LISTING LAUNCH PLAYBOOK

Discover priorities before discussing price.

What would make this sale feel successful to you?

Price, timeline, next move, certainty, convenience and tradeoffs.

Ask and listen; reflect back their priority.

Opening the report or making a price promise first.

Explain the personalized market analysis immediately after Goals.

I prepared this around your home and the options buyers have today.

Which comparables feel most relevant and what assumptions worry them.

Display only the verified, current property-matched MLS PDF and summary.

Presenting stale data, another property or an unsupported online estimate.

Explain service standards through the seller’s concerns.

We prepare the work, communicate what is happening and remain accountable to closing.

Communication concerns, fear of delays, past agent experiences.

Tie the team promise to goals; keep the story brief.

Lengthy company history detached from their needs.

Use competitive evidence to recommend market positioning.

Let’s compare what buyers can choose today.

Seller’s price anchor, condition issues, competing homes, concessions.

Open MLS; show sales, pending, active competition and the recommended position.

Arguing, inventing comps or relying solely on $/sq ft.

Connect the home’s preparation needs to the seller’s budget and timeline before discussing a loan.

Let’s decide what your home needs first. Then we can compare paying directly, a smaller scope, or optional Market Ready financing.

Cash constraints, willingness to do work, contractor timing, repayment questions, and a preference to sell as-is.

Explain the overview and illustrative paint/repair, budget, and staging plan. State that this is a loan with interest and fees, subject to lender approval. Keep repayment information visible: the page lists the earliest of closing, listing termination, loan acceleration, or 12 months after origination; any extension requires lender agreement. Confirm the current terms with Notable. Open the five-step process or FAQs as needed; use “View program + application” only when the seller wants to explore it. Frontline shapes the sale plan; Notable handles financing.

Calling it free money, promising approval or value gains, or implying repayment happens only if the home sells. Review the current lender terms and the seller’s actual loan offer.

Show how a coordinated launch creates buyer understanding and clear actions.

Each stage has a job—from choosing a competitive position to managing response.

Concerns about preparation, costs, media and communication.

Select the elements that answer their concerns; verify current service plan.

Implying every property receives identical optional services.

Demonstrate real Ohio property media and attention to detail.

Instead of telling you about production quality, let me show a short example.

Buyers’ perspective, seller excitement, concerns about quality.

Show a brief film example, then play the embedded 620 High St NE drone video to demonstrate room connections. Use volume/fullscreen as needed. On mobile, the player appears before the benefits. Pause before discussing; appointment-stage navigation also pauses it.

Requiring Instagram, claiming every example is the same property, playing the full 90 seconds by default, or promising a sale result.

Support experience with accurate attribution and verifiable history.

This result reflects Jared’s work at his prior team—not a Frontline company sale.

How example relates to the seller and whether they want recent comparable context.

Explain the $585,000 asking price, $611,000 closed price and $26,000 difference with the prior-team attribution. The page omits sale dates; describe this as a past result, not a recent Frontline company sale. Results vary.

Passing off a historic prior-team sale as Frontline company production.

Demonstrate virtual layout comprehension using a separately labeled example.

Here is how a buyer can explore the layout before scheduling a tour.

Interest in remote buyers, room flow and digital marketing.

Say it is a separate property; let seller explore briefly.

Implying the 3D tour is the same Ohio filmed property.

Explain Frontline’s paid Homes.com investment beyond basic listing exposure.

We invest in paid Homes.com advertising. Eligible search placement helps buyers discover the listing, and retargeting can bring it back into view as they browse elsewhere.

Questions about reach, specific platforms, who pays, reporting, and how activity connects to inquiries.

Walk through Discover → Reconnect → Review. Explain the CNN and other logos as network examples from Homes.com’s presentation. Confirm the active package and listing eligibility. Show the linked 300 Pathfinder Dr report only as a different property’s example; discuss available views, engagement, inquiries and showing feedback.

Guaranteeing a CNN placement, impressions, leads, sale price or timeline; implying platform endorsement; or presenting another listing’s report as this seller’s results.

Show what the launch team does before and after listing activation.

Going live starts the active-management phase.

Launch timing, showing restrictions, move schedules.

Explain prelaunch, launch day, first 72 hours, week one and ongoing decisions.

Treating MLS publication as the entire marketing plan.

Connect activity and feedback to recommendations and communication cadence.

Here is what we watch and how we turn it into next steps.

How often the seller wants updates and what worries them.

Confirm preferred channel and cadence; state what can be controlled.

Guaranteeing showings, offers or days on market.

Compare a complete coordinated process with baseline listing exposure.

Our difference is how we prepare, launch, monitor and communicate.

Which service gap matters most to this seller.

Show the system and expectations without belittling competitors.

Claiming every other agent offers no real service.

Earn confidence through clear, measurable operating commitments.

We will prepare, communicate, recommend and stay accountable.

Unresolved trust or communication concerns.

Slow down; ask what would increase confidence.

Promising exact sale price or buyer response.

Confirm the next action once the seller is ready.

Does this launch plan match what you want for your home?

A clear yes, a specific objection or an agreed next step.

Confirm price/timing, plan/terms, and preparation. Select “Review our launch plan together” to expand the six-item discussion checklist; review service notes when relevant. Verify brokerage forms, open Dotloop sign-in, and manually record the Planner follow-up.

Assuming the website creates an agreement, signs forms or saves a CRM task.
