How We Helped Kirk Secure His First Trophy Listing ($1.9M)

Any agent taking their first step into the luxury market should see their first listing as an opportunity & ‘trophy listing’. However, it can be an anxiety-inducing experience breaking into the market when you have no experience in the luxury homes or high-end markets. How can we land our first trophy listings and how can we be honest about your lack of experience in the market, without scaring potential clients away?  In the luxury market, it’s vital agents look the part and exude confidence, so to make a name for yourself in the space, you have to leverage whatever you can, and make sure you’re as knowledgeable as possible on every step of the transaction process. In this episode, you'll hear a coaching call with eXp Realtor Kirk Brown, an experienced real estate looking to enter the luxury market with a $1.9m upcoming listing appointment.     When you have an opportunity to market a trophy listing, you want to have all hands on deck to sell it and leverage that property to attract future opportunities. -Michael LaFido Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode Standing out by pre-selling ourselves  We always have to be mindful that our potential client is talking to a few other agents. To stand out from the rest, we can pre-sell ourselves by offering value before we even enter our first listing appointment. Why presentation matters  When arriving at the first appointment, look the part. We are being watched from the moment we step out of the car, so be sure to exude confidence. How to gain trust and build rapport  Be tactful but honest. If we feel there are deficiencies that could slow down a sale, we have to point them out- but remind the seller our advice is based on market research.   Guest Bio Kirk Brown is a Realtor at EXP Realty in the Lafayette, Louisiana Area.
