Practise a tough listing appointment with AI playing a doubtful home seller

Before a listing appointment, you ask ChatGPT or Claude to play a sceptical home seller who has met two other agents, one cheaper, and thinks the home is worth more than your price check says. It pushes back one question at a time, then after six rounds scores your answers and tells you what to say instead.

🎯 What you'll have at the endYou'll have practised your toughest listing conversation and have a scorecard of what to say better, before you meet the real seller.

👀 What you'll get

Example

Here's the kind of thing you'll have at the end:

📊 ReportPractice scorecard · 3-bed terrace, Taman Seri

What landed

  • You showed three nearby sales from the last six months. Clear and calm.
  • You explained what the fee pays for: photos, viewings, weekly updates.

What sounded defensive

  • 'The other agent doesn't know this area.' It sounds like an attack.
  • You dropped your fee before I asked twice.

Say this instead

  • 'Pricing at MYR 620,000 gets more viewings in the first two weeks. If offers come in strong, we review together.'
  • 'Here's what you get for my fee, week by week.'

🧪 Made-up sample to show the kind of result. Your output will vary.

🧾 Which plan do I need?

✅ Free for you

The free ChatGPT or Claude plan is enough for practice rounds.

🪙 Small = up to MYR 250 a month more · 💎 Big = over MYR 250 a month more · prices from each provider's pricing page, checked 21 Oct 2026.
ℹ️ How we work this outPrices come from each provider's own pricing page (checked 21 Oct 2026; amounts exclude tax; USD 1 = MYR 4.08, Bank Negara Malaysia 19 Oct 2026). Small upgrade = up to MYR 250 a month more than you pay now. Big upgrade = more than MYR 250 a month more. Check pricing = the provider doesn't publish a price we could confirm. Each guide's needs come from its own "What will this really cost me?" box. Your ticks stay in this browser only (no account, nothing sent to us).

✅ 0 of 7 steps done 📄 Printable page
  1. 1
    ☐

    Open a new chat

    Open ChatGPT or Claude (buttons below) and start a new chat so old chats don't mix in.

  2. 2
    ☐

    Fill in the practice prompt

    Copy the 'Doubtful seller' prompt below. Fill in the price the seller hopes for, your own price range, and the lower fee the other agent offered.

  3. 3
    ☐

    Answer one question at a time

    Reply as you would at the kitchen table. The AI asks one tough question, waits for your answer and pushes back like a real seller.

  4. 4
    ☐

    Try it out loud

    Use the app's voice mode if you can. Saying answers out loud is closer to the real meeting than typing them.

  5. 5
    ☐

    Read the scorecard

    After six exchanges it stops and tells you what landed, what sounded defensive and what to say instead. Copy the best lines into your notes.

  6. 6
    ☐

    Run it again with a twist

    Change one thing (a seller in a hurry, a seller who's been let down before) and practise again until the answers feel natural.

  7. 7
    ☐

    Optional: draft the timeline email

    Use the 'Seller timeline email' prompt to draft the email that explains next steps after the seller signs.

💬 Copy-paste prompts

Tap Copy prompt, paste it into your AI (Grok, ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini), then replace the [yellow bits] with your own details.

💬 Doubtful seller
Act as a sceptical home seller interviewing me to sell your home at [address or type of home, area].
You've already talked to two other agents. One offered a lower fee of [other agent's fee]. You think the home is worth [seller's price], but my price check says [my range], based on [2-3 recent comparable sales].
Push back hard but realistically, about my fee, my price, how I'll market it and why you should pick me.
Ask one question at a time and wait for my answer.
After six exchanges, stop and score my answers: what landed, what sounded defensive, and exactly what I should say instead. Be honest, not polite.
💬 Seller timeline email (optional)
My seller signed the listing agreement on [date]. Key dates: [photos, first viewings, open house, review of offers, any others]. Write a friendly email to [seller's first name] that lists each date in order, explains in one sentence what happens at each step and what (if anything) they need to do, and ends with my contact details. Format the dates so they're easy to read on a phone. Don't promise a sale price or a sale date.

⚠️ Tips & common mistakes

🌟 Why it's worth it

💡 Why it mattersMost agents only practise objections in the car on the way to the appointment. A patient, tough practice partner means you walk in with tested answers on fees and price, which is where listings are won or lost.
🏷️ Real exampleMaryland agent David Stroh (Remax Plus) shared this as one of five prompts he uses every week, in Inman on 21 Oct 2026. The seller has already met two agents, one offered a lower fee, and believes the home is worth more than the agent's market analysis says; after six exchanges the AI stops and scores what landed, what sounded defensive and what to say instead.
