I'd think a good way to un-motivate someone would be to make them listen to some recording, if you had an ad and I called and got a recording, I'd hang up, if you answered my call you can tell in two minutes (or should be able to) if I'm interested and a probable buyer.

An example would be adding a new bathroom and get the house reappraised.
