The Ninja Selling Podcast


Jan 25, 2021

With the speed at which things are moving these days, Matt and Garrett are seeing some agents skipping some crucial steps in ‘The 10 Step Buyer Process’ and experiencing a lot of frustration as a result. Taking a few minutes at the start to ask these clarifying questions of all the decision makers involved is vital to avoiding disappointment further down the road. While they have discussed this process in previous episodes, today Matt and Garrett will look at its increased importance, as well as some creative ways to implement it, in the unique times in which we find ourselves.

They begin with a quick review of the process before delving into the different types of buyers, the need for you to maintain control of the process, and understanding the buyer’s previous experiences with purchasing real estate. Addressing the buyer’s 4 greatest fears, talking to them without engaging FOMO, understanding intrinsic value, and the difference between a financial investment vs. a lifestyle investment are all explored as well. In the end, you need to know your client’s ‘why’ for buying a property, and the small amount of time it takes to do that upfront with the Buyer Process will not only save everyone a lot of time later on, but will also allow you to attain that role of trusted advisor that will enrich the lives of all involved.
