25 Tips To Create The Ultimate Real Estate Listing Presentation

If you’re a new real estate agent, you might be intimidated by the thought of doing your first real estate listing presentation.

This post details 25 steps you can take to prepare for your presentation and give you the confidence you need to make the best impression. 

Tips For Preparation

1. build and maintain your online presence.

In today’s internet-driven world, people do their research on you before they even speak with you. Focus on building and maintaining your online presence across social media, Zillow and Realtor.com , and your website.

Interact with your audience across these platforms so that people get a sense of your personality. You want to attract people who are actually interested in working with you.

The more people know of you before you show up, the easier the appointment will go. They’ll already have an idea about your experience and your process, which gives you a great foot in the door.

2. Practice Your Presentation

Remember, it’s ok to feel nervous. Try practicing your real estate listing presentation out loud before going to the client’s home. Repeat it enough times until you feel confident in your delivery. Having a firm grasp on the main points of your presentation will help tame your nerves.

3. Visit Active Listings in the Client’s Neighborhood/Area

A unique tip that most agents don’t take the time to do is to visit other active listings in the client’s neighborhood before your listing appointment. 

This will give you more knowledge about the area, and you’ll see the prices of other homes in the area. Sellers will appreciate this extra work because it shows your dedication.

5. Drop Off A Pre-Listing Package

One tip that will start you off on the right foot before the listing appointment even starts is to drop off a real estate pre-listing package . The package should include any marketing materials you have created, including a description of your unique value proposition and marketing plan.

When you drop off your real estate pre-listing package, make sure that it is presented professionally. Use binders, folders, and be sure it’s personally branded.

Tips For During the Presentation

5. share your story in under 2 minutes.

Clients want to get to know you and your business, but make sure you keep it short. The main goal in your real estate listing presentation is to get the client talking more about themselves and their goals in selling their home.

Tell a brief story about what you do and what makes you different from other realtors. If this isn’t your first listing, talk about successful listings you’ve handled in the past.

6. Have Good Posture and Body Language

Most experts agree that 70% to 93% of all communication is nonverbal . So whether you’re touring the home or sitting down with your clients to get to know them, be sure your back is straight, you aren’t slouched, and you don’t cross your arms. And of course, give all your attention to your client as they are speaking and practice basic listening skills.

7. Use Social Proof to Your Advantage

If you have some previous listings under your belt, be sure to leverage them as social proof and use them to your advantage. For example, add in quotes from satisfied past clients, or share a success story regarding a previous transaction.

Having social proof in addition to what is online goes a long way in impressing your potential client. It will also help to establish you as a real estate professional with authority and knowledge in the real estate industry.

8. Personal Statistics

Along with social proof, be sure to include some personal statistics about your previous listings, such as:

• Average days on market
• Average list price to sales price ratio
• How you compare to the market average

9. Create a Slide Deck to Stay on Task

A classic slide deck or PowerPoint presentation is the best way to keep your pre listing presentation organized and flowing smoothly. It’ll help you stay focused from one point to the next, so you don’t end up rambling throughout your presentation.

10. Have a Marketing Plan

Come up with a comprehensive  real estate listing marketing plan  for listing your client’s home. Be sure to include the following marketing material:

• How you will leverage social media
• Which websites their listing will be shown on
• Advertising strategy
• Any broker groups or email lists you plan to use
• If you plan on holding open houses , and if so, how often
• Professional photos  and video

Don’t skimp on photos in your marketing strategy. Even if it seems expensive, professional photos will showcase the home much better than personal photos. In addition, you’ll build a beautiful portfolio to show future clients. They will take notice of how much better your photos look compared to your competition and want to work with you as a result.

11. Introduce the Power of Your Brokerage

If you have a brokerage, be sure to talk about what makes your brokerage unique. Highlight past experience and successes, and focus on how your brokerage will add value to your client’s listing as well.

12. Ask Questions, Build Trust, and Identify Motivation

Before you tour the home or jump into your own background, sit down and ask the client some questions to get to know them, build rapport, and understand their goals for selling their home. Some good questions to ask include:

• The reason they want to sell their home and what date they need to move by
• What area they are looking to move to, and if they’ve already found a home there
• What’s more important to them: selling their home quickly, or for the best price
• What their alternative plans are in case their home doesn’t sell
• What their ideal listing agent would look like
• How much they still owe on their mortgage and whether or not the property has any liens
• If there are any hidden issues with the home
• Their experience level with selling homes, and what those other experiences were like

The more you can connect with the client in these first 15 to 20 minutes, the better the listing presentation will go.

13. Tour The Home

Next, after you’ve gotten to know the seller, ask them if they can give you a tour of the inside and outside of their home before you begin your presentation.

As they’re showing you around, have them point out details about their home. For example, any work they’ve done and any work they know needs to be done before they sell the home.

Your goal is to get them to point out that their house isn’t perfect. This will give you a couple of details to lean on later when you’re discussing the price.

As you’re walking through the house, be very observant and take your time looking at every aspect, including the ceilings.

14. Tailor Your Presentation to Relate to Sellers Motivation

Use the client’s answers to the questions above to create a story in your real estate listing presentation. Go through a comparative market analysis ( CMA ) and show them the listings that have and haven’t sold in the area.

For example, you might find a listing that was priced way too high, sat on the market for 125 days, and sold for 10k below its listing price. Explain to your client all these details, and then show them a listing of another home that was perfectly staged and photographed.

Show them how it got a contract in seven days for above the asking price, which may also be their goal for their own home. This way, you’re creating a more relatable story for your client, and they will want to follow the same strategy as the second home.

Tips For Research

15. do your research.

Everyone knows that knowledge is power, and power breeds confidence. Doing your research ahead of time will give you the knowledge you need to keep the ball in your court.

One strategy is to call recently sold listings in your client’s neighborhood and ask those agents how they thought the sale went and if they can give you any tips on selling in the area.

16. Automated Values

Be sure to cover Zestimates and tax values in your presentation. The prospective seller probably came across these numbers already and will want to know if they are accurate or not.

A couple of questions you can ask your clients to get an estimate of what they think their home is worth include:

• What do you think your home is worth, based on the research you’ve done?
• What number do you think is a good starting point for your home?

17. Local Market Statistics

During your real estate listing presentation, have some statistics on hand for the local market so that the client can compare their home to others in the area. These should include:

• Average days on the market for homes in the area
• Average sales price
• Price per square foot
• Inventory level

18. Neighborhood Comp Analysis

Be ready with a comp analysis. Choose four to five other homes in the neighborhood that are similar to the client’s home and become familiar with the ins and outs of those properties.

After you’ve toured their home, you’ll have a better idea of which comp to show them.

You can let them know how long they can expect the selling process to take based on the average list price to sales price, sold comps, available comps, and days on the market.

Tips For Moving Forward

19. refine value.

Once you have a good feel for the home, let the home seller know if you think the home’s value should be higher or lower than your initial assumption based on the market data.

At that point, you can tell them that you recommend listing their home for X amount to have the most realistic chance of selling it.

In order to figure out a good price, you can use the MLS to find out the average list price to sales price ratio for a certain neighborhood.

20. Outline Your Pricing Strategy

Go through your pricing strategy and let your clients know how you determine if a home is above, fair to, or below the market value.

21. Explain Your Sales Process

Your real estate listing presentation is a great chance for you to go through each step of your sales process, from pre-listing to closing. Explain every detail, so your clients can know what to expect when working with you.

22. Additional Included Services

Offer the client any other services that you and your team provide. This could be transaction management, a preferred vendor list, or buyer services.

23. Don’t Be a “Yes” Agent Just to Win New Business

Stay firm on your process and pricing. Some sellers will see if they can get you to negotiate on your own terms. However, this isn’t advisable. Stick to your process and price, and be confident in your knowledge and research.

24. Prepare For Some Objections and Lots of Questions

To that end, be prepared to face some  real estate objections  and questions about your experience, process, and pricing. Some of the questions might include:

• What makes you different from other realtors in the area? How are you better?
• Why do your credentials make you the right person to sell my home?
• How familiar are you with this market? Have you sold homes in this area before?
• What is your opinion on my home, and what do you think we can do for it to sell better?
• Do you have an ideal list price in mind for my home? If so, is it lower or higher than what I think it is?
• What are your sales and marketing strategies for listing a home?
• How many other clients are you working with, if any? Will your workload affect your ability to work on my home?
• I’ve spoken to another real estate agent who said they would list my home for a certain percent. Can you match that?

25. Follow up with a Thank You Note

Even if you don’t walk away with a  signed listing agreement  in hand, be sure to send a thank you note. Mail this out the day before your appointment, so it arrives soon after the appointment is over. This will ensure you make a good impression on everyone you meet.

15 Advanced Real Estate Listing Presentation Insights for Agents

Creating stellar real estate listing presentations is how most seller’s agents convert more leads and, in turn, build their business.

The best real estate listing presentations offer:

• Data regarding the local market and comparable sales
• Insights into how you plan to market a prospect’s home
• Social proof that proves you’re a top-notch seller’s agent.

And that’s just to start with. There are several other elements you need to make your pitch truly effective.

Use the 15 sales tips below to boost your lead-to-client conversion numbers and convince leads you’re the premier agent for the job. Plus as a bonus we provide answers to listing presentation questions.

Focus on your lead’s situation and needs first.

After adding in the core info associated with your business, turn your attention to your seller lead.

You need to know all about their situation, including their selling timeline, in order to create a real estate listing presentation that truly resonates. In our Marketing Genius podcast episode “The Road To $20 Million,” Seattle agent Melissa Boucher says that these insights can even come down to how the seller is feeling; are they sad to see the property go? Are they making a tough decision?

Before your in-person pitch, research their residence:

• Square footage
• Room totals
• Total acreage

And discover its history:

• When it was built
• How many times it’s changed owners
• Renovations and updates that have occurred

Then, consider all the notes you have on your seller’s preferences and needs.

For instance, a lead could note they’re only willing to sell the home as-is and not make any repairs a potential buyer may request.

In this situation, you can make a note in your listing presentation that you will incorporate this information into your real estate marketing plan for the home.

Analyze all info leads provide you before your pitch.

If you’re like most modern agents, you capture real estate leads in a variety of ways, both online and offline. Not all leads are created equal, but there’s an easy way to spot a good one.

The key trait that signifies a high-quality lead is how much info they provide you.

Those who solely offer first, last name and email address can be good leads, but it’s the prospects who offer more details regarding their unique housing situations who are a cut above the rest.

Most often, home seller leads will share extra information when they are submitting a lead capture form on your site (e.g. through a home valuation page or custom lead capture page ).

For example, some leads may detail when they intend to list their home, their preferred price point, and an overview of what their home’s star attributes.

All of this info needs to end up in the lead profile section of your contacts database so you can comb over it whenever you need — like, for instance, right before pitching them in person.

Incorporate data from the local housing market.

Whether it’s from your area’s REALTORS® Association, local government, or a housing-related organization nearby, you should include important figures in your listing presentation. This can include home sales, price, and value figures for your market – basically, any information that a seller could use to make more informed decisions.

For example, knowing the sales totals for homes in the same development or neighborhood as a seller lead’s property can help them settle on an initial list price.

You can never get too granular with data for your deck. Just remember not to bore your prospects to death with math.

Share data that directly applies to their home selling situation so they understand what to expect prior to listing.

Detail comparable home sales from the past year.

Part of your local housing market data research should focus on comparable home sales from the past.

Find a half-dozen or so homes that sold in your potential client’s town (or region, if it’s a small town with few sales). Try your best to find comparable sales that occurred in the past year, because housing market conditions change often.

Make sure these properties are as similar to your lead’s listing as possible to provide a solid comparison.

Characteristics to take into account include:

• Size (total number of rooms and square footage),
• Notable features (in-ground pool, gazebo, high ceilings)
• Price point (both initial asking and eventual final sales price)

Lastly, tell your seller a story. How long did it take for them to sell? Did they receive above or below asking price?

Add quotes from satisfied clients to your deck.

Customer satisfaction should be the focal point of any real estate listing presentation deck.

Social proof helps agents generate leads , for sure. But it’s also a premier lead nurturing tool.

If you already took photos and footage of your past customers right after closing so you could share their praise on your website, you can simply repurpose that content for your listing presentation.

Select the best quotes from your most satisfied clientele, and sellers who share the most similarities with the lead you’re pitching.

Once a seller sees that you’ve successfully represented someone just like them, they’ll feel much more at ease in agreeing to let you represent their listing.

Paint a picture regarding your marketing approach.

The primary focus for your real estate listing presentation needs to be how you’ll market a lead’s home.

Sure, you want to prove you’re a stellar agent who has a history of closing amazing deals for clients.

But that sales-oriented angle needs to be secondary to making your potential client feel special. Fortunately, you can achieve this by presenting a marketing strategy that is unique to their property.

You no doubt have a real estate listing marketing playbook . However, that doesn’t mean you can’t or shouldn’t modify that approach slightly for each new client you earn.

Every home seller wants to feel as if you’ll do anything and everything to get them a fantastic deal that puts lots of money in their pockets.

So, use the first half of your listing presentation to tell them how you plan to deliver on that promise.

Figure out how you’ll relay your value proposition.

According to the National Association of REALTORS®, most sellers hire real estate agents referred to them (two-thirds, to be precise).

While you could get good word-of-mouth to entice seller leads to select your firm, you still need to show why their friends, family, and coworkers chose to work with you in the first place.

Some of the best ways you can differentiate yourself from the competition are to:

• Build a strong web presence, starting with a responsive website
• Be detailed regarding your marketing process, from start to finish
• Share photos and videos of your most satisfied clients with leads

A real estate listing presentation is a great opportunity to communicate what makes your business unique and distinct from other agencies.

Are you particularly good at negotiation? Communication? Staying organized? Knowing a neighborhood inside and out? Providing white glove service?

Whatever your specialty is, make sure it shines through in your deck.

Prepare for some objections and lots of questions.

It’s inevitable: Your seller leads are going to have a fair number of questions during your real estate listing presentations .

It’s only natural: They’re still getting to know you and can’t leave any stone unturned when vetting your business.

The good news? Every question is a chance for you to prove your expertise and build trust. You just need to have great answers prepared ahead of time.

Some of the most common seller lead questions pertain to:

• How you view your agency in comparison with others
• Your qualifications, certifications, and designations
• Providing proof you’re trustworthy and easy to work with
• Sharing specific details about your past transactions

Of course, there are also going to be questions you can’t anticipate.

While you want to be as forthcoming and honest as possible, don’t feel obligated to provide in-depth answers on the spot if you’re not sure.

If you think you’d be better served writing a comprehensive email to leads post-presentation to answer their questions, let them know you’ll get back to them with a reply later that day.

Practice your sales pitch over and over again.

We’re not going to tell you “practice makes perfect” (although, I suppose we just kind of did).

But it really is best to nail down every aspect of your listing presentation speech so it’s well-timed, compelling, and inspiring.

Here’s a great checklist California-based REALTOR Kathy Smiley posted on ActiveRain that can help you practice your pitch.

This list covers all of the essential listing presentation tasks you need to carry out in order to get your points across in a timely and efficient manner.

If you feel more comfortable “winging it” than preparing for hours beforehand, just be sure you have at least a handful of talking points memorized so you don’t forget to mention important items to your prospects.

Dress like you’ve already made the sale.

As a general rule, dressing for real estate success means wearing something that makes you feel comfortable, confident, and professional.

But there are some guidelines to keep in mind:

• Business casual will never go out of style, meaning suits and pantsuits are always going to help you put your best foot forward during listing presentations and other on-the-job situations.
• Your style will likely be influenced by your particular market. Agents in cold- and hot-weather markets, for instance, will certainly want to dress accordingly based on their area climates.
• You can also take style cues from the home seller you’re doing business with. Melissa Boucher’s advice? “You can’t come in dressed to the nines if you know that person’s understated. Know your audience, know yourself, and find that happy medium.”

When selecting an outfit for your real estate listing presentation, just be sure that the answer to “Will my lead consider me a serious, dedicated, and successful real estate agent ?” is yes.

Allow time for questions during your presentation.

Everyone has one of those friends who loves to dominate the conversation. But you can’t afford to be that person during your listing presentation.

Real estate, after all, is a people business. This means you have to be a first-rate listener to comprehend your prospective client’s wants and needs. From there, you can develop a plan of action to win them over.

This is just one of several listing presentation mistakes you could make. Be sure to comb over our list of other errors to avoid as well.

Have good posture and body language throughout.

As real estate trainer Dirk Zeller notes in a piece for Chicago Agent Magazine, confident body language is an essential piece of your listing presentations .

• “Where have you experienced victories? Tap into those past experiences as you pump up your confidence in preparation for prospect presentations. If you lack confidence, determine what you need to do to increase the level of belief in yourself and your ability to achieve success.”

You’re not always going to feel confident and assertive and on top of the world. No one does.

But if you recall how you’ve converted leads into clients in the past and what you felt during those sales pitches, you can use that memory to keep winning over new business.

Think about the ways you can physically communicate self-assurance, poise, and certainty (e.g. use of hand movement, or maintaining eye contact with the seller), and use that body language to your advantage.

It’s also helpful to think about what poor body language can do to your pitch (hint: derail it entirely).

Finish your pitch, even if you think it’s not working.

You may be able to tell from a prospect’s body language or verbal cues that they aren’t responding to your presentation the way you’d hoped.

Regardless, conclude your presentation as if you were pitching a “hot” lead you can tell is going to sign on with you.

You never know: Someone who seemingly isn’t intrigued by what you’re throwing out there may actually just be quiet and unresponsive in general and actually interested.

Don’t be a “yes” agent just to win new business.

Every business has a “yes” person. They want to work their way up the ladder and/or close more deals by being as agreeable as possible.

This tact may work for some professionals in some organizations … but chances are, this is not going to lead to a converted seller client.

Just because you really want someone’s business doesn’t mean it’s worth nodding in approval to every request they make or mandate they lay out.

Doing so could lead to some (or many) unfulfilled promises during the sales process and, in turn, cause your clients to question your methods or even fire you.

Be open and upfront with your clients regarding what they can expect from you throughout the entire home selling process.

[Bonus] How to Ace Real Estate Listing Presentation Questions

Prepare thoroughly for your real estate listing presentations and you’ll set yourself up for success.

No matter how much you script the conversation for your listing presentations, though, they won’t always go exactly to plan. Sellers will have questions for you regarding everything from your experience as a real estate agent to what sets you apart from the competition.

The following questions are the most common ones to expect during and after your sales pitch, along with the optimal answer for each. Check them out so you’ll be ready to ace your listing presentations and win customers.

Q) “What are your credentials? What makes you the right person to sell my home?”

Off the bat, sellers will want to know if your qualifications meet their standards for representation. So, present all certifications and designations you have as a real estate agent. Realtors who’ve earned accreditations through the National Association of REALTORS ® should make that known. Sellers may not be familiar with each official title, but your position establishes you as dedicated and knowledgeable.

Regarding your sales history, reveal how many homes you’ve sold in previous months and years, the average sales price of each property type, and other statistical data that sellers will find impressive. Though past sales aren’t always necessarily indicative of future sales, a thorough explanation of your sales history and big “wins” as an agent can help your standing with leads.

Additionally, let sellers know during your listing presentation if you work part-time or full-time as a real estate agent. Being a full-time agent often carries more weight with prospective clients, as you show complete dedication to the job and don’t have any other responsibilities that can take away from helping sellers market their properties.

If you work part-time, spin the positives of your situation. For instance, share tidbits about your work ethic. Even get former employers to provide testimonials regarding your work to show prospective clients you’re serious about meeting your commitments.

Moreover, if real estate isn’t the only job you have, then explain that even though you’re only working part-time, you can still focus all of your attention on client needs. In either case, explain how you stay in touch with clients and your standards for timely responses to communications.

Q) “How are you better than other local agents? What makes you different?”

First off, don’t use the word “better” during real estate listing presentations. In fact, don’t compare yourself to other agents at all. Saying you’re a step above the competition can come off as arrogant. While you should be confident in your own work as an agent, it’s not worth positioning yourself as above other real estate pros by disparaging them to prop yourself up.

The best way to highlight your abilities as an agent is simply explaining why you’re passionate about real estate. Listing presentations that show your enthusiasm for the day-to-day work that comes along with being an agent instill faith in sellers. Share some background info on how you got started in the industry, how you delight your clients , and items on your track record that reflect your go-getter attitude.

Some characteristics of your work and personality to share with leads should include your:

• Ability to build relationships and relate to others: Knowing you can make good impressions on buyers will impress sellers, so be as amiable and engaging during your listing presentation as possible to show your personality.
• Savviness with the latest real estate technology: It’s the 21st century. Knowing what apps, tools, gadgets, and tech resources to use in your real estate marketing gives you a leg up on agents stuck in the 20th century.
• Enjoyment in helping people sell and find homes: You got into real estate to help people, right? Then share the satisfaction you get in helping buyers and sellers close deals and achieve their goals.

Q) “What experience do you have with my local market? Have you sold homes here before?”

When mentioning past clientele, segue into your history of selling in your local real estate market. The more established you are as an agent in your community, the more trust you earn from leads. Outline specific, memorable deals you closed — perhaps a home that’s similar in style, age, or price as the residence of those you’re pitching to.

Then, demonstrate the knowledge you have about the local market, like its history, the quality of its school system and economy, and any favorite spots you have nearby (restaurants, retail, movie theaters, parks, etc.). This shows you are an expert about the area and, in turn, know how to pitch local properties to buyers.

The best listing presentation is the one where you show you know the most about a specific real estate market, so no fact or note is too small to share with leads. A great way to ensure you convey your knowledge about the market is to create listing presentations using graphic creation tools . With these resources, you can visually represent local market data, like average closing prices of homes for sale, to persuade sellers about your abilities.

Q) “What do you think of my home? How would you change it to help sell it better?”

This question requires arguably the most spontaneous answer, given that up until your listing presentation, you likely haven’t had the chance to examine the property thoroughly. So, use this as an opportunity to get the grand tour of their residence and property. Take note of specific features you want to highlight and how the seller can make their home more desirable to buyers.

There’s a flipside to that coin, though: Be careful not to insult sellers when pointing out areas of their home that need cleaning, adjusting, or improving. Providing constructive criticism is one thing — telling sellers they need to change most things in their home to help it sell better can lead to a quick exit from your listing presentation.

You won’t be able to provide all of your detailed thoughts on sellers’ homes on the spot, so let them know you’d love to give them a more thorough analysis via email after the presentation is over. This allows you to nurture the lead after pitching them and stay top-of-mind with them during their agent selection process.

Q) “What do you think is an ideal list price for my home? I think it’s $_____.”

Before jumping in with your recommendation, let sellers know what comparable homes in their area have sold for in the past year, along with where the local real estate market is headed in terms of demand and supply. Sellers aren’t always cognizant of the factors that go into crafting the right list price, so explaining these to your leads can help them better understand your suggested price.

Some sellers have unrealistic prices in mind and they’re unwilling to budge. This could be a sign the leads aren’t worth representing, so watch out for any red-flag statements, like “I’m not willing to go under $_____” or “My home is definitely worth $_____.” Conversely, those who are willing to adjust their price if needed and negotiate with buyers will be more rewarding as customers. Representing flexible sellers instead of inflexible ones means a better chance of a quick and fair commission (as well as fewer headaches).

Q) “What sales and marketing strategies do you employ for clients’ homes?”

Now it’s time to really get down to business and put your agent hat on. Getting into the nitty-gritty of your business methods — like where you promote listings and how you attract potential buyers — is what really displays your prowess as an agent. Specifically, explain the core real estate marketing and sales tactics you use, including how you:

• Conduct showings and open houses: We don’t just mean when you schedule showings and open houses, but how you work with walk-ins and buyer leads. Share how you sell specific features of a home (the lifestyle, the comfort, the utility, etc.) to show you’re an adept salesperson.
• Market clients’ homes for sale online:  Divulge how you make clients’ listings appear attractive online, like taking aesthetically appealing photos, creating cutting-edge tour videos, and developing rich, detailed copy about listings .
• Leverage connections for buyer leads: Regarding offline marketing strategies, also relay how you use other agents, friends, family members, previous clients, and other connections to seek out potential buyers.

All of this information should be shared in a timeline format to give sellers a sense of how the process will go — from the moment you sign your agreement to closing.

Q) “How do you communicate with clients regarding offers, showings, and other key info?”

Constant communication with sellers (without annoying or overwhelming them) is essential — as is explaining to seller leads how you will keep them in the loop during the sales process. During a listing presentation, real estate agents can sometimes gloss over this important aspect, so be sure to detail a clear-cut communication plan with prospective clients. Ask how they prefer to be contacted to discuss sales progress and how to relay bids on their property.

Some sellers will be very particular about what times work for them. Given that last-minute showing requests tend to pop up, also ask sellers when it would be okay to enter to give tours. Remember their personal space is important, so be respectful, but be sure you’ll have the access you need.

Q) “What’s your workload like? Would I be your only client or are you working with other clients?”

Having said that, many people are understanding of a real estate agent’s need to take on multiple sellers. In fact, many probably prefer to see their agent busy, since it’s indicative of a quality business. So, the more clients you take on, the better it can look in the eyes of prospects.

Q) “What are the typical terms of your listing agreements with other clients?”

If you start talking contracts, then you’re doing well in your listing presentation. However, you can ruin the mood quickly by providing a laundry list of contract terms you request of sellers. Instead, tell sellers you simply want to make them comfortable with any listing agreement they sign with you. Explain to them the core items generally included in statements, like duties you’ll perform as their agent, and ask them for their thoughts on terms they’d like to include.

From there, create an agreement based on both your preferences and those of sellers, send it to them after the listing presentation, and let them know you’ll be waiting to hear from them regarding a final answer (hopefully with good news).

Q) “If I hire you to sell my home, will you represent just my interests or the buyer’s too?”

Dual agency is something countless home sellers are fuzzy on, but many are wising up to the practice. If you can and do practice dual agency, be 110% upfront with your leads about it. Gauge their comfort level with knowing you may end up representing both them and buyer to see if they’re okay with it. As pointed out by recent Redfin research, sellers tend to lose financially in dual agency deals , so tread carefully. The last thing you want to do is favor one party at the expense of the other.

Of course, if you solely represent the sellers, you’ve got nothing to explain — except that you’re devoted to helping them sell their home for the best price and fast. You could even point out why this may be more favorable than representation by those who act as dual agents, given you have only their interests at heart.

21 Steps to a Stellar Listing Presentation

It’s all here. Twenty one great ideas for building your listing business from the ground up, all neatly packaged in a step-by-step action plan. Let us know how it goes.

Set a Strong Foundation

1 build an online presence.

Use your website, blog, or social media channels to publish articles that demonstrate your core competencies. Do you specialize in upscale properties? Do your staged homes sell 30 percent faster and closer to list price than market averages? Your articles could also include seasonal tips for home maintenance, tips to prepare your home for sale, or market data for buyers. Share the content on your Facebook page.

2 Monitor your online appearance

What is showing up when someone searches your name? One of the easiest and most effective ways to monitor your reputation comes from Google Alerts, a free Google service that allows you to enter a search term (i.e. your name, company, etc.) and then receive email alerts as the system finds matches.

3 Practice your presentation

“Can you cut your commission rate?” and “I was going to try and sell it myself” are common objections heard by Realtors®. To prepare, ask a colleague to role play with you, maybe even serve your pitch at a sales meeting.

Supplement your standard listing presentation materials

A listing presentation isn’t complete without your bio, testimonials, marketing strategies and more. If these documents are in PDF format, quickly upload them to your RPR account and then easily include them in your RPR reports. Here are a few things you might want to include:

4 Bio “Your Story”

Tell your story in 75 words or less, just enough to cover the highlights of why someone would want to work with you. Are you a lifelong community member? Do you do volunteer work? How long have you been a Realtor and are you a Top Producer?

5 Social Proof

Do your clients love you? Get proof! Take the time to collect testimonials from your past clients in print or video format. Also, collect any news clips that back up your professionalism or credibility.

6 Personal Statistics

Your success record is worth sharing. Sellers want to know you’ve done this before and for similar homes. Consider creating a map that highlights your past sales activity. Do your staged homes sell 30 percent faster and closer to list price than market averages? Let your prospects know with a simple chart.

7 Service Levels

Differentiate yourself from other agents in the market by showing how your service levels will exceed seller expectations. Do you have an assistant or are you part of a team? What kind of communication can the seller expect, both in scheduling showings, and follow-up and feedback from the showing agent? How often will they receive market updates? (See the section below on Using Creative Delivery Systems.)

8 Marketing Plan

There’s a lot of competitive marketing in the real estate industry. How will you go above and beyond to capture the attention of home buyers? Your plan should include strengths offered through your MLS, website, advertising strategy, staging resources, special virtual tour/video marketing, photographers, local Broker tours, etc. Be creative.

9 Take a photo of the property

Make the extra effort to drive by and snap a photo of the property, then upload it to the cover of your RPR report . It will demonstrate your commitment to individual attention and give you an opportunity to check out the condition of the property. That insight will be helpful when you refine the value of the property using RPR.

The Phone Call

10 ask questions.

Every question you ask, big or small, demonstrates interest in the homeowner’s personal well being. And what’s more personal than selling the biggest investment of your lifetime? Find out what makes your client click.

• Why are they moving and when?
• Are they relying on the sale proceeds to fund a retirement?
• Does the house need too much work and they want something maintenance free?
• Are they downsizing in preparation for retirement?
• What did they love and “not love” about the house? The neighborhood?

No other CMA tool will do…

11 do your research.

Did you know that Realtors® have the power to analyze and manage a platform of unparalleled data to the extent that no other search mechanism offers? In fact, no other real estate data sharing website offers side-by-side, listing vs. public record comparisons like RPR. Here you’ll find current and historical property information, the home’s basic facts, photos, maps, mortgage records, tax info, the Refined Value Tool, comp analysis tool, and more.

12 Automated Values

No matter what, consumers are going online to look at the value of their homes. Yet, we know that not all of these sources are reliable. Use this as an opportunity to include the exclusive RPR Realtors Valuation Model® (RVM®) in your pricing discussions. Your clients will be impressed by its level of accuracy.

13 Create a CMA

Not all CMAs are cut from the same cloth. RPR’s CMA wizard walks you through five simple steps to generate a Comparative Market Analysis unlike any other offered in today’s real estate industry. You’ll confirm the home’s facts, search for and adjust the comps, land on your own list price by refining the property’s value, and then generate an RPR Seller’s Report. All in one place and with the highest level of accuracy afforded to today’s Realtor.

14  Refine Value

Every homeowner wants to know the return on investment for their home improvements. Here, savvy agents will tap into RPR’s Refine Value Tool . With up to 30 predefined home improvements to choose from, the tool accurately calculates the depreciated value of home improvements. The tool also enables users to refine a home’s value by confirming/adjusting basic facts about the property, as well as other factors such as an assessment of local market conditions, the interior and exterior of the home’s condition, lot size, view, privacy, and more.

15 Market Stats

Our mindsets move far beyond our own particular home. Both buyers and sellers want to know everything about the neighborhood, local economy, quality of life, and economy. All of that and more are a few quick clicks away at RPR.

No other CMA tool will do …

16 rpr reports.

Don’t let your lead get away without sending the seller something before your actual listing presentation. Use what you’ve garnered from RPR to create and send RPR’s Market Activity and/or Property Report. Be sure to let the sellers know that you have the power to refine the value of their home (using RPR) once you’ve had a chance to tour the property and see their upgrades first hand.

17 Use Creative Delivery Systems

Oftentimes, the opportunity to meet prospects or clients face to face is hampered by distance, personal schedules, or even preference. Yet, you know that nothing conveys professionalism and expertise more than personal interaction. There must be a way to virtually, if not literally, meet your clients “where they are. ”

BombBomb , a video marketing platform, helps REALTORS® prove their “client first” commitment by offering intuitive, low-cost digital communications solutions. With BombBomb, you can create a personalized video message and email it to clients within minutes. And because the app is integrated with RPR, REALTORS® can seamlessly include an RPR report. Then by way of real-time alerts, see when your client has interacted with the email. These live notifications are key in determining the best time to follow up.

18  Create Your RPR Seller’s Report

Pull your analysis all together into a customized RPR Seller’s Report , complete with an updated photo of the property, as well as your photo and contact information. Inside, the Seller’s Report highlights details of the subject property, your comp analysis with side-by-side property comparisons, local market trends, a pricing strategy, and a worksheet for estimated seller proceeds. RPR’s Seller’s Report can also be displayed and/or emailed from your laptop, phone, or tablet.

19  Identify the Seller’s Motivation

While with the homeowners, be sure to listen closely to what the sellers are saying. Selling a home is a deeply emotional experience for most and they want a Realtor who understands how personal it is. Revisit some of the questions you asked earlier. Why are they moving and what is their timeline? Are they using the proceeds to fund a retirement plan? Are children involved? What improvements are needed to sell the home?

20 The RPR App

Showing is always better than telling, so here’s where your impressive tech skills come into play. Respond instantly to your seller’s questions with RPR Mobile™ on your handheld device . Show the prospect how their home compares to those on the market. Click on the magnifying glass to display a map of the nearby area. Then, select any home’s icon to go to the property’s full details, including price, history, photos, and more.

21  Follow up With a Thank you Note

The five minutes it takes to write a personal thank you card to prospects is worth it’s weight in gold (or actual listings). Very few of our contemporaries take this route in our digital world. So set yourself apart. In fact, send flowers.

Great ideas here! I love that you can produce a report in seconds. Keep up the great work RPR!

Great info. Would love to see this all put together so I could customize for my market or listing appointment. A template.

Me as well. I love the RPR product.

Great information.Would love to see if we can customize these for listing appointments

I knew RPR will seal the deal for me. Kudo to RPR.

When I first became a REALTOR five years ago, a veteran agent showed me how she completed a CMA for an upcoming listing appointment. SIX HOURS later, and we still weren’t done! I thought to myself, “I’m just going to stick to BUYERS”! Fast forward, I now use RPR exclusively for creating in-depth reports for my potential Sellers AND for my Buyers preparing offers. I wouldn’t consider using any other program! Thank you for these great ideas, I’m going to start to implement them immediately.

I woukd like to sign up

I would love to see a template, also.

I would like to add just the type of home such as reverse 1 1/2 or ranch only as not to compare to 2 story homes

Do you have a tutorial showing each of these steps? I read it and understand in theory but I am a visula learner and once I SEE how it’s done I can modify it. I cannot visualize each of these steps. It seems logical but a bit overwhelming without any examples. A video tutorial step by step would be helpful. A template might work but it would not show the step by step of HOW it was done but it would be good also to see a finished product. It seems that RPR is a tool that a computer presentation w/ video capability is best. Is your CMA best on a phone on a computer screen? or is it printable. So many questions… I really need to see it in action.

25 Tips for Winning Real Estate Listing Presentations

Maddie Heye

Last updated: Jul 18 2019 . 8 min read

Coffee snob or not, I bet you’d admit there isn’t really that much fundamentally different between the offering of your favorite local coffee shop and that of the Starbucks around the corner. You can count on them both having coffee, tea, a selection of cookies, and maybe even a croissant or two. So, what is it that makes you favor the local shop day in and day out? Odds are, it’s the customer experience it provides you with from the moment you arrive until the second you leave.

The barista at the local shop knows your name, the chairs are comfy, your favorite band is playing through the speakers and the coffee mugs fit in your hand just right. Sure, you could go to a Starbucks and leave with a (debatably) comparable cup of coffee, but you won’t get the warm fuzzy feeling that the local shop provides – that sense of connection that we’re all searching for in the crowded consumer space we’re faced with today.

We’d argue that your real estate listing presentations serve as your first major chance to set yourself apart from the generic “Starbucks” of the real estate world. This requires that you not only show sellers what services you offer (as any agent can do that), but that you give them a glimpse into what the entire home selling experience will look like with you from start to finish, warm fuzzy feeling and all.

Here are our top tips for creating real estate listing presentations that will give you an edge and convince sellers to list with you time and time again:

Personalize.

1. Start from scratch.  No two clients are alike. Each has their own wants, needs, and dreams, making it essential that you tailor your listing presentations to them accordingly. Instead of using the same presentation outline over and over again, start fresh. Sure, it’s probably efficient to add in a few of your pre-made slides that are relevant cross-clients, however striving to build the majority of your presentations from scratch will force you to do so with your specific clients in mind.

2. Snap a pic of the home.  If the house hasn’t been listed on the MLS in the past few years, it’s your time to shine. Hire your go-to professional photographer to grab a snap of their home ahead of time. Not only will including it in your presentation add a nice personal touch, but it’s also an opportunity for you to give your prospects a glimpse into the high-quality resources you’ll utilize to sell their home.

3. Add rich media.  Record a video for your clients detailing what you love about their listing and why you’re so excited to work with them. Pop it into your listing presentation before sending it/presenting it to them to give them a personalized experience from the very moment they open the prez.

4. Don’t use real estate lingo.  The real estate industry tends to use a lot of acronyms – CMA, FSBO, MLS, FMV – the list could go on and on. Chances are, the majority of the population has no clue what these mean, which makes using them a great way to make your clients feel more like they’re sitting in a chemistry lecture rather than a listing presentation. Avoid this industry jargon in your presentations and instead use common language that even someone completely new to the world of real estate will understand, at least at first.

5. Know the home.  Find out as much as you possibly can about the property prior to giving a listing presentation. This should include info such as:

• The square footage of the home
• Total acreage
• The room and bathroom totals
• Any notable history about the home
• The most popular restaurants/parks nearby

6. Do your research.  Familiarize yourself with the market. Consider going beyond the data and physically visiting a few of the comparable properties in the area to better prepare yourself to answer any related questions your clients may have.

Make the best first impression.

7. Show up early.  The best way to make a bad first impression is by showing up to the presentation appearing frazzled and rushed. Instead, show up at least 15 minutes early and wait in your car. This will give you time to breathe, gather your thoughts, give yourself a pep talk, and enter the house feeling ready to win business.

8. Dress like a winner.  Love it or hate it, your personal brand and how you present yourself is closely correlated to your ability to win listings. Dress professionally, modern, and maybe even add a little flare such as bright dress socks or fun earrings to help you stand out.

9. Smile.  You might be nervous, and your mind might be going in a million different directions, but do your best not to show it. Smile so you come across as calm and accessible.

10. Project confidence.  Even if you’re asked a question that totally catches you off guard, don’t let it hinder your ability to appear confident.

11. Be honest.  Sometimes when you’re put on the spot, it can be tempting to sugarcoat things in order to please or impress the people sitting across from you. This usually doesn’t end well, so make sure to be honest and upfront about everything. Share the good and the bad, and be productive with your advice.

12. Be positive.  Don’t talk poorly about your fellow agents. Keep it positive, and you’ll likely receive the same respect in return.

13. Use the right title.  Don’t refer to yourself as a Salesman, as the first thing clients will think of is their local car dealership. Instead, refer to yourself as a trusted consultant. This will imply that you are there to assist, guide, and inform them.

Come prepared.

14. Ask questions.  Sellers want to feel heard by you. Come with a list of thoughtful questions to ask them in order to demonstrate that you truly care about their personal wants and needs.

15. Let them ask questions.  Instead of breezing through your presentation, pause and give them chances to interject and ask questions throughout.

16. Bring the value from the get-go.  Arrive at the meeting with a list of low-cost repairs that will quickly increase the value of the home. These suggestions might include:

• Painting over small flaws in the current paint
• Replacing any outdated light fixtures
• Cleaning out any cluttered areas
• Staging the main living areas

17. Be informative, not aggressive.  We’ve all experienced a sales agent so pushy that we left the interaction no longer wanting to purchase a product or service simply because of that negative experience. Be helpful, kind, and informative, but don’t lay on the pressure. Let your work and preparedness speak for itself to win clients over.

18. Illustrate your qualifications.  Love it or hate it, prospects care about your reputation so be sure to show up prepared with visuals that demonstrate it. From testimonials, to awards that you’ve won at your brokerage, make sure to let clients know you’re the real deal.

19. Prepare for objections.  If you’ve done real estate listing presentations before, you know things don’t always go as planned. There’s no way to know exactly what sellers are going to ask, and what kind of information they’re going to want to know from you. This is where the importance of having a reliable  real estate CMA tool  comes into play. Make sure your tool is one that allows you to respond to questions and objections on-the-fly and provides your clients with reliable data.

20. Give them a process overview.  Particularly for clients who have never sold a home before, the entire process can be confusing and a bit daunting. Make a list complete with an overview of what the experience will look like, and what kinds of strategies you like to use. Having a general idea of what to expect can quickly calm the nerves of sellers.

21. Give them an overview of your business.  Do you often volunteer within the local community? Does your business sponsor the high school soccer team? Share it all with your clients, as every bit of good counts for something.

22. Bring a leave-behind.  Bring along a few quality brochures or a printout version of the presentation to leave behind.

Post real estate listing presentations.

23. Follow up.  Send them a handwritten note immediately after your presentation thanking them for meeting with you.

24. Gift.  Including a small gift with your note definitely couldn’t do any harm, but be thoughtful about it. Do they have a dog? Get them a fancy dog biscuit. Are they total foodies? Get them a gift card to the newest local bakery.

25. Wait.  While it can be tempting to call prospects the next morning after a presentation, sit tight and give them some more time to mull things over – but not too much time, as you want to stay top-of-mind. Consider checking in with them two days after the presentation to achieve both.

25 Real Estate Presentation Ideas and Tips: How to Make it Work

Table of contents.

Presentations are a big deal in the entire business realm. It is even more important for a real estate agent to get more listings and, consequently, sales.

The goal of a real estate agent’s presentation should be to educate clients on what they need to do to buy or sell their property as quickly and for as much money as possible.

This blog post will discuss 25 real estate presentation ideas and tips that can help you create an effective presentation, from layout ideas to social media tactics and everything in between.

Tip #1: Build a strong online presence and keep it active

A real estate listing presentation will be more accessible and more convincing with a strong online presence . Build and keep your LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and other social media accounts in order. These sites serve as an excellent way for potential buyers to find out about you.

Building an online presence will also make it easier to find prospective clients through sites like Zillow. It also helps a lot when you constantly follow conversations about real estate in your area. 

Social media channels let you engage with people talking about topics related to the industry, helping you establish yourself as an expert online.

One of the most successful real estate agents once wrote on their Facebook page, saying, “It is important for agents to have a strong presence online because buyers will often search for properties by going directly onto websites such as Trulia or Zillow instead of asking their agent first.

Therefore, if they don’t see listings from local agents, then there’s no chance for them to buy them.” Truer words were never spoken.

The more time you spend building up relationships and making connections on these platforms, the better off you’ll be when it comes down to getting your listing and making a sale.

Keeping active means posting useful information constantly and engaging your audience. When writing social media content:

• Use the three primary colors (red, blue, and yellow) for headings.
• Bullet points may be appropriate when describing features such as “This property has five bedrooms” but not necessary otherwise.
• Provide information about where people would find specific keywords – with bullet points for features such as “This property has five bedrooms”

Tip#2: Prepare well before a presentation

A strong online presence is not enough. When the time comes for successful sales presentations , you want to build trust with your audience personally. And that means practicing well before the real thing.

Go through your real estate listing presentation template with your friends or just real people. Practicing the presentation will help you identify any issues or problems that may need some retouch. It will also give you a chance to see what people don’t understand so that you can provide more clarification in your presentation.

If possible, practice the real estate listing presentation with family members and friends before an important meeting, like attending open houses. The more comfortable they are with it, the better for both of your success. 

You should always do this even if there’s nothing wrong with the content. It is all about building your confidence. You never know how much time practicing could save you during a live event.

Here are a few suggestions you should consider:

Bring notes (written on paper) along as you practice so that you don’t have to memorize everything. And take note of what may need some fixing.

How to practice

Practice in front of a mirror. This way, if there are any issues with your body language or facial expressions, it will be easier to highlight and correct.

Put on the background music (if applicable) before practicing. This may sound unnecessary, but having the right mood set can make a big difference when presenting.

Be open to suggestions

If possible, get feedback from people who were not at your presentation about what they thought would help improve it. It’s always helpful to gain input from others. It enables you to know what is most important and how long your presentation should last.

Tip #3: Offer tours for the listings

Touring the listing is one marketing strategy that will get you on the best terms with your lead as a real estate agent. It allows you to show them what their future home will look like, improving your chances of getting a sale.

Before the tour starts, make sure you know your way around and how long your audience has to view the property. You’ll also want to pull up any listings in the area so that if they see something on the website or bulletin board they’re interested in, you can tell them more about it right away.

Tip #4. Your dressing code should sell your pitch

Dress for the occasion. Listing presentations are often an opportunity for leads that want to buy or sell their home to judge your capability. The way you dress tells them whether you are capable and professional.

Dress in a way that makes you feel comfortable, confident, and relaxed. They are part of your body language, which is one of the most important things to consider when pitching someone on buying or selling their home.

Don’t forget about accessories too – it’s not just what we wear but also how we wear it.

Here are some tips:

• Wear clothes that have colors corresponding with your company’s logo colors whenever possible.
• Think like an actor preparing for the stage: “dress rehearsal” before a live performance.
• Keep makeup simple to focus attention on what you’re saying; don’t let appearance detract them from the content.
• Presentation attire shouldn’t be overdone (too much jewelry, too much hair, etc.). Makeup, for example, can create a huge distraction. Fashion is about dressing to impress, but your presentation attire should make you feel more comfortable and confident.
• Presentations are all about what you say, so make sure your outfit won’t take that away.
• Be professional by wearing a dress or suit with simple colors and minimal accessories. Ladies: avoid tight clothing like tights.

Tip #5: Share your success stories, but be quick

You want to share your story quickly and with precision. Take less than 2 minutes to do so.

Consider this:

• First, introduce yourself and the topic.
• Express how you can help them solve their problem – this is also known as your value proposition.
• Include a list of benefits to both parties, so they know what’s in it for them.
• Make sure any marketing materials are up to date with current prices.

Use a memorable opening statement or quote that will grab attention right away. People have short attention spans these days. They need something interesting enough to keep listening.

Include testimonials from satisfied customers at the beginning or end of your presentation.

The aim is to grab their attention and make sure they stay tight. Ladies should avoid destructive products, like styling hair or accessories, too much jewelry, and the like. This brings us back to the point of dressing. 

Tip #6: Check posture and body language

Remember when we talked about practice? Well, one of the main aims of this step is to catch your confidence. 

Your posture and body language are essential but often overlooked aspects of a listing presentation. When actively presenting your marketing strategy and talking to the client, ensure you have an open posture.

This means slightly leaning forward with your hands in front of you. It may help encourage them to lean into the conversation as well. 

Standing too rigidly or sitting down can be perceived by buyers as being closed off from ideas outside their comfort zone; they’ll feel less inclined to share information about themselves.

Eye contact

If appropriate for the location where either you or a prospective buyer is seated, place one foot on top of the other leg while making eye contact when speaking. This is useful, especially with someone who might not be paying full attention due to distractions such as children crying or phones ringing. It will show confidence and give the impression that you are in charge.

Phone calls

If it’s a phone call, make sure to have good posture and keep your head up with your chin parallel to the floor. They may not see you, but this shows confidence on the end of the line as well.

Tip #7: Use social proof

One way to make your presentation more compelling is by using social proof. This data shows the benefits of the product.

A study from Stanford University showed that listing presentations with statistical evidence about how property will appreciate outperformed those without. Another online survey found listings with “better” comps sold for an average of $4500-6000 more than less effective ones.

Therefore, market data can be helpful as supporting evidence to back up any claims you might have about improving your client’s ROI on their home sale or purchase decision.

Merely showing them graphs that say things like “the local market has increased” is not enough. Instead, carefully select the information that supports what you’re saying so they believe you. What’s more, it makes your presentation worth listening to.

The most important thing you want prospective buyers to take away from a real estate listing presentation is that they should be excited about the property. And if it’s not exciting, why would they buy it?

An excellent way to do this might be by using social proof as evidence of a property’s value proposition or persuading them with a price strategy. 

One way to encourage people on the fence about something is by presenting an open-ended question at the end of your slideshow, which allows one to think out loud for a few seconds: “What does all this mean?” 

Sometimes just asking someone how much money we spent on our car can help them decide whether they will buy one. You can do the same with a property by asking, “What does this mean?” And then showing your facts about the market or any relevant aspect.

Tip #8: Leverage your brand's strength

If your real estate agent has a strong brand, this is an opportunity to use it. You can do so by mentioning it early on in the presentation and throughout. You might want to have it displayed as part of the slides or logo on them.

If you are not using your branding assets for presentations, there’s no need to mention anything about them. And if they are too flashy, people may be distracted from what you’re saying.

A good example of leveraging a brand well would be listing agents who sell homes with low maintenance requirements, such as those requiring little landscaping work before the sale (and thus lower expenses). This way, potential buyers know upfront how much time and money their purchase will save them.

Tip #9: Use slides to keep a good flow

Most agents use slides to keep a good flow. They can be suitable for an introduction, listing presentation tips, and more. 

There are many templates available from various sources that will give you an idea of what should go in your slide deck. For example, using colors and graphics to make it catchy or putting together short videos with captions describing why people might consider buying property in this area.

Videos may need editing skills, but most online video editors have free options that allow even a novice to quickly produce quality work.

You want your listing appointment to stand out and give you real value. And organizing your work into a slide deck may be the best way to do it.

Staying organized

The key is finding the right mix of slides for your presentation. For example, some agents use slides highlighting their knowledge and experience with other properties they’ve sold in the local market. This can give clients an idea of what you will have to offer them on this sale too.

You want potential buyers or sellers who attend your appointment to walk out satisfied, knowledgeable about pricing strategy, marketing strategies, and how social media can help sell their homes faster. You need more than just bullet points if you want these ideas to stick.

Tip #10: Share what happens when the listing goes live

What will listing with you look like? After going through your pre-listing strategy, explain how the listing will be announced and what to expect during the first weeks of running live.

This could be the best time to highlight your pro services. Tell them how often you will be in contact and how you will work together to sell their home quickly.

This is also when they start getting feedback on what’s going on in the market and how that impacts pricing decisions.

The first few weeks are crucial for establishing a rapport, so losing momentum is important.

Tip #11: Give it a personal touch

It’s good to be personal and let buyers know who you are. The best part about the internet is that not only can they see what you’re selling – but also who you are. Be sure to use personal pictures or videos in all of your listings; this will go a long way when making connections with clients.

Talk about how you like the neighborhood and how many sold listings are there. This builds confidence in the clients that this is a good area to buy.

Tip #12: Ask questions, build trust, and identify motivation

Often, real estate professionals are told to ask questions, build trust and identify motivation during the pre-listing presentation. Now is your chance to get into the habit of doing this with every client. So, set a goal for yourself.

The aim here is to get the seller or the buyer on the same page and help them identify the goals for their home. What are they looking to get out of this process?

It’s also crucial to ask questions about their expectations to better tailor your marketing strategy. Asking questions is not only engaging, but it also allows you to get to know your clients better. This can also help you determine how to communicate with them.

Use the chance to build a rapport with them. The person on the other side of your listing presentation needs to feel like they know you. With social media being such an integral part of our lives today, it’s easy to find out more about someone in just seconds.

Give Facebook or LinkedIn a try if you haven’t already. It’s a good way to tell them how you are willing to share what goes into each aspect of your workday. It will also show that there is no mystery between agents in your company. Then, potential buyers don’t have any questions left unanswered before making their decision.

Tip #13: Make a virtual tour of the home

If they haven’t seen the home in person yet, it’s important to offer a tour. This will allow them to see what you’re selling and may get excited about coming back for another visit. It will determine how much they like the property and think it is worth their time to come back.

Even if the client cannot make it to the face-to-face meeting due to the strict Covid-19 regulations, you can still give them a virtual tour. Technology has made the world a much smaller place, and we want to make it as easy for clients to see our listings as possible.

Tip #14: Focus your presentation on the lead's needs

Most real estate agents focus more on their business and forget about the client’s needs, which is a big mistake. Well, you need to change this and focus your presentation on what the lead needs. Try finding out as much information as possible about them and their interests before presenting a property for sale or rent.

Remember, it’s not what you want, but what they want. So make sure you find out what they are looking for before you show the property.

Also, this lets you give a more personalized presentation since it’s easy for them to provide you with all the information you need about their preferences. This can also mean you are selling to potential buyers and not just scouts.

Tip #15: Do your due diligence - Research properly on real estate listing presentation

Some agents don’t research anything, and this can hurt the client. You need to research properly before you show a property. 

If, for example, they’re interested in something that doesn’t fit what you are offering, or their budget, then it will be short-lived. Consider what’s best for both parties.

Doing your homework is very vital to provide accurate information and offer great service. Remember: “research makes right.”

This is a good way to know your client and their needs too. You want to find out as much about them and their interests before presenting a property for sale or rent. So, make sure you take some time to research upfront. The more time spent preparing for meetings with leads, the better chances you have of closing many deals.

Read about the current market conditions, what many buyers are looking for, and what sellers are willing to take. This will help you tailor your presentation and make the best recommendation possible for your lead.

Also, do not forget about new listings. You never know when a great property listing may come up on the market. Remember that this is an essential step in any real estate meeting because it sets up expectations from the beginning and builds trust with your client.

Before they see anything else, show them something they’ll want to view again. It’s always better if you can wow them early, which is why you may want to give yourself some extra time before their appointment starts.

If there isn’t enough time, then at least have one or two properties ready to go, but don’t spend too much time preparing just yet.

Tip #16: Make use of automated tools

One way to stay top of mind is with automated tools such as emails or text messages. These provide a constant reminder that you’re the agent they want on their side for this move.

Even if your client cannot be at the appointment due to factors Covid-19 regulations or any other reason, you can still show them our listings via technology. 

Again, a little preparation beforehand will ensure the meeting goes smoothly. It’s more personal than just sending out an email blast. In the end, this heightened level of service guarantees results.

To make sure everyone feels valued and important, use automation techniques , so potential clients know who you are. It puts them in control while making them feel appreciated because they don’t have to do anything other than clicking a link.

For instance, use a CMA tool when you want to show them a property. It will make the process even smoother and more personalized, so they feel like you’re on their side.

Automated tools let you build a listing presentation in minutes. Be careful though, they often are not optimized for your specific market and can be very expensive.

Tip #17: Draw statistics from the local market

Use a whiteboard or an overhead projector to show the market data and how you are positioned explicitly in that space.

A good real estate agent should quickly share statistics on the local market, their listing presentation and marketing strategy, and social proof (i.e., testimonials) of why buyers will want to work with them. This also includes what they offer, which sets them apart from other agents in the area,

You can then move onto pricing strategies for sellers based on comparable properties sold nearby over recent months.

Local market research aims to offer clients solutions and demonstrate a knowledge of the market. It helps you find something suitable for their needs.

Tip #18: Review the info your leads gives before the presentation

One of the most crucial tasks before you start your presentation is going through the information given by the potential buyer. This ensures that you are meeting all their needs and answering all questions on time. 

Be sure not to give away anything more than what they have told you, but if there’s a chance it could be good for them, then say so. It helps build trust when buyers know you care about what they want in a property without overselling or making promises which can’t be delivered.

This information will give you everything you want to know about the client and their home idea.

Tip #19: Share your honest opinion about the listing

This is the time to give your clients your personal opinion about the house. Do you think it’s worth the value, or should it be changed? What are some of the things you like about the property?

If it’s a seller, you can recommend listing their home for Y amount and give reasons why you think that will work. You want to be on the seller’s side, but that does not mean you agree with everything they say. You can download a CMA tool and use it to value the house.

Tip #20: Clearly share your pricing methods

Explain the pricing strategy you are using for this property. You can say that your value proposition is X amount, and if it sells for higher than Z% of homes in their area with similar features, they will make more money because there’s a good chance another buyer will come around again soon.

Make sure the sales price is well-defined and that your social proof is convincing. You need to give them a reason for investing in this particular property because it has some good attributes going for it.

Consider past real estate listing presentation references

You can use past experience and show photos of similar projects you have worked on. This is one of the best times to give your clients an inside look into your work.

The property listing presentation is a crucial aspect of the overall marketing strategy for an agent. It’s part of their job to get people interested in making an offer on that home. Showing they are invested in it keeps them motivated through outreach efforts like open houses and social media campaigns.

Tip #21: Clearly describe your sales process

After explaining the pricing strategy, you need to share your sales process in general. Your real estate listing presentation will make more sense if you show them your sales process.

You should tell them how you schedule a listing appointment, that they will be introduced to their agent during the first meeting and get some paperwork done, then go through an open house. 

The next step is showing your marketing strategy for this property so you can sell it quickly. You want to make sure they understand what’s coming up next in the process by providing these details before anything else happens.

Real estate agents have to give listing presentations that offer value to the clients. Remember, it’s not about you but about how your marketing approach will benefit them.

Tip #22: Brag a little with extra services

One of the biggest challenges you can face during a real estate listing presentation is convincing clients to invest in the property. You want them to come around quickly because you’re dealing with a time-sensitive market. And it’s your job to get people interested by giving them more details about what they can expect from this investment.

You can do this by talking about all of the extra services offered as part of the listing appointment process or other open houses you have hosted in the past. If there is an upcoming open house for this property, tell them about it before moving on, so they know what else is waiting for them if they decide to work with you.

You can take this time to make sure their expectations match reality. It’ll make much more sense to show someone your real estate presentation ideas if everything matches up logically.

You want to convince them that this is a good investment opportunity. Hence, you should talk about how similar properties in their area are selling for more than what they can expect from your price point. 

Apart from that, tell them why it’s worth investing right now because property prices are rising quickly, and waiting too long could impact their ability to make money off of this deal.

Tip #23: Show confidence in your presentation

If you want to explain why your pricing strategy will work to the seller, you must have convincing facts. That is one way real estate agents stay confident in their presentations.

Confidence is an important part of doing so. This is because you want to trust and believe in what you’re telling your audience so that they will believe it too. It’s crucial for the seller, too, who needs someone with experience and knowledge about how things work so they can make a good decision about their property listing presentation.

As stated above, always have factual information available when it comes time for giving presentations or marketing campaigns. All those numbers will add up in the end if sellers invest more into this property than necessary – which is one way agents stay confident in their approach during these sessions – they are sure.

Tip #24: Prepare to face tough questions

Create your pitch in a manner that addresses the questions that people are most likely to have so you can be ready for them. Try keeping your presentation or marketing strategy to be as small and concise as possible. This makes it easier to remember what you need when meeting with a seller about their property listing presentation.

The best way to make sure your clients understand everything on offer is by coming out well prepared. This will show an understanding of how things work in the real estate industry. 

It also keeps you calm during these sessions, which means more confidence in you from potential clients who may not know much about what all goes into buying a home.

Tip #25: Follow up - Send a Thank You note

Every real estate agent needs to follow up with their clients to show appreciation and make sure they’re still on board. You’ll get more referrals from grateful clients who realize how much time and effort goes into doing this job well, especially during these sessions where people look at your hourly rate as part of the overall transaction value.

Send an email or handwritten letter expressing gratitude. It will make them happy when they think back about meeting you while searching for property listing presentations online or elsewhere.

It also shows professionalism which is another reason sellers should want to work with someone like you, rather than someone who doesn’t care.

Real Estate Listing Presentation - Conclusion

With these 25 real estate presentation ideas and tips, you should have a lot of inspiration to help you come up with your successful strategy. The key is targeting the right audience and presenting them with something that meets their needs.

If you follow this flow, we’re confident your lead generation efforts will pay off by having the most thorough real estate listing presentation .

Introduction

The introduction slide of a real estate listing presentation should capture the attention of the prospective client and set the tone for the presentation.

It should include a visually appealing design with your name, title, and contact information, along with a brief statement that establishes your expertise and credibility. It should also include a compelling headline or tagline that highlights the value you bring as a real estate professional.

Real Estate Market Analysis

The real estate market analysis slide of a real estate listing presentation should provide a comprehensive overview of the current market conditions and trends relevant to the seller’s home.

It should include data such as recent comparable sales, active listings, average days on market, and trends in pricing and inventory. It should also highlight any unique selling points or challenges of the local market that may impact the seller’s property value.

Property Showcase

Not every homeowner fully understands why their home is unique. This is why a property showcase slide is important to help educate the seller as well as show your expertise and how you can get top dollar for your potential seller.

If you had the chance to view the property ahead of time and gather photos, it should include high-quality, visually appealing images that showcase the property’s exterior, interior, and any notable amenities or upgrades. It should also provide key property details such as square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, special features, and any recent improvements or renovations that make this property stand out.   Staging your home  is an incredible important part of the process.  Proper staging will an empty structure  into a home that allows potential buyers to envision what it could look like when everything is settled.  It can also increase the chances of receiving an offer.    

Explain Sales Process

Explaining the sales process in a real estate listing presentation is crucial as it helps establish expectations.

For some, this may be the first time they’re selling a home. It provides transparency and clarity, setting realistic expectations for the seller and minimizing any potential surprises or misunderstandings. By explaining the process, you can demonstrate your expertise and professionalism, showing the seller that you have a well-defined plan and strategy for selling their property.

It also establishes trust and confidence, as the seller will feel informed and empowered throughout the sales process. This can lead to a smoother and more successful transaction, with a satisfied seller. It also shows you’re doing your due diligence in educating the potential seller.

Marketing Plan

The most important part of a listing presentation which sets you apart from other real estate professionals is your marketing plan. What makes you unique?

Including your marketing strategy in a real estate listing presentation is essential as it showcases your approach to promoting and selling the seller’s property. It demonstrates your proactive and strategic approach to marketing, highlighting the various channels and techniques you will use to attract potential buyers and generate interest in the property.

Below are some key items or offerings you may want to highlight as part of your marketing plan and why you would want to include them.

Real Estate Staging

Home staging is important in the real estate process as it enhances the presentation and appeal of a property to potential buyers. By strategically arranging and decorating the home to showcase its best features, home staging can create a visually appealing and emotionally engaging environment that allows buyers to envision themselves living in the space.

Professional Real Estate Photography & Videography

Professional photography and videography is crucial in real estate listings as it significantly impacts the visual presentation and appeal of a property to potential buyers. 51% of buyers were first introduced to their home via the internet where photos and videos were the first things they saw.

Social Media Marketing

Offering social media marketing is critical in today’s digital-first era. Social media marketing allows you to share the client’s home using visuals, it helps reach a wider audience, and you can showcase the property in more fun and unique ways you can’t do with traditional marketing methods.

Traditional Marketing

Traditional marketing methods are still valuable. Print ads, direct mail, and local advertising, still hold importance in real estate marketing. They can reach different audiences, target local markets, provide a tangible presence, contribute to branding and credibility, supplement digital marketing strategies, and diversify the marketing mix.

Pricing Strategy

Including a price strategy slide in a real estate listing presentation is crucial as it demonstrates your expertise in pricing the property appropriately. This slide allows you to explain your pricing approach and how you arrived at the recommended asking price, taking into account comparable sales, market trends, and the seller’s goals.

Real Estate Agent Testimonials

People want to know what other people are saying about you and their experience working with you. Including a brief slide on your past testimonials is a great way to do just that.

If you follow this flow, we’re confident your lead generation efforts will pay off by having the most thorough real estate listing presentation.

Visual Aids

Presentation visual aids are crucial in a real estate listing presentation for several reasons. First, they can help convey complex information and data in a clear and understandable manner, making it easier for the seller to grasp the key items. Visual aids, such as slides, charts, and images, can also enhance the overall presentation by making it more engaging and visually appealing.

Market Data

Market data is crucial to include in a real estate listing presentation as it provides objective and verifiable information about the current state of the real estate market. It helps establish the context and rationale for the pricing and marketing strategies being proposed by yourself. Including market data in a listing presentation adds credibility, professionalism, and a data-driven approach to your recommendations, increasing the seller’s confidence and trust in you.

Past Successes

Sometimes, it’s good to brag.

How To Win With Your Real Estate Listing Presentation

Now that you’ve nailed down what a listing presentation is and what to include, how do you drive it home and win? Well, there are three key elements you need to master to make sure you’re winning your listing presentations.

Communication & Presentation Skills

You need to make sure your communication skills and presentation skills are polished. If you feel you won’t do well, practice. Practice is one of the most important things you need to do to become a better presenter .

Even when you’re not, you need to be confident. If you’re not confident in the information and marketing plan you’re sharing, why should the prospective client have any confidence or trust in you? Be confident and own it.

This step is one many agents miss. Always follow-up. You should follow-up after every listing appointment at least four times unless you’ve already received a clear answer you weren’t selected. You need to remain top-of-mind and to do that, you follow-up.

How To Deal With Objections

In every listing presentation, you’ll be faced with objections or the “why nots” as to why someone should NOT work with you. Here are some common real estate listing presentation objections you’ll encounter and how to handle them.

Common Real Estate Listing Objections

Can you reduce the commission.

This is a personal or brokerage policy choice. It is up to you to decide whether you’ll reduce the commission or not. But, here is a quick line you can use to save yourself from reducing commissions from experienced Toronto real estate agent Marco Pedri,

“I understand that commission is an important consideration for you. My commission is based on the value I bring to the table, including my market knowledge, negotiation skills, marketing strategies, and commitment to achieving your goals. It’s important to keep in mind a reduced commission may impact the level of service and resources I can allocate to your transaction. However, I am open to discussing your specific needs and requirements to ensure a successful and smooth real estate transaction.”

We need to interview a few other realtors

Do not get defensive. Encourage the prospective client to interview other realtors. This may help your presentation stand out amongst the rest. But, be sure to continuously follow-up to ensure you remain top-of-mind.

In conclusion, a well-prepared and professionally delivered real estate listing presentation is a crucial tool for winning business in the competitive world of real estate. By following a strategic approach that includes understanding the seller’s motivation, gathering essential information, practicing the presentation, and incorporating key elements such as market analysis, property showcase, marketing & price strategy, and past successes, real estate agents can effectively engage and impress potential clients.

The 9 components of a winning real estate listing presentation

Our experts have compiled a list of everything you need to create a stellar real estate listing presentation. Following this guide can create lasting impressions that will turn prospective sellers into clients.

1. A Self-introduction

This section is vital––you want to establish your expertise and experience, build familiarity with your client, and then bring the focus back to them. Explain how your experience serves your client, clearly lay out what you and your brokerage can do for them, and seek common ground that builds trust and rapport.

Your listing presentation introduction should be statements of value––no fluff. Start by sharing your relevant experience, which includes how many years you’ve worked as a listing agent, the number of homes sold, and a brief anecdote about your success selling a similar home.

Then, move on to explain what your brokerage can offer these sellers. 

This is your opportunity to give an overview of the unique selling proposition you, your team, or your brokerage can provide. Sellers will be interested in knowing your brokerage’s level of success in the market, its reputation, the network of professionals that support and streamline your work, and specific metrics or standards that set your brokerage apart. 

This process can be overwhelming for clients, but your expertise and composure during the listing presentation will put them at ease.

2. Local housing market data

Sellers are frequently under-informed or overly optimistic about the current real estate market conditions. This is your opportunity to set expectations by preemptively correcting assumptions about the market in your area. Providing realistic generalizations at this stage can help temper disagreement or disappointment when you get to the pricing strategy. If the market is rocky, you can demonstrate confidence in expertly navigating through the current turbulence.

Your market overview should include data on local inventory, listing and selling prices for relevant comps, average days on market, and typical home improvements. Remember that while you see these numbers daily, home sellers don’t—everything you share with them should be clear and relevant to their situation. 

3. An explanation of the home selling process

Outlining the process sets expectations and showcases your value. Be flexible during this part of your real estate listing presentation. Some sellers may need more hand-holding and detailed answers, while a veteran home seller won’t need a detailed explanation of each process step.

Explain these process stages:

• Pre-Sale Activities : This includes filling out paperwork like the Seller’s Disclosure, arranging a home inspection, having marketing photographs taken, making repairs, and arriving at an agreed-upon price before the home goes on the market.
• Marketing : During this stage, you’ll create the listing and add all the details, prepare digital marketing content, stage the home, and get everything lined up for the day it goes on the market.
• Active Listing Period: Open houses, agent showings, and hopefully receive some offers.
• Accepting Offers : Walk your client through different strategies for this stage, such as accepting an offer they like or arranging for “best and final”—the day when all offers are due. Explain how you’ll present every offer and assure them that you’ll help them understand the pros and cons of each.
• Closing period : Sellers might not know what happens after an offer is accepted. Explain the option period, which has the potential for renegotiations, what happens in a month or so between accepting an offer and closing the deal, and options for leasebacks.

Be sure to include printed materials so the sellers can engage with your presentation and not worry about memorizing everything.

4. An explanation of the pre-listing work needed to be successful

If you haven’t seen the property yet, ask your seller questions to understand its condition. Is it move-in ready? Are there repairs or updates that will significantly alter the potential selling price?

Emphasize the value of having a home that looks beautiful and is in excellent condition. Explain depersonalization—it’s not a matter of the seller’s taste but rather about creating a generically stylish interior that any buyer can imagine making their own. Even if the seller isn’t willing to make repairs or renovations, professional cleaning and decluttering will positively affect buyers’ perceptions. 

5. A detailed pricing strategy

Ask the sellers about their priorities with the sale. Some must sell quickly, while others can wait for the highest possible number. Ask if they’re looking for a lease back or if there are any other strategic elements affecting their asking price. These factors will influence the total offer strategy.

Be ready with your comparative market analysis (CMA), which supports your pricing strategy through comps and relevant data. Sellers can be emotionally attached to their home; sometimes, sentimental value and a market price don’t match. Emphasize the importance of starting with an accurate listing price. If priced too high, a home can languish without offers.

6. The highlights of your marketing strategy

This is the point in the real estate listing presentation where you explain your planned marketing efforts and are clear about who is responsible for the costs. Some listing agents pay for photography and staging, while others have the sellers cover these expenses. 

Make sure to discuss the benefits and steps of these four basic marketing strategies:

Direct marketing

• Hosting open houses
• Listing the home on MLS and real estate sites
• Sending out mailers

Home staging

Discuss the particulars of staging, including your network of staging professionals and price ranges.

Photography and videography

Most listings, especially luxury properties, have professional photography and virtual tours . Speak confidently about your network of professional photographers and show samples from listings you’ve made in the past.

Social media posts

Discuss your social media strategy for home sales, including what platforms you use , posts specific to the listing , how you plan to promote open houses, and how this strategy has succeeded in past home sales.

Advertising

Present your plan for where the property will be listed. Add in any promising statistics or metrics to details.

• Your local MLS: This is a great way to differentiate yourself from home sellers who may be considering an FSBO. Only licensed agents have access to the MLS.
• Website and landing page: If you create property websites and landing pages for your properties, provide examples and discuss the benefits.
• Internet platforms such as Zillow and Realtor.com
• Social media: Find out how your sellers feel about social media and give them the option of whether or not you use it.

7. Expectations for showings and open houses

Take this opportunity in the listing presentation to explain how you will manage and host showings and open houses. Clients may feel uneasy thinking of strangers walking through their home. Assure them that you or a team member will always be present during an open house and that any private showings will always be conducted by a licensed agent.

8. Your offer and negotiation strategy

Give an overview of how the offer and negotiation process works. Assure sellers that you will present every offer that comes in, and you’ll walk through the particulars. Provide examples of different offer details they may see and the most common areas for negotiation beyond the offer price. Reassure the clients that you will always act in their best interests, an obligation of being a fiduciary.

9. Final questions and “The Ask”

At this point, the meeting is coming to a close. Answer any remaining questions and discuss what needs to happen before you can start with the pre-sale activities. And then—ask for their business. Politely assure the sellers that you have the skills and expertise needed to sell their home, and that you would love the opportunity. 

If they are ready to sign, complete the paperwork and finalize your pricing strategy. If they want more time to think things over, give them a deadline by which you will call them––and definitely call them on that date. 

Additional real estate listing presentation tips

Here are a few more things to keep in mind as you craft the strongest possible listing presentation:

Focus on the client’s needs

Every piece of information should be designed to serve the client’s needs and provide clear value. Cut away anything extraneous. Selling a home is a stressful process. Even though you’re used to the process, always be mindful of your client’s perspective and be ready to respond with empathy to their nerves and uncertainty.

Practice often

Nailing a listing presentation takes practice. To polish your performance, practice in front of team members or family. As you gain experience, you’ll be able to anticipate questions and concerns. Even when you’re comfortable with your skills, be sure to reevaluate your listing presentations occasionally.

Be authentic

Above all else, be authentic. Your clients need to feel like they can trust you. Always be transparent and honest.

3. Amaze Sellers with a Great Pre-listing Package

With the current state of the market, it’s not a question of whether you should send a pre-listing package but how to make one that completely amazes the seller. Remember that first impressions are everything, and apart from the initial call with the seller, the pre-listing package is what sets you apart from competitors. You should definitely send it before listing appointment.

Make sure to include a short introduction, and let the seller get to know you on a personal level. Don’t just talk numbers and business, but show the human side of yourself. Humans connect with humans, and emotional connections will build trust with the seller. Apart from that, your pre-listing package should showcase your expertise, the aces you’ve got up your sleeve, technology and marketing strategies you use, as well as your track record.

4. Use Personal Results to Your Advantage

Once again, it’s not just stats and numbers, but what they represent for the seller. Here are some real estate presentation ideas how you can use your results to “wow” the seller:

• Showcase recent sales in the area to demonstrate success in the market. This could include properties you’ve sold that are similar to the one the potential client is looking to sell, or sales you’ve made in the same neighborhood or price range.
• Share the results of marketing campaigns you’ve run for previous listings, such as how many views the listing received online, how many inquiries were made, and how quickly the property sold. This will demonstrate your ability to market and sell properties effectively.
• Use data to support your claims about the local market and the potential sale price of the property. This could include recent sales data, market trends, and insights from industry reports.
• Share testimonials from previous clients to demonstrate your professionalism and quality of service. This can be especially effective if the testimonials are from clients who had a similar type of property or faced similar challenges in the selling process.
• Emphasize what sets you apart from other agents in the area, such as your level of experience, your unique marketing strategies, or your reputation in the community.

5. Remember, It’s About the Seller, Not You

As a real estate agent, it’s important to always keep in mind that the focus of your work is on the seller and their needs, not on yourself. This means removing phrases like “I, I, I” and “me, me, me” from your vocabulary when speaking with clients.

Instead of talking about yourself and your accomplishments, focus on understanding the seller’s goals and needs. Ask questions and actively listen to their responses to gain a better understanding of what they’re looking for in the selling process. Use this information to tailor your approach and provide personalized service that meets their needs.

Remember, the seller is entrusting you with one of the biggest financial transactions of their life. It’s your job to help them navigate the process with professionalism, empathy, and expertise. By keeping the seller at the center of your work and putting their needs first, you can build trust, establish a strong reputation, and ultimately grow your business over time.

6. Ask Thoughtful Questions to Build Authority

Asking thoughtful questions is an important part of building authority as a real estate agent. It shows expertise, builds trust, identifies sellers needs, and demonstrates value. By mastering the art of asking thoughtful questions, you’ll establish yourself as trusted expert in the industry and build a successful career over time. We’ve developed in-depth blog post Questions to Ask Sellers At Listing Appointment , and you can also download the questionnaire to have them at your disposal always.

7. Identify Seller’s Needs and Pain Points

One of the best real estate presentation ideas we can give you is to tailor your listing presentation to seller’s needs and pain points. How can you do this?

• Ask questions about the seller’s motivations for selling, their timeline for the sale, their desired sale price, and any concerns they may have about the process.
• When the seller is speaking, it’s important to listen carefully to what they’re saying. You’ll pick up subtle cues about their needs and pain points, such as concerns about the condition of the property or the stress of managing the sale while also moving to a new home.
• Provide solutions to address these concerns. This could include recommendations for repairs or upgrades to the property, pricing strategies, or marketing tactics to attract potential buyers.

8. Communicate Your Expectations for the Seller & Property

Effective communication is a key part of a successful real estate transaction, and as real estate agent, you should communicate clear expectations to your clients, both in terms of what is expected of them and what is expected of the property. Here are some tips for communicating expectations to the seller:

• Tell them your expectations around home preparation, pricing, marketing, and communication.
• Set a realistic timeline for sale and set a fair price based on the current market conditions. You should tell the seller if their “dream price” is impossible to achieve or if they can’t expect to sell as soon as they’d like.
• If the seller doesn’t hire you for staging, provide guidance on how to prepare the property for sale. This can include advice on decluttering, cleaning, staging, and making any necessary repairs or upgrades.
• Decide on a regular communication schedule with the seller to keep them informed about the progress of the sale and any updates or changes that may arise.
• Be transparent with the seller about any challenges or issues that arise during the sale. This can help manage expectations and build trust between the agent and the seller.

9. Thoughtfully Analyze Every Piece of Information

Thoughtfully analyzing every piece of information is a critical skill for real estate agents who want to win listings. We’ve prepared real estate listing presentation ideas to incorporate this analysis directly into it:

• By thoughtfully analyzing every piece of information, you should provide tailored recommendations to the seller. This can include recommendations for pricing, staging, marketing, and other aspects of the sales process. These recommendations can be customized to the seller’s unique situation, preferences, and goals.
• Identify opportunities to maximize the value of the property and the sale. This could include identifying potential upgrades or renovations, highlighting unique features of the property, or identifying strategies to market the property to specific buyer segments.

10. Follow Up After a Listing Presentation

Following up effectively after a listing presentation is the critical step in the winning listings process. It helps real estate agents build trust and credibility with potential clients, as well as stay top-of-mind throughout the decision-making process.

Following up quickly and thoroughly demonstrates a commitment to the seller, a level of professionalism and respect that can help build trust and rapport over time. It also gives you an opportunity to address any questions or concerns that the client may have and to provide additional information or insights that may be relevant to the decision-making process

It also keeps you top-of-mind throughout the decision-making process. Even if the seller does not immediately decide to work with the agent, the follow-up will keep you on their radar and increase the likelihood seller will consider you in the future. It also provides an opportunity for you to continue to provide value to the seller by sharing market insights, relevant news, or other resources that may be of interest. This will help to build a relationship over time and increase the likelihood of future business opportunities.

Securing The Listing: How To Create Listing Presentations That Seal the Deal

Picture this: you’ve met with a prospect for the first time and you’re discussing the potential sale of their home. The conversation is flowing smoothly, and you feel like you are radiating knowledge, trust and credibility. What’s your secret weapon? A listing presentation that’s not just a presentation, but a pathway to converting home sellers to clients with tangible professionalism.

In the real estate world, a listing presentation isn’t just a slideshow of fancy graphics and charts. It’s your chance to make a lasting impression.It takes advantage of your first touchpoint when you meet a potential client to help you pitch your skills, showcase why they should work with you, and build trust like a true real estate expert. After all, you’re not just selling properties, you’re creating bonds that could last a lifetime.

Now, I’m sure we’ve convinced you about the power of listing presentations, but here’s the big question: How do you create a listing presentation? 

In this guide, we cover the nitty-gritty of listing presentations, the key elements of a listing presentation and some expert tips to make sure your presentation is the best that it can be. So, whether you’re a rookie real estate agent wondering where to begin, or a seasoned pro looking to improve your current listing presentation, let’s break it down together. 

Firstly, Canva is a great tool for designing fabulous presentations. To make things even easier, we’ve prepared two templates created specifically for you. In this article, we’ll be using ‘Template 1’ to make a listing presentation.

• Listing Presentation – Template 1
• Listing Presentation – Template 2

Listing Presentation Tips And Best Practices 

What makes a good presentation? Here are a few tips that can turn your slides from a ‘nay’ to a ‘yay’ 

• Colour Consistently – Stick to a consistent colour scheme which matches your personal brand or your agency’s brand. This is not about looking “fancy” but rather creating a visual experience which best resembles you. 
• Less Text = Better Impact – Keep your text concise, similar to a tweet you’re trying to nail in one shot. Large blocks of text can make it difficult for your audience to process your overall message 
• Fonts, fonts, fonts –  Keep them consistent for a sleek and polished look. While this is a professional presentation, don’t be shy to play around with bold and italics. They can act as accessories to add an extra oomph to your words. 
• Picture perfect – Use high-quality professional images wherever possible. Whether it’s property images, images of yourself or your area in general, you need top-notch images. Use a smartphone with a great camera or images from your agency for the best results. If you are looking for generic images, tools like Shutterstock or Pixabay are great! 
• Avoid the urge to clutter – Think of your slide as an empty property; you don’t want it cluttered like a cramped apartment. Keep it clean and organised. When in doubt, less is definitely more. Make sure every element on your slide has a purpose and adds to the overall appeal of your presentation. 

Let’s start by building your first listing presentation together. We’ll be using our ‘Template name’ if you want to follow along 

Step 1: An eye-catching cover slide 

Grab the property seller’s attention using an engaging title and stunning visuals. Consider adding your company name and logo to add to your credibility and show where you come from.

• Listing Excellence: Connecting sellers with buyers
• Your Elevated Property Sale Experience 

Step 2: Introduce yourself and your agency 

This is the section where you need to highlight yourself. This includes more than just your name and areas of expertise. Use this as an opportunity to establish your personal brand, share your journey, passion, determination; anything which shows property seekers that you are trustworthy and have a genuine interest in getting their home sold at the best price. 

Step 3: Pitch yourself and your agency 

Why should the property seller choose to work with you and not one of the many other agents who have approached them? Share testimonials and your past sales success stories to show your capabilities. The seller needs to be convinced that you understand their goals and that you will tailor your services to suit their needs and meet their objectives. 

Step 4: Present your selling and marketing plan 

Break down how exactly you plan on getting your client’s property sold. Be it online listings, social media, emails or your personal networking, share how you are going to go above and beyond to meet their needs and make their property shine. Talk about professional photography, open house events and virtual tours. 

Step 5: Prepare a CMA

This is where you need to dig deep and do your research to find out what’s recently sold and what’s on the market. Dubai Transactions gives you insight into last sold transaction prices straight from the Dubai Land Department to help you competitively price your clients property. For more information on creating a killer CMA check out our CMA Guide .

Step 6: Conclusion

It’s time to wrap up. By now, the potential client understands that you are more than their friendly neighbourhood real estate agent. To seal the deal, shall all your contact details and social media handles to make sure they can easily reach you. Make sure you open the floor for questions and clear out any doubts they may have at this stage. 

That’s how you make a killer listing presentation! For more guides like this, check out our Content Corner where we have a variety of articles relating to all things UAE real estate.

Short answer

What is a real estate buyer presentation?

A real estate buyer presentation is an agent's tailored pitch, highlighting their market knowledge, personalized service, and commitment to finding the perfect home, aiming to secure their role as the buyer's trusted advisor in the home purchasing journey.

Buyers seek a guide, not just a house

Imagine sitting down with potential buyers, their faces a blend of excitement and anxiety, as they navigate through one of the biggest decisions of their lives.

They need more than just a property; they're looking for a trusted guide—someone who understands their needs and can confidently and warmly navigate them through this process.

Your buyer presentation should reflect this supportive approach, offering thoughtful advice and insights rather than just selling.

Stick around, and I’ll teach you how to make a buyer presentation that secures their trust and gets you hired. Let’s get started!

What to include in a real estate buyer presentation?

Personal introduction: Start with who you are and why you do what you do. Let your passion for helping people find their perfect home shine through.

Your buyer’s needs: Show that you've listened by summarizing their wants, needs, and dreams for their new home.

Market overview: Provide a snapshot of the current market conditions, trends, and what they mean for the buyer.

Buying process overview: Break down the buying process into clear, easy-to-understand steps to clear up any confusion about what comes next.

Financial overview: Discuss financing options, the importance of pre-approval, and estimated closing costs to prepare them financially.

Property selections: Present a curated list of properties that match their criteria, highlighting the unique selling points of each.

Testimonials: Share stories and testimonials from past clients to build trust and demonstrate your track record of success.

Next steps: Clearly outline what actions are needed next to move forward, making it easy for them to take the leap with you.

Here's a great video on the key components of a buyer presentation:

How to make a real estate buyer presentation?

Creating a compelling real estate buyer presentation isn’t just about showing off the latest listings or rattling off market statistics.

It's about crafting a journey that resonates with your buyers, addressing their needs, fears, and dreams.

Here’s how to make a winning buyer presentation in a few simple steps.

1) Pick an interactive template

Selecting the right template is your first step to making an impact.

Interactive real estate buyer presentation templates do more than display information; they invite your clients into the experience.

Imagine a template that allows your buyers to click through high-definition photos of a home, explore 3D floor plans, or even take a virtual neighborhood tour.

These features make the presentation a dynamic journey rather than a passive observation.

Just grab one from the library below:

2) Go beyond the basics to uncover your clients' needs

To truly understand your buyer's needs, it's important to look into their lifestyle, family, work, and what excites them. This helps you tailor your presentation so each property feels like it was chosen just for them.

Many agents begin with the basics—asking about the desired area, the number of bedrooms, or budget.

But Michael Montgomery , from the Rev Real Estate School podcast, suggests a more interactive start.

He recommends kicking off the buyer presentation with an online form that clients fill out before the meeting.

This isn't just a rundown of their contact info; it asks about their current living situation, why they want to move, their previous home buying experiences, and what they’re looking for in an agent.

This method serves a dual purpose: it gathers essential information and gets buyers thinking and engaging with their own needs and desires from the outset.

Then, during the meeting, Montgomery advises a mapping exercise:

He gives buyers a map to mark up—encouraging them to circle areas they like and cross off those they don’t. This step is particularly great for couples. It helps them see where their preferences align and where they differ, which can start some really productive discussions about what they both value most in their future home.

On the back of the map, clients list their top 3 must-haves and 3 deal-breakers. This step sharpens their focus, clearly defining what they absolutely need in their new home.

This approach makes the conversation feel personal and engaging, turning buyers into active participants in their search.

Plus, by finding out what they expect from an agent, you can tailor your approach to exactly fit their criteria.

3) Explain the home-buying process

Helping buyers understand the home-buying process in a clear and concise way can greatly reduce their anxiety and build trust. Here’s how you can break it down for them:

Pre-approval for a mortgage: Stress the importance of knowing their budget and the financial commitment involved. Getting pre-approved for a mortgage sets the financial foundation and shows sellers that they are serious buyers.

Home search: Describe the process of selecting properties that meet the buyers' criteria and arranging viewings. This involves understanding what the buyer is looking for and matching them with suitable properties.

Making an offer: When they find a home they love, help them understand how to make a strong offer. Discuss factors like the current market, the home’s value, and how to negotiate effectively.

Inspections and appraisals: Explain the purpose of inspections and appraisals—to check that the home is in good condition and worth the investment.

Closing: Walk them through what to expect at closing, from signing paperwork to receiving the keys.

Throughout this section, reassure them of your support and expertise at every step, making the process as smooth and understandable as possible.

Great example of a timeline slide:

4) Include a market analysis

A buyer looking to make an informed decision needs a clear picture of the market.

Show trends in home prices, discuss what they can get for their budget in different neighborhoods, how long homes are staying on the market, and explain how current market conditions might affect their negotiating power and purchase.

Use this opportunity to set realistic expectations and build trust.

Example of a market analysis slide:

5) Showcase properties

When showcasing properties, it's key to do more than just run through a list of features. Instead, bring each home to life by crafting stories that connect the property with the buyer’s lifestyle.

Narrative: Use engaging scenarios to make the features more relatable. For example, you might say, “Imagine hosting Thanksgiving dinner in this spacious dining room,” or “Envision relaxing on weekend mornings in this sunny breakfast nook.” These little narratives help buyers visualize their lives unfolding in the space.

Sensory details: Use descriptions that appeal to the senses. Talk about the warmth of the fireplace, the inviting landscape, or the tranquil sounds from the nearby park.

Use high-quality images, virtual tours, and testimonials from previous clients to add authenticity and emotional appeal.

Example of properties slide:

6) Mention different financing options

Navigating the financial aspects can be daunting for buyers.

Provide a clear, simplified overview of the buying process, including down payments, closing costs, and ongoing expenses.

Offer insights into mortgage options and, if possible, introduce them to financial advisors who can tailor solutions to their needs.

7) Include a sample buyer’s representation agreement

Wrapping up your presentation with a discussion about the buyer's representation agreement is a critical step to ensure both you and your buyers are on the same page.

Let's face it, the real estate world can be unpredictable, and without this agreement, there's a risk of dedicating countless hours to clients who might end up working with someone else, perhaps another agent or even a family member, at the last minute.

Present a sample agreement and guide them through essential sections, such as exclusive representation, your responsibilities as their agent, and how you're compensated.

Address common buyer objections:

This conversation is also the perfect moment to address common objections that might arise, especially during a first time home buyer presentation, a point highlighted by Darren Tunstall of Keller Williams Realty in his podcast.

The first objection you might encounter is about exclusivity: "Can I work with other agents?"

This question often comes up when clients are unsure about committing to one agent exclusively. It's a great opportunity to discuss the benefits of dedicated support and how it enhances their home buying experience.

The second common concern is about the duration of the agreement: "How long is this agreement for?"

Buyers may worry about being locked into a lengthy contract. This is your chance to explain the typical duration of these agreements and how they're designed to protect and benefit both parties during the home search process.

By addressing these objections head-on, you show your commitment to their best interests and set a solid foundation for your journey together in finding their dream home.

8) Personalize the presentation

When you’re putting together your digital presentation, really think about what your buyers are looking for.

Get to know their preferences and needs first. This lets you shape your presentation to spotlight properties and features that are right up their alley.

For instance, if they have kids, you might emphasize homes in family-friendly neighborhoods or those close to top-rated schools.

Or, if they work from home, you could focus on properties with dedicated office spaces or quiet environments.

And, by using dynamic variables to mention your clients by name, you can create a presentation that feels uniquely theirs.

This personalized touch shows that you're not just rolling out a standard presentation but are genuinely engaged in helping them find a home that's a perfect fit.

Here's a video on how to personalize using Storydoc:

9) End with a clear next step

Finish strong by clearly defining the next steps. Don't just end with a "thank you" – lay out exactly what’s coming up.

Whether it’s lining up property tours, talking over financing options, or diving into offer strategies, make sure they know what to expect.

Provide a straightforward timeline to keep the momentum going. Be there to answer any questions and show that you’re ready to help them through every phase of their home-buying journey.

This keeps things organized and shows your commitment to finding them the perfect place.

Good example of a next steps slide:

How to measure the effectiveness of your buyer presentation?

It’s really important to know how well your buyer presentation is doing, and thankfully, tools like Storydoc make this easier and give you deeper insights.

When you use Storydoc for your presentations, you're creating an interactive and engaging experience. Plus, you get some powerful tools to see how it's performing.

Here’s how you can use these tools to see if your presentation is hitting the mark:

Viewer engagement: First up, look at how many people have watched your presentation. A lot of views usually means your title or the way you’re reaching out is working well—it’s grabbing attention.

Time spent on each slide: This is like peeking over someone’s shoulder to see what catches their eye. If people spend a lot of time on certain slides, those slides probably have the info that’s most relevant to your buyers. If other slides are just getting a quick glance, it might be time to tweak them.

Drop-off points: Notice where people stop watching. This can show you where your presentation might be losing steam. If there's a particular spot where viewers drop off, that’s your cue to spice that section up a bit to keep their interest all the way through.

Call-to-Action clicks: Keep track of how many times people click on your call-to-action. This tells you whether your presentation is motivating them to take the next step. More clicks mean it’s working well.

Sharing insights: Storydoc also lets you see if and when your presentation gets shared. This helps you understand how far your presentation is reaching and how it's resonating not just with your direct clients but also within their circles.

Here’s a short video on how the Storydoc analytics panel works:

Pro tips to create an effective real estate presentation

As you use this template to build your own real estate presentation, keep these tips in mind:

Even though there’s a lot of information to share, a real estate presentation should be simple, clear, and easy to read so you don’t overwhelm the buyer.

Don’t overwhelm your audience with data and numbers. Try to break it up with more content-driven slides like house amenities and fun facts about the neighborhood.

Using different types of charts is a great way to present listing information in a non-repetitive way. However, if you’re showing the same types of data, ensure the assigned colors for each category are consistent throughout.

Looking at and reading multiple charts can potentially wear your audience out. Don’t forget to include beautiful, high quality imagery or videos of the property.

The Best Tips for a Real Estate Buyer Presentation + Free Downloadable Guide

• 20 Sep 2021
• Real Estate Marketing

If you’re a real estate agent, chances are you’ve been asked to conduct a buyer presentation. If this is your first time, or if it’s been a while since the last one, then you may not be sure how to proceed. This article will provide some tips for presenting and give you access to our free downloadable real estate presentation guide that will help make your next presentation go smoothly.

The Real Estate Buyer Presentation – First Meeting

The first step in your real estate buyer presentation is to schedule the first meeting with your homebuyer clients. This can be done at your office, a local coffee shop, or even remotely via a video conferencing app. You’ll want to let them know that this is an interactive session and to come prepared with any questions they may have.

At the first real estate buyer presentation, your goal should be to learn as much about their purchase requirements as possible so you can match them up with properties in the future. As an example, if they say “I’m looking for something in the $200,000 range,” then it’s important for you to get more specifics. Is there a maximum number of bedrooms they’re looking for? Is there a specific school zone you’d like to be in?

You should also ask them what their real estate must-haves are so that you can incorporate these into your search when you conduct real estate searches for your clients.

For example, if they say “I need a large fenced-in backyard,” then you’ll want to be sure that this is part of the criteria when searching or calling up sellers and scheduling appointments with them. You may also want to ask them if they’d like a specific area of town, or perhaps the type of home (i.e., ranch vs two-story).

During your real estate presentation, you’ll also want to ask when they’d like to have their home purchased because this will determine when you need to begin real estate searches for your clients and how to prioritize best.

The role of the real estate agent during this time is not to show any homes yet. The real estate agent’s role is to ask questions and provide information and also provide a complete timeline of the home buying process to ensure all the steps are covered.

PRO TIP: Our FREE DOWNLOAD Buyer Presentation Guide includes a Buyer Questionnaire that is PERFECT for this first meeting! Download it now so you have it ready for your next buyer appointment!

Discuss Mortgage Pre-Approval

Once you feel you’ve discussed the buyer’s list of home wants and needs, it’s time to discuss the next most important step – the financing or the purchase or the mortgage pre-approval. This will be a topic of your real estate buyer presentation because it is so important.

Real estate buyers need to have their ducks in a row before they start looking for homes and scheduling real estate appointments with sellers, brokers, or realtors. A key step here is the mortgage pre-approval process (unless of course, they are paying cash), which can help speed up the real estate buying process and keep buyers from wasting time with homes that don’t meet their needs or requirements.

The mortgage pre-approval letter is a document provided by the buyer’s lender which states the maximum amount they are qualified to borrow for a home purchase based on income, debts, credit history, etc. The real estate agent uses the mortgage pre-approval letter in real estate offers to show sellers that a potential buyer is serious and has been approved for a loan.

Many times, sellers require these documents to even entertain an offer and it’s often very wise for a real estate agent to obtain this prior to showing homes to the client to ensure 1) they are qualified for financing and 2) to set a correct price range when search.

This is the part in the real estate buyer presentation that the agent should ask the following questions to the homebuyer:

Do you already have a mortgage pre-approval?

Who is your lender?

Can you please provide their contact info, please?

If the client hasn’t already started the process of obtaining their preapproval letter, then set a goal date for them to provide this to you during this part of the homebuyer presentation.

Discuss Showings & Schedule

The next step in the real estate buyer presentation is to discuss showings. This part of the real estate buying process will require that you and your client determine how much time can be spent on showing homes during their search for a home, as it’s important not to waste any time or miss out on seeing something they might be interested in.

You’ll want to discuss your homebuyer’s weekly availability to see houses and understand when to make appointments for them and to review any real estate scheduling parameters you have as well. For example, you may want to let your clients know that some sellers require 24-hour notice to schedule appointments. Or you may want to use this time to review how you handle last-minute or short notice requests.

If they are busy people, you may need to limit the real estate showings to weekends only. The real estate agent should also remember this when conducting real estate searches for those clients to provide only those homes which fit within a specific timeframe or period of time.

During real estate showings, don’t forget to bring your real estate buyer presentation checklist that you’re clients filled out so you can make sure all the important questions are asked. This will help determine what homes they really like and provide a way for them to remember how much they loved their home afterward!

After discussing real estate showings with the client during the real estate buyer presentation, it’s time to set your first showing day!

PRO TIP: Download our free real estate buyer presentation guide below to bring with you to your next buyer presentation!

Schedule Your First Showing Day

You haven’t even set up a search yet in the MLS, so why schedule your first showing day at your first buyer presentation?

Because it will create a sense of urgency and keep the momentum going in your client’s home buying process.

They’ll have something exciting to look forward to – and you’ll be able to start working right away to meet their goals.

Explain your home search process thoroughly

Let the home buyers know your home search process. For example, do you work with a team? Do you have an assistant that handles showing requests?

Explain if you will be the only point of contact or if you have various team members that may be involved during the process so that you’re clients know what to expect.

Explain how long it will take you to set up a home search for them and why that is necessary.

As real estate agents, we often just jump straight into showing homes as soon as possible because it’s exciting and fast-paced. But walking your homebuyers through how you work will help them understand why some parts of the real estate buyer presentation take time – and they’ll be grateful for those extra steps when their real estate agent is working hard to make sure they get the home of their dreams!

Review The Offer Process

This is the time in your real estate buyer presentation to review what happens next if they like a home that’s on the market.

You should go over each step of the real estate offer process with them and let them know how long it will take from beginning their search, working together for showings, reviewing offers & counteroffers until the real estate closing process.

This would be a great time to review a sample purchase contract as well with your homebuyers so they can understand the various terms, contingencies, and deadlines that will need to consider when making an offer.

Review the Inspection Process

The real estate agent should review the inspection process in-depth with their real estate buyer during this part of the real estate presentation.

They’ll need to know how inspections work and what they are going to expect from you as your realtor throughout each step of the homebuyer presentation!

This is a great time to teach the client about inspection contingencies and deadlines within a purchase contract.

This is also a great time to get the client thinking about who they may use as a home inspection when the time comes so they are prepared.

Review the Financing Process

This is a great time in the real estate buyer presentation to review the basic steps in a mortgage financing process. You may want to give them the following questions to ask their lender so that they are fully informed early in the process.

– How much house can I buy with my downpayment?

– What is the real estate closing process going to be like?

– How much will we need for closing costs?

-How long will it take to complete the loan approval process?

The Closing Process

You’re almost to the end of your presentation! This is a great time to talk about the closing process!

You can review escrow, title, and closing procedures and what to expect on the real estate day of signing, and any other questions they may have.

This is also a great time for you to hand them your realtor business card or referral cards so that you are easily accessible after your real estate buyer presentation ends!

Going over the Buyer Representation Agreement

If you require your homebuyer clients to sign a buyer representation agreement – this would be a great time to go over it and present it for signature.

You can also offer the client a copy of this agreement to take home and review at their own pace if they aren’t ready to complete it yet!

Answer Questions

You’ve reviewed your buyer’s needs and gone over all the basics of the home buying process! This is a great time for your realtor-client to ask any last-minute real estate home buying questions they may have.

Make sure to take as much time as necessary to answer all their questions and also to touch on any additional points you want to cover. This is your last chance to leave them with any real estate closing tips or advice!

How Much Does It Cost to Stage a House—And How Much Will You Gain?

Home staging—where you decorate your house in an effort to entice buyers to bite—may seem counterintuitive at first blush: Why spend money on real estate if you’re moving out? Simple answer: because home staging can get you more money for your home sale.

If your real estate agent (here’s how to find a real estate agent in your area) has suggested staging, it’s because evidence shows staging real estate is usually well worth the effort. According to a 2023 report from the National Association of REALTORS®, “twenty percent of buyers’ agents said that staging a home increased the dollar value offered between one and five percent, compared to other similar homes on the market that were not staged, which is nothing to sneeze at. But just how much does home staging really cost?

Here’s what to know about the cost to stage a home, so you can decide if paying a professional stager is worth the investment for you.

Inside the numbers: How much does it cost to stage a house?

File this one under “obvious”—but the pricier the staged home, the higher the potential home staging costs. As a general rule of thumb, the average cost for most stagers is $300 to $600 for an initial design consultation, and $500 to $600 per month per staged room.

“Therefore, staging a 2,000-square-foot home would cost around $2,000 to $2,400 a month,” explains real estate professional  Crystal Leigh Hemphill . Most professional home stagers also require a three-month minimum staging contract, “even if you sell the home in 24 hours.” That could bring your final staging bill to $7,200.

Home staging might sound expensive, but if you own a vacant home, for example, you’re already paying lots of bills every month that your unstaged house sits empty. If a home stager can help buyers envision how fabulous your living room looks with a little classy furniture and tasteful decor, the costs of home staging may be some of the best money you have ever spent.

What makes the cost of staging a home more expensive?

Most home stagers work with the knickknacks and art that the homeowner already owns. But sometimes home stagers “need to purchase new accessories, fresh towels, flowers, and/or fruit, as these small touches make a big difference,” says  Sheila Schostok  with Your Home Matters Staging and Redesign, which serves Chicago and southeastern Wisconsin. This is especially true with a vacant house. The stagers’ new purchases will add to the overall cost of the project.

The layout of your home could also add a cha-ching to the home staging costs. Home stagers often use lightweight versions of basic furniture pieces. However, a home staging job that requires heavy lifting in a multistory house still usually means hiring additional help to move furniture, says Schostok.

And if you’re listing a vacant home because you’ve already moved out, you’re looking at home staging costs that include rental fees for every stick of furniture and all furnishing and decor items from a stager.

Conversely, if you inherited a ton of antiques (or have a One King’s Lane addiction), the stager may recommend you declutter by putting excess knickknacks into storage, tacking that monthly rental onto your overall staging costs. Staging services may also suggest that sellers declutter and depersonalize the home by removing unusual, religious or political, and personal items, so home buyers can more easily envision themselves living in the home.

A final expense, an important one that can help ensure staging success, is the price of painting a room. A fresh coat in a 12-by-12-foot room will cost a DIYer around $200, or $400 to $700 if left to the pros.

Saving tips: How to save on home staging

You don’t have to pay a home stager to transform the decor of your entire house from basement laundry room to attic storage.

“A great way to save money when staging is by only focusing on the main areas of a home,” says Schostok.

These are the rooms potential buyers would spend the most time in—the kitchen, living room, dining room, and master bedroom. You’ll also want to pay attention to what the buyers see when they first step in the front door. That first impression, whether it be a bare, unstaged home or an inviting, perfectly staged one, can make the difference in whether they decide to buy and how much they are willing to pay for your house.

Another  cost-saving home staging option  is to limit yourself to an initial consultation with a home stager, instead of full-service staging. When Schostok does a home staging walk-through with the homeowner, offering home staging tips to maximize the potential for each room, “the price is far less, $125 for 90 minutes.”

You may want to ask your real estate agent if she thinks your home would benefit from home staging. Your agent may also recommend a home staging service or even offer other cost-saving tips besides staging, based on her experience showing real estate to buyers. For example, your agent may recommend that you start by decluttering your home yourself, or spend the money on a specific home improvement task, instead of hiring a professional stager, depending on her own first-time impression of your home.

The biggest cost savings for home sellers who use home staging? Selling their home faster, at a better price, and without months of carrying costs—because their house was properly staged and buyer-ready.

Wholesaling real estate involves contracting a home with a seller and then finding an interested party to buy it. You make a profit on the spread between the contracted price and the amount your buyer pays.

Focus on Small or Rural Markets

Properties in smaller or rural markets can be significantly cheaper than those in large urban centers. These markets might offer better initial opportunities for those with less capital.

Utilize Government Programs

Invest in Tax Liens

Purchasing tax liens can be a low-cost way to enter the real estate market. When property owners fail to pay their property taxes, investors can buy the tax lien and potentially acquire the property if the owner doesn't repay the lien with interest.

Pooling resources with friends, family, or other investors can increase your buying power and allow you to undertake larger investments that were previously out of financial reach.

Consider a Fixer-Upper

A property that needs work can often be purchased at a lower price. If you have the skills to do the renovations yourself or manage the renovation process, this could be a way to build equity quickly.

Rent Out a Portion of Your Home

If you already own a home, consider renting out a room or a basement suite. This can provide additional income to fund investments or pay down your mortgage faster.

Flip Contracts, Not Houses

Instead of flipping houses, flip real estate contracts. This involves entering into a contract to buy a property and then selling the contract to another investor before the sale closes.

Invest in a Vacation Rental

Consider areas that are emerging as tourist destinations but where property values are still low. A small property in such areas can be used as a short-term rental, potentially yielding higher returns than traditional renting.

Invest in Mobile Homes

Mobile homes can be a more affordable entry point into real estate. Buying a mobile home to rent out can provide a decent yield, especially in areas where affordable housing is in demand.

Microflipping

Similar to traditional flipping but on a smaller scale, this involves finding undervalued properties that require minimal to no work. The key is to buy at a significantly low price and quickly resell for a profit, often to other investors.

Expanding Horizons: IREM® goes to the UAE to explore the region’s dynamic real estate market

In late April, IREM representatives embarked on a dynamic journey to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), a country known for its rapid development and innovative real estate projects. With a population of nearly 10 million, the UAE is a melting pot of cultures and a thriving hub for real estate, and, therefore, for real estate management. Our mission was to expand IREM's presence in this vibrant region and forge meaningful connections with local industry leaders.

At the heart of our endeavors were three remarkable individuals: Waqar Hasan, CPM ® , Muhammad Jawad UrRehman, CPM ® , and Abdelaziz Amarouayache, CPM ® . These trailblazers, the first CPMs (Certified Property Managers ® ) in the area, embody the spirit of innovation and dedication to excellence that defines IREM.  

Waqar Hasan, CPM ® , a driving force behind IREM's initiatives in the UAE, wears many hats – from serving on the International Advisory Council , to spearheading collaborations with key stakeholders like the Dubai Land Department promoting IREM and our certifications. He’s also worked with the Dubai Chamber of Commerce   to launch a Dubai Real Estate Brokerage and Property Business Group - a key piece of the puzzle to advancing and promoting property management in Dubai.  Last year Waqar was on the presidential taskforce developing IREM’s international strategy , and he’s an IREM-approved instructor leading IREM courses in the UAE.    

While we were there, Waqar even handled the onsite logistics of managing an IREM Member Recognition event held April 25, including setting up the venue and catering, securing sponsors, hiring a photographer and videographer, working with Leah Misbin , MA and Senior Director, International Programs at IREM, to build the invitee list . He joined Leah in countless meetings around the country to promote IREM to companies and associations and to speak with current IREM licensees.    

Waqar’s time and energy underscore his unwavering commitment to promoting IREM and the property management profession in the region.  

Muhammad Jawad Ur Rehman, CPM ® , alongside Waqar, played a pivotal role in our UAE journey. He made introductions for IREM to ThinkProp, a crucial group and an IREM licensee, he promoted cooperation with RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors), another major player in the region, and he arranged property tours for the trip. Jawad’s also an IREM- approved instructor and frequent contributor to IREM’s blog content.   

He hopes to add several more courses to the current IREM curriculum in the region and introduce additional IREM certifications.  

Abdelaziz Amarouayache, CPM ® , Head of residential, office, and commercial properties at Al Ghurair Real Estate, provided invaluable insights into the local market and arranged a property tour that offered us a glimpse into the dynamic landscape of UAE real estate.  

Throughout our week-long visit, IREM representatives engaged in a series of meetings and events aimed at advancing the property management industry in the UAE. From discussions with IREM licensees like Innovation Experts Real Estate Institute (IEREI) and ThinkProp, to exploratory talks with leading property management companies like Provis Estate Management, our agenda was brimming with opportunities for collaboration and growth.  

In addition to formal meetings, we embarked on property tours, including a visit to SHA Island by IMKAN Properties. Situated on a private island between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, SHA Residences Emirates integrates beachfront residences, a wellness clinic, and a health resort for a healthy island living experience. IREM representatives also had an opportunity to share educational offerings at The Middle East Council of Shopping Centers & Retailers, leveraging IREM’s expertise in this asset class.  

The resilience and innovation demonstrated by the UAE in the face of challenges, such as the historic rainfall event just a few days before IREM’s visit, serve as a testament to the country's spirit of adaptability and progress. As IREM continues to expand its footprint in the UAE's real estate management landscape, we’re inspired by the opportunities for growth and collaboration that lie ahead.  

The week in the UAE was not just a journey of professional engagement, but also a celebration of cultural exchange and mutual learning. We’re grateful to our hosts, partners, and colleagues for their warm hospitality and unwavering support, and look forward to building a brighter future for the property management industry in the UAE and beyond.
