    The $23,000 Silent Treatment (Why Shutting Up Sells Houses)

    Most sellers think negotiation is about saying the perfect thing — but the fastest way to get a higher price is often saying nothing. In this episode, Tim shows how strategic silence creates productive pressure, prevents you from oversharing your timeline and motivation, and forces buyers to reveal what they actually care about. You’ll learn: Why “explaining your price” is the #1 way sellers lose leverageThe simple “offer received” script that buys you time and builds tensionHow silence makes buyers justify their own low offer (and what that tells you)The 3-step framework: acknowledge + pause, diagnose their response, counter with precisionThe qualifying question that breaks silence without giving away your powerHow to counter based on what the buyer reveals — not guessworkIf you’ve ever felt pressured to talk yourself into a worse deal, this episode teaches you how to stay calm, stay quiet, and let the buyer negotiate against themselves.

    Sell Without The Scams

    After our AI crunched thousands of home sales, one pricing strategy kept winning — and it feels totally backwards: price lower to sell for more.
