Becoming a real estate agent can be the beginning of a very rewarding career. However, getting clients can be tough at first. If you’re new to the industry, you may find that it’s easy to become discouraged and give up. But if you keep at it, building your client roster will become easier and easier! So if you want to know more about this, this blog is for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

For today\u2019s blog, exclusive for our Core members, we will be talking about how real estate agents get clients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Real estate is a competitive business. There are plenty of opportunities to earn your money, but when you’re just getting started as a real estate agent, it can feel like it’s tough to make that first sale. Some agents get discouraged quickly and give up before they ever establish themselves, but that doesn’t have to be the case. Getting started will take some effort. New real estate agents will need to work hard and market themselves to build their client base. So how do you start? The first step is making sure you’re ready for the job. Are you ready for the long hours and stressful situations that come with being an agent? Is your office set up properly so customers can find it easily? Do you have an internet connection in your office? Those are just a few questions worth asking yourself before starting out on your career as an agent. If you’re ready for all of this, then let’s get started!<\/span><\/p>\n

We believe that a strong social media presence is essential to a successful business. We want to help you make your brand as recognizable as possible, so we’ve put together some tips on how to start building your social media presence today. The first thing you need to do is create a consistent brand voice. By using the same language across all of your social platforms, it will be easier for potential customers to find you when they’re ready to buy or sell a home. Next, don’t limit what you post to listings that are only of interest to those active in the market for a new home. <\/span><\/p>\n

Share blog posts on home renovation, home d\u00e9cor, mortgages, and anything else that brings people to your page even when they aren’t in the market for a home. When you have content available to potential clients, your name will be in their minds when they are ready to use an agent to buy or sell. Having a website is another powerful tool\u2014and one that should be used\u2014but it should also include your credentials so potential buyers can find out more about who you are and what services you provide. Make sure you put the work into your website and use keywords that will bring potential buyers back again!<\/span><\/p>\n

Selling your home without a realtor can be tough. It takes longer, it’s more work, and you may even miss out on making some money. But there are ways to sell your home faster\u2014and avoid paying commissions to the real estate agent who sold it for you. The first thing you need to do is set up an online listing for your property. You can do this through sites like Zillow and Trulia, but it’s also okay to use services like RealtorListingPro or Zillow Neighborhoods. <\/span><\/p>\n

Once you’ve got an online listing, start driving through the neighborhoods of your target homes. Make a note of which homes are on the market for less time than others\u2014this can help you figure out which neighborhoods offer the best chance of getting a sale quickly! Next, contact owner representatives for each house that’s been on the market for less time than yours and offer them your services as an agent or broker. If someone accepts your offer, they’ll likely want some details about how much experience you have selling homes at this price range (or in this neighborhood).<\/span><\/p>\n

Your new profession isn’t going to take off if you don’t let the people in your life know about it. Make sure you’re reaching out to people who are in the real estate business, and aren’t just friends or family members. Just because you want to be an agent doesn’t mean that everyone does. Your neighbors may not be interested in real estate, but they may know someone who is! If someone says they’re not interested, don’t take it personally\u2014it’s not personal! Just move on to the next person on your list. If this is something you have a passion for, then there’s no time like the present to begin making connections with potential clients and clients themselves. Start by asking around at work (or finding out where others go when they need help buying or selling a house). Reach out to neighbors and co-workers who seem like they might be interested in real estate and let them know that you’re available for any questions they might have!<\/span><\/p>\n

When you first start out as a real estate agent, you’ll probably spend most of your time on leads. And when we say “leads,” we mean walk-ins. Walk-ins are great when they’re coming in with clients, but they can also be an endless source of frustration if they’re not\u2014and they’re not because they don’t know the name of the real estate agent who works there. That’s where a brokerage comes in: You don’t have to go through the trouble of calling around for appointments for yourself and then trying to schedule them for your clients. <\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, you get to just sit back and wait for clients who need help finding a place to live or selling their homes! There are many different types of real estate brokerages out there\u2014some offer only one type of service (like selling houses), and others offer multiple services (like buying houses). If you want to work with an agency that offers all kinds of services, talk to your potential employer about which ones they provide and how often they provide them.<\/span><\/p>\n
