5 Clever Comebacks To Use When Someone Tells You They "Know A Realtor"

Has anyone ever said to you, “I know a realtor!”?

“My friend is a realtor!”

“My wife’s cousin is a realtor!”

“Somebody I went to high school with, that I haven’t talked to in 20 years- is a realtor.”

I get it. Everyone knows someone who is a realtor.

So here’s the challenge: How can you get them to work with YOU, instead of their “friend”?

Here are 5 clever comebacks to use when someone says they know a realtor.

  1. I’m happy to work with them, and even happy to pay them a referral fee! 
  2. Are you comfortable sharing your finances with your friends?
  3. Would you be open to a second opinion? Can’t hurt, right?
  4. Do you feel that your friend has a good pulse on the market?
  5. Trust your gut. I want what’s best for you- and the last thing you want is to have any reservations about your friends or family members to impact such a big commitment in your life.

The key with these questions and rebuttals is to remind your prospect that sometimes, business with family and friends does not mix well - and does not end well.

Remember: Working with someone more SKILLED is greater than just a pure relationship.
