WEEK 7: The Sell-Side of Real Estate, Part 2
This week, we're interested in productively managing our time, which increases our effectiveness. We will focus on finding a competitive advantage when it comes to bringing more contracts to close, and developing strategies for following up with sellers who don’t sign during the listing appointment, object to listing proposals, go dormant, or become frustrated when a home is not selling.
