Great and really good question. I hit them point blank.
1) If ____- realtor is top in Van, and there's you, what makes you better?
*those who can't answer and a noob, I chose someone else.
2) marketing rates and fees always included (video + photos and staging is pretty much given)... so... just ask for what the realtor can do for you.
You have to be honest, if your place is a 500 sq ft place and hoping to sell for 400k in surrey, you're not going to have realtor going to your place. They are chasing at places that are listings that are 3.5 m. Blah blah blah... we shoudl get the same service... in reality, you gotta know your worth.
There are lots more but I honestly base it on first impression, their charisma and if they can work smart for you.
if you don't care, and just wnat lowest price; simply say " i don't need you to drive over to do showings, I don't need you to do this and that... I just wnat someone to provide contracts... would you _____________" and negotiate from there.
