There are two approaches that any new real estate agent should master:
First, relentlessly seek out potential clients in the ‘for sale by owner’ and expired listings market.
People who are selling their own home and people with expired listings are a new realtor’s best friends. The local MLS group can provide you with expired listing information and the newspapers are the place to look for FSBOs. Consistent, determined efforts with these two groups should help you establish a promising cash flow within your first few months as a realtor.
Second, start networking now so clients will begin coming to you.
The key to networking is meeting as many people with industry connections that you can. The following are a few ways to quickly begin a real estate network in your area:
- Become involved in groups that put you in contact with people. Join health clubs, commercial and trade organizations, and any other associations you can make friends in. Go to the meetings, become a part of what is going on. Get yourself noticed by sacrificing time and effort for the organization.
- Create bonds with other agents and industry movers by being present at agency, community, and MLS gatherings.
- Learn your area. Visit the properties on the market, become knowledgeable about different neighborhoods, become familiar with the recent history of the market.
- Rub elbows with big sellers in your community. You can learn a lot from the most successful agents about how the business works in your area.
- Get to know builders and contractors. They are a good source of referrals and the ultimate source of your product.
A quick way to build your reputation in a new area is to offer seminars in real estate to the public. Not only does this introduce people to the complexities of real estate industry, but it also serves as a great way to drum up potential clients who are already familiar with you.
