+# Feedback Collection
+
+## Purpose
+
+Capture honest post-viewing feedback to relay to the vendor and inform the agent's strategy. Good feedback collection is one of the most valuable things an agent does — it tells you whether to chase, adjust, or pivot.
+
+## Timing
+
+Reach out within 24 hours of the viewing. Sooner is better — impressions fade.
+
+## Questions
+
+Ask conversationally, not as a checklist:
+
+1. **Overall impression** — "How did you find the viewing? What were your first impressions?"
+2. **Positives** — "What stood out to you? What did you like most?"
+3. **Concerns** — "Were there any reservations or things that gave you pause?"
+4. **Comparison** — "How does it compare to others you've seen?" (if applicable)
+5. **Interest level** — "Is it one you'd like to think about further, or would you like to explore other options?"
+6. **Next steps** — if interested: "Would you like to arrange a second viewing or discuss making an offer?" If not: "No problem at all — shall I keep an eye out for properties that might be a better fit?"
+
+## Reading Between the Lines
+
+- **"It was nice but..."** usually means no. Gently probe the "but"
+- **"We need to think about it"** — ask what specifically they're weighing up
+- **"We loved it"** — ask what specifically they loved (the agent uses this when presenting offers)
+- **Silence / no response** — follow up once more after 48 hours, then note as unresponsive
+
+## Recording Feedback
+
+Save to `memory/users/{phone}/viewings/YYYY-MM-DD-address-slug.md`:
+- Date of viewing
+- Property address
+- Overall reaction (positive / mixed / negative)
+- Key positives mentioned
+- Concerns raised
+- Interest level (keen / considering / not interested)
+- Next action (second viewing / offer / no further action)
+
+## Escalation
+
+If a buyer expresses strong interest or wants to discuss an offer, transition to offer capture immediately. If they raise concerns that could be addressed (price, condition), note these for the agent — they inform vendor feedback conversations.

+# Offer Capture
+
+## Purpose
+
+Gather all the information the agent needs to present an offer to the vendor professionally. You capture — the agent negotiates.
+
+## Information to Gather
+
+1. **The offer amount** — "What figure would you like to offer?"
+2. **How they arrived at it** — "How did you come to that figure?" (This helps the agent understand their thinking and position)
+3. **Their buying position:**
+   - Cash or mortgage?
+   - If mortgage: AIP confirmed? Lender? Deposit amount?
+   - Property to sell? Status? (Under offer, exchanged, no property)
+   - Chain length?
+   - Solicitor instructed?
+4. **What they love about the property** — "What is it about the property that's made you want to make an offer?" (the agent uses this when presenting to the vendor — emotional connection matters)
+5. **Timeline** — when would they ideally like to complete?
+6. **Any conditions** — is the offer subject to survey, sale of their property, or anything else?
+
+## Critical Rules
+
+- **Never counter-offer** — you do not negotiate on behalf of the vendor
+- **Never disclose other offers** — not the number, not the amount, not whether any exist
+- **Never hint at what might be acceptable** — no "I think the vendor would want more" or "that's quite low"
+- **Never disclose the vendor's circumstances** — their timeline, motivation, or financial position is confidential
+- **Stay neutral and professional** — "I'll make sure the agent presents this to the seller and they'll be in touch to discuss"
+
+## After Capture
+
+1. Save the offer to `memory/users/{phone}/offers/YYYY-MM-DD-address-slug.md`
+2. Include all gathered details
+3. **Escalate to the agent immediately** — offers are time-sensitive
+4. Confirm to the buyer: "Thank you — I've passed all of this to the agent and they'll be in touch once they've spoken with the seller. Is there anything else you'd like me to include?"
+
+## Multiple Offers
+
+If another buyer also wants to offer on the same property, capture their details separately. Never mention the other offer. The agent manages the best-and-final process if needed.

+# Viewing Booking
+
+## Purpose
+
+Convert a qualified buyer into a confirmed viewing. Make it easy, organised, and professional.
+
+## Booking Flow
+
+1. **Confirm the property** — make sure you're both talking about the same one
+2. **Offer specific times** — "The agent has viewings available on Thursday afternoon or Saturday morning — which works better for you?" Two options, not open-ended
+3. **Confirm attendees** — will it be just them, or partner/family too? This helps the agent prepare
+4. **Set expectations** — the agent conducts all viewings personally. They'll walk them through the property and answer any questions on the day
+5. **Confirm details** — repeat the time, date, property address, and their name
+
+## Important
+
+- Viewings are arranged on set days where possible to be respectful of the seller's time
+- If the buyer's preferred time clashes, offer the next available slot — don't leave it hanging
+- If the property has high interest, mention this factually ("there's been good interest this week") but never fabricate urgency
+- Always confirm the buyer has been qualified before booking — if not, qualify first
+
+## After Booking
+
+- Save the viewing to `memory/users/{phone}/viewings/YYYY-MM-DD-address-slug.md`
+- Include: date, time, property address, buyer name, their position, any notes
+- If shared calendar is available, create the event there too
+
+## Cancellations and Rescheduling
+
+- Be understanding — things come up
+- Offer an alternative promptly
+- If a buyer cancels twice without rescheduling, note it in their profile — they may be going cold

+# Viewing Management
+
+Handles the full lifecycle of property viewings — from booking through to post-viewing follow-up.
+
+## Booking a Viewing
+
+When a buyer requests a viewing:
+
+1. **Confirm the property** — match their request to a known listing. If ambiguous, ask.
+2. **Collect buyer details** (if new contact): full name, phone, email (optional), chain status, mortgage position
+3. **Check availability** — look at `memory/shared/events/` for conflicts
+4. **Propose 2-3 time slots** — default 30 minutes; 45 min for large/rural properties
+5. **Confirm in writing:** property address, date/time, duration, who will conduct, access instructions
+6. **Create calendar event** in both:
+   - `memory/shared/events/YYYY-MM-DD-viewing-{property-slug}.md`
+   - `memory/users/{buyer-phone}/events/YYYY-MM-DD-viewing-{property-slug}.md`
+
+## Rescheduling
+
+1. Find the existing event in `memory/shared/events/`
+2. Confirm the new date/time with the buyer
+3. Update both event files (shared + user)
+4. Change status to `rescheduled` and add a note with the original date
+5. Confirm the change in writing
+
+## Cancellations
+
+1. Update event status to `cancelled`
+2. Add cancellation reason and who cancelled
+3. Confirm to the buyer
+4. If vendor-side cancellation, apologise and offer alternatives
+
+## Reminders
+
+- **24 hours before:** Confirmation reminder with address and time
+- **Morning of:** Brief reminder with any last-minute access details
+- Use the cron/events tool for scheduling these
+
+## Schedule Summaries
+
+When the agent needs an overview:
+1. List all viewing events from `memory/shared/events/` for the requested period
+2. Present chronologically: time, property, buyer name, conducted by
+3. Flag conflicts or tight turnarounds (< 30 min between viewings at different properties)
+
+## Rules
+
+- **Never double-book** a property or team member at the same time
+- **Always confirm in writing** — verbal confirmations are not sufficient
+- **Vendor preferences matter** — some vendors don't want viewings at certain times, or require notice
+- **Access instructions are confidential** — never share lockbox codes or key locations with anyone other than the conducting agent
+- **No-shows** — record on buyer's profile. Two no-shows = flag to agent before further bookings

+
+# Negotiation
+
+Provides guidance on the information-gathering and preparation side of negotiations. The agent never negotiates directly — the business owner handles all negotiation — but the agent prepares the ground.

+## When to Activate
+
+An offer has been received, a deal is at risk of falling through, a multi-offer situation is developing, or preparation is needed for a pricing conversation.

+## Key Rules
+
+- The agent NEVER negotiates — no counter-offers, no hints, no pressure
+- Information asymmetry is critical — never disclose vendor circumstances to buyers or vice versa
+- Speed matters — offers and at-risk deals are time-sensitive, always escalate promptly
+- Frame the business owner as the negotiation expert
+- Negotiate for the DEAL, not to "win" — mutually beneficial outcomes
+- Interests over positions — understand WHY, not just WHAT
+- Always know three numbers before entering: first offer, best target, walkaway
+- Let silence do the heavy lifting — present your point, then wait
+- Precise counter-numbers give credibility (£298,450 not £300,000)

+# Deal Saving
+
+## Purpose
+
+When an agreed sale is at risk of collapsing, identify the issue and help the agent resolve it. Around 30% of agreed sales fall through — the agent's role is to minimise that number through proactive management.
+
+## Common Reasons Deals Fail
+
+### Survey Issues
+- Down-valuation (lender values below purchase price)
+- Structural concerns flagged
+- Costly repairs identified
+
+**Agent's role:** Gather the specific concerns. What exactly did the survey say? What's the buyer's reaction? Are they willing to proceed at a lower price, or do they want the issue fixed first? Compile for the agent.
+
+### Chain Breaks
+- Someone further up or down the chain pulls out
+- A related sale falls through
+
+**Agent's role:** Map the chain clearly. Who has fallen out? What are the options — can the affected party find an alternative quickly? Is there a chain-break solution (bridging finance, temporary rental)?
+
+### Buyer Cold Feet
+- Found another property
+- Change in financial circumstances
+- Emotional uncertainty
+
+**Agent's role:** Understand what's changed. Is it fixable? Remind them (gently) why they fell in love with the property. But never pressure — if they've genuinely changed their mind, it's better to know now.
+
+### Solicitor Delays
+- Slow searches, unresponsive solicitors, missing paperwork
+
+**Agent's role:** Identify the bottleneck. Which solicitor? What's outstanding? How long have they been waiting? The agent can then apply pressure directly.
+
+### Vendor Changes Mind
+- Changed circumstances, emotional attachment, second thoughts
+
+**Agent's role:** Listen, understand, flag to the agent immediately. This is a sensitive conversation the agent should lead.
+
+## Escalation
+
+All deal-saving situations should be flagged to the agent with:
+- What the issue is (specific, not vague)
+- What the parties have said
+- What the options appear to be
+- How time-sensitive it is
+
+Speed matters. A wobble that's caught in 24 hours is often saveable. A wobble that festers for a week becomes a collapse.

+# Negotiation Deep Guide
+*Adapted from Serhant Closing & Negotiation Guide*
+
+## Three Fundamentals
+
+1. **You're working for the DEAL** — not to "win"
+2. **Playing for the other side to win** — when they win, you win
+3. **Put interests over ego** — hard on the problem, soft on the person
+
+## Interests vs Positions
+
+Positions are what people SAY they want. Interests are WHY they want it.
+
+**Example:** Buyer says can't go above £485k. Why?
+- Can't secure a larger mortgage
+- Needs renovation budget factored in
+- Hasn't sold yet
+- Monthly payment concern
+
+**Vendor says won't go below £500k. Why?**
+- Needs the money for next purchase
+- Emotional attachment to what they paid
+- Not in a rush
+
+**If you know the interests, you may bridge the gap creatively** — timelines, fixtures, completion dates.
+
+## Preparation: Three Numbers
+
+1. **First offer** — opening position (supported by evidence)
+2. **Best target** — realistic hope (NEVER share)
+3. **Walkaway** — absolute limit (set BEFORE emotions kick in)
+
+## Five Techniques
+
+### 1. "The Pull"
+Pull the deal away when it drags and your side wants it more.
+
+### 2. "The Facts"
+Pull the comps. Present the evidence. Hard to argue with data.
+
+### 3. "What Do You Want To Do?"
+When the deal is fair — put the decision in their hands.
+
+### 4. "The Emotions"
+"£10k over budget, spread over 10 years, is £1,000 a year. Is this home worth that?"
+
+### 5. "The Reality"
+Sometimes the truth hurts. The best agents tell it.
+
+## Tactical Principles
+
+- **Reciprocity** — offer something, ask something in return
+- **No hostile emotions** — agents are shock absorbers
+- **Silence** — present your point, then SHUT UP
+- **Decoy** — ask for something expendable first, then win what matters
+- **Gradual persuasion** — tugboats, not rams
+- **Precise numbers** — £298,450 not £300,000
+
+## Comparable Reports
+
+- Start with the building/street — most recent sales first
+- Comp realistically — explain outliers
+- More recent = better — nothing over 12 months
+- Comps should never make a seller feel bad — they're helpful tools

+# Negotiation prep — principles + preparation (Serhant)
+
+Your role is **prep and information capture**. The agent negotiates.
+
+## Three principles
+1) **Work for the deal** (not to "win")
+2) **When the other side wins, you win** (find mutual gain)
+3) **Put interest over ego**
+
+## Interests vs positions
+- People state **positions** ("£500k", "I won't move") but act on **interests** (timing, fear, certainty, renovations, chain risk).
+- Ask "**Why?**" to uncover interests on both sides.
+- Avoid "split the difference" by default. Look for creative ways to bridge the gap.
+
+## Prep checklist (before the agent calls)
+- Buyer's position: offer amount, conditions, timeframes, chain status, mortgage readiness.
+- Buyer's interests: what's driving the number (affordability, renovations, risk, other bids).
+- Seller's interests (if known): urgency, onward purchase, risk tolerance, certainty vs price.
+- Evidence: key comps + story (why the offer is rational, what the market is saying).
+- 3 numbers (conceptual):
+  - **First offer**
+  - **Best target** (never share)
+  - **Walkaway** (seller's minimum / buyer's max)
+
+## Script fragments (safe for an assistant)
+- "So I can brief the agent properly, what's driving that number for you?"
+- "If that figure isn't accepted, what would your next offer be?" (captures range without countering)

+# Five Negotiation Techniques — Serhant Method
+
+## Three Fundamentals
+1. Work for the DEAL, not to "win"
+2. Play for the other side to win — mutual benefit
+3. Interests over ego — hard on the problem, soft on the person
+
+## Interests vs Positions
+Positions = what people say. Interests = why. Ask WHY to find creative bridges.

+1. **First offer** — opening position, supported by evidence
+2. **Best target** — realistic goal (NEVER share)
+3. **Walkaway** — absolute limit, set BEFORE emotions kick in
+
+## The Five Techniques
+
+### 1. "The Pull"
+Pull the deal away when at stalemate. Risky but effective.
+"Thank you for getting us this far. Unfortunately it's just not going to work. Good luck!"
+
+### 2. "The Facts"
+Purely analytical. Comps speak for themselves.
+"Here are the facts. Here are the comparables. This is our justification."
+
+### 3. "What Do You Want To Do?"
+Put the decision in their hands when you believe the deal is fair.
+
+### 4. "The Emotions"
+When SO close to closing AND losing. Lean into what the property means.
+"£10k over budget, spread over 10 years, is £1,000 a year. Worth it for this home?"
+
+### 5. "The Reality"
+Hardest technique. The truth, simply stated.
+"This is what the market is saying. Right now, today — this is what we can get."
+
+## Tactical Principles
+- **Reciprocity** — offer something, then ask for something
+- **Silence** — present your point, then shut up. First to speak loses
+- **Decoy** — ask for something you don't need, concede it, win what you care about
+- **Gradual persuasion** — tugboats, not battering rams
+- **Precise numbers** — £298,450 not £300,000 (shows you agonised over it)

+# Offer Presentation Preparation
+
+## Purpose
+
+Prepare a complete picture for the agent to present to the vendor. The better the information, the stronger the agent's position in guiding the vendor to the right decision.
+
+## The Complete Offer Package
+
+For the agent to present effectively, compile:
+
+### Buyer Profile
+- Full name and contact details
+- Current position (FTB, chain-free, selling, sold STC)
+- Funding (cash, mortgage — lender, AIP confirmed, deposit level)
+- Solicitor instructed? Who?
+- Timeline expectations
+
+### The Offer
+- Amount offered
+- How they arrived at the figure (their rationale)
+- Any conditions (subject to survey, subject to sale, etc.)
+- Their emotional connection — what do they love about the property?
+
+### Context
+- How many viewings has this buyer had of this property?
+- How long has the property been on the market?
+- What's the viewing-to-offer ratio? (lots of viewings with one offer tells a different story to first viewing, first offer)
+- Any other active interest or potential offers?
+
+## Multi-Offer Situations
+
+When multiple buyers want to offer:
+- Capture each offer separately and fully
+- Never disclose one offer to another buyer — not the amount, not the existence
+- The agent decides whether to run a best-and-final process
+- The agent's role is to ensure every interested party has the opportunity to submit their best position
+
+## After Presentation
+
+- Record the vendor's response in `memory/admin/pipeline/{property-slug}.md`
+- If accepted: trigger sales progression tracking
+- If rejected: relay to buyer with grace — "The seller has decided not to accept at this level. Would you like to reconsider your position?"
+- If counter-offered: the agent communicates this directly

+# Chris Voss -- Full Negotiation Framework for Estate Agency
+
+Source: "Never Split the Difference" by Chris Voss
+
+Core argument: **Traditional negotiation advice is wrong.** Compromise and "meeting in the middle" is lazy. Great negotiators use psychology, empathy, and calibrated questions.
+
+## The Complete Toolkit
+
+### 1. Tactical Empathy
+Not sympathy -- **tactical empathy** means understanding the other person's emotions, acknowledging them, and showing you see their perspective.
+
+### 2. Mirroring
+Repeat the last 1-3 words someone said to encourage them to elaborate.
+
+### 3. Labelling
+Name the other person's emotion to defuse it.
+- "It seems like you're concerned about the timing."
+- "It sounds like you feel pressured."
+
+### 4. The Power of "That's Right"
+Summarise their position until they say "That's right." Trust increases dramatically.
+**"That's right" = real agreement. "You're right" = dismissal.**
+
+### 5. Calibrated Questions
+- "How am I supposed to do that?" (when asked to reduce fee)
+- "What would make this work for you?"
+- "How can we solve this together?"
+- "What made you arrive at that figure?"
+
+### 6. The Accusation Audit
+**For fee negotiation:**
+> "You may feel like the fee is too much. You might think you could find a cheaper agent. And you might wonder whether the extra marketing really makes a difference."
+
+**For price reduction:**
+> "You're probably going to feel like I'm the bearer of bad news. And the last thing I want is for you to think I didn't fight for you."
+
+### 7. The Ackerman Model
+Structured bargaining:
+1. Set your target price
+2. Start at 65% of target
+3. Increase in decreasing increments: 85%, 95%, 100%
+4. Final offer uses a precise, non-round number (e.g. £487,250 not £487,000)
+5. On the final amount, throw in a non-monetary item
+
+The precise number signals "I've calculated this to my absolute limit."
+
+### 8. Three Negotiation Tones
+1. **Late-Night FM DJ Voice** -- slow, calm, reassuring. Use to reduce tension.
+2. **Positive Playful Voice** -- friendly and warm. Use to build rapport.
+3. **Direct Voice** -- assertive but calm. Use sparingly.
+
+## Practical Estate Agent Scripts
+
+**Buyer offers £780k on a £850k property:**
+
+Voss style:
+> "It sounds like you're trying to make sure you don't overpay."
+> [Pause]
+> "What made you arrive at £780k?"
+
+**Vendor resisting price reduction:**
+> "It seems like you feel the property is worth more."
+> "What would need to happen for you to feel comfortable adjusting the guide price?"
+
+## Core Principles
+
+- People care about: **Autonomy, Respect, Being Heard**
+- Listening is more powerful than talking
+- "No" creates safety -- encourage it
+- Aim for "That's right", not "You're right"

+
+## For Fee Protection

+### "I'm not sure if it's for you, but..."

+
+### "Don't take my word for it"
+> "Don't take my word for it -- here are the results from the last five homes we've marketed at this level."

+## For Price Reduction Conversations
