Key Takeaways:

"Is this truly a need, or a strong want and desire? Let's get as close to that as possible."

"If we're stuck in the need conversation, it becomes absolute. It's hard to change a perspective when it's 'I need this' versus 'I want this.'"

"A buyer does not care what you need for whatever it is you're trying to sell. Never have, never will."

"We cannot necessarily change the opinions of others. They have to do that for themselves."

"When you can find the root of what's going on, there's a discomfort causing them to want to make this sell."

"If it's priced right and presented right, it's selling. Every agent I've talked to says the same."
