Informed Seller Package 2010
Thank you for allowing us to introduce ourselves and the Real Pro Success team. The information provided in this package will help you successfully acquire more listings.
Not all agents are the same, but the prospective client you are about to meet with doesn’t really know that. Sending them this package in advance of your meeting with them will immediately differentiate you from your competition because so few realtors do this.
The main purpose of this package is to EDUCATE and PREPARE them for the journey they are about to embark on. When prepared correctly it will help rid any reservations they have about hiring you or about the entire process altogether. After reading through it they will know who you are, what makes you most qualified to sell their home, and what they can expect throughout the entire process.
Now, for the purpose of creating this sample for you we make reference to our company Real Pro Success in order to illustrate how certain sections should appear and what the content should look like. However, when you are creating your package you will use your name or the name of your team instead when making these same references.
We hope that you find this prepared seller package useful and thank you for the opportunity to serve you and your listing needs.
Sincerely,
The Real Pro Success Team

These stats obviously hint toward a positive relationship showing that agents doing more deals than the average are choosing to use Pro Presenter, or that agents choosing to use Pro Presenter end up doing more deals on average. Either way you look at it, not all agents are the same and those capturing a larger market share are most likely using Pro Presenter.

TESTIMONIALS
“I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed listening to Chris’s seminar this morning. Historically, my attention span is very limited but I was wonderfully entertained but at the same time given some incredible facts, figures and other useful information that will make a difference to my business. I loved his voice, it was full of enthusiasm without the gooey-gush (not found in Webster’s’) of most seminar presenters. I think he displayed the usefulness of the product in a precise and timely matter.
Again, I just wanted you to be aware of how enjoyable and interesting it was to be at Chris’s seminar.”
Karen Millar, Broker #1 Agent at Royal LePage Signature Realty Toronto, ON www.karenmillar.com
"As much as we train our agents and have many tools and resources we make available to them we always appreciate someone else coming in (a third party) to speak to them. Chris did a great job, he's an excellent speaker and the feedback from my agents was very positive. When one of our top 3 producers in my office bought Pro Presenter I knew that it is something of value and that every agent should see it. Actually all of the agents in my office that purchased Pro Presenter are top producers in the top 10 percent of the company and industry" Giuditta Costanzo Broker/Owner at Re/Max Excellence Realty Inc. Vaughan, ON www.remaxexcellencerealty.com "I didn't have any concerns about having Chris come speak to our agents. I've met Chris before and seen him speak more than once and he's an excellent speaker and every time we've had him into our office to speak to our agents he's always done a great job. I was impressed by how well organized the listing presentation was in the sense that it strategically anticipated the questions/objections a client would raise and pro-actively addressed each one of them.
