Ed Lane led a focused training on motivating buyers during the slower December season, emphasizing the importance of creating urgency, addressing objections early, and offering unique incentives such as stronger negotiation opportunities and reduced competition. He highlighted the value of pre-approvals and off-market access as key differentiators for agents, and encouraged attendees to leverage educational buyer-presentation videos and his custom GPT tool for scripts. Ed also covered strategies for re-engaging silent buyers using patient, empathetic follow-ups and escalating communication touches. He noted that current market conditions make it a genuinely strong time to buy, with motivated sellers and potential equity upside. Ed closed by explaining his proven January 22nd relisting strategy for sellers who prefer to wait until after the New Year, ensuring listings capture peak post-holiday buyer activity.
