In business, meeting a customer’s objection with the right response can make or break the sale. We asked our clients recently to give us the best responses they have ever used, or heard other agents use in response to a customer’s objection. Some of the answers are funny and meant to be tongue-in-cheek. Here is the top 10. Enjoy!

#10 - Customer: This house has a one car garage. We need two.

Agent: I’ve seen your cars. I think both will fit.

#9 - Customer: This house has bad Feng Shui.

Agent: I know. I smell it too.

#8 - Customer: We love the house, but feel it’s overpriced by at least $50,000.

Agent: If you love it, you should buy it today. Tomorrow it could overpriced by $75,000.

#7 - Customer: If we buy this house, we’ll have no money left to cover moving expenses.

Agent: If you buy this house, I will pay for your move. I’ll even lift something heavy.

#6 - Customer: Maybe if we get a good night’s rest and sleep on it, we can make a decision in the morning.

Agent: Good idea. I recommend a bottle of wine and two Ambien!

#5 - Customer: This subdivision does not have its own community pool.

Agent: No. But my understanding is the Branson’s up the street let everyone use theirs.

#4 - Customer: We have heard this area has a high crime rate. Is that true?

Agent: Yes, but the windows and doors are barred and incapable of fragmenting or metallurgical separation.

#3 - Customer: I thought this house had four bathrooms. I only count three.

Agent: I see that too. Perhaps they included the pool.

#2 - Customer: What a sweet little dog.

Agent: I’ll see if we can get it thrown in.

#1 - Customer: Sign back the offer at our original, full asking price.

Agent: Sorry. My pen just ran out of ink.
