When I first entered the real estate business, I sat down with the most successful agents in the industry that I knew and scheduled a one on one interview to pick their brain. I composed a list of all the concerns and questions I wanted to know about. How they market, how long it took to get their first sale, what they did for the community, what clients expect, etc.
I inquired as to the top 10 things that made them successful & the 10 things they would never do again. Basically I wanted a crash course in real estate and to by-pass many of the mistakes these seasoned agents had made. It took these agents many years to acquire this knowledge and experience, and if I could gain insight in a single interview to make myself a better agent overall, I was going to take notes and listen. Thank you to all those wonderful agents who gave me their precious time to me. I still have my notes and often refer back to them to stay on track. And in turn, I am passing on to the newer agents tools of the trade that I have learned over the years.
Do you have any ideas to share that helped or hindered you in real estate?
