Key Takeaways:
- Look beyond the property to understand the larger situation a family is trying to resolve.
- Ask questions that uncover actual needs rather than assuming every prospect wants to sell immediately.
- Develop professional resources that help solve problems outside your own expertise.
- Use multiple prospecting and marketing channels to remain visible throughout a life transition.
- Being resourceful can create opportunities that a transaction-first approach would miss.
- Position yourself as someone who can help coordinate solutions, not merely buy or list a house.
