All right, my friends, let's mix things up today. What's the weirdest question you've ever asked a client? Because I got one that might just blow your mind. And no, it's not about the weather or their favorite coffee order. Welcome back to Realty Chatter Daily. Quick wins for realtors. I'm your host, Gary McGowan. And today we're exploring the power of asking unexpected questions. Why? Because sometimes the weirdest questions lead to the best answers.
And they just might set you apart from every other realtor your client has ever worked with. So here's a story. I once asked a client if your dream house were a celebrity, who would it be? They looked at me like I had grown a second head, but then they got into it. it's totally George Clooney. Classic stylish, but not too flashy. That one question helped me understand exactly what they wanted.
a timeless home with character, not something overly modern or trendy. And you know what? It worked. We found their Clooney of houses and they couldn't stop raving about the experience. Today's quick win. Add one unexpected question to your client conversations. Here's a few to try. If your dream home or a movie, what genre would it be? Or you can ask.
What's one thing your current home is missing that drives you crazy? Or my personal favorite, if you could pick a theme song for your next home, what would it be? These questions do two things. They break the ice and get your clients thinking in a different way. and when they laugh or pause to think you've already started building a stronger connection.
And here's the insight, unexpected question does more than gather information. It makes the process fun. It shows your clients, your creative, approachable, and genuinely interested in their vision. Plus, it's a great way to stand out from the crowd.
So my friends, let's shake things up. The next time you're chatting with a client, throw in one of these quirky questions. You'll not only learn more about what they want, you'll leave them with the story or they'll tell their friends. And that's how you become the realtor they'll never forget. And as always, stay motivated, keep laughing and keep thriving through real connections. This is Realty Chatter Daily. Quick wins for realtors where success is built on relationships.
