Five Strategies That Improved My Success As An Agent
As I look back at my first year of receiving my RE license, I can break up the year up into two equal parts. I implemented the following strategies during my second six months, which vastly improved my business. These will work for "Newbies" as well as "Seasoned Pros" who find themselves looking for something more.
•1. Seek Out The Experts. I seeked, found and surrounded myself with successful agents (and broker) who had positive attitudes and were willing to help and teach me. Support by positive people is priceless.
•2. Emulate Successful People. Imitation is the highest form of flattery! Why? Because it means they know how to be successful in their field. If someone is successful doing something, you can do the same thing and be successful too.
•3. Research, Research, Research. This is the one that took (takes) most of my time. I just sit down at my computer, or with books/magazines, and read about Real Estate. Information about marketing on the internet, networking, the Real Estate market and trends etc. There is a wealth of information at your finger tips...it's a great time to be a Realtor.
•4. Try New Things. I learned a lot of new things from people and research, but it would be meaningless unless I implemented what I learned. Don't let knew things intimidate you.
•5. Be consistent. This is one that is most difficult because it is based on accountability. I needed to make a plan, put it into action, and continue to follow through to support my plan. If I begin a strategy, and then give up because it doesn't work within two months, then I am not being consistent with my plan.
Every day in Real Estate is different. That is what I enjoy most about Real Estate (oh, and being successful is fun too).
