Understanding Client’s Position:

"Can you share more about what you’re looking for and any concerns you have regarding the property?"

Presenting Your Case:

Handling Objections:

Client: "The price seems a bit high compared to my budget."

Agent: "I understand your concern. One way to make this work could be to negotiate a payment plan that aligns better with your financial situation. Let’s explore this option further."

Offering Solutions:

"If the price is a concern, we could look into including some additional amenities or services as part of the deal to add more value."

Making Concessions:

"We can consider lowering the price slightly if you’re willing to close the deal within the next two weeks."

Closing the Deal:

"It looks like we’ve addressed all major points. To finalize, I’ll send you a summary of our agreement and the next steps. Does that sound good to you?"

Following Up:
