It varies, Dorie. 

Depends on the client & circumstances.

One: when military or rapid personality or the close is obviously in hand in that moment. I have signed many Listing Agreements in the middle of my presentation. RULE#1 "when they are giving you the signal, shut up and sign."

Two: when they are old school and or less rapid and need to feel more of a process to nurture their decision making process.

It's gut instinct, not often planned; but I go  prepared for either.

Its a lot like cooking something. Lots of prep and then the final act!

I do the listing presentation is a one step appointment.    When they are ready, I go back and measure. 

It depends upon the home owner and the situation but usually a two step. 

Typically two but always ready the first time.

Both, but mostl 2 step. Sometimes sellers have other appointments, or they want to discuss it among themselves without feeling pressured.

I am like Joan Cox. I have a blank form I fill out and leave with sellers asking them to get back with me.

I prefer to see the house before I do a market analysis on it.  So that would be a two step. 

Two step

most of the agents in our area do a two step presentation....homeowners expect it now and deserve it.... and we always do it that way....

It depends upon the circumstances.  Usually one-step.

I prfer a one-step, but often if the seller wants to shop agents, it does require more steps.

Mine is almost always one step the same as Dorie Dillard .  Sellers call me and ask if I would consider listing their home for sale, not the other way around.  I have developed the reputation of being quite selective with whom I represent.

Two step. First to see the property in person to evaluate myself then return with all my findings, comps and ammo!

Dorie Dillard I do a two step listing appointment procedure. One, by sending a proposal. Two, with a face-to-face listing appointment.

Dorie, I prefer the one step, but sometimes I need to take the two step approach!

Good morning Dorie. I can't get over how different the listing process ois these day. When I was in the business, I just went to get the listing. I don't recall too many that I didn't get.

Make it a great week!

All my listing appointments are one step... I leave the two-step for the dance floor! 

In my mind, if you don't walk out of the appointment with a signed contract, someone else will.  That's why I don't do a two parter.

depends on the client.  Sometimes one, sometimes two.

Dorie,

We had a three step model as part of the training we did for our agents.  We usually got the listing in one step, once we established ourselves.  A

Typically a 2 step as it leaves me some wiggle room to fine tune the price range after I have carefully analyzed the sold market. I promise to get back within a very short time frame though.

One, and make adjustment on the spot if need be.

Depending on the property I have done a 3 step

I would always prefer a one step listing. But I think it depends upon how many other agents the seller is interviewing, and where you fall in that sequence. There are analytic type personalities who always want to think things over, and I think it's important to provide the space for that to occur.

Try to go for 1 step, but sometimes it turns into 2 steps. I always hope step 2 is coming back to take pictures and not a finalize the contract day.

It depends on each circumstance. But most of the time, it is a two step process for me.

I try for a one step Dorie but if needed I will come back. I like to close on them right away but are not pushy if people want to hold off.

Dorie,
Two step because I take my stager on the first trip, we explain things and then go back a second time to finalize and sign.

I do both, Dorie.  It depends on the home and how the seller contacted me.  For a strong past referral without much competition it's a one step.  Where it's a higher end listing and I'm up against others it's typically a two step.

Dorie Dillard most of the time it is two-steps (the second step being signing documents online) so technically, it's just one step (for presentation/meeting/appointment.)

In some cases when I work by referral, its perhaps ZERO step only....and I love those 'Come List Me' calls!

I have a one step appointment 

2 step

It depends. Sometimes when it's a custom home where I need to do research, I'll go by first and then present another day. 

One step.  

I prefer a one step.

Dorie generally one step, but there are times when I have to say OK I will be back....Endre

Most of the time it's a two step process Dorie Dillard 

Great question!

When we can, we like to do a two step.  

1.  Meet the sellers, walk through, and then go through our listing appointment.

2.  Come back with our professional photographer, do all paperwork, and get it listed.  

If somebody is in a super rush we can condense it into one appointment.
