5 Don’ts in Real Estate That Could Cost You Big
Being successful in real estate isn’t just about knowing what to do—it’s also about knowing what NOT to do. Here are five critical mistakes to avoid if you want to thrive:
-
Don’t Neglect Phone Calls and Emails
I’ve worked with buyers who were interested in a property but couldn’t get the information they needed because the listing agent never responded. They moved on to another house. Communication is key—always be responsive! -
Don’t Cheap Out on Photography and Marketing
First impressions are everything. Buyers see photos first, and if your marketing is lackluster, they may never even step foot in the house. Invest in professional photos, videos, and staging if possible. -
Don’t Be Too Salesy
Nobody likes the pushy “salesperson” vibe. Be genuine, informative, and helpful. Your role isn’t just to sell; it’s to educate and guide. Offer data on recently sold properties, market trends, and neighborhood insights. Knowledge is power. -
Don’t Be Another Order-Taker
You have access to valuable industry information that buyers and sellers may not. Offer expert advice, not just surface-level guidance. Set yourself apart by being the professional clients can rely on. -
Don’t Compare Your Success to Others
Everyone’s journey is different, and success looks different for each person. Focus on your path without measuring it against someone else’s. You don’t know the struggles or hurdles they had to overcome to get where they are.
Real estate is a competitive industry, but by avoiding these five “don’ts,” you can stand out and build a thriving business.
