Q.ย What questions should I be asking to be more direct with people on my database this spring? – Calvin Stewart, Ballard Property Double Bay

Spring: The weatherโ€™s getting better (in mostย places) and people want to be in their new homes before summer and Christmas. So itโ€™s super-important that you make sure youโ€™re generating leads, going on appointments, taking listings, putting buyers under contract and selling a lot of homes!

Sincerity, politeness and brevity, combined with a solid knowledge of your market, are the makings of a successful sales call

Here are some real cut-through questions to ask your prospects:

  • When do you see yourself doing something?
  • If I come across a good buyerย should I give you a call?
  • I know youโ€™re not selling, but I would love to see your place. Are you around this Friday or would the weekend suit you better?
  • Do you have any real estate plans in 2019, either buying or selling?

Sincerity, politeness and brevity, combined with a solid knowledge of your market, are the makings of a successful sales call. Follow these tips and watch your selling productivity rise this spring.
