Treat Your Business Like a Business

A common mistake that new Realtors and even Realtors who have been in the business for a long time is they don't treat their business like a business. Real Estate allows you freedom and a wonderful lifestyle, but you better take the business part seriously.

This business will be great to you and spoil you rotten if you respect and treat it accordingly. New agents, if you are struggling and wondering why you arent' getting that listing and cant get that offer accepted, don't get discouraged but question what you can change to succeeed.

Einstein once said:

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different outcomes."

If you are doing something and nothing is coming of it. Stop! Throw another dart at the board. Farming is alot of doing the same things and it takes a while for you too gain ground and get responses, but if you have been sending out the same tired calenders and notepads for the last year and it hasn't netted you anything, its time to stop.

There are plenty of fresh ideas out there, you just have to find that right one(or some) that stick. Then when you are generateing leads and converting them, you know you can repeat that process and expect the same outcome!

Hope this helps! if you are having trouble and want to learn more about Rev. Send us a message.

How the Real Estate Bust Has and Will Change Brokerages

For all the harm that the real estate crisis has caused, alot of good is going to come out of it.  What this crisis has done more than anything, is make people think very carefully about the real estate industry as a whole; from the buyers and sellers, to the Realtors and Brokerages, to lenders and appraisers.

No one will contest that in the height of the real estate boom, professionals were giving out advice that they shouldn't have given and their brokers were not much better either. But at the same time, buyers and sellers did not do their homework as well. The professionals who sold them their homes, and sold them their mortgages, were simply doing their job. Thats not going to chang in the future.Broekrs and Realtors are going to do their jobs as the market dictates.

What is going to  change is the way in which we relate and communicate to our clients. The way Realtors approach their clients and the way Brokers approach thier Realtors is going to change. An open forum is going to erupt. To where transparency is going to rule. In turn its going to lead to a far more profitable and accountable business in the future.

To attain this goal "Options" must be in place for all. From Brokers all the way down to the buyers and sellers, Realtors are going to have to give their clients more options and Brokers are going to have to give their agents more options. The reason we need options is the business model for traditional brokerages and traditional sales is stale. It was over-worked and out-played the last 10 or so years. With the advancements in technology and the ease in which communication is transforming, business models from top to bottom are going to have to change. The cliche "out with the old and in with the new" is a cliche for a reason. Cliche's exist because it has shown it truth throughout history.

Does it mean the big, dominant brokerages are going to disappear? Of course not. However, new emerging brokerages with fresh models are going to gain market share and force these giants to re-think their strategies. In all it will transform the industry for the better!

Innovation is going to be key, automation is going to be key, and options are going to be key.

Rev is enacting these principles to help move the industry in to a better place.

Very best in your quest,

Investing in a Real Estate Website

WHether you are an experienced agent ot a newly licensed agent, the time will come to promote yourself on the web, via website, blog, etc. WHen you do so there is one question you need to ask yourself. What is my goal?

ALot of agents build a fancy website with snazzy flash photos, search portals to the MLS and tips for buyers and sellers. If your goal is to give out free information and not receive anything in return then thats is the site for you. If you are trying to convert views to leas then you have to drastically re-think you plan.

One thing to consider is Search Engine Optimization and bringing value to each and every visitor to your site.

Stay Tuned for tips on how to obtain this.
