33 Tips For 3 Types of Agents and Their 3 Challenges

There are 3 types of real estate agents.

Those that have forgotten more bright ideas than they can remember.

Those filling their heads with all the new bright ideas they can find.

Those that have both forgotten more than they can remember and are always on the lookout for new bright ideas.

There are 3 types of challenges for all real estate agents:

1.  The status-quo will not maintain your business.

2.  Choosing solid-gold over fools-gold.

2.  Moving our chosen ideas out of the imaginary feel-good world of good intentions and into the real world arena of action, implementation and monetization.

Which ever type you are. . .

I thought these ideas were solid-gold and were realistically simple to implement.  I plucked these ideas from a 59 page list of Twitter sized ideas submitted by attendees at Prudential Real Estate’s Top Producer Summit conference.
