Advice for New Real Estate Agents

Advice For New Real Estate Agents
A lot of new agents ask themselves and their mentors how to get clients. New agents often see a large client base as a source of money, and why wouldn’t you? It only seems logical.

But consider thinking about it like this: don’t worry so much about getting clients—focus on keeping clients.

Sure, it takes skill to go out and prospect for new clients, but that’s not going to set you apart from other agents—most real estate agents are comfortable talking to people and making connections.

Establishing relationships with people is going to set you apart. 


So often, people want an easy solution to their problems: “What’s the magic bullet that won’t require a lot of work?”

Sorry, my friend, but the real estate industry is not going to work like that.

Advice for New Real Estate Agents


Instead, your success will depend on your drive, work ethic, and attention to detail. Do you think SEO will be the trick? What about Social Media prowess? Maybe you want to hit the pavement or cold call people. More power to you. But these are just tools and techniques.

The same way a football offense must choose a run play, pass play, kick, or punt, you must choose between your own tools, each one chosen based on specific circumstances. If all you can do is pass the ball, you may not last. Likewise, if all you do is wait for potential clients to contact you, you won’t make it in this industry.

Don’t hide from the SuperStar agents in your area, call them up and take them out to coffee (your treat). Ask them about the area, let them share their wisdom and listen closely. If you have a good rapport, meet up again and you might have a mentor.

Find your niche. You might think this business is all about transactions, but really it’s all about relationships. And the beautiful thing is that the better relationships you have the more homes you’ll sell.

So work hard. Leave the office. Have some fun. Get out there and sell some homes. And, in the process, make some friends.

A Simple Tip for Florida Real Estate Agents

Listen, guys. I know you've all heard it a million times before, but it can't be overstated: clear out the alligators from your listings.
Nothing will scare a buyer more than seeing a giant cartoon alligator plopped down on the front yard.
Get rid of them!

5 Components of Every Successful Business Plan

5 Components of Every Successful Business Plan


In this post we’ll identify and discuss some helpful guidelines for writing your overall business plan as a real estate sales associate. Without putting it in words, unwritten business plan is just wishful thinking. Therefore, the process of writing your business plan is just as important as the result because writing forces you to examine your assumptions and analysis more carefully. And although there’s no established template that is always used, any well-rounded business plan will include the following elements:

  1. A mission statement.
This is a statement that clearly expresses the exact nature of your business. It’s the guiding light for everything your business does. Regardless of the particular activity in which you are engaged you should be able to articulate how that activity relates to the mission statement.

  1. Achievable goals
These must be measurable and consistent with your mission statement. Reverse engineering begins with the desired result. Your business plan will include the steps to achieve your goals.

  1. Objectives
These are measurable milestones that must be accomplished to achieve your goals.

  1. Budget
This will determine the amount of money you will have for marketing and promotion.

  1. Action Plans
These specify what you’re going to do, how you’re going to do it, and when you’re going to do it. It also includes your marketing and personal promotion plan.

Keep these 5 components in mind when drafting your own business plan and you’ll be more likely to make it a successful one. Note: Traditionally, a business plan is prepared to seek financing, especially a loan from a bank or venture capital. However, it’s helpful to consider your business plan in those terms even if acquiring financing is not currently a necessity for you.
