The Typical NYS Realtor...

By
Real Estate Agent with Miranda Real Estate Group, Inc. NYS 10401214143

Every once in a while something good shows up in my mailbox.... Once a month I can count on the delivery of New York State Realtor, the Official Publication of the NYS Association of Realtors.    This month I was intrigued to see the profile of "the typical New York State Realtor":

 * 55 year old female

* Homeowner

* Primarily a residential specialist with 10 years experience

* 69% said it was their only career

* Typically have 8 transactions each year

* 12% of business comes from repeat business and 20% from referrals from past clients

* 60% are affiliate with an independent company.

 

 An agent SHOULD BE a trusted member of your home buying or selling team whose EXPERIENCE & COMPETENCE helps your real estate goal become reality in an effective, efficient and professional fashion.  And while parts of me are "typical", I refuse to be typical in the parts that I consider the most important for my clients (transaction volume & client satisfaction). So how do I "stack up"? 

I'm getting closer to 55 but not there for awhile yet. ;)

I am a homeowner.

I am a full time agent

I am affiliated with the Capital Region's #1 Independent company: Miranda Real Estate Group, Inc.

I'm proud to say that I have 4+x the volume of transactions as compared to the typical NYS Realtor. 

I'm even more proud to say that over 85% of my business comes from past or referred clients.

Not fun being 'typical'. Great post showing how you overcome that generalization.

I'm with you  Brenda... nothing typical about me either on any of those fronts... way older than the typical agent; not a first career for me; my transactions are also multiples of the typical; more than twice the experience; 75% of my business from repeat and referral, affiliated with an international franchise. I am however (last I checked) a female and a homeowner.

No you are not typical and that is why you are highly successful and making many home buyers and sellers happy. It's good to be different, Brenda.

You must impress your clients if over 85% of your business is from repeats and referrals.  That's wonderful!  All the best to you in 2017.

My goal is simple -- to run into them after closing and have them NOT run the other way.  LOL!   Thank you for the vist!  Cheers to a great 2017!

Yes, being "typical" isn't necessary where we want to be. I saw this list also in the NYS publication and laughed at the first few because I am 56, a homeowner and this is my only business. In regard to the others, I was interested to see I wasn't typical either.

Thanks for sharing!

Brenda Mayette - the reason your business is lot better than others is simple - you are working by referrals!

Brenda, I was actually surprised at the median age of the realtor. Not the gender so much. I am over that age, so I feel pretty good about that!

Brenda Mayette, it's a good feeling to know you don't fit in "that box". You're an extraordinary REALTOR® and your clients are in great hands with you.
