Have you ever noticed that some conversations with clients or team members land effortlessly, while others seem to get lost? That’s where the power of VAK—Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic communication—comes in. Understanding and applying VAK can elevate your influence in listing presentations, client negotiations, and team meetings.

What is VAK?

VAK stands for:

  • Visual – What we see
  • Auditory – What we hear
  • Kinesthetic – What we feel or experience

Most agents have a dominant communication style, but the real magic happens when you combine all three—known as VAK stacking—to engage clients and create stronger connections.

The Power of Visuals in Real Estate

Think about a time when you described market trends to a client, but it didn’t fully register until you showed them a pricing graph or recent comparable sales. Seeing is believing. Use visuals like property photos, floor plans, and data charts to reinforce your message and help clients make confident decisions.

The Auditory Advantage in Negotiations

Words matter, but so do tone, pace, and emphasis. When presenting an offer or discussing market conditions, how you say things can be just as important as what you say. Strong narration can guide clients through complex decisions, ensuring they feel informed and reassured.

The Kinesthetic Connection in Client Experiences

Buying or selling a property is emotional. Clients engage more deeply when they can physically interact with information. Instead of just emailing a digital report, hand them a printed market analysis. During an open home, encourage them to walk the space and visualise living there. These tactile experiences create stronger emotional connections.

Winning with VAK Stacking

The most effective agents combine all three VAK elements to create compelling client experiences. For example, in a listing presentation:

  • Speak to market insights and pricing strategy (Auditory).
  • Show recent sales data and professional marketing materials (Visual).
  • Engage sellers by walking them through the staging process or a pricing exercise (Kinesthetic).

This approach builds trust, improves understanding, and inspires action—whether you’re winning a listing, closing a deal, or leading a team.
