read a lot online and listen to a lot on KZbin.

[@Thad7507]

Graham Stephan I’m the same way, but do you feel like you get as much out of it as reading a book? I’m currently conflicted.

[@GrahamStephan]

I do. I'll listen to the same thing over and over, though - each time I learn a little more.

[@philrodrigues9270]

Think you guys can do it

[@GrahamStephan]

Fingers crossed!

[@jackie2489]

That'll be end of this upcoming week I think! It's gonna be a good one.

[@jond3281]

6 grand for staging??????

[@GrahamStephan]

That's on the cheap side here! I've seen staging in the range of $25,000-$50,000...but then again my market here is $$$.

[@fitnesstech2024]

hey this question has nothing to do with this video but is there a way you can also increase your net worth with collectibles e.g paintings, gold/silver, guns, antic cars me myself i collect old cash like $100 bill from 1930 i have a bunch of very old cash i figure it will appreciate in time because cash is being used less just check ebay for old cash and also cash still keeps its monetary value what do you think?

[@GrahamStephan]

100% that will increase your net worth. I'd say it's more of a hedge against inflation rather than an investment, though - I collect old money, too - they're cool to have but have barely kept up with inflation over time.
