Ok, I am saying it now, we are in a recession, the government goats can wait if they want to make the obvious announcement, but I am not waiting. I do Real Estate for a living. And this market is now holds nothing for agents to fear. Unless they are fearful , timid, and dreaming. Never the less, the ostrich approach will guarantee nothing but career extinction.
We can not run from the USA economy, we can not fear this change, and we have to find the gaps in the market now and work, the heck out of them.
Go on a wild , hard charging, listing war, get all the listings you can, remember they are in a price war and a beauty contest to win the offer of the buyer. You need resolve now, you must bring to the market your seeds of commitment to your career ,not your needs.
Rainmakers, what a great opportunity to build your team. Many agents who can not lead generate will be glad to work on a team that has a proven market leader and can create leads and opportunities for them to stay in the business of real Estate. As so many other companies will be cutting back, you recruit their agents and teach them to be your buyer and listing agents. With this group of agents they need to know how to convert and cultivate your leads into cash.
Brokers, what a great time to attract talent, there is an old saying in the ownership of a real estate company and it's so true, "IF YOUR NOT GROWING THEN YOU'RE DIEING."
SO many of your competitors will be cutting back on basics, "THINKING THEY CAN SAVE THEIR WAY TO SUCCESS." A FATAL MISTAKE. Reposition yourself in the best space you can afford that they have left, and hire the talent that they have dismissed.
All Rainmakers the GOAL NOW IS TO HIRE TALENT ON YOUR TEAM...
In these times get with winners, do not stay with an easy crowd, You will not grow, Go where the expectaions are high and the demands to perform are high . Ask your self constantly "who am I around? What have they got me reading? What do they have me thinking? Make conclusions about your career and taking it to the next level today.
Stop waiting, stop trying to save your way to success. Self preservation has a tendency to lead to poverty. Take aim at increasing your leading with revenue.
Get leads, get leads, meet sellers meet buyers recruit agents, and work on your branding. When the tide goes out , you can see who has been swimming naked. This is when smart Realtors slowly build and commit to staying no matter what the cost, or risk. Staying in the Wonderful Business of Real Estate as a career.
Screw the recession , don't buy into the headlines, Screw the polls, the studys, people have dreams want homeownership, want to sell, want to get married , have a family , have their own home, settle an estate, move up and down. Do not ever think there is not a lot of money out there, and it is Chasing individual dreams.
By choosing this time as an opportunity , you have decided to shift and succeed, just get it on now.
Never forget what Herb Brooks told his players in the "Miracle" (2004)
Coach Herb Brooks: Address to 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team Before Playing the Soviets
Great moments are born from great opportunity.
This is your time. Their time -- is done. It's over.
I'm sick and tired of hearin' about what a great hockey team the Soviets have.
Screw 'em! This is your time!!- Now go out there and take it!
. The young U.S. team was given no chance against a veteran Soviet squad that had dominated international hockey for years and had routed the Americans 10-3 in an exhibition game at Madison Square Garden the week before the Olympics. A rag tag group of college hockey players fought and They won that night and took the GOLD MEDAL.
