The luxury market is largely insulated from economic shifts, so there has never been a better time to break into the space. But many agents often feel like the luxury market is high stakes, especially when they are faced with objections.
The only way to handle objections effectively is to prepare for them in advance. If we can go into appointments with sellers knowing how to respond, we can position ourselves as the obvious choice for the listing.
What are some of the common objections raised by sellers, and how can we respond to them?
On this episode, Founder and CEO of the Luxury Listing Specialist Designation (LUXE) and host of the Luxury Listing Specialist Podcast, Michael LaFido, returns to the show to discuss 3 common objections and how to handle them.
Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode
How to handle the experience objection
Agents new to the luxury market are often worried about being asked if they’ve sold a high-end property before. If not, the best response is to leverage agents in our networks who have sold luxury homes.
How to handle an objection about local knowledge
Often, sellers will ask agents if they’ve sold properties in their area before. If we aren’t local, it’s a good idea to have testimonials and past videos on hand to show the value we bring.
What we can do about price objections
When a seller has been given an unrealistic selling price by another agent, they’re likely to object to a lower suggestion from us. Combat this by asking the seller to have their home appraised.

Using YouTube to generate leads is a great business strategy, but a lot of agents don’t know where to get started with creating content, let alone take advantage of all the platform has to offer.
If we want our videos to bring us business, we have to ensure they’re being seen, and the best way to do that is by having our videos ranked.
How can we get our Youtube videos ranked? Are there any simple hacks we can use to make a name for ourselves on the platform? YouTube certainly puts a lot of hurdles out for content creators, so we have to ensure we’re using it the right way if we want to optimize our content.
On this episode, CEO of the YouTube Agents, Jackson Wilkey, returns to share the three top Youtube hacks to rank our videos.

In a world filled with so many notifications from multiple devices, it’s extremely easy to get distracted, but if we double down on our focus, we can maximize our productivity. How can we take control of our days and minimize distractions? Why is it so important to shift our mindset away from negativity and self-limiting beliefs? On this episode, COO and Head Coach at RealEstateCoach.com, Byron Van Arsdale, shares how to overcome distractions and maximize our results.
Takeaways + Tactics
Come at goals from a mindset of control. When we go into tasks believing we have full control of the situation and our focus levels, our chances of success skyrocket.
When aiming to take up something new, whether that be exercise or a new skill, start by doing one. By simply committing to one action, we get one step closer to reaching our goals, and it’s easier to take the second or third step.
We all have to eliminate the words ‘can’t’ or ‘won’t’ from our vocabularies and replace them with ‘I’m in the process of...’. Stop being the victim, start being the victor!

Staying in front of and in touch with our databases is vital to our survival in this business. We need to make sure our outbound communication is effective. It is important that we create engaging content which drives value to the audience.
How can we ensure our database stays engaged with our content?
Is there a way to keep offering people value even when they aren’t in the market to buy or sell?
On this episode, Founder of Real Estate Growth Hackers and the Local Celebrity Show system, Zach Hammer, returns to share how to communicate more effectively.
Takeaways + Tactics
When we have a ton of value to offer, it’s easy to want to send it all out, but to get a great response rate, we need to dangle the carrot.
When we have a low response rate, some email service providers will proactively hide our emails, even from those who do engage with us.
Offer content relevant to everyone in the database, including those not looking for a transaction now.
