Ever meet someone so smart that you feel smarter just being in their presence?
That’s Chris Voss for me.
I’ve read his book, watched his videos, had him on my podcast, he’s spoken at our events… and I still can’t get enough of the guy!
So I asked him to return to the podcast and once again he had all the right answers to some of the burning questions in today’s real estate marketplace. Among the advice he shared:
- How to avoid cutting your commission
- How to make your buyers’ offers stand out in today’s competitive market
- How to overcome buyer fatigue
- Why “no” is better than “yes” and 5 easy phrases to flip your script
