How To Be a Successful Real Estate Agent
Published On: July 2, 2018 Posted by: SB Realty
There are many ways one can focus their interests towards being a great real estate agent.
Some of these ways include having a backup income source, getting a mentor or choosing a broker with good training, and ensuring you have access to new technology and internet.
According the thebalancesmb.com, the first recommendation they have for you is to have a backup income source. They say “you should have enough money saved up to make it for at least six months without a commission or keep your day job for a while. Becoming a real estate agent part time may not have been your plan, but you need to have the ability to pay your bills while you get started. Unless you have some family members or friends ready to buy a home, you can go for many months without an income. The majority of agents who fail do so in their first or second year in the business”.
They offer another recommendation specially to “old-timers”. They say that “no matter what some of the “old-timers” may tell you, you need the Internet to market in today’s real estate world. While some with many years in the business can continue to succeed due to referrals and past business over the years, you’ll need to use your website and social networking to get a foothold with today’s buyers and sellers. Budget for a good web presence, though it need not be expensive”.
