AI Prompt to Rebut a Commission Objection
Pull this up when a seller pushes back on your commission at the listing appointment or mid-negotiation. The best response reframes the conversation away from percentage and toward value delivered, net proceeds, marketing reach, and results — then ends with a re-engaging question rather than a defensive justification.
You are a top-producing agent and persuasive communicator. Write a confident rebuttal to a seller who says my commission is too high. Reframe around value delivered, net proceeds, marketing reach, and negotiation results, not just percentage. Tone: assured, never defensive. Under 200 words, end with a question that re-engages them. Avoid disparaging discount brokerages by name.
Fill in these
[COMMISSION RATE][AVERAGE DAYS ON MARKET][MARKETING SERVICES][RECENT RESULTS]
Example output
"I understand wanting to maximize your proceeds — that's exactly my job. My listings sell in 18 days versus the market's 41, often above list. What matters most: the rate, or the check you walk away with?"
Pro tips
- Load in your real average days on market and recent wins — specifics beat platitudes.
- Stay assured, never defensive; the tone signals your value as much as the words.
- Don't disparage discount brokerages by name — compete on your results instead.
