The listing presentation is the single highest-value hour in your business. What used to win one has changed. Sellers now arrive having run their own research through AI, holding a list of questions designed to see if you actually know your market.
This live (bonus) Playmakers session breaks down how top agents win listings now. Host Andrew Flachner, co-founder and CEO of RealScout, sits down with Tom Ferry, the number one real estate coach in the world; Stephanie Younger of the Stephanie Younger Group at Compass, a top-15 team in the country; and Andrew Undem of SURE Group, who sells roughly 500 homes a year with a team of three staff and 20 agents.
The panel maps the four moments that decide every listing appointment: before the doorbell, the first 15 minutes, the kitchen table, and winning the listing.
What you'll hear in this episode:
- Why your personal state before the doorbell matters more than your pricing deck (Tom Ferry)
- Stephanie's 5-page seller intake questionnaire and the 20-minute call that does half the presentation
- Andrew's split between qualitative and quantitative prep — and the line he repeats on the drive over
- Tom's prompt for feeding your full presentation to Claude or ChatGPT for instant coaching
- Internal vs. external decision makers, and how to spot which seller you're sitting with
- Why walking sellers through a clear process removes objections before they come up
- The exact "That's not a problem" script for fee pushback
- How Opendoor's Cash Now, More Later changes the one-solution listing pitch
