🧰 Before you start

🪜 Steps (tick as you go)

  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 emailOptional extra

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

💬 Prompts to copy

💬 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.
