322: Buyer Boundaries: How to Deal with Looky Loos

Ever found yourself halfway through a showing thinking, "This buyer has no intention of buying anything"?

You, my friend, have met the infamous looky loo. They're curious, they're charming, and they are a black hole of time, gas money, and sanity, unless you have boundaries.

In this episode, we're going deep into how to manage the buyers who just want to look; the ones who text at 9pm with Zillow links, or who take seven years to finally make a purchase. We're sharing real stories (some wild ones), actionable strategies, and a whole lot of permission to run your business like a business.

If you've ever thought, "I don't want to lose the deal," but also "I might lose my mind," this one's for you.

 

Here's what we cover in this episode:

• What makes someone a looky loo and how to spot them early

• How to set clear boundaries and expectations without guilt

• The difference between being helpful and being used

• When to quiet quit on a buyer (and how to do it professionally)

• Scripts to help you say what needs to be said, kindly but firmly

• How to qualify casual buyers without scaring them off

• How buyer behavior impacts your time, business, and mental load
