A seller wants to list at [SELLER'S PRICE]; my comps support [MY PRICE RANGE]. Write a 4-step conversation script to walk them back without losing the listing. My comps: [PASTE 3-6 CLOSED AND ACTIVE COMPS: ADDRESS, PRICE, SQ FT, CONDITION, DAYS ON MARKET] Their reasoning: [WHY THEY WANT THAT PRICE, E.G. WHAT THEY OWE, A NEIGHBOR'S SALE, AN ONLINE ESTIMATE] Steps: 1. Acknowledge their anchor without arguing 2. Reframe with the comps above 3. Cost of overpricing (days on market, price reductions, buyer perception), using only my numbers, not national statistics 4. Compromise: e.g., a trial price with agreed review dates and reduction triggers in writing For each step: what to say, a question to ask, and how to respond if they push back.
AI output is a draft. Read every word before a client does.
When to use it
A seller insists on a list price well above what your comps support and you need to reset expectations.
Tip for a better answer
Include the seller's objection in their exact words, then ask the AI to play the seller and push back so you can rehearse before the appointment.
How to push the first draft further
- Reply “shorter” or “half the length”. First drafts run long.
- Ask for “three versions with different tones” and keep the best lines from each.
- Paste something you wrote that sounds like you and say “match this voice”.
