How to be Successful in Real Estate?

-
I am often asked "How can I be successful in Real Estate?". As in most things dedication and hard work are important, however proper direction and focus are even more valuable. I have seen many people fail in this business due to misdirection. If you aren't careful you will find yourself working for free or making very little.

Many new Associates get trapped in a team environment where they are robbed of their hard earned Commissions and pay fees for the privilege of having their license with that firm. That isn't all that bad for the 1st year if you are receiving quality training but if you stay much longer than that you are hurting your earning potential.

I have hired several Associates from those types of firms and they can't believe how much more they earn working with us.

What I enjoy most about being a Broker is being able to assist and mentor my Associates and being there for them when an if they need advise. I do really love my job!

To all my Realtor friends feel free to reach out to me if I can help you in any way. You can post in the Blog, email me privately AdvantageRealtyFL@outlook.com or text/talk 863-640-3127.

Educate Your Customer's

I am truly amazed at how many times I've heard stories from other Realtor's about how disloyal their customer's are. Unfortunately they might be part of their own problem??    Please keep in mind that for most of your customers this is most likely a one time deal for them. They really have no clue how the system works and you can save a lot of grief by spending a little time in "educating" them across the board. Here are some talking points that I make sure and cover: If you are working with a buyer that you are working for them essentially for free and that you are compensated in most cases by the sellers. The sellers have a listing contract with their Realtor/Brokerage and the commission is already established within that agreement. So there is nothing to be gained by going around you directly to the listing agent. You need to establish a "relationship" with you're customer. This helps establish loyalty.
