All I have to do is answer my phone...

Alot of my friends ask me how I am succeeding in this career only being in it for 3 years and ending up in the top 10 in my office after 1 1/2 years.  I remember when I was searching for a house and I would drive up to the front, pull the flyer, and then call the agent that was on the flyer to see if I could get in.  No responce.  No call back, nothing.  I made a small mental note that I would never be that agent.  I have been primarily successful from floor calls, sign calls, open houses, and lead generating websites.  Although my biggest asset to this business is the phone, I find that if you can't answer it when they call, but call back within a 1/2 hour of them calling, you will still procure the lead.  This business is complex at times, but I am finding that it is as simple as answering the phone!

 

What makes you successful?

I know, it kills me the number of times I call on a place, and nobody calls me back.  Unbelievable.

I went to a listing presentation and beat out two other agents because they didn't bring a CMA!

My recipe for success:

Be on time
Do your homework
Always do what you say you will do, when you say you will do it
Be available (answer the phone and return phone calls)
