âIâm so surprised your property hasnât sold yet⌠and Iâve actually got a buyer looking in your price range.â
If youâre a seller and youâve had that call from an agent who isnât yours, you werenât being helped. You were being prospected.
Itâs a script. And it works on people who are already worn down by a long campaign.
Hereâs the thing that gives it away: if that buyer were real, there is a completely normal, professional way to bring them. You call the listing agent. You introduce the buyer. You agree a conjunction and a share of the commission.
Most agents will happily do that. I would. Because when it works, the buyer gets the home, the seller gets the result, both agents get paid, and nobody had to undermine anybody to get there.
Agents who skip that step and go straight to the vendor arenât protecting your interests. Theyâre not respecting the agent you chose and pay, their own buyer, or the industry they make a living from.
If someone has to tear down a colleague to win your business, ask yourself what theyâll do once theyâve got it.
