There's a lot of buzz these days about "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques." What did CIA operatives do to get confessions and information from our terrorist enemies? What members of Congress knew about it?
Well, I'm not a member of the CIA (and if I were, do you think I'd tell you?), but I am a CRS -- a Certified Residential Specialist. So, today we're going to discuss...
Enhanced Interrogation Techniques for Real Estate.
The first vision that came to my mind upon hearing the phrase "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques" is the classic scene in the movie "Back to School" where Sam Kinison as history Professor Turguson attempts to get an answer from his students. Enjoy:
In real estate, whether you are buying or selling a home, the process is simple. You tell me what you want. What are your goals? What type of home are you looking to buy? Where do you want to live? How much do you want to spend on fixing up little problems around your house? When do you want to sell? How much money are you trying to walk away with? Do you like the home? What's wrong with the house? Etc. etc.
We're on the same team. We're not enemy combatants.
No Enhanced Interrogation Techniques are necessary in real estate.
Just tell me what you want and I'll help you get there.

Sam Kinison in a classic example of losing it. We need answers and how we get them can be a movie unto itself...
Brian,
There are more serious 'Enhanced Interrogation Techniques' employed in real estate sales than were used when dealing with terrorists...!!! Thanks, Fran
Hi Brian, Just stopped by to say hi. Thanks for the thoughtful but amusing post!
Every once in awhile a society needs a little Sam Kinison.

An obvious terrorist mentality.
Brian,
Really clever and love the YouTube clip.....that is a trip back in time. And no real estate professionals and consumers were meant to walk the same line.
Sometimes the first "sale" the agent needs to make is to convince the buyer that they're on the same team.
