This prospect has shown interest in the property but is unsure if it aligns with their financial situation. Your objective here is to gather more details about their budget, help them feel comfortable discussing finances, and provide solutions or options if the property is out of reach. Additionally, you can offer to show them similar properties within their budget if the original one doesn’t match.
Prospect: "I'm curious about the property in the ad, but I'm not sure if it's within my budget."
You: "I completely understand—it’s really important to know whether a property fits within your financial plans before moving forward. Let me reassure you, there’s no pressure here. My goal is to help you explore options that are the right fit for your budget."
Prospect: "I’m not exactly sure about my budget, but I’m hoping to stay within a certain range."
You: "That’s completely understandable—figuring out your budget is an important step. If you’re comfortable sharing, what’s the range you’re hoping to stay within? Once I know that, I can either confirm whether this property works or show you some similar listings that match your budget."
Offer to provide a clear idea of whether the property fits within their budget, or offer to show them other options that may better match their financial situation. Reassure them that this is an informative, low-pressure conversation to help them explore what’s possible.
Example:
"Let’s do this—I can check whether this property fits within your range based on what you’re comfortable with. If it’s a little out of reach, I’ll also show you some similar properties that are well within your budget. Would that be helpful? We can chat more about your needs and how to make sure you find the right fit."
No Pressure: Reassure them that your goal is to help them find a property that fits within their budget, and there’s no commitment until they’re ready.
Flexibility: Let them know that even if this property doesn’t fit their budget, you have a range of similar properties that may be a better match, or that there may be negotiation flexibility on the price.
Budget Assistance: Offer assistance if they’re still working out their financing. You can help connect them with lenders or provide information on home loan options so they can figure out exactly what they can afford.
Alternative Options: If the original property is out of their budget, show them you’re ready to offer alternative listings that match their preferences and price range.
Informative Conversation: Stress that this is about gathering information and helping them explore their options, not about making a decision today.
