What do Busy Agents Do?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Classic Realty Associates

We were chatting the other day  in our office about the difference between Top Producing agents and those that after a year or two are floundering.  Here are a few of our thoughts about what they do .

Successful Agents:

  • Have a system.  From the get -go in beginning their real estate career they treat selling just like an hourly job....every minute counts, they are always busy.
  • They network continually by using systems, and reaching out to touch others in a personal meaningful way. They market themselves on paper but more so in person.
  • They get involved in their community, their company, and their professional associations.
  • They ask a lot of questions and tend to ignore preconceived notions about how to do well in real estate.
  • They look at success and without giving up their individuality and creativity, do what has already been proven to work.
  • They complain very little.
  • They compliment a lot.
  • They help others.

Have a great day!

Thanks for sharing your insightful conversation.  I especially like the 'tend to ignore preconceived notions about how to do well in real estate' point.  I'm still perfecting my 'system' but having one in place is very beneficial.

This is one of my favorite topics and you hit it on the head. 

There is a HUGE difference between "busy" agents and "successful" agents and the difference is in how they use their time.  Successful agents know how to delegate.

Dan ,

You are right. They know what is a waste of valuable time and what is not.

Hi Brent and Trey, All excellent tips for every realtor.  I certainly fall short on most of them.....but do well on some.  Guess it's hard to be perfect.

I agree with Dan's comment.  All successful agents know how to delegate.  Some agents seem to be busy but not successful so there is a difference.
