Introduction:

Have you ever wondered why your prospect offers aren’t working? You’re not alone! Many agents mistakenly offer something their prospects can easily get elsewhere, only to be met with silence or rejection. It’s time to rethink the offers you’re making. In today’s competitive real estate market, if you’re not providing unique value, you’re getting overlooked.

In this article, I’ll dive into what makes an offer irresistible, how to tailor it to your audience, and why your prospects will want to work with you instead of doing it themselves. Plus, watch the video below for more insights!

Watch: Why Your Prospect Offers Fail & How to Fix Them!

Why Your Offers Aren’t Working

Think about the last offer you made to a prospect. Did it sound like this?

• “I can help you find properties that match your criteria.”
• “I can tell you how much your home is worth.”

Years ago, these offers might have been appealing, but today, with endless online resources and tools, prospects can find this information on their own. So, why would they need you?

The truth is, if your offer can be easily obtained without your help, you’re setting yourself up for failure.

The Key to Making Irresistible Offers

Your prospect offers must have one key quality: they should provide something that only you can offer. You need to be indispensable to your clients. Here’s are some examples you can use:

1. Offer Off-Market Opportunities
   What if you could give your buyers access to properties before they hit the market? By offering something exclusive—such as homes that aren’t listed online yet or properties that aren’t actively being sold—you give them a reason to work with you.Example:
   • “Would you like to be alerted to properties before they’re available to the public?”
   • “I can show you homes that match your criteria but aren’t even for sale yet. Interested?”
2. Help Sellers Increase Their Home’s Value
   Offering a home valuation has lost its shine. Sellers can hop onto Zillow and get an instant estimate. However, they can’t figure out how to make their home worth more with a few key updates or changes without an expert like you.Example:
   • “I can show you the top improvements that will increase your home’s value with minimal investment. Interested?”

(Understand the Litmus Test: Here’s a simple test: ask yourself, “Can my prospect get this offer without me?” If the answer is yes, it’s time to rethink the value you’re providing.)

Why Exclusivity Matters

Exclusive offers have value because they stand out in a crowded marketplace. Today’s buyers and sellers are bombarded with information, so it’s critical that your prospect knows they won’t get what you’re offering from anyone else. When you position yourself as the gatekeeper to something special—something they can’t access on their own—you immediately increase your relevance.

Common Mistakes Agents Make

Many agents think that if their prospect declines their offer, it’s due to a lack of interest or motivation. But, oftentimes, the prospect is planning to move—they’re just not seeing the value in what you’re offering. You need to connect the value of your offer to you. Only then will your prospect see you as essential.

Final Thoughts

In real estate, prospects have more access to information than ever before. Your job is to offer them something they can’t get without you. Whether that’s early access to properties or insights into maximizing home value, the difference between success and failure in converting leads often comes down to your offer.
