Sometimes it acts an opportunity to introduce myself or my service. Other times it serves as a confirmation about a decision. There can be multiple reasons yet it remains FREE from me.

I think Buyers see us as a free service anyway Richie Alan Naggar and I never charged for a listing interview so I think that's the same as a free estimate by Sellers.

My first meeting with a Buyer or Seller is to determine whether or not we can work together. After that, I am going to be paid a fee.

I don't like the people I've met that wear out the word 'free'. I do not use it in any of my marketing. No cost - no obligation never appear either.
I actually do not 'partake' of anything that says free.

It is free when we meet first time with the customers. As Fred said, after Yes or No. Listing agreement or buyer's agreement and start our agenda.

If I sense it is a non-sense I am quite busy. 60% of inquires after several session of giving away freebies, I realize people want something they can not have or exist. The worst case scenario you gave your self away for free they go to the listing agent direct and dump you.

I do provide them, Richie, especially to those thinking about selling. Never too early to "get into their heads." I don't necessarily advertise it a lot as everyone seems to do it. But when I have an opportunity to specifically over a no-cost, no-oblifation meeting in order to get face-to-face with someone, I do.

Richie Alan Naggar - my consultation - initial one - is always FREE! And at the end of it, we decide one of the three things --
1. Not to work together
2. Customer does not want to work with me and...
3. I do not want to work with this potential client.

I guess I don’t really understand your question, Richie Alan Naggar
I don’t get paid unless an escrow closes. Not charge for anything that leads up to closing. No close, no payment.

I use this time to also be determining if they will be horing an agent or going fsbo no matter what. I give enough info to show my expertise, but do not gove away the farm if they are not going to be hiring me. Omce they sign, they get the full service plus... I also am deciding if there home is something i can sell and are they sellers i can work with.

The past three years there has been a drum beat from the gurus suggesting agents are cheapening themselves by giving too much away.
An elevator speech and consultation are very different things.
By not basing ones business on FREE, they quality of their business can maintain integrity. For example, Everyone can use Active Rain for free. How's that working?
Requiring something (not free) of the student is the best predictor of their intent.
