Hi BP Community!
I was able to get a lead to answer their phone, finally! When I ask them questions about their interests and what they are looking for, they are extremely specific and do not have much wiggle room. How do you get buyers to become interested in areas that are outside of their desired locations? It is a bit difficult to find what they are looking for when they are set on a specific price and area.

You have to be fully transparent and inform them what their budget will and won't afford them in their desired area. The job of the realtor is to act in the best interests of the client, but also present realistic expectations based on current market conditions. Make sure they are aware of the difficulty you are having searching for properteis and be prepared to explain exactly what is making the search difficult so they can better understand what it is you are trying to do to help overcome that obstacle.
