Shhh.... don't tell anyone!

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty

Shhhh

Are you an undercover agent?  Do you walk into a room and get nervous that someone might ask you your profession?  Then let me do you a favor and save you a lot of time, money and stress... find another career!

I know Real Estate agents, for the most part, have a really bad rap.. some worse than attorneys!  So if you're afraid to tell someone what you do, you are in the wrong business!  Just because you're an agent doesn't mean this list of buyers/sellers will magically appear on your desk!  You have to constantly work on your business and not just in your business (I'll save that topic for another blog..), and let the world know not only that you're a Real Estate agent, but you want their business!

Instead of living in fear under the shadow other agents leave, cast your own shadow!  Meet people, do an outstanding job, change their mind about how they feel about agents, and do what you can to stand out from the crowd.  Trust me, the referrals will start rolling in.  When you come from contribution and put your client's needs before your own, you can't lose!

Britney, what a timely post. I think that if you are embarrassed doing what you do; you should find a new profession.

Hi Britney... I couldn't agree more.  Regardless of your profession, if you can't feel proud and confident of what you do, you should probably be doing something else... and as a REALTOR, it's mission critical that you feel you can shout it from the rooftops!

BTW, Congratulations on your recent "big" news!

You think realtors have a bad rap?

Try telling people that you are a mortgage banker!!!  We have been villified unmercifully.
