Most real estate agents struggle with one critical skill: asking for the order and moving clients to the next step. Whether it’s getting a buyer to sign an agreement, helping a seller accept an offer, or navigating tough inspection negotiations—bottlenecks can cost you deals.

In this video, I share three documented closing techniques I’ve personally used to consistently guide clients forward:

* The Takeaway Close – remove pressure and build trust.

* The Alternative Choice Close – protect your calendar and take control of scheduling.

* The Options Close (131 Strategy) – give clients clear, confident paths without boxing them in.

Plus, I reveal a bonus close you can use immediately at listing or buyer appointments.

If you want to build confidence, eliminate commission breath, and become a true trusted advisor, these strategies will help you close more deals, retain more clients, and run a stronger business.
