A MESSAGE FROM LIBERTAS GROUP

Harris Real Estate Daily

By Tim & Julie Harris Β· December 8, 2025

🌟 Good evening, {{first_name| listing agents}}! Before a single comp is reviewed, before a marketing plan is shared, and long before commission is discussed… the sellers have already formed an opinion of you.

Your listing appointment actually begins the moment your car door clicks shut. Every detail β€” your timing, your posture, your tone, your energy, your professionalism β€” sends a signal. Sellers are constantly assessing whether you’re the agent they can trust with their biggest financial asset.

Ready to win the listing before you even open your briefcase? Click the video below to watch and listen to Tim and Julie discuss the 10 winning habits in detail. πŸ‘‡οΈ

The following ten habits are the ones top agents use to win the listing before the presentation even begins. Master these, and you’ll walk into every appointment with momentum already on your side.

πŸ† Win the Listing Before the Appointment β€” 10 First-Impression Habits That Close More Sellers

1️⃣ Show Up Early (Not Just On Time) ⏰

Arriving 10–15 minutes early signals reliability, respect, and intentionality. Sellers notice this immediately.

Use those minutes to breathe, gather your materials, visualize a flawless appointment, and get centered. People form impressions within seven seconds β€” punctuality is one of the fastest ways to telegraph professionalism.

Pro Tip: Visualize the appointment going perfectly. Energy follows intention.

2️⃣ Park Like a Pro πŸš—

Never park in the driveway, in the garage, or blocking pathways. Leave the space clear for their use β€” it’s respectful and subtly communicates that this appointment is about their home, not about you.

Thoughtful parking = instant professionalism.

3️⃣ Master the Handshake 🀝

Your handshake delivers a message before you speak. Aim for firm (not crushing) and warm (not limp), plus direct eye contact.

It communicates confidence, approachability, and trustworthiness in a single gesture.

Pro Script:
β€œMr./Mrs. Seller, before I even step into your home, I want you to know I’m 100% committed to getting your home sold for the most money in the least amount of time. It’s great to meet you.”

4️⃣ Respect Their Space 🏠

Follow their lead. If there’s a shoe rack, remove your shoes. If unsure, ask politely.

These small courtesies say I pay attention. I care about details. I respect your home.
And yes β€” make sure your socks, pedicure, or footwear are presentation-ready.

5️⃣ Bring Positive Energy 🌞

You’re entering their personal space. Arrive with warmth, confidence, and genuine interest.

Even if the home needs work, highlight something positive β€” the natural light, the location, the layout, the yard. Sellers want to feel seen and appreciated.

Pro Tip: Don’t give them a laundry list of flaws. You can talk yourself right out of the listing.

6️⃣ Don’t Assume the β€œHead of the Table” πŸͺ‘

Ask where they prefer to sit. This shows respect and creates comfort.

Ironically, by not grabbing control immediately, you often gain it β€” through professionalism, rapport, and natural leadership.

7️⃣ Accept Hospitality Graciously πŸͺ

If they offer cookies, coffee, or water: say yes. This is not about the snack; it’s about connection.

They prepped their home for you. Accepting their gesture acknowledges that effort and strengthens rapport.

8️⃣ Send a Handwritten Thank-You Note βœ‰οΈ

It’s old-school because it works. Whether you win the listing or not, send a handwritten thank-you afterward.

This tiny act sets you apart in a sea of digital agents and shows real gratitude.

Pro Tip: Keep high-quality note cards in your car and write the note immediately after the appointment.

9️⃣ Stay Out of Politics 🚫

No politics. No controversies. No exceptions. You’re Switzerland.

Stay professional, neutral, and focused on what matters: their goals, the market, and your plan to help them.

Remember: you’re a β€œRepubliCrat.” Stay out of the danger zone.

πŸ”Ÿ Dress One Level Up πŸ‘”

Dress one notch above your client. Clean, sharp, and intentional beats flashy or over-the-top.

Everything counts β€” your pen, your shoes, your nails, your watch, your laptop, your phone. And yes, if your device is cracked or prehistoric… upgrade it.

As we teach in Harris Rules: Upgrade everything. You’ll rise to match your appearance.

βœ… Turn This Into Your Pre-Appointment Power Checklist

Print it. Tape it to your wall. Review it before every appointment.

Stacking these habits sends one unmistakable message: β€œThis is the professional I trust to sell my home.”

🧠 Conclusion: Preparation Is Persuasion

Winning the listing isn’t about luck β€” it’s about mastering the micro-moments that build trust long before the formal presentation begins.

Sellers choose emotionally first and logically second. These ten habits quietly build emotional equity before you ever open your laptop.

If you want to dominate listing appointments, commit to mastering the details. The agents who prepare consistently… win consistently.

And remember the 7P’s of Real Estate:
Proper Previous Planning Prevents Pitifully Poor Performance.

πŸ“œ The Filibuster: Why It Exists, Why It Keeps Housing Stuck, and Why Many Believe It’s Time for It to Go

Most Americans think Congress needs 51 votes to pass a law.
But thanks to the filibusterβ€”an accidental Senate rule from 1806β€”most housing, zoning, and mortgage reforms actually need 60 votes.

That one rule is the single biggest reason Washington talks endlessly about fixing housing, but rarely does anything meaningful.

This is the concise breakdown for agentsβ€”and why many believe it’s time to get rid of the filibuster entirely.
