In a business that has recently seen an exodus of realtors, there are still many real estate agents that remain. As this business has seen good days and bad days, it's important to evolve, but also stick to your script. What I mean, is that your success will come, but not as a replica of another real estate agent's success.
Each real estate agent has a lot of knowledge in common, especially those licensed in the same states. You take the same test to become a a realtor, but then it's every agent's responsiblity to learn and grow in the business. Some realtors learn and grow fast. They take advantage of trainings and learn from more experienced real estate agents and soon become very successful. For some realtors, it may take longer to build the type of thriving business they want.
However, as I've been a real estate agent for over six years, I've learned that you can't be like no one else but you. No matter how much you try to emulate the road another agent has taken, it still will have your name written all over it. As I am gaining new business insight, my success has come from within. Even if I tried, I couldn't be like another agent. It doesn't mean that I haven't learned from others, but it means that how I approach this busness will be my way.
You have to learn to do what works for you and be yourself at doing that. Your personality. Your style. Your drive. Your real estate being will uniquely communicate to buyers and sellers who you are. Your persona as a realtor allows you to standout from others and makes you an individual. I suggest you find the things that make your business grow and become successful but stay true to who you are as an individual to make it all work.
In an area such as Maryland, DC, and Virginia, the competition is often very stiff among agents. There are real estate agents who are doing well now and who have done well in the previous market. They have developed their niches and that consistency has paid off. Ultimately, you become a brand and people can identify you by those charactersistics that make you who you are.
I have specialized in real estate in Upper Marlboro, MD as well as DC, but proudly serve the entire DC and Maryland area. It's up to me to make what I do work for me. People will see my my work ethic and personality, not someone else's. I'm also a licensed social worker and sometimes I just can't help behaving like one, but that's who I am. I have to still make it work. I wish every agent much success and encourage you to make your success yours and learn to do what works best for you.
