How to Ak Price Questions, What to Listen For, and Why Every Answer Matters- By Brett Iwanowicz

1. INTRO (30–45 seconds)

  • Quick hook: “Most investors lose deals because they mishandle the price conversation.”
  • What listeners will learn: how to ask price, why it matters, and what seller answers really mean.

2. WHY PRICE MATTERS (1–2 minutes)

Key points:

  • Price reveals motivation, trust, seriousness, and whether a deal is real.
  • Sellers anchor high to protect themselves.
  • Your job isn’t to fight the number — it’s to understand it.
  • Wrong answers still give you what you need.

3. THE OPENING PRICE QUESTION (1 minute)

Your main opener:
 “Based on the condition and what you're trying to accomplish… is there a number that gets you excited to move forward?”

Why it works:

  • Low pressure
  • Builds trust
  • Tells you exactly where they are in their sales journey

4. CLARIFYING THEIR NUMBER (1–2 minutes)

Use questions like:

  • “How did you land on that number?”
  • “Is that before or after repairs?”

Why it matters:

  • Shows whether their price is emotional, uninformed, or realistic.

5. VALIDATION BEFORE REALITY (1 minute)

Lines:

  • “Totally get why you’d want that.”
  • “Makes sense why that number came to mind.”

Purpose: creates safety so they stay open to the truth.

6. TYING PRICE TO MOTIVATION (1–2 minutes)

Questions:

  • “If solving this quickly is the priority, does the price adjust?”
  • “What’s more important — the number or the relief?”

Purpose:

  • Shifts them from “ideal price” to “realistic price.”

7. BRIDGING THE PRICE GAP (2 minutes)

Tools:

  • Use ranges
  • Let silence talk
  • “Homes in this condition usually trade in the ___ to ___ range.”

Why it works:

  • Resets expectations without arguing.
  • Prepares them for your actual offer.

8. CLOSING ON PRICE (1 minute)

Final qualifiers:

  • “If we agreed on a price, would you be ready to move forward?”
  • “Anyone else involved in the decision?”

Purpose:

  • Prevents surprises
  • Surfaces hidden objections early

9. OUTRO (30 seconds)

  • Recap: ask the right questions, listen for what matters, and use motivation to bridge the price gap.
  • Close: “Master price, and you’ll master acquisitions.”
