One of the things I love MOST about selling real estate is that (believe it or not) there are MANY different ways to succeed, and MANY different ways to do things.
I know, I know, there are many real estate gurus and type A personalities that will tell you that THEIR way is the right way, and what you are doing is wrong. I've heard and read that way too many times. Heck, I've said it a few times.
But here is the reality. Real estate is such a wide open game. It's a local game. It's an individual game that works differently for each person.
Put your seat belt on here...
THERE IS MORE THAN ONE WAY TO SUCCEED AT REAL ESTATE.
There. I said it.
I interviewed an agent the other day. She used to sell real estate, but got out of it in 2008 for some personal reasons. She said that she was ready to get back in the game and was very excited to join our team.
During the interview, she told me that she got most of her business from open houses, knocking on doors, and going to networking groups.
I cringed. I despise all three of those things. I tried to talk to her about social networking, Facebook, and a few of the other methods that I use that make us successful. She thanked me, and went on to tell me more how she succeeded doing things HER way.
She opened my mind. These were things that she was truly good at, and doing these things made her successful in real estate.
Every once in a while I like to pound my chest and say that my way is the right way. Well, it's the right way for ME. It may not be for YOU.
Mind: Opened. Ego: Checked. Lesson: Learned.
Do your own thing. Do what works for you.
