Another objection that you might hear is the length of listing objection. Before answering this objection, you must know that six-month listings are more profitable than 90-day listings, and one-year listings are more profitable than six-month listings. I can remember many instances when a property sold in the eleventh month of a twelve month listing.

In a market that is going down, motivated sellers will drop their prices. The ones who are not motivated will seek to blame the lack of sales progress on you and will want to move to another agent. Having a one-year listing eliminates this discussion.

It will then become incumbent upon you to keep the seller happy with information and progress reports. You have to get the listing in the first place to make any of this happen! Many times though, as you are going for a one-year listing and you need to quiet the length of listing objection, you are going to have to offer some sort of an exit guarantee that is included in this document below (and would be included in your listing presentation).

The easy exit guarantee document simply shows the seller that you are confident in the services and promises that you have made, and you will only ask for a simple reimbursement of a small portion of the overhead that you spent on the listing, which is referred to the as the “MLS Submission Fee Reimbursement.”

This would be the reimbursement for the time spent in producing the CMA, the presentation, and the activities done early in the promotion. This document also asks them to not sell to anyone who was shown the property during the listing period unless you are representing them with a payable commission.

This cancellation would be handled with the MLS form that provides for the cancellation of the listing. The “easy exit” goes a long way in eliminating any fears of someone signing a lengthy contract. If you believe that you can trust your sellers and want to offer an easy exit guarantee or performance with fewer strings, then this might be your choice.

The important part of overcoming this objection is giving them a listing presentation that is full of value. I have this document and LOADS more in our listing presentation system, which would overwhelm your sellers with value.

Offering all this value costs time. The seller should be made aware that this is a commissioned business, and you are offering all this work up front with the expectation of a remuneration down the road. The shorter time will limit the potential for profit down the road.

Again, if this argument cannot be properly made or the seller is stubborn, I have found the easy exit guarantee solved the problem.
