A How-To Guide to a Real Estate Listing Presentation

The real estate listing presentation… The secret weapon of any successful listing agent. 

It might just be the MOST IMPORTANT factor in your business. That’s because a real estate listing isn’t just a single home or a transaction – it’s a chunk of the market that you control and can leverage for more – and a realtor listing presentation is THE way to get them.

In this blog, I’ll walk you through exactly what a listing presentation is, what goes into it, and how you can make yours stand out from the competition to convince sellers to work with you and even attract new business. 

Let’s start with what a realtor listing presentation consists of…

What is a realtor listing presentation?

A realtor listing presentation is a formal meeting or presentation that a real estate agent conducts with a potential seller who is interested in listing their property for sale. The purpose of the listing presentation is to showcase the agent’s qualifications, expertise, marketing strategies, and the services they provide to help sell the property.

That’s the very direct definition of it. Put another way, it’s your shot to answer two questions: “Why should I sell my house right now and why are you, above anyone else, the person to do it?” 

Or, to put it another way… “How will you make me more money, achieve my goals, and make me feel safe and cared for in the process?” 

The Elements of an Effective Listing Presentation

During the real estate listing presentation, you’ll typically discuss:

  • Background and Qualifications: Introduce yourself and provide information about your experience, credentials, and track record in the real estate industry.
  • Market Analysis: Present a comparative market analysis (CMA) to help the seller understand the current market conditions, recent sales of similar properties in the area, and the appropriate pricing strategy for their home.
  • Marketing Plan: Outline your marketing plan for the property, which may include strategies such as professional photography, virtual tours, open houses, online listings, social media promotion, and print advertising.
  • Services Offered: What makes you worth the full commission? Set yourself apart by covering not only the basic services but some unique ones at well. You’ll of course mention staging advice, scheduling showings, negotiating offers, and managing paperwork.
  • Agency Agreement: If you convince’em, sign’em! The listing presentation is the place to get that contract signed or at least let them know it needs to be signed before moving forward.

Preparing for the Listing Presentation

Every listing presentation is going to be slightly different, but the core elements will be the same. Your goal is to give this as often and effectively as possible, and that means coming into it prepared. 

At a certain point, you might want to have a team that takes care of every other element of your business so that you can do nothing other than go on listing appointments – because that’s where the money is. So take this preparation seriously.

Research the client

Notice how I’m not calling them a “lead” or a “prospective client” here? Go in with the idea that they are already your client – because you’re going to learn a lot about them before you even get the contract signed. 

First, send out a questionnaire or seller needs analysis asking them all the relevant questions you need to know (more on this below).

Next, dive into research. Start with Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn to learn about their preferences, the industry they work in, and previous business history. 

Your objective is to identify their specific needs. See what you can learn to customize your approach to the client.

Now… If you can… try to identify this seller’s DiSC profile . It’ll set you up for success moving forward.

Conduct a needs analysis with potential sellers

Wanna know how to know what a client wants and needs? Start with asking them. All it takes is a simple needs analysis. 

As we’ve already covered, your job in the preparation phase is to discern the motivation so you can tailor the presentation to the seller’s specific needs. 

Are they looking to:

  • Sell the house as fast as possible
  • Move out by a certain time
  • Get more money for some urgent need
  • Get more than the home might be worth
  • Upgrade or downsize 

On this note, our coaching clients have access to 70+ case studies from top agents, complete with toolkits that include extremely effective needs analysis questionnaires for you to rip-off-and-duplicate.

Gather market statistics and data

Let’s jump back to the topic of DiSC profiles… Some sellers are more motivated by social connection and the trust they build with an agent. Others are motivated by hard data and understanding the numbers. 

It doesn’t matter which one it is – thorough market research is the way to both. It will establish you as the expert who is willing to put in the time to gather this information and then explain it in a way they can understand. 

Where do you get your market data from? Are you combing the MLS? Do you subscribe to Keeping Current Matters or some other real estate trends source? Figure it out and be sure you can show that your information is objective and verifiable.

You’ll want to go armed with:

  • A thorough knowledge of the property details
  • National and local market statistics
  • Comparable sales
  • Local rules and regulations (working this in will really establish credibility)

Most importantly, be able to synthesize this information, letting them know that you can both elaborate on any point or break down what is most important for their needs. All of this info will be used in your pricing strategy and help them achieve their goals.

Create a compelling presentation template

If you know me, I’m all about using technology to maximize efficiency and impact, but there is A LOT to be said for the old school route of physical presentation materials. Either way you decide to go, be sure you have a real estate listing presentation template to work off of and customize. 

One of my clients, Carolyn Young , is one of those team leaders who has cleared herself up to focus almost solely on going on listing appointments (going on almost 200 appointments a year) – and that’s because she’s created a listing presentation that is 95% effective in closing the deal. And the centerpiece of her appointment is a set of 200 beautiful, laminated slides that she spreads out across the table to show just how through she is. It blows people away.

On the other hand, a digital approach will give you a much more customizable template. Some of my clients are absolutely killing it with HighNote , which will offer you pre-built templates to upload your material into. You can include professionally edited explainer videos to send to the client before the actual appointment and then open into the full presentation once you’re together.

Just be sure that your presentation is comprehensive and includes all the necessary elements mentioned above, including past sales performance, market data, your marketing plan, and why they should sign an agreement.

The Listing Appointment

Now that you’re all prepared, let’s move on to conducting the appointment itself.

Setting up an effective listing appointment

Where is the best place to conduct a listing appointment? Ideally, it’s in the home you’ll actually be working to sell. Be sure to mention that when setting the appointment, but if it doesn’t work for any reason, don’t wait to set that appointment. Do it in a coffee shop or your office or wherever, because an appointment done anywhere is better than no appointment at all.

No matter where it is, you MUST do a technology and tools check before showing up. If you need anything, be sure you have it:

  • Charged laptop
  • Presentation slides
  • Agency agreement
  • Scripts (memorized)

If you need more help with this, you can download this free offer full of listing presentation scripts and strategies . 

Build rapport and establish trust

There’s a very specific reason to practice your listing presentation over and over until you can do it effortlessly, and it’s not so that you get it perfect… Actually, it’s so that you can relax and be calm and receptive to what the seller has to say. 

You’re more than just someone who is going to do this one job for them and be gone; this is an audition to be a part of their lives, and that means you have to be confident, friendly, and likable. Let them know that you’ll be there for them in anything they need in a genuine way before diving into your past client success stories. 

When you’re showing your real estate photos, before and after videos, or CMA findings, it’s about establishing trust and providing value, and your expertise and credentials are a part of that but not the only factor.

Your Listing Presentation Will Make or Break Your Business

I cannot stress how important your real estate listing presentation is. It’s the crux of your business and the key to your financial success. 

Hopefully these tips have been helpful, but if you’re really serious about creating a listing presentation that blows people away and establishes your dominance in your market, the place to get it is Roadmap. 

I’ll be breaking down the best and most advanced listing presentation strategies working today – and best of all, I’ll be doing it in an area near you. So find a location and sign up soon.

But until then, start putting the pieces in place.

Do you want to close more leads on a regular basis?

In that case, you may need to level up your communication skills. To win more listings, move on from having a polite “pre-sales” chit chat with prospects to doing full-scale presentations of your services.

What is a Real Estate Listing Presentation?

A listing presentation is your pitch to a prospective seller to represent them in a Real Estate transaction. Succeeding with your presentation means that you will sign on a new client and receive a bigger commission this month.

But of course, there will be other agents knocking on the seller’s door, offering their services. In fact, 55% of sellers interview two or three agents before making the decision. So how do you get chosen among the sea of other agents? Wrong, if you thought that most prospects will stick with someone offering the highest listing price and asking for the lowest commission.

When putting up their homes for sale, most people want to partner with a competent, forthcoming and proactive agent, capable to broker the best arrangement for them. Obviously, the best Real Estate agents are rarely those charging the lowest commission.

In fact, the main goal of conducting a full-scale, deck-ready listing presentation is to persuade the prospect that you are their optimal choice.

The best listing presentation isn’t a brief oral interview on the porch; it’s a carefully staged, full-scale demo of your professional capabilities. Keep in mind that creating a listing presentation isn’t the only way to market effectively in your industry. There are dozens of other Real Estate marketing ideas that can help you beat out the competition and stand out from the pack. For example, if you can’t make time for an in-person listing presentation, consider recording a seminar and linking it to your email subscribers.

How to Prepare for a Listing Presentation: 7 Key Steps

Building a rapport with a new prospect is never easy. But there are a few quick neuroscience tricks you can leverage to appear instantly more likable to prospects, even before you pull out your Real Estate brochures and other collateral.

  • Give a firm handshake . Scientists proved that a handshake preceding any social interaction has a strong positive impact on how the recipient will further evaluate this social interaction.
  • Have some brew ready. Pleasant smells like those of fresh coffee make us act nicer to one another and be more cooperative.
  • Appear interested and ask questions.  Again, science proves that people are more willing to engage with an interlocutor, eagerly posing questions, and also act in a more receptive manner.

Now with a few neat physiological tricks in your sleeve, let’s move on to how you should approach listing presentation design.

1. Open with a Brief Introduction

A Real Estate listing presentations can start with a short overview, recapping who you are, what you do and what’s your success record.

To save you time on design, we have lined up a few short Real Estate bio templates you can grab and customize.

what is a listing presentation

Sellers want to be reassured that you can close the deal fast and secure them a fair price. They want someone confident in their abilities and capable to back up their skills with examples and data.

Here’s listing presentation sample questionnaire you can answer to fill in your first few slides:

What are your top skills? Are you a Real Estate marketing guru? Do you have exceptional graphic design skills and can create for sale by owner flyers that stand out from the crowd? Do you have a photography background and can shoot professionals photos without hiring any external help? Show exactly what you can do. Bonus point if you manage to align your key skills with your buyer’s needs.

How many houses have you sold in this area? It’s best to line up some fresh data e.g. the past 12 months. Specifically, mention what types of properties have you sold and whether any were similar to this particular buyer’s estate.

Now comes the tricky part: offer some numbers comparing the original list price versus the final sales numbers (if the latter are more favorable) and the average day on the market (DOM) numbers for the property.

Such numbers will also help you justify higher commission rates. Of course, every sane buyer would rather stick with an agent charging a higher rate (e.g. 6% commission for houses for sale), but who also secures them a higher sales price due to better marketing experience.

2. Toss in Some Social Proof

People are social creatures and thus, we are extremely prone to opinions shared by others. To learn what’s good, we observe what others are doing and this extends to our purchase decision making: 92% of consumers state that word-of-mouth recommendations carry the most value to them.

You shouldn’t hard-sell your services. Instead, just show that “others” already think you are that good . There are a few ways you can use “social proof” as a Real Estate agent:

Ask past sellers to provide quick testimonials (with photos) and use them in during your presentation. Here’s a quick example from one of our PowerPoint templates :

Example of Low Poly slide design for PowerPoint with Testimonial slides

Add a separate slide highlighting your key achievements up-to-date (personal or agency-wide).  The good “boasting” figures to include are:

  • Total number and value of properties sold.
  • Total number of clients you have worked with.
  • Average time to close a deal.
  • Average customer satisfaction rate.
  • “Big name” corporate clients and partners.
  • Professional organizations you are part of e.g. National Association of Realtors.

Gather and display reviews online.  Of course, prospects will google you post-presentation. Your job is to ensure that they’ll find only positive stuff, rather than nothing at all. You can set up a dedicated profile on popular review services or display ratings directly on your website.

3. List The Benefits of Your Brokerage

Keep this one succinct and on-point. Most buyers are interested in just three things:

  • Receiving a fair price for their property.
  • Getting it sold off fast.
  • Avoiding the associated sales hassle as much as possible.

Your Real Estate presentation should address how you will deliver them just that. You can also sweeten the deal here by including a few “promos” e.g. list special circumstances for when you will accept a lower commission or pitch them with some bundled promos your agency currently runs.

At this point, you should also explain how that communication will occur: what types of updates they can expect and when.

4. Walk The Prospect Through The Home Sales Process

Not everyone is experienced in flipping property. So be sure to customize your listing presentation template so that includes this optional slide – for when you are presenting to first-time buyers.

There’s no need to go into many details at this point. Just briefly mention the overall timeline, key milestones and what kind of actions we’ll be required from them.  All of this can be neatly packed into one slide like this one :

Presentation timeline Real Estate - Example of a timeline design in a listing presentation

If needed you can separately walk them through the home inspection and appraisal processes; Real Estate presentations to the buyers; negotiations and closing process.

5. Present a Comparative Market Analysis for a List Price Range

Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is another nugget to persuade the client that you know your deal.

Price Comparison Real Estate Houses Slide design for PowerPoint

The wrinkle, however, is that it’s not always easy to come up with good numbers if you are yet to see the property in person. That’s why most agents will do two CMAs. First, one using the comps and their educated guesses based on prices for similar homes. And the second, more refined CMA after seeing the property, talking to the owners and digging further into the data.

6. Explain Your Marketing Strategy

What channels do you plan to leverage – digital, offline or a mix of both? Give the clients some general insights and explain why your approach works. They certainly don’t want to know all the nitty-gritty, but we’ll appreciate some general insights.

Show them a few video demos you have created; your standard property templates for websites; copywriting and other marketing collateral you plan to use and distribute during open house visits.

7. Wrap It Up with a Killer Case Study

The best listing presentation examples we have ever seen always included case studies. They are another form of “social proof”, and a direct illustration of your professional abilities.

You don’t need to make this one lengthy though. Just stick to a simple copywriting formula:

  • Customer background (e.g. a mid-aged couple just like you based in NYC).
  • Challenge: what kind of a problem those former customers had? (e.g. needed to sell a house in 1.5 months in an unpopular neighborhood).
  • Solution: how your agency helped them?
  • Results: some quick numbers illustrative the positive outcome you have helped them achieve e.g. house sold in 35 days for 5% higher than the initial listing price.

This way you are finishing your listing presentation with a bang, and encourage the prospects to take further action.

What should you include in a real estate listing presentation?

Just like a first date, your real estate presentation is your chance to make a memorable first impression. It's the perfect opportunity to build a strong foundation for your client relationship and show your dedication to their success.

Here's what you should include to make your realtor presentation engaging and effective:

1) Introduction

Start with a strong introduction showcasing your experience, professionalism, and unique qualities. Highlight any awards you have received, your years of experience, and local expertise to establish trust and credibility.

2) Comparative advantage

Explain what sets you, your team, or brokerage apart. Use relevant statistics to demonstrate your market performance and include testimonials to provide social proof of your success.

3) Market analysis

Present a detailed Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to show your knowledge of the property and its value. This analysis should convincingly justify your recommended pricing strategy.

4) Marketing strategy

Outline a customized marketing plan for the property. Include tactics like professional photography, video tours, and social media promotion to show how you'll attract buyers.

5) Professional advice

Offer guidance on preparing the home for sale, such as decluttering, cleaning, and making necessary repairs. Suggest potential renovations that could increase the property's value.

6) Your role

Clarify your responsibilities as the listing agent and set expectations for the selling process. This helps in building a transparent and trustworthy relationship with the seller.

7) Call to Action

Conclude with a persuasive call to action, encouraging the seller to sign the listing agreement. Be prepared to handle any objections and reiterate the benefits of choosing you as their agent.

How to create a real estate listing presentation?

Creating a realtor listing presentation is much like preparing for a key performance. It's your stage to demonstrate your expertise, build trust, and persuade sellers to choose your brokerage.

You need to showcase your skills while aligning perfectly with the needs and goals of your sellers.

Here's how it's done:

1) Personalize your introduction

Highlight your relevant experience, such as years worked as a listing agent and homes sold, especially those similar to the client's property.

Explain what your brokerage offers, emphasizing its unique selling propositions. Remember, the introduction should be about the client, not just you.

Here's an example of a personalized slide:

2) Tell a compelling story

Instead of just listing features, weave a narrative about the property that highlights its potential and the lifestyle it offers. This storytelling approach can help sellers see the unique value you bring in marketing their property, making it more appealing to potential home-buyers .

3) Use data visualization

Incorporate local housing market data to set realistic expectations. Use clear, understandable visualizations to present information like local inventory, selling prices for comparable homes, and average time on the market.

This helps clients grasp the market dynamics and aligns their expectations with reality.

Here's a great example of a data visualization slide:

Data slide example

4) Guide through the home selling process

Explain each stage of the home selling process, from pre-sale activities to closing. This includes discussing paperwork, home inspections, marketing strategies, and the negotiation process.

5) Prepare the home for market

Discuss how to prepare the home for sale, focusing on decluttering, depersonalization, and necessary repairs or updates. Emphasize the impact of a well-presented home on buyer perception and potential selling price.

6) Outline your pricing strategy

Explain the importance of an accurate listing price and how overpricing can hinder the selling process. Discuss the client's priorities and how they affect the pricing strategy. Use a comparative market analysis (CMA) to guide your pricing approach.

How to design a real estate listing presentation?

In the digital age, the design of your real estate agent presentation is as crucial as its content. Gone are the days when static PDFs and basic PowerPoint slides could capture and hold a client's attention.

These traditional formats, while once the backbone of presentations, now fall short in a world where interactivity and visual engagement are key. They lack the dynamism and immersive experience that modern clients expect.

Here’s how to design a pre-listing packet that not only informs but also captivates:

1) Embrace interactive presentation tools

Interactive presentation makers are a game-changer, especially for those without a design background who would normally outsource it to a professional.

These tools allow you to create presentations with embedded videos, clickable content, and virtual tours, offering an engaging and immersive experience that static PDFs and PPTs simply can't match.

2) Utilize scroll-based design

Scrollytelling , or scroll-based storytelling, is an innovative way to engage viewers. As the audience scrolls, the story and information unfold in a visually appealing and interactive manner.

This technique keeps the viewer engaged and eager to discover more.

Here's an example of Storydoc scrollytelling:

Narrator slide example

3) Ensure your presentation is responsive

With the increasing use of smartphones and tablets, your presentation must look great and function seamlessly across all devices. Responsiveness has shifted from being a luxury to an essential requirement.

4) Move beyond outdated formats

The limitations of PDFs and PPTs – such as their static nature and lack of engagement – make them less effective in today's fast-paced, visually-driven world. Exploring dynamic, interactive formats can set your presentation apart and demonstrate your adaptability to current trends.

Here's the difference some interactivity can make. Which deck do you find more engaging?

what is a listing presentation

5) Maintain a clean and organized layout

Avoid clutter. A well-organized presentation with a clean design makes it easier for clients to follow and absorb the information.

6) Consistent branding is key

Your branding should be evident throughout the presentation. Consistent use of logos, colors, and fonts builds brand recognition and trust. Interactive presentation makers can take care of that for you, extracting branding information directly from your website or brand book.

How to deliver a compelling real estate listing presentation?

Delivering a compelling real estate listing presentation is like telling a captivating story where you are both the narrator and the hero. It's your opportunity to demonstrate how your unique skills and experiences can transform a seller's journey.

Here's how to make your presentation not just informative, but truly engaging and persuasive:

1) Start with an engaging introduction

Kick off with a captivating story about a previous sale or a current property you're working on. This sets the stage and showcases your experience.

2) Outline the sales timeline

Clearly explain each step of the sales process, from pre-sale events to closing the deal. This helps clients understand what to expect and prepares them for a quick turnaround in today's fast-moving market.

3) Ask insightful questions

Engage with your clients by asking questions about their goals, challenges, and expectations. This not only shows your interest in their needs but also helps tailor your presentation to them.

4) Showcase personal statistics

Use your sales data to demonstrate your success and expertise. Include metrics like your sales compared to market averages and average days on the market for your listings.

5) Detail your marketing plan

Explain how you'll market their home, using current trends like virtual tours, HD photography, and social media promotion. This shows your commitment to using every tool at your disposal to sell their home.

6) Handle pricing objections

Be prepared to address concerns about pricing, especially if clients have heard higher estimates from others. Use data and your market knowledge to justify your pricing strategy.

7) Build trust before the presentation

Use the time leading up to your presentation to build trust. Send personalized videos and emails, showcasing your marketing plan and success stories.

8) Reverse your presentation

Instead of a traditional approach, start with the end result of a successful sale and work backward. Show the steps you took to achieve that result, demonstrating your process and effectiveness.

Your Real Estate Listing Presentation Checklist

Winning a listing presentation is by no means a guarantee of new business. Even if you think you’re the only agent the seller is talking to, it’s still an opportunity for you to prove your expertise, dedication and reliability—and, ultimately, WOW the seller. For that reason, you should never treat the listing presentation as just a formality. Walk into each one with the mindset that you need to outperform steep competition.

So, what’s the best way to do that? We’ll review the key areas that you need to cover. Through it all, remember that brand consistency is key. This includes your voice , logo, color scheme and even font. You never want inconsistencies to leave the seller confused. That may leave them wondering if the marketing materials you create for their home will be disjointed as well.

Without further ado, your real estate listing presentation checklist.

Customized and Visual

Anyone can spot a cookie-cutter presentation. It gives the impression that you neither recognize the seller’s unique needs nor will put in extra effort for their listing. You should, of course, have a basic template, but the key is to customize it enough to make it seem unique to a specific person or couple.

The best message you can communicate through your presentation is that you are focused on the seller and their specific sales goals. That means making every slide as personalized as possible. This could be based on things like past conversations, the seller’s submarket and your own qualifications that you know will reassure the seller or lift doubts.

The other element every great presentation has is attractive visuals. This will not only keep the seller engaged, but it will also give them a preview of what they can expect in terms of listing photos and marketing materials. 

Visuals include the presentation’s template design; interesting charts and graphics; examples of stunning, professional listing photos from past deals; and samples of digital ads, flyers and other marketing materials you’ve used in the past.

Unique Value Proposition, Knowledge and Enthusiasm

What separates you from your competition? You could answer this question an endless number of ways. It all depends on how creative you want to get. In case you aren’t sure how to make your best qualities shine, consider these areas where you undoubtedly have strengths:

  • Years of experience
  • Your personality
  • Your reputation
  • Your specialty
  • Your standout skills
  • Market specialties
  • Your background outside of real estate (consider how your “previous life” or hobbies makes you a well-rounded agent)

Write down your strengths in each of the above areas. From that list, craft a unique value proposition (UVP), which is a statement that clearly defines how clients will benefit from working with you. Include your UVP at the start of your presentation and reinforce it throughout.

If you’re a novice agent or new to an area, you may not have enough confidence to include market expertise in your UVP. That’s ok. But you should still convey that you understand the market well by providing an overview that includes local trends and insights.

You should also demonstrate your knowledge about the specific property and the community. Use Homesnap Pro’s free in-depth property details and historical listing photos* to learn its history. You can also review deed, tax and mortgage information to understand the position the seller is in. Familiarize yourself with the neighborhood so you are able to prove that you can answer any questions a potential buyer may ask, like which schools are in the zone (also available for free in Homesnap Pro) and where the nearest grocery stores are.

Lastly, make sure you also express your enthusiasm for your job and why you are passionate about real estate. Sellers are looking for a partner who will go above and beyond for them—that’s a characteristic of someone who loves what they do.

Marketing Plan

Sellers want an agent who can sell their home quickly and for the highest possible price.

Your marketing strategy will show them how you’ll do that. This is the most objective part of your listing presentation. As such, you need to craft a thorough plan that demonstrates you know how to gain the attention of home buyers. As we mentioned earlier, visuals are crucial here. Show off your past ads and include performance stats for any marketing you have concrete data on.

Today’s sellers expect a digital-first —but also holistic—approach to marketing their home. Here is an example of a multi-channel approach:

  • Dedicated listing lead page
  • Social media ads ( Facebook and Instagram )
  • Organic social media posts
  • Search ads (Google)
  • Maps ads ( Google and Waze )
  • Neighborhood postcards
  • Email blasts
  • Open houses
  • Booth at a local farmer’s market

With each listing, there are multiple milestones where you can introduce fresh marketing content to reach a wider audience and help accelerate the timeline. These include coming soon , open house, just listed and price cut (if necessary). Communicate to the seller which tactics you will use at each phase.

Keeping your seller abreast of your efforts is also important. Share a performance report for every digital ad you run so they have no doubts that you’re working hard on their behalf. If you’re using Homesnap Pro Ads, you can automate reports to be sent directly to your client.

Social Proof

Lastly, you should include testimonials from past clients. You’ll need to be careful how you present these, as you can’t expect sellers to read a long paragraph on a screen during a presentation. There are a couple engaging approaches you can take.

One is through video. Make it a habit to record testimonials from all your clients. You can create a short compilation from these clips to show during your listing presentation or just play a couple of the best videos.

The “case study” is another approach. First, set the stage by describing your past client and any clear challenges you had to overcome to sell their property. As you summarize this experience and the results you achieved, your PowerPoint can display short quotes from your client on the screen.

Even if you don’t have thorough testimonials from past clients, you can pull in the reviews they left for you online, like from Google . These reviews are actually stronger social proof than testimonials that might be buried on your website. That’s because Google connects each review to a real person, and anyone who reads these reviews on your Google business profile can see that.

These are the broad strokes of what should be covered in your real estate listing presentation. Even if you already have a set template that you’ve been using for months or years, it’s a good idea to revisit it every so often. Doing so will give you the opportunity to ensure it’s still on brand, consider whether your marketing strategy needs adjustment and think about new information or visuals to include. Remember: your listing presentation is what will convert a prospect into a client. Adjust it regularly and practice often, and you’ll WOW sellers.

25 Tips To Create The Ultimate Real Estate Listing Presentation

If you’re a new real estate agent, you might be intimidated by the thought of doing your first real estate listing presentation.

This post details 25 steps you can take to prepare for your presentation and give you the confidence you need to make the best impression. 

Tips For Preparation

1. build and maintain your online presence.

In today’s internet-driven world, people do their research on you before they even speak with you. Focus on building and maintaining your online presence across social media, Zillow and Realtor.com , and your website.

Interact with your audience across these platforms so that people get a sense of your personality. You want to attract people who are actually interested in working with you.

The more people know of you before you show up, the easier the appointment will go. They’ll already have an idea about your experience and your process, which gives you a great foot in the door.

2. Practice Your Presentation

Remember, it’s ok to feel nervous. Try practicing your real estate listing presentation out loud before going to the client’s home. Repeat it enough times until you feel confident in your delivery. Having a firm grasp on the main points of your presentation will help tame your nerves.

3. Visit Active Listings in the Client’s Neighborhood/Area

A unique tip that most agents don’t take the time to do is to visit other active listings in the client’s neighborhood before your listing appointment. 

This will give you more knowledge about the area, and you’ll see the prices of other homes in the area. Sellers will appreciate this extra work because it shows your dedication.

5. Drop Off A Pre-Listing Package

One tip that will start you off on the right foot before the listing appointment even starts is to drop off a real estate pre-listing package . The package should include any marketing materials you have created, including a description of your unique value proposition and marketing plan.

When you drop off your real estate pre-listing package, make sure that it is presented professionally. Use binders, folders, and be sure it’s personally branded.

Tips For During the Presentation

5. share your story in under 2 minutes.

Clients want to get to know you and your business, but make sure you keep it short. The main goal in your real estate listing presentation is to get the client talking more about themselves and their goals in selling their home.

Tell a brief story about what you do and what makes you different from other realtors. If this isn’t your first listing, talk about successful listings you’ve handled in the past.

6. Have Good Posture and Body Language

Most experts agree that 70% to 93% of all communication is nonverbal . So whether you’re touring the home or sitting down with your clients to get to know them, be sure your back is straight, you aren’t slouched, and you don’t cross your arms. And of course, give all your attention to your client as they are speaking and practice basic listening skills.

7. Use Social Proof to Your Advantage

If you have some previous listings under your belt, be sure to leverage them as social proof and use them to your advantage. For example, add in quotes from satisfied past clients, or share a success story regarding a previous transaction.

Having social proof in addition to what is online goes a long way in impressing your potential client. It will also help to establish you as a real estate professional with authority and knowledge in the real estate industry.

8. Personal Statistics

Along with social proof, be sure to include some personal statistics about your previous listings, such as:

  • Average days on market
  • Average list price to sales price ratio
  • How you compare to the market average

9. Create a Slide Deck to Stay on Task

A classic slide deck or PowerPoint presentation is the best way to keep your pre listing presentation organized and flowing smoothly. It’ll help you stay focused from one point to the next, so you don’t end up rambling throughout your presentation.

10. Have a Marketing Plan

Come up with a comprehensive  real estate listing marketing plan  for listing your client’s home. Be sure to include the following marketing material:

  • How you will leverage social media
  • Which websites their listing will be shown on
  • Advertising strategy
  • Any broker groups or email lists you plan to use
  • If you plan on holding open houses , and if so, how often
  • Professional photos  and video

Don’t skimp on photos in your marketing strategy. Even if it seems expensive, professional photos will showcase the home much better than personal photos. In addition, you’ll build a beautiful portfolio to show future clients. They will take notice of how much better your photos look compared to your competition and want to work with you as a result.

11. Introduce the Power of Your Brokerage

If you have a brokerage, be sure to talk about what makes your brokerage unique. Highlight past experience and successes, and focus on how your brokerage will add value to your client’s listing as well.

12. Ask Questions, Build Trust, and Identify Motivation

Before you tour the home or jump into your own background, sit down and ask the client some questions to get to know them, build rapport, and understand their goals for selling their home. Some good questions to ask include:

  • The reason they want to sell their home and what date they need to move by
  • What area they are looking to move to, and if they’ve already found a home there
  • What’s more important to them: selling their home quickly, or for the best price
  • What their alternative plans are in case their home doesn’t sell
  • What their ideal listing agent would look like
  • How much they still owe on their mortgage and whether or not the property has any liens
  • If there are any hidden issues with the home
  • Their experience level with selling homes, and what those other experiences were like

The more you can connect with the client in these first 15 to 20 minutes, the better the listing presentation will go.

13. Tour The Home

Next, after you’ve gotten to know the seller, ask them if they can give you a tour of the inside and outside of their home before you begin your presentation.

As they’re showing you around, have them point out details about their home. For example, any work they’ve done and any work they know needs to be done before they sell the home.

Your goal is to get them to point out that their house isn’t perfect. This will give you a couple of details to lean on later when you’re discussing the price.

As you’re walking through the house, be very observant and take your time looking at every aspect, including the ceilings.

14. Tailor Your Presentation to Relate to Sellers Motivation

Use the client’s answers to the questions above to create a story in your real estate listing presentation. Go through a comparative market analysis ( CMA ) and show them the listings that have and haven’t sold in the area.

For example, you might find a listing that was priced way too high, sat on the market for 125 days, and sold for 10k below its listing price. Explain to your client all these details, and then show them a listing of another home that was perfectly staged and photographed.

Show them how it got a contract in seven days for above the asking price, which may also be their goal for their own home. This way, you’re creating a more relatable story for your client, and they will want to follow the same strategy as the second home.

Tips For Research

15. do your research.

Everyone knows that knowledge is power, and power breeds confidence. Doing your research ahead of time will give you the knowledge you need to keep the ball in your court.

One strategy is to call recently sold listings in your client’s neighborhood and ask those agents how they thought the sale went and if they can give you any tips on selling in the area.

16. Automated Values

Be sure to cover Zestimates and tax values in your presentation. The prospective seller probably came across these numbers already and will want to know if they are accurate or not.

A couple of questions you can ask your clients to get an estimate of what they think their home is worth include:

  • What do you think your home is worth, based on the research you’ve done?
  • What number do you think is a good starting point for your home?

17. Local Market Statistics

During your real estate listing presentation, have some statistics on hand for the local market so that the client can compare their home to others in the area. These should include:

  • Average days on the market for homes in the area
  • Average sales price
  • Price per square foot
  • Inventory level

18. Neighborhood Comp Analysis

Be ready with a comp analysis. Choose four to five other homes in the neighborhood that are similar to the client’s home and become familiar with the ins and outs of those properties.

After you’ve toured their home, you’ll have a better idea of which comp to show them.

You can let them know how long they can expect the selling process to take based on the average list price to sales price, sold comps, available comps, and days on the market.

Tips For Moving Forward

19. refine value.

Once you have a good feel for the home, let the home seller know if you think the home’s value should be higher or lower than your initial assumption based on the market data.

At that point, you can tell them that you recommend listing their home for X amount to have the most realistic chance of selling it.

In order to figure out a good price, you can use the MLS to find out the average list price to sales price ratio for a certain neighborhood.

20. Outline Your Pricing Strategy

Go through your pricing strategy and let your clients know how you determine if a home is above, fair to, or below the market value.

21. Explain Your Sales Process

Your real estate listing presentation is a great chance for you to go through each step of your sales process, from pre-listing to closing. Explain every detail, so your clients can know what to expect when working with you.

22. Additional Included Services

Offer the client any other services that you and your team provide. This could be transaction management, a preferred vendor list, or buyer services.

23. Don’t Be a “Yes” Agent Just to Win New Business

Stay firm on your process and pricing. Some sellers will see if they can get you to negotiate on your own terms. However, this isn’t advisable. Stick to your process and price, and be confident in your knowledge and research.

24. Prepare For Some Objections and Lots of Questions

To that end, be prepared to face some  real estate objections  and questions about your experience, process, and pricing. Some of the questions might include:

  • What makes you different from other realtors in the area? How are you better?
  • Why do your credentials make you the right person to sell my home?
  • How familiar are you with this market? Have you sold homes in this area before?
  • What is your opinion on my home, and what do you think we can do for it to sell better?
  • Do you have an ideal list price in mind for my home? If so, is it lower or higher than what I think it is?
  • What are your sales and marketing strategies for listing a home?
  • How many other clients are you working with, if any? Will your workload affect your ability to work on my home?
  • I’ve spoken to another real estate agent who said they would list my home for a certain percent. Can you match that?

25. Follow up with a Thank You Note

Even if you don’t walk away with a  signed listing agreement  in hand, be sure to send a thank you note. Mail this out the day before your appointment, so it arrives soon after the appointment is over. This will ensure you make a good impression on everyone you meet.

Final Thoughts on 25 Steps to Win a Real Estate Listing Presentation

Whether it’s your first real estate listing presentation or you are a seasoned Realtor, these 25 steps can help you build a successful real estate business and bring the most amount of value to your clients.

Keep in mind that in the end, how you treat people will be more impactful than anything you say or do.

Recent posts, 11 steps to a winning real estate listing presentation.

Radius Blog 11 Steps to a Winning Real Estate Listing Presentation

There's no question that to be successful in real estate; you need to stand out from the competition. A great way to do this is by creating a winning real estate listing presentation. By following these eleven steps, you'll be well on your way to putting together a presentation that will make your clients sit up and take notice.

What is a Listing Presentation?

A real estate listing presentation is a detailed presentation that provides homeowners with an idea of how you will prepare their property for sale, how you will advertise it to potential purchasers, and at what price. Items you may include in the listing presentation are suggestions for exterior renovations and fixes, landscaping, interior improvements, staging, and room remodels.

Often, you'll present the information at the home of the seller, allowing you the opportunity to tour the house, or at your brokerage's office. The goal of the listing presentation is to highlight how you will market your client's home with actionable items, which may include an example of a property website, how you plan to generate interest, and examples of how you handle negotiating offers. You’ll also want to focus on what makes your approach unique and most importantly, successful.

Now that you understand what a real estate listing presentation is, let's dive into some listing presentation tips on how to create a seller presentation that wins you more contracts.

The 11 Steps to Follow

1. intro or cover page.

The seller will first see the cover page when looking at your presentation. It's essential to make a good impression with this step, so it's wise to pick an eye-catching font, distinctive photo, and include all of the house's most relevant information in an organized fashion. This is your chance to wow them from the get-go.

2. Agenda - What Will Be Covered in the Presentation

If The next step is to provide a list of items covered in the presentation. This will also serve as a table of contents and allow the homeowners to scan your presentation for specific areas they're looking for. It's a great way of organizing your presentation and saves time for everyone involved.

3. Icebreaker Questions

As you’re giving the seller presentation, this is an excellent time to ask your clients some questions that will help them feel relaxed and give you more insight into what makes their home special. These questions may include recent updates to the house, what it’s like to live in the neighborhood, and why they’ve decided to sell their home. Utilize this time to build rapport, and actively listen to their responses, incorporating follow-up questions where warranted.

4. Unique Selling Proposition (USP)

A unique selling proposition is what differentiates your service from other agents in the area. It's what stops potential clients from glossing over your message, forcing them to stop and listen to what you have to say.

Think about it from the standpoint of the homeowner. If they're meeting with multiple agents to find the right one to market their home, they've heard a lot of the information that you're already sharing with them. In an industry where many are doing the exact same thing as others, your USP is what is going to give you a leg up over the competition. It helps to be confident and specific in your approach.

5. Competitive Market  Analysis

Competition is always a good thing in the real estate market and knowing what you're up against will help you sell faster. Before sharing how you came to the price point you did for your client's listing, spend a few minutes going over comparable properties. Let the homeowner know how much these houses sold for, or are currently listed for, and the amount of time spent on the market.

Be sure to point out similarities and differences between the comparable properties and your client's property which will help them understand how you came to the listing price. This is an area where your expertise and knowledge can shine, so take advantage of the opportunity.

6. Pricing The Home to Sell

It's no secret that a homeowner wants to know how much money you can get them for their home. As a real estate agent, it's your job to remove the emotions from the price; it's not uncommon for homeowners to believe their house is worth more than it really is. After reviewing the comparative market analysis with the property owner, explain how and why you came to the listing price in detail so they can clearly understand your perspective and approach.

7. You and Your Brokerage

This is an excellent time to share testimonials from past clients, as well as any case studies you have on your website. It's proof that your style works and will help set the stage for what they can expect from you throughout the process. It can also help reassure them if they are on the fence about selecting you as their listing agent.

8. Testimonials/Case Studies

How do you optimize your profile bio in social media? You just have to keep things simple. Clarity is key. You have to be straightforward with what your brand or business is all about.

Have a clear and well-thought-out brand name, include a good quality picture, put relevant information in without stuffing, use relevant hashtags, and link to your website.

Having a website is the first step to an online presence, so be sure your social media can link back to your site where users can connect with you.

9. Marketing Strategy To Get Home Sold

All motivated homeowners want to sell their homes quickly and for top dollar. Now is the time to you provide a list of the marketing strategies you plan on using to get their home sold with their best interest in mind. Your client will be impressed with your dedication to selling their house, especially if they are in a hurry to get their home sold.

Be sure to include information on the different strategies you’ll use to market their home to buyers, examples of your marketing pieces, and how you plan to promote their home in various channels to expand the buyer pool.

10.  Next Steps

No presentation is complete without contact information for both you and your brokerage. Your clients need to be able to get in touch with you if they have any questions or concerns along the way, so be sure to provide all the ways they can get into contact with you.

This is also the perfect time to set boundaries and expectations with your clients so they know when you may not be available to answer a call, text, or email. By letting your clients know upfront when you take time for yourself and your family, they will be more likely to understand when they don't hear back from you right away.

11. Contact Information

Listing presentation tips, be authentic.

Don't try to be something you're not just because you think it will sell faster. Be honest with your clients about who you are and what you do best. Your most significant selling point is your authenticity and integrity, so make sure this shines through in all aspects of the presentation.

Make it About the Homeowner, Not Yourself

Your presentation should always be about your clients and how they feel. This is their house, and they need to see themselves living there, which means you want to make them feel comfortable during the presentation. You can sell yourself by describing what you do best and why it will help them during the process, but don't include any information that doesn't directly benefit them.

SNo matter how great you are at what you do, if clients don't trust you, you won't help them. Genuinely care about your clients and their needs from the very beginning. This will set a positive tone for all future interactions with them and make it easier for them to work with you throughout the process.

Take Notes and Be Engaging

Don't let your clients drift off while you're sharing your presentation with them. Be sure to take full advantage of your time by keeping them engaged and asking questions to get their feedback on every step. This is also where you can take notes on any ideas or concerns they may have about the process of selling their home, which will come in handy when you follow up with them after your real estate listing presentation.

Knowing how to do a listing presentation is one of the most important aspects of being a real estate agent and can expand your business significantly in today’s market. By following these 11 steps, you can create a winning listing presentation that will stand out from the competition and help you close more deals. Remember to be authentic, sincere, and engaging with your clients throughout the process to build trust and ensure a positive experience. Happy sellers are sure to tell their friends about you!

Last Updated on February 2, 2024 by Luke Feldbrugge

A listing presentation can make all the difference in securing new clients and growing your business in a competitive residential real estate market. If you’re looking to stand out and attract new clients, this comprehensive article will help you create a compelling listing presentation that resonates with potential sellers.

What is a Listing Presentation?

A listing presentation is a formal meeting between you, a real estate agent, and a potential seller. During this meeting, you showcase your services, expertise, research, and marketing plan to sell their property.

What is the Goal of a Real Estate Listing Presentation?

The primary goal of your listing presentation is to secure the listing. Your job is to convince the homeowner, your potential client, that you are definitely the best choice to sell their property.

A helpful tool to assist with the win, is a well thought out listing presentation. How you present their home will start to build client trust and confidence in your abilities; while establishing and supporting a new and growing relationship with the client.

It’s not just about numbers; it’s about establishing a personal connection, understanding the homeowners needs and expectations, and showing them you’re their trusted partner in this significant transaction.

What Should I Prepare for a Listing Presentation?

By conducting thorough research, showcasing your expertise, and addressing potential questions and objections in your listing presentation, you’ll be well on your way to impressing potential clients. Here are our suggestions on what you should prepare for a listing presentation:

1. Research the Property and Seller

Before you step into the seller’s home, gather as much information as possible about the property and the homeowner. This will help you tailor your presentation and show the homeowner that you took the initiative to do your homework.

  • Obtain property details, such as square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, recent renovations, and any unique features. If you have time, do a drive by and note the curb appeal and the upkeep of surrounding homes.
  • Research the local real estate market, recent sales in the area, and current market trends. If you have the ability, and believe in the importance and added-value that a CMA can provide a potential client (as we do), put one together as a supplement to your listing presentation. Remember giving more value to prospects than the other guy, leads to more clients.
  • Research the home’s neighborhood and highlight the conveniences, amenities and other selling points that you plan to use to promote their home. If you have a conversation before you present, try to learn the homeowner’s motivations, timeline, and any specific concerns or expectations they may have.

2. Use a Listing Presentation Template to Build Your Presentation

Using a listing presentation template offers a practical and efficient way to create compelling and professional looking presentations. It also enables you to focus on the content and personalization instead of the general framework. It will save you time, offer consistency, and help to present your talents and professional brand in a visually appealing way.

Two great places to find nice looking, professional listing presentation templates are on Canva and Etsy. They have hundreds of options. You will need a Canva Pro subscription for the premium listing presentation options, but the options on Etsy listing presentation options can be ordered by anyone.

3. Include a Comprehensive Marketing Plan

Show potential sellers that you have a clear strategy for marketing their property effectively. Highlight your unique value proposition and differentiate yourself from the competition by showcasing what sets you apart. Convey your professional expertise and experience during the presentation.

  • Create a detailed marketing plan that outlines your approach, including online and offline strategies.
  • Highlight your use of professional photography, virtual tours, and staging to enhance the property’s appeal.
  • Explain how you will leverage social media, online listings, and your network to reach a wider audience.
  • Discuss your knowledge of the local market, including recent sales, pricing trends, and neighborhood amenities.
  • Emphasize your negotiation skills and ability to handle complex transactions.
  • Share success stories and testimonials from previous clients to demonstrate your track record.

4. Anticipate Seller Questions and Objections

Prepare answers to questions about your marketing strategies, pricing recommendations, and negotiation tactics. Have responses ready for objections related to commission rates or other potential hesitations. And, show your willingness to adapt and customize your approach based on the seller’s needs.

5. Practice and Rehearse (DO NOT SKIP)

Practicing your presentation trains your brain to deliver it the way you want. If you skip this step, you may get side-tracked, or need to shoot from the hip. Don’t put yourself in this position and leave yourself open to potential regret.

Practice and rehearse your presentation until you nail it! Then…do it again.

Practice your speaking points to ensure you are clear and confident about the points you really want to drive home. Time yourself to ensure that you can cover all essential topics within the allotted meeting time. To take it a step further, consider presenting to a colleague or friend for feedback.

6. Be On Brand, Respectful and Bring Leave-Behinds

As you know, your appearance and demeanor matter when meeting potential clients. Dress in attire that reflects your standards, and your brand. Potential clients will remember you above all, so be what you want them to remember.

Be punctual and respectful of the seller’s time, and maintain a positive and upbeat attitude throughout the presentation. Be real. Be you. Authentic optimism goes a long way.

And, always have professional materials available as a leave behind, or if the presentation is done virtually, have digital files available to share with the sellers.

How Do You Stand Out in Your Market Using a Listing Presentation?

By crafting a compelling value proposition, leveraging technology and visuals, demonstrating local market mastery, offering creative marketing strategies, prioritizing exceptional customer service, addressing concerns proactively, and establishing a memorable brand identity, you can differentiate yourself and leave a lasting impression on potential sellers.

1. Highlight Your Unique Value Proposition

A unique value proposition can set you apart from the competition. Your listing presentation is the perfect platform to showcase your value proposition.

Highlight what makes you different, whether it’s your local expertise, a specialized niche, or a unique approach to marketing properties. Emphasize your commitment to personalized service and tailored solutions that address your clients’ specific needs and concerns.

Don’t know what your value proposition is? Here are some examples to consider, but realize there are others you could surely entertain. These are simply to get your wheels turning for your own listing presentation.

Local Expertise – Highlight your in-depth knowledge of a specific neighborhood or community so you can provide insight into schools, local amenities, recreational facilities, conveniences and other hidden gems.

Sample Tagline: “Navigating Neighborhood Secrets, So You Don’t Have To.”

Digital Marketing Mastery – Highlight your proficiency in online marketing and communication, including SEO, social media, and virtual tours. It allows you to showcase your ability to reach home buyers and sell properties efficiently, plus when used well, effectively and efficiently create amazing client experiences.

Sample Tagline: “Harnessing Technology to Sell Homes Faster.”

Stress-Free Transactions – Promises you will take care of any and all issues and keep things hassle-free and transparent for your clients throughout the transaction process. Highlight examples of how you provide exceptional customer service, clear communication, and expert negotiation and problem-solving skills.

Sample Tagline: “Your Peace of Mind, Our Priority.”

Homes for Heroes – If working with first responders, active military and veterans, healthcare workers and educators appeals to you, consider signing up to learn more about Homes for Heroes and how their real estate agents can position themselves in their local market extremely well by helping their local heroes save an average of $3,000 on a buy or sell, and an average of $6,000 if the the agent handles both transactions.

Definitely worth considering if serving your local hero groups is important to you.

2. Showcase Stunning Visuals and Tech

In today’s digital age, captivating visuals and technology that makes things easier can significantly enhance your listing presentation. Invest in professional photography, videography, and virtual tours to make your listings visually appealing. Promote your use of the latest tech tools to create interactive and immersive experiences for potential sellers, such as 3D property tours or augmented reality home staging.

If you’re not using one, try a virtual tour app and figure out what works best for you and your clients. Below are a few examples agents have recommended, but there are literally hundreds to choose from:

  • Ricoh Tours
  • Scenics App

3. Demonstrate Local Market Mastery

To truly stand out, you must exhibit a deep understanding of your local market. Provide a comprehensive market analysis that includes recent sales data, pricing trends, and neighborhood insights. Share your knowledge of upcoming developments, schools, parks, and amenities to help sellers see your expertise in their community.

In-Depth Market Research

Stay up-to-date with the latest market trends, including property values, inventory levels, and average days on market. Analyze historical data to identify patterns and fluctuations in the local market. Try to determine the primary factors influencing your market, such as employment opportunities, schools, transportation, and development projects.

Regularly Attend Local Events and Meetings

Get involved in community events, town hall meetings, and neighborhood associations. Networking with local leaders, residents, and fellow professionals can enhance your knowledge and establish you as an engaged community member and local market expert in your profession. Plus, it will open doors for new prospects.

Go on Frequent Property Tours

Regularly visit properties in your area to gain firsthand knowledge of their features, condition, and unique selling points. Being familiar with local inventory enables you to make informed recommendations to your clients.

Build a Reliable Local Professional Network

Cultivate working relationships with local contractors, inspectors, appraisers, and other professionals. Having immediate access to a reliable, trustworthy network of helpful professionals can streamline transactions and provide valuable resources for your clients.

Create and Provide Impressive Comparative Market Analysis Reports

A well-prepared CMA report provides valuable insights and helps the seller make informed decisions regarding their property’s listing price and marketing strategy. So, take the time to assemble the appropriate data and present it in an easy to comprehend report that calls out the most important information.

Include information such as general property information, features, amenities and current condition. Also cover comparable sales in the area, active listings, pending sales and any current market trends or special market analysis you’ve done.

Outline your pricing recommendations, rationale in support of your recommendations and your marketing strategy to sell the property. And, it doesn’t hurt to call out any professional accolades, awards or success stories that highlights the value you can offer the home seller.

Stay Informed About Zoning and Regulations

Understand zoning regulations, building codes, and land-use policies in your area. Being well-versed in local regulations can help clients navigate potential property issues.

Start with a Listing Presentation Template and Build Your Own Winning Sales Pitch and Design

Creating an effective listing presentation is a crucial skill for real estate agents to succeed in a competitive market.

How to deliver a killer listing presentation

what is a listing presentation

For any real estate agent looking to hit the next level, there’s a lot riding on the listing presentation. If you nail it, you could be looking at a profitable seller relationship that delivers steady commissions for years to come. But if you bomb?

Short of discounting your commissions, it’s hard to bounce back from a listing presentation flop. 

And while the listing presentation has been a cornerstone of real estate marketing for decades, there are now more ways than ever to create it. So how do you know which type of listing presentation makes the most sense for you? And what are the best ways to deliver your presentation in the current real estate market?

The truth is, every real estate team or agent is going to have their own recipe for what makes a killer listing presentation. If you want to deliver a presentation that makes you feel calm, confident and gets sellers ready to sign that agreement, it’s time to scrap (or adapt!) the classic formulas.

Table of contents

What is a listing presentation and how do you nail it, before your listing appointment.

  • During the listing presentation

After the listing presentation

A listing presentation is essentially a deep and informative sales pitch made by a real estate agent to a homeowner interested in selling their home.

Whether you’re a new or experienced agent, listings are a crucial part of maintaining a thriving real estate business. With a rich portfolio of property listings on your real estate website , you’re able to attract more buyers, elevate your authority, grow your sphere of influence (SOI) , and fuel your marketing efforts with a selection of beautiful homes for sale.

But it all comes down to your success with the listing presentation. With so much at stake, it’s understandable that agents often feel skittish about their ability to perform during this key meeting.

And it doesn’t help that some of the common advice (i.e., show up ten minutes early, send the pre-listing packet exactly three days before the appointment, always take your shoes off at the entrance, and so, so much more) doesn’t always fit every agent’s unique approach or personality.

Let’s outline the crucial factors of each part of the listing presentation to help give you a powerful but flexible structure to start with. From there, feel free to color outside the lines to create a listing presentation framework that makes you feel calm and confident.

💡Be sure to look out for bonus tips, scripts, and advice in this article from leadership coach & founder of Smart Inside Sales , Dale Archdekin!

Learn everything you can about the potential client, property and neighborhood.

The goal is to position yourself as the best possible person to help your prospect sell their home. 

For that to happen, you’ll need to know what the seller’s motivations are, while demonstrating deep knowledge of the market, property type and area in order to help secure the best possible price within their desired timeframe.

Get to know the prospect and property

Any real estate rainmaker will tell you that knowing your customer’s key needs and motivations is a crucial part of closing more listings, especially in today’s digital age when the next agent is literally just a click away.

Let’s check in on the latest data about what today’s sellers want , according to the National Association of Realtors Generational Trends Report:

  • 21% of sellers want an agent's help in marketing their home to potential buyers.
  • 20% want help selling the home within a specific timeframe.
  • 35% want an agent with a good reputation.
  • 85% of sellers said the real estate agent provided a broad range of services.

Clearly, trust, credibility, and a solid marketing plan are still crucial factors for sellers when it comes to choosing an agent. But how do you know what sellers might need on a personal level?

Social media can help fill in the blanks. Take a quick look at the seller’s online presence. Do they have a family? A pet? A love of the arts? By taking just a few minutes to “get to know” your prospect before you shake hands, you’ll be that much more confident when walking through the door.

Similarly, do your best to get to know the property and surrounding community as well as possible. Drive through the area and pinpoint the factors that will be most helpful in securing a top-dollar offer. 

Send your pre-listing packet

In your initial conversation with the potential seller, let them know you’ll be creating a detailed market analysis for their home. 

Be sure to ask if there’s anything that could impact the value of their home in either direction — updates, renovations, repairs needed, etc.

💡BONUS: Dale Archdekin’s essential questions

These questions help lay the ground work for securing the listing at the appointment. You are essentially asking the potential seller to tell you what they need to hear about you as an agent and about your marketing strategy in order to win the business at the appointment…and they don’t even realize it.

  • Can you tell me what makes your home special?
  • What’s important to you about the agent you use to sell your home?
  • How will you know when you’ve found the right agent?
  • How do you think your home would best be marketed/advertised?
  • Who do you think would be the ideal buyer for your home?
  • Have you worked with a listing agent in the past? What was your experience? Is there anything you would like done differently by your next listing agent?

Let them know in advance that you’ll be bringing the comparative market analysis (CMA) to your meeting so you can walk through it together, answer any questions they might have, and determine the highest possible price for their home.

Another great way to set yourself apart and get the seller warmed up before the big meeting is to send a pre-listing packet in advance.

But when should you send your pre-listing packet? Answers to this will vary depending on who you ask, but anywhere from three days to a week in advance is typically a good window to give your prospect time to digest the information, while staying present in their mind to help reduce the chance of cancellation.

💡BONUS: Advice & scripts from Dale

When you tell the potential listing client that you’ll be sending a pre-listing packet, get them to commit to reviewing it, coming up with questions and being prepared prior to the meeting. Include a URL with a pre-listing video, that’s nicer than just printed material.

Script 1: Prior to sending the listing packet

 “...we will be sending you a pre-marketing packet of information. It includes X, Y, and Z that are important information for you to make decisions about at our appointment. Can you do me a favor and review that information and make a note of your biggest questions before you meet with me/my listing partner on (date)?”

This quick script will help you or your assistant follow up after the pre-listing packet is sent and help set the scene for a successful appointment.

Script 2: Follow up prior to the appointment

 “Hi (contact name(s), this is (name) from (company), did you receive the pre-marketing packet we sent you? Have you reviewed it? Are you prepared with your top questions for me/my listing partner?

Script 3: Response prior to the appointment that sets the expectation

"Great! We look forward to seeing you on (date). We will be reviewing all of the paperwork needed to begin marketing your home at that time in addition to a pre-market advertising plan. We look forward to meeting you on (date)!"

Create your listing presentation

Now remember, your listing presentation doesn’t need to look like everyone else’s.

However, there are a few fundamental pieces that most successful agents tend to rely on to get their agreements signed.

Once you’ve chosen the structure and order of your content, you’ll need to decide what tools and format you’ll use to create your listing presentation. Classic hard-cover? A PowerPoint deck? Pdf? Live web page? Video? There are a ton of tools, options, and templates. Take this Canva template for example:

Here are just some of the tools agents are using to deliver their listing presentations:

  • Google Slides
  • SlideGo templates
  • Breakthrough Broker
  • Etsy templates

While the digital options are endless, many top-producing agents still recommend keeping a high-quality hard cover presentation in the mix.

If you’re using both a hard copy presentation and a digital version, try sending the digital version a day before the event via email. For extra points, you can also have your hard copy presentation hand-delivered to the seller’s home by a courier or supporting staff member. This is just another great way to show up professionally while reducing the likelihood of cancellation.

💡BONUS: Advice from Dale

Begin your listing presentation with the exciting marketing part, save the boring market analysis for later. In fact, wow them with the marketing/advertising plan, discuss the process of getting the home listed, ask how much they’d like to list for and then go to the market analysis if they ask for it or you disagree with their listing price. Don’t forget to bring at least one backup copy of your hardcover presentation to the appointment.

During your listing presentation

Now that you’re an expert on the property and prospect, you’re ready to make your presentation and win that listing!

Obviously, the prevailing advice to dress professionally, show up on time, and make sure you don’t block the prospect’s driveway still stands. In addition to nailing the etiquette, there are a few physical items you’ll want to bring along.

Alright, we’re clearly being a bit cheeky here. And sure, brownies are optional. But in all honesty, the one thing you need more than anything else if you want to win more listings is the ability to build a connection.

And that comes down to your ability to listen .

No matter how much effort you put into creating a killer listing presentation, it’s still not unheard of for experienced agents to lose listings to newer agents because the seller just felt a better connection with them. So slow down and tune in!

Touring the home and making the close

A common mistake many agents make is going straight into the tour of the property. But by starting in the living room or another relaxed setting to hear more about the seller’s goals, you start the appointment by flexing your listening skills and have the chance to really get clear on your seller’s motivations.

From there, you can go ahead and tour the property together. Many agents recommend doing the upstairs first, then downstairs, and then a full 360 tour of the outside before sitting down to look at the CMA together, pricing strategy, and marketing plan.

💡BONUS: Dale’s listing appointment flow

When the listing appointment gets set, the critical info of why the seller is selling, the unique situation they are in, what’s most important to them in their home sale, what’s important to them about the marketing of their home…etc. That information must be collected so you can use that at the beginning of your live meeting with the seller.

Listing appointment flow:

  • Introductions
  • Review the goals/needs/wants of the seller “When we spoke you mentioned x was important to you…” (this proactive retelling of what the seller said shows that you are professional, prepared, actively listened, and more importantly, sets the tone and direction of the conversation)
  • Ask for a guided tour of the property
  • Reconvene at the meeting spot and solicit the seller's questions from the pre-list packet. “I’m really excited to expose your amazing home to the market and generate a solid pool of buyers who want to compete with each other for it. Let me show you how we do that with a mixture of marketing, paid advertising, and leveraging our market share here in (local market).” Now it’s time to head into the next step of presenting.
  • Present your exciting marketing/advertising strategy
  • Ask the seller if they’ve decided how much they want to list for
  • If agreeable, cover paperwork and skip market analysis, ask for signature
  • If not agreeable, review market analysis, then cover paperwork and ask for signature

You’ve made it through the presentation and (hopefully) won the listing. Congrats! 🎉

If you’ve listened like a friend, handled objections with ease and empathy, and kept the presentation focused firmly on their needs — you’re probably holding a signed listing agreement in hand.

But regardless of the outcome, remember to always thank the seller for their time. From there, you can add the seller to a dedicated email drip campaign that keeps them updated on the market and provides them with tips on how to stage their home and make the most of each viewing. 

If you’ve already got a killer real estate newsletter , much of this content can be repurposed to be targeted directly toward sellers. If you’re a Follow Up Boss user, you can easily get these emails going out automatically by using our super straightforward action plans .

Ultimately, you aren’t in control of your prospect’s decision to work with you. But you are responsible for the amount of energy and empathy that goes into your listing presentations. Focus on showing up as a trusted ally for sellers, and the listings are sure to follow!

How to Prepare the Perfect Listing Presentation

How to Prepare the Perfect Listing Presentation

To ace your listing presentations, you have to master great first impressions, you must be well prepared, and you need to overcome common objections.

Hyperlocal Strategies New Agents Realtor Success Tips

So, you’ve sent out your marketing campaign, you’ve gotten a number of phone calls and you have scheduled a meeting with a potential seller. 

Congrats!  But the real work has just begun. It’s time to prepare yourself for the listing presentation.

The perfect sales presentation includes four main components: making a good first impression, being well prepared and knowledgeable, overcoming objections and getting the listing signed.

So what exactly makes the perfect listing presentation?

first great impression

Making a great first impression

Never underestimate the impact of a first impression. As Jordan Belfort (the Wolf of Wall Street himself) said: “It takes only a quarter of a second for a prospect to make an initial decision about you when you meet them in person.”

First and foremost, don’t make the amateur mistake of not dressing up for the part. Surgeons wear scrubs, firemen wear firefighting gear, and judges wear robes. You need to dress up like a professional real estate agent. 

Not only will dressing up help you look the part as a real estate professional, but subconsciously it will also give you an extra bit of confidence.

Image by Google

“When I have a tan, freshly cut hair, and I am wearing a smile and my new, tailored suit and gold watch, I know I can conquer the world.” Says Fredrik Eklund on the book “The Sell.” 

“No matter what you do in life, even if you’re a telephone operator sitting in a cubicle, looks matter. Why? How you feel directly correlates with your attitude. If you feel polished and put together, your performance is polished and put together.”

Looking like a professional is extremely important in real estate, especially during your first in-person meeting with a client. And it makes a lot of sense if you think about the nature of your job.

For most people, their home is the largest financial asset they will ever own. If you’re going to be helping them sell it, you need to demonstrate that you’re qualified to do so. Dressing up is the first step towards convincing your clients that you are.

Next, you need to master the perfect handshake. Many agents overlook the importance of a good handshake but don’t make the same mistake. Whether you like it or not, a handshake says a lot about you. 

As a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology discovered “handshaking characteristics are related to both objective personality measures and the impressions people form about each other.”

That’s why you have to make sure the message your handshake communicates is a positive one.

Your handshake should be firm and deliberate. Neither a vice grip nor a wet fish. More of a gentle squeeze.  Handshakes should last between two to five seconds at most but pay attention to the other person’s lead, and politely pull away when ready. 

And as you shake your client’s hands, make sure you maintain eye contact. Eye contact communicates confidence and honesty. 

The Australian Government put together an awesome video on handshakes to avoid.

At first glance, these details may seem unnecessary and pedantic. But never forget that you can’t undo first impressions. You only get one chance to get it right.

Of course, a nice tailored suit and a strong handshake are not going to get you the listing signed by themselves. But they will give you a significant head start in establishing a great first impression!

show up well prepared

Show up well prepared

It’s not enough to look like a professional, you have to prove that you are one. 

How do you do that? By showing up to your listing presentation well prepared.

Good preparation lets you anticipate questions and overcome objections, all while proving your real estate expertise.

You want to prepare a detailed and informative listing presentation that educates your client on the current market, how the listing and selling process is going to be, and which marketing skills you’ll bring to the table.

And ideally, you’ll do your listing presentation in a way that proves that you are the best real estate agent they could hope for. 

Let’s take a look at an example:

Agent Andrew just got a call from Sarah. She wants to list her home, so she set up an appointment with Andrew to see if he’s the right agent for the job.

What should Andrew bring to the listing presentation?

Andrew should bring:

Comparable properties

Andrew would bring printouts or a Powerpoint presentation showcasing recently sold homes comparable to Sarah’s home. 

These printouts and/or slides should include relevant statistics such as how long the listings stayed on the market, which price reductions they had and when, and how these properties differ from Sarah’s. 

These comparables are extremely important because they will help Andrew prove how much Sarah’s home is worth based on real data, and will be instrumental in pricing the home to sell from day one.

“Comps should ideally have the same number of bedrooms and bathrooms, be located within a quarter-mile of your home, and within 200 square feet of your home’s size.” Says Tristan Ahumada, CEO of Lab Coat Agents. “Whenever possible, they should be in your ZIP code and school district too.” 

A marketing plan

Andrew should also bring to his listing presentation a detailed plan showcasing the marketing efforts he will execute to help sell Sarah’s home. This will include how he plans on staging her home, how he will use professional photography, when and how he will run open houses and the traditional and digital marketing channels he will use to market her home.

Andrew will also make sure to assure Sarah that he doesn’t plan on just uploading her home on MLS, or put up a sign on her yard and just call it a day.

A point-by-point explanation of the sales process

One of the biggest contributions that real estate agents bring to home sellers is their ability to smooth the buying and selling process.

That’s why it’s very important for Andrew to explain how the entire selling process will go, and how his skills and resources will make the process go smoothly. 

His listing presentation should be well-rehearsed and perfected. That way, if he’s ever asked to meet with a prospective client without warning, he’d be able to do so confidently and without stressing too much.

common objections

Overcoming common objections

Of course, even if you make a great first impression and wow your prospects with your listing presentation, there’s always the possibility that you’ll get some objections. That’s why it’s important to familiarize yourself with some of the most common objections and prepare a strategy to overcome them.

Some common objections are:

“Another agent offered to list my home for less.”

Given the dollar amounts you’re dealing with in any real estate transaction, it’s only natural to expect clients that try to spend as little money as possible. To overcome this objection, you can reply with:

“I only get a small portion of the commission. Half of it is used to attract buyers from other real estate agents. If we reduce the commission, the only thing we’ll accomplish is harming our marketing efforts and reduce the number of potential buyers.” 

“Unfortunately, I’m not able to cut my commission. This is the standard I charge. I give all of my clients full service and I want to give you my full service as well. If you would like to hire me as your agent, I would love to sell your home!”

“There are a lot of agents out there who are willing to cut their commission and I do not advise going with a discount agent. They likely will have little involvement in the sale of your home and may not do any marketing.”

“I really want to work with you. But can you give me a discount?”

Just like the last objection, the client is trying to pay as little as possible. But they are a bit more committed, so you can reply with something like:

“If your home sells in two weeks, then I don’t mind adjusting my commission. But if your home takes longer to sell than that, then I will need to charge my standard rate. That’s because I need to consider my marketing costs and all the work and effort that goes into the sale

“If I bring my own buyer, sure!”

“We are meeting with a few agents and then we will make our decision.”

This is typically a stalling tactic. You can assume that any lead you meet in a listing presentation has compared you to other agents. But don’t forget that they liked you enough to meet you in person. There’s usually a real reason hidden beneath the surface, so you should ask open-ended questions to draw it out; questions that start with “what”, “where”, “when” and “how.” 

Generally, you want to avoid questions with “why” because they tend to sound accusatory. 

Try something like: 

“I understand. What specifically are you are looking for in an agent?”

“It sounds like you don’t want to work with an agent that doesn’t have your best interest in mind, do you? How would you describe the right agent for you?”

“We just wanted to find out the price of our home, we will let you know if we decide to list.”

This is another stalling tactic, usually because your presentation failed to impress your clients. Again, you need to draw out the real reason why they don’t want to list right now. Use open-ended questions, and listen carefully.

“… if we decide to list? (wait for their response, and listen carefully.) How will you determine when the best time to list is?” (wait for their response and keep listening).’

Then you can follow up with:

“It sounds like you want to get the best possible price for your home. What price range are you hoping to get? (wait for response). We can always put the home on the market and if you do not get your asking price then we can take it off. Does that sound like a terrible strategy? (say it with a friendly, knowing smile)”

“Can we have a shorter listing agreement?”

This client is already convinced of your qualities as a real estate agent. But they need reassurance that they made the right choice.

“…Shorter listing agreement? (wait for your prospect’s response and listen carefully). I’m sure you want me to market your home to the best of my abilities. How am I supposed to do that with a short listing agreement? (wait for his/her response.)”

Follow with:

“If that’s what you want, I’ll do that. But I’m sorry… I cannot commit to my standard marketing plan with a shorter than standard listing agreement. It wouldn’t be fair to invest a substantial amount of marketing funds into a listing that I am only given a short amount of time to sell.”

“Why don’t we sign at the standard listing time and if, for any reason, you do not feel I am the right fit, we can cancel the listing if you choose to do so.”

“Another agent told us we could get a lot more for our home.”

This objection comes from a place of emotion, not logic. If you showed the prospect a few comparable properties, you’ve already provided plenty of evidence about the real value of their home. Instead of beating them over the head with stats, try to empathize with the client. Then reply with something like:

“… a lot more?” (wait for response ) “I can’t speak for that agent, nor how he or she came to that conclusion. But correct me if I’m wrong, but it sounds like you’re worried that I’m not giving you a favorable listing price.” 

You can then follow up with

“These comparables show what the market is willing to pay for your home right now. At the end of the day, we’re gonna list at whatever price you want. But I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t tell you that if we list too high, you’ll be placing your home in the lower end of a higher price range. On that higher price range, buyers will be comparing your home to others with more amenities and features.

You’ll also miss out on the traffic that comes from buyers searching for homes on the price range that the market says your home is worth.”

The key to a perfect listing presentation is preparation. As Brian Tracy said in The Psychology of Selling, “Everything you do in the sales process, from the first contact through to the close of the sale and the delivery of the product or service, has an effect.[…] Nothing can be left to chance. It all counts.”

Being well prepared for a listing presentation will help you demonstrate your skills as an excellent real estate agent to your clients, and will also help you anticipate issues and overcome objections. All while remaining cool and collected. 

So once you put together a beautiful listing package, have done your research, and perfected your first impression, you’ll be able to feel prepared and confident in any appointment you book with your clients.

And most importantly, you’ll increase the chances of putting a brand new listing on the market with your name on it!

Create a Listing Presentation that Generates Listings

How to Create a Listing Presentation that Generates Listings

At some point during your Direct Mail campaign, the phone is going to ring with a prospective client on the other end who’s interested in selling their home. In a previous post, we shared some of our top tips for Successfully Following Up with Real Estate Leads . In this post, we will bridge the gap between getting that phone call, and converting your lead into a listing with a winning listing presentation.

What is a Listing Presentation?

In real estate, a listing presentation demonstrates everything you will do and utilize to market and sell a prospective client’s home. The listing presentation itself can be in print form, like a real estate brochure , or in PDF form.

Regardless of its format, the listing presentation goes a long way in determining whether a client will make the decision to sign a listing agreement with you or another agent. If you are an agent in a competitive  market, how do you differentiate yourself as an expert real estate agent?

what is a listing presentation

What’s in a Great Listing Presentation?

A great listing presentation boils down to your Value Proposition: demonstrating your expertise, and what you can offer them compared to another real estate agent or team. Here are a few tips that can help you create the best possible listing presentation for your clients.

Proof of Production

Demonstrating expertise to prospective listing clients comes down to proof of production and experience in their industry. When it comes to real estate, the Gold Standard of proof comes in the form of listing (and closing) a home in the same subdivision.

If your listing presentation takes place within your real estate farm , there is a strong chance they are responding to one of your postcard marketing campaigns. Therefore, your presentation should be a more in-depth version of the information you’ve been sending.

Here are some examples of the sections to include to make your listing presentation the best it can be.

A Short Bio

Unless you have an About Me page on your website or social media page, they may not know much about your experience in the industry or who you are.

Your bio should be kept to the basics:

  • How long you have been in the industry;
  • Your ties to the area;
  • Why you love selling real estate;
  • Any relevant certifications or designations

Marketing Tactics for Listing Homes

There are two distinct avenues when it comes to marketing a home for sale: methods used by every real estate agent, and methods you use.

The latter avenue is where savvy real estate agents demonstrate their unique value proposition, setting themselves apart from other Realtors in the area.

For example, any real estate agent can list a home on their region’s MLS, and put a For Sale Sign on the front lawn. 

Going above and beyond, and being willing to spend money on their behalf, is where great real estate agents separate themselves from the average. Notable marketing offerings include:

  • A substaintial database of buyer contacts.
  • An extensive list of vendors that can help them get their home ready for showings.
  • Hiring a professional photographer to take photos that will go on the MLS and additional real estate marketing materials .
  • Hosting Open Houses (you’d be amazed at how many real estate agents dislike hosting them).
  • Video and Virtual Tours

This is by no means an extensive list, but the more value you can offer to a listing client, the more likely they will choose you as their agent.

what is a listing presentation

Do Your Homework and Double-Check

One of the reasons you send postcards and market to a particular area is because you know the area, and consider yourself an expert within a specific community. However, has anything changed since you started your farming campaign ? Has turnover or the average sale price dipped or spiked in the last few weeks or months? 

Doing your homework also applies to your clients themselves. Thanks to search engines or social media, 

By doing your homework ahead of time, you avoid the possibility of contradicting yourself during your presentation.

what is a listing presentation

Professional Image is a Must

Presenting a professional image is important during every step of the real estate transaction and organization will set you free. Let’s compare two real estate agents:

  • Agent Alpha: Agent prepares a clean, colorful, and professional listing presentation via PowerPoint, and brings at least two (2) tablets with the slideshow uploaded for convenient viewing.
  • Agent Beta: Agent brings a stack of loose leaf documents, printed in gray-scale or black and white, with grainy images and graphs.

Agent Beta may be the greatest salesperson in the world, but taking the extra time to create a professional image for your presentation improves your chances of gaining your prospective client’s trust and attention.

what is a listing presentation

Provide Valuable Information

Once you have established yourself as a real estate agent who knows how to convert listings, your listing presentation should shift its focus into your prospective client’s specific needs. The best way to provide this information is through graphs, charts, and other pertinent statistics regarding their home.

As you go through the various data points, make sure to make eye contact, and read their reactions. If they interject, stop talking and listen carefully . It’s incredibly easy to stay in sales mode, and if you make your prospective client(s) feel like you’re not listening, you reduce your chances of earning a listing. 

The most important reasons to provide your clients with cold, hard facts in your presentation are transparency and honesty . Savvy real estate agents have encountered numerous prospects who think their home is worth more than what the market dictates.

Since honesty is the key to building any relationship, the worst thing you can do is provide false hope that you can sell their home for more than the market norm. Even if they choose to go with a different agent, there will always be another opportunity.

Final Touches

At the end, ask them if they have any questions. If you presented a slideshow on a tablet, offer to email the presentation to them. You can also offer to add them to your email list, and let them know that you will follow up in the near future. 

When you hop into your car, take a few moments to think about how you did. Open up the voice recorder on your smartphone, and if you have any thoughts or notes regarding your presentation. These notes can help you with future listings, and help you polish your skills.

Follow-Up and Feedback

You’ve given it your all, and now it is up to your prospects to make a decision. A gentle thank-you email is a nice touch, and will demonstrate your enthusiasm for helping them sell their home. 

If they opt for a different agent, don’t take it personally. Instead, ask them for feedback on how you did with your presentation. This will not only help you improve your skills, but could also set you up for future listings, especially if the agent they chose doesn’t deliver.

A quality Listing postcard is a great way to show proof during your Listing Presentation, and Wise Pelican makes it easy. You can create a free account with no credit card to see how Wise Pelican works by clicking here .

Digital Listing Presentation vs. Traditional

digital vs traditional

There are some significant differences between digital listing presentations and traditional paper-based presentation.  Both you and the sellers can access the digital presentation simply by sharing it via a link online. On the other hand, traditional presentations are physical, paper-based documents that you need to print out and present in person.

One of the main differences between the digital listing presentation and traditional is the level of interactivity and engagement they offer.

Digital presentations can incorporate multimedia elements like videos, animations, and virtual tours that can help bring properties to life and engage potential clients in a more dynamic way.

Traditional presentations are more static and don’t offer the same level of interactivity. While they may be more familiar to some clients, they are also more cumbersome to transport and store and don’t have the same level of polish and professionalism as digital presentations. And let’s face it – everyone is used to digital nowadays. Traditional listing presentations are also more expensive and time-consuming to both create and deliver.

Tips for Creating Digital Listing Presentation

5 steps for a powerful real estate listing presentation.

First impressions make deals.

The listing presentation is a real estate agent’s opportunity to make a first impression on their prospective client. This is the presentation that pitches them as the best person to hire.

A great listing presentation converts home sellers into clients.

There’s a common saying in real estate that goes, “when you list, you last.” It means that agents who work with listings have long-term success.

So, how do you make a powerful listing presentation to get the listing?

You have to focus on building trust. When the prospective client trusts you with their biggest investment, then you have a deal.

Building trust in your listing presentation comes down to 5 steps.

Step 1: Dress Professional

Dressing like a professional makes you feel like a professional. When you feel like a professional, your prospective client believes you’re the professional.

Clients want real estate agents who they can trust. Dressing like a professional sends the message that you are serious about your career. You show the client that you hold your work to a high standard.

From the client’s perspective, they want a real estate agent who wants the best for them. The client’s well-being is their priority, which is why they are looking for a real estate agent.

Communicate to the prospective client that you uphold your fiduciary duties and ensure their well-being. The client expects professionalism. So, deliver on their expectations and become professional – starting with what you wear.

Step 2: Prepare the Right Information

Information sells. The information you share with the prospective client is part of making a powerful listing presentation.

So, what do you include in your listing presentation? You should communicate the value you can give with numbers. A property profile shows their land’s primary selling points. So, add this data:

  • Size of property
  • Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
  • Age of the property
  • Competitive market analysis (CMA)

Collecting this data shows the value position the listing can take in the market. It can show your home seller how much money they can make. At the end of the day, they want the best deal possible.

How to Make a Competitive Market Analysis

The competitive market analysis shows how much money similar houses made when they were sold. This analysis collects information from houses that fit the make-up of the property you want to sell.

This information can become skewed if the information is not collected right, which gives your client the wrong expectation.

So, how do you make an accurate competitive market analysis?

Start with learning about the house’s make-up. Contact a title representative to collect information on the square feet, bedrooms, bathroom, age, encumbrances, and anything else that you can find. Next, use the MLS to find similar houses in the area to see the sales price.

Once you have this information, you can make an accurate estimate of the property’s value.

The property value is a powerful piece of information. It shows the seller how much they can make. They don’t just see the number, but they visualize everything they can do with that money. They feel what life is like when they have that much money.

Step 3: Measure Motivation

The seller’s motivation to sell tells you how to handle the listing sale. Their motivation determines the goal you set for yourself.

If the prospective client’s purchase of another home is contingent on the sale of their current home, then time is of the essence. Speed is a priority. But, if they are an investor who wants to cash out, then time will come second to earnings. They want the most money possible from the sale.

So, how do you find your client’s motivation for selling?

Make time to understand their motivation. Communicate with the client. Top-producing listing agents get to know their clients because that’s how they get the information they need to satisfy their needs.

Step 4: Pick a Price

Time to pick a price. The price determines how much money the prospective client makes and how much you, the listing agent, make.

The price of the home can become a contentious subject. Sometimes, the seller will ask for a higher price to make more money. They might expect to make more money (especially if the market is in favor of sellers.)

As an expert in real estate, you must share a convincing reason as to why you chose the price. Take the seller’s motivation into consideration along with the market and your CMA. Together, these factors should help you show your prospective client the correct answer.

Remember, at the end of the day, your fiduciary responsibility is to follow your client’s wishes. So, if they don’t budge on the asking price, you can choose to follow their wishes or turn down the listing.

Step 5: Sign the Contract

After you and the prospective client agree on a price, you should have them sign a Residential Listing Agreement (RLA). This is an official declaration of converting them from a prospective client to an actual client.

The RLA should communicate, with clarity, the timeline of the representation and the expectations of the parties involved. Now, all that’s left to do is sell the property.

Final Thoughts on Making a Powerful Real Estate Listing Presentation

What makes a real estate listing presentation powerful is its ability to build trust. So, your goal is to ensure the prospective client can trust you. You can do this with how you present yourself, the data you share, and how you communicate with the homeowner.

At the end of the day, the homeowner wants everything to go well for themselves. So, practice empathy. What would convince you to hire a specific agent to sell your home?

Must-Have Items in Your Listing Presentation

Share this article via:

Put your best face forward when you go into your next listing appointment by preparing the perfect listing presentation.

You’ve heard from a longtime lead or referral that they’re ready to invite you into their home to talk about a potential sale. What should you bring along to convince them that you’re the right listing agent or broker? How can you leave them with food for thought if they’re on the fence or get them geared up to sign on the dotted line if they’re ready to move forward?

Here are the essential ingredients to sharing your expertise so that interested leads become excited new clients. Be sure to have a polished listing presentation for both in-person and virtual listing appointments so that you’re always ready whenever and wherever they are.

1.   A Preliminary CMA (Comparative Market Analysis)

The most important thing your potential sellers want to know is how much they can get for their home. While you’ll no doubt want to make adjustments once you’ve walked the property, come prepared with a preliminary CMA based on comps and on the best information available to you about the home’s condition. This will give you the ability to talk in practical terms about the property’s potential in the current market.

After the appointment, follow up with a final CMA report. We also recommend sharing a Net Sheet with the homeowner, so they’ll have a good understanding of the costs – and potential profits! – upfront.

2.   Exceptional photography and graphic design

Include beautiful photographs of you, your area, and other real estate-related images along with well-designed infographics and graphic elements that capture attention. If you have examples of listing brochures or other marketing collateral you created for past listings, share them with your potential clients during the listing presentation.

A beautifully printed listing presentation and supporting materials is a reflection of how you market your real estate services — and how you’ll market their property.

Examples of what to include in your listing presentation

PRO TIP: When creating your listing presentation you can use software like Powerpoint, but you can also set up a free Canva.com account and they have some wonderful templates you can use. You’ll also find quite a few presentation templates on Etsy that you can purchase and then customize on Canva as well.

3.   Past seller success stories + testimonials

One of the best ways to convince new clients that you’re the right person for their real estate transaction is through testimonials and reviews from deliriously happy clients . Carefully select the best and most enthusiastic testimonials and feature them prominently in your listing presentation. This will help potential clients better understand the value you bring to their transaction and what it’s like to work with you.

If you don’t have a large selection of client testimonials (yet!), you can also highlight some successes you’ve had over the last year. A few examples:

  • “123 Darling Lane received 7 offers in the first weekend and sold for $22,000 over the asking price.”
  • “222 Charming Avenue was listed with another Realtor for two months without an offer. We took the listing over, helped the seller stage the home and improve the landscaping. The seller accepted a full price offer after only 5 days on the market.”
  • “We ran our Coming Soon marketing campaign for 999 Samson Street. In the first day on the market we had over 27 home buyers tour the home on the first day it was listed. We received multiple offers and sold for $7500 over the listing price.”

4.   Relevant statistics and results

Numbers are convincing, so if you have impressive statistics and stellar past results, this is the place to share them. Are your days on market lower or average sale price higher than other agents and brokers in your area? Have you gotten exceptional results with a record-setting sale price in one of the neighborhoods you serve? Find ways to translate your value into numbers so that potential clients can better understand what you’re bringing to the table.

5.   Neighborhood-specific track record

If you’re pitching for a listing in a neighborhood where you’ve represented buyers and sellers in the past, you have an opportunity to position yourself as the neighborhood expert. Refer to your previous successes so that homeowners will trust you to correctly position their property.

If you regularly market to specific neighborhoods, consider creating targeted listing presentations aimed at each of your geographic farms.

6.   Authority-building content and media coverage

If you create your own content in a blog, podcast, or video platform, highlight the expertise you share there and the network and influence it allows you to build. If you’ve been profiled in the media or contributed your expertise as an interview source, share that coverage so that homeowners can see you as an industry-leading expert.

7.   A well-defined marketing strategy

You want to be clear about how you will market the property, so be sure to include information about the marketing platforms and techniques you use. Explain how you will plan and roll out the listing, including any pre-listing (i.e. “Coming Soon”) activities you plan to employ.

Provide a timeline based on the homeowner’s plans and let them know what you will need from them to deploy your marketing strategy.

8.   Powerful differentiators

What do you offer that makes you different from the other listing agents the homeowner may be talking with about selling their home?

  • Is professional photography, videography, and copywriting included on every listing?
  • Do you create video ads to run on streaming platforms and YouTube AdRolls?
  • Will the seller have access to a staging service that prepares the home before it’s listed?
  • Do you offer a flexible commission structure based on who procures the buyer?
  • How frequently will you communicate with the homeowner during the listing?

Whatever you do that is unique to you and outshines the competition, include it in your presentation.

9.  Value-added services available

What are some of the ‘extras’ you may offer your home sellers? Do you provide cleanout and storage services for elderly homeowners? Can the home sellers use your branded moving truck on moving day? How will your preferred lenders and closing officers help make the transaction seamless? Do you provide referrals for sellers who are relocating to another city? Your listing presentation should provide additional information about ways you can help simplify and streamline their upcoming move.

10. Required documents

The homeowners may want to talk things over with each other or they may be speaking with another agent for comparison. However, if they decide that they want to sign with you on the spot, be prepared with the listing agreement, disclosure, and other documents you need to bring them on board. If the listing is planned within less than a week, put signage in your car’s trunk and be ready to post a pre-listing rider or make arrangements for sign installation as soon as possible.

Following up after the listing presentation

Like everything in real estate, the key to success is in the follow-up! Don’t forget to send a thank you note or a personal video message to express your appreciation for the homeowner’s time and consideration. Remember, a personal touch is always delightful, so include a detail or two from your conversation to make your communication more authentic and meaningful.

Don't start your work presentations by simply saying 'hello.' Here's how to be more engaging in the conference room.

  • I'm a public-speaking expert, and I've trained many executives and senior teams.
  • I tell all of them to stop starting work presentations with a salutation or a "hello."
  • Instead, you should engage your audience by telling a story or asking a question.

Insider Today

I'm sure you've sat through plenty of presentations where the presenter starts with a polite salutation like, "Hello, thank you for having me here today," or, "I am so glad to be here" — often followed by their name and professional résumé . Sometimes, if it's an internal meeting, you get the same salutations followed by an agenda slide with bullet points and the presenter narrating it.

As a public-speaking coach who has worked with many executives and senior teams, I know how to make work presentations more engaging. Here's how you should change your approach.

If you stick to your old ways, you aren't leaving a memorable first impression

Your audience is thinking three things when you walk into that conference room or onto that stage: Who is this person, why should I care, and how are they going to solve my problem?

Let's face it: Most people are more interested in how you will solve their problem than in you and your professional résumé. So let's flip the script a bit. Start with the solution to their problem, briefly talk about yourself for credibility, and then give them a reason to care.

Instead, try to capture their attention

Begin your presentation with a hook or a story — something that grabs their attention right from the start. For instance, your hook might be, "Did you know this?" or "What if that?" It could also be a short story that humanizes your services or products.

Most presentations are predictable; wouldn't it be better for both your time and your audience if you could introduce an element of surprise?

Some might feel it rude not to thank the organizer or greet the audience, so I suggest finding another place in your presentation for this. Here's a good structure:

Intro: "What if you could be a more confident and credible presenter? What if you could engage with your audience so they remember your products or services?"

Credibility: "My name is Meridith, and I've been coaching entrepreneurs and executives on how to speak with spark for over a decade, and I am really excited to be here. I want to thank [insert name] for inviting me to share the afternoon with you."

Solution: "Today, I will give you three ways to make your audience remember your products and services, helping you stand out in a competitive market. Let's get this party started!"

You could also try to form a personal connection

Often, presentations lack a personal touch. Try sharing a relevant personal anecdote or experience that relates to your topic. This not only makes your work presentation more relatable but also helps to establish a deeper connection with your audience.

For example, you could say: "When I was younger, I often hid in the back of the classroom, hoping the teacher wouldn't call on me because I didn't want to sound stupid or have the wrong answer. Later in life, I discovered acting and improv comedy . It was through the practice of these two art forms that I developed my confidence and learned how to engage more courageously with others. Today, I will give you solutions for how you can also better engage your audience with spark."

Try to encourage interaction

At the very least, you should try to engage your audience from the beginning — whether in person or on virtual calls. You can ask a thought-provoking question or propose a challenge that involves them directly. This approach shifts the dynamic to more interactive and engaging sessions.

If you implement any of these suggestions, you can make your presentation memorable and impactful immediately. And you'll most likely get a larger return on your investment of time and energy.

In today's fast-paced world, where attention spans are increasingly shorter than ever, it's crucial to grab and hold your audience's attention from the very beginning. By doing so, you set the stage for a more engaging and productive interaction. So challenge yourself to break free from presentation norms and embrace a style that resonates deeply with your audience and leaves a lasting impression.
