How do you even start a career as a real estate agent?

You must first understand that developing good habits is key when trying to build your real estate business. There is nothing wrong with putting in the extra hours to make sure your business is continuously growing at the right pace for you.

Ensure this extra effort is focused on just the right places! The best situations arise when you never stop learning and apply the knowledge you gain from various interactions to your own transactions. Nothing truly compares to the excitement you feel when you manage to sell your first home.

Let’s walk through a few tips you should home in on during the early stages of your business!

Perfect Your Pictures: Listing Photos Are the First to Be Seen

We live in a digital age where high-quality pictures are not so hard to come by! Even your smart phone can take the crisp pictures potential buyers want to see. Think about the first time you bought your own home or apartment. Did you pick the apartment that had dingy, outdated photos or the one that looked new and clean?

This is the exact same thought process potential buyers are going through when deciding which home to buy and which agent to purchase it from. Be the real estate agent with the most professional listings!

Persuade With Your Killer Personality: Open Houses

Prospective buyers at an open house are like a revolving door of new potential leads for your business! Don’t miss the opportunity to talk with as many people as possible because if they’re coming to an open house, you already know they’re in the market to buy a new home. The question is, which real estate agent is going to secure the sale?

Before every open house, make sure you do your research about the home for sale as well as other homes within this area that are comparable in price. This will give you an amazing talking point with the prospective buyers and allow you the perfect chance to show off your real estate knowledge while getting their contact information for a follow-up!

Find Reputable Mentors to Gain Priceless Knowledge

When you’re just starting out in your career, you simply don’t have the field experience that other veteran real estate agents gained over their many years in the industry. Use your lack of experience to your advantage by asking questions to the right people and finding a veteran mentor who is more than willing to educate you on the real estate game!

Be present for numerous real estate transactions where you’re basically just a fly on the wall! Soak up as much information as you can and translate what you learn to your own deals when you finally nail your first client!

Now, Go Sell Some Houses!

You have the personality and you have the drive! There’s no way you would’ve gotten your real estate license in the first place if you didn’t have the motivation and work ethic it takes to create a successful business from the ground up.

Don’t beat yourself up too bad if it takes you a second to get your first prospect. The early parts of any career prove to be the best times to ask as many questions as you can from the people you connect with on a daily basis. If you don’t want to go it alone, if your brokerage isn't providing you with the knowledge you need. Schedule a call with me and find out how I am changing the game with my coaching, courses and resources that I provide my team. The best part? You can join from anywhere in the world!

Gain the necessary knowledge during your time as a newbie so when you’re a veteran, the newbies are coming to you for advice on how to run a successful business!
