		<description><![CDATA[(This question was sent in by J.S. in Key Largo) Answer: For the most part the process for working Expireds is very similar to working with FSBOs; first you should build rapport with them followed by helping them discover a problem and then leveraging your solution to get a sit down with them.

		<description><![CDATA[Answer: I&#8217;d recommend that instead of becoming defensive and telling them how much you DESERVE what you charge, understand that homeowners care more about their finances than yours. The only reason they&#8217;d ever ask you to CUT your commission is because the BELIEVE by doing so they&#8217;ll come out better off financially. However, if they [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=scotscourses.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1815924&amp;post=98&amp;subd=scotscourses&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
