The Cheap Seats

-
Good Monday Morning!
There are many pitfalls in this business however today I'm just addressing one of them:


"GETTING CAUGHT IN THE CHEAP SEATS"


Over the years I have used this term along with the question are you a Wheel Estate Agent?
When you are young and starting out or in an Office that cherry picks referral's feeding the high $$$ ones to office favorites you can get trapped being either one.
I was able to avoid being either by setting myself out right from the start working higher priced properties. If that is what you list that is the type of buyers you will attract.
I am not saying don't sell an occasional Mobile Home or a major fixer upper but make the bulk of your listings high end quality homes. Easier said than done?? Not really, I have a system that I developed and I share that with all my Associates.

In this business image is everything, paint yourself a good one!

Have a great week everyone! Talk with you next week when the topic will be "Realtors Working for Free" 

As always you can reach me direct @ 863-640-3127 (text works best) or email me AdvantageRealtyFL.com I totally enjoy mentoring Real Estate Associates. Advantage is always looking for talented people to join our ranks

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. Through working with them merely share
