A MESSAGE FROM LIBERTAS GROUP
Harris Real Estate Daily
By Tim & Julie Harris Β· December 8, 2025
π Good evening, {{first_name| listing agents}}! Before a single comp is reviewed, before a marketing plan is shared, and long before commission is discussedβ¦ 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 youβre 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. ποΈ
The following ten habits are the ones top agents use to win the listing before the presentation even begins. Master these, and youβll walk into every appointment with momentum already on your side.

π Win the Listing Before the Appointment β 10 First-Impression Habits That Close More Sellers
1οΈβ£ Show Up Early (Not Just On Time) β°
Arriving 10β15 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.
2οΈβ£ Park Like a Pro π
Never park in the driveway, in the garage, or blocking pathways. Leave the space clear for their use β itβs respectful and subtly communicates that this appointment is about their home, not about you.
Thoughtful parking = instant professionalism.
3οΈβ£ Master the Handshake π€
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:
βMr./Mrs. Seller, before I even step into your home, I want you to know Iβm 100% committed to getting your home sold for the most money in the least amount of time. Itβs great to meet you.β
4οΈβ£ Respect Their Space π
Follow their lead. If thereβs 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.
5οΈβ£ Bring Positive Energy π
Youβre 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: Donβt give them a laundry list of flaws. You can talk yourself right out of the listing.
6οΈβ£ Donβt Assume the βHead of the Tableβ πͺ
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.

7οΈβ£ Accept Hospitality Graciously πͺ
If they offer cookies, coffee, or water: say yes. This is not about the snack; itβs about connection.
They prepped their home for you. Accepting their gesture acknowledges that effort and strengthens rapport.
8οΈβ£ Send a Handwritten Thank-You Note βοΈ
Itβs 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.
9οΈβ£ Stay Out of Politics π«
No politics. No controversies. No exceptions. Youβre Switzerland.
Stay professional, neutral, and focused on what matters: their goals, the market, and your plan to help them.
Remember: youβre a βRepubliCrat.β Stay out of the danger zone.
π Dress One Level Up π
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 prehistoricβ¦ upgrade it.
As we teach in Harris Rules: Upgrade everything. Youβll rise to match your appearance.
β 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: βThis is the professional I trust to sell my home.β
π§ Conclusion: Preparation Is Persuasion
Winning the listing isnβt about luck β itβs 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.

π The Filibuster: Why It Exists, Why It Keeps Housing Stuck, and Why Many Believe Itβs Time for It to Go
Most Americans think Congress needs 51 votes to pass a law.
But thanks to the filibusterβan accidental Senate rule from 1806βmost 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 agentsβand why many believe itβs time to get rid of the filibuster entirely.
