Have you ever been to a salesperson who tried so hard to sound like an expert that it was almost laughable? Maybe you have even dealt with a few salespeople like this yourself. It’s likely that most of us have!

Real estate agents have to remember a lot of information, including the location of properties, their features and amenities, price ranges and more. Scripts can be used to help you remember all of this information by giving you a structure in which to organize your thoughts about each property.
Scripts are also useful when working with clients because they allow you to give them consistent answers no matter who is asking or what questions they ask; this will make them feel comfortable working with you as well as ensure that all parties involved understand each other’s needs clearly throughout negotiations. Finally, scripts can help real estate agents remember key questions (such as those related directly above) when meeting with potential sellers or buyers so that they don’t miss out on important details while talking through offers with these individuals

Scripts are not meant to be memorized word for word. You should be able to speak naturally and use your own words, but you should know what key points you want to make and how those points relate back to the buyer’s goals or needs.

If someone asks “How much does this place cost?” there are many ways that could be interpreted: they could mean “What is your house worth?”. Or they could mean “How much do I need in order buy this house?”. Or maybe even just “How much would it take me get out of debt?”. The point is that each question has different implications depending on how far down the rabbit hole we go with our answers (and some questions don’t even have answers).
