365 Tips To Becoming A Successful Realtor®

Tip #4 - What Is Your Edge Over The Other Realtors® In The Area?

Are you a stand out agent or do you just run with the pack? Running with the pack can be one of the biggest mistakes that a Realtor® can make. Why should a seller hire you if you just do the same things that all of the other agents do to sell the home? They might as well just hire the one with the lowest commission.

What sets you apart from the others?

If your answer doesn't come immediately to mind, then FIGURE IT OUT! Seller need to know why they should choose you to sell their home. Figure out what makes you the best and talk about it. Don't be shy. Be bold!

Are you in the top 5% of real estate agents in the county? Tell them about it.

Do you have the #1 most read real estate blog in you city or county? Tell them about it!

Do you take up 4 of the first 10 Google results for your keywords? Tell them about it!

Tell them why you are the best and ask for the listing. You aren't bragging. You are interviewing for the job. Tell them exactly why they should choose you to sell their home and ask for the job.

I was asked that very question just two days ago. First time in a long time and although I hadn't a pat answer ready, I told him that I've been at the same office 5 blocks from his house for 20+ years and made an excellent living. It seemed to fly. I would have felt better if I had a better answer.
