Psychology of motivation and persuasion in real estate selling pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載2025

Because psychology is the study of human behavior, isn t it

logical to apply such a study to a business that is so dependent on the

vagaries of human behavior?

Actually, the successful selling of real estate is not as much

concerned with the physical aspects of real property as it is with the

actions and reactions of the people with whom you are dealing. Their

dreams, desires, goals and motives are much more important to

understand than the pragmatic details of real estate. Hence a book on

motivation and persuasion can be of considerable value to you to help

you understand your clients in your everyday negotiations.

Motivation may be defined as "the reasons why a person does

something or does not do something." If a person is motivated to do

something, it may be termed positive motivation. If he is motivated

not to do something, we call it negative motivation. Most people are

inclined not to do anything when presented with a proposal. That s

the line of least resistance. It avoids having to make a decision. It

avoids having to exert one s mental apparatus. It avoids taking the

chance of" being wrong.

If you are to change a prospect s thinking from a negative

motivation (not to take any action) to a positive one (to do what you

want them to do), you need some sort of a tool to help you. That tool is

called persuasion.

But there is also a third force that enters into the business of

selling and that is the degree of force in your own motivhtional

makeup. Without sufficient motivation on your part, no amount of

information 1 can give you to help you understand your buyers and

sellers better will be of much help unless you .feel compelled to put it

to good use.

This book is divided into three parts. The first part is about

sellers--what motivates sellers, where you can find motivated sellers,

and what to do with them after you find them.
