Real Estate - The New Team Sport
I haven't always been part of a real estate team, when I first started in real estate, I was on my own for a few months while Kevin was taking his licensing classes. Then when he first got licensed, we both tried to do everything. It became evident pretty quickly that we each had different strengths and we enjoyed different aspects of the business.
Once we realized and accepted that fact, we could each focus on the areas we are best at and that we could be twice as productive and serve our clients better.
No one person can be good at everything, with a team, you don't have to be.
We see all kinds of teams in our area - father/daughter, mother/son, husband/wife, or just two agents that work well together and decide to work as a team. Many of the teams in our area are among the top producers, and for good reason. There are many benefits to working as part of a team.
What are the benefits of a working as a team?
- Double the Time - As a Realtor®, you often wish there were 48 hours in a day. There are with a team.
- Better service for your clients - if one of us is unavailable, the other one can usually answer the phone or meet with a client. We even provide the other person's cell phone number on our voice mail so a caller has options if they need immediate assistance.
- Connect with a broader range of clients - if a client doesn't connect with one of us, the other one can step in and is usually able to make a connection. This allows us to get and keep more clients.
- Spend More Time on Tasks You Enjoy, and Less Time on Those You Don't - This has been our greatest benefit, we have assigned our tasks based on our strengths and likes. This makes our job more enjoyable and allows us to get more accomplished in less time.
- Share ideas and Solutions - when you have a question or a challenging situation, it's great to have someone to share ideas and brainstorm possible solutions.
- Different Perspectives - when you are coming up with new marketing ideas or struggling with a client issue, a different perspective and knowledge and experience base can help you come up with new solutions.
So if you're looking for a way to achieve more, and you can work well with others, consider becoming part of a real estate team. In real estate, two heads really can be better than one!
