Tips on how to become a successful realtor

Now we live in crisis time with unemployment, low salaries, jumping like an abnormal, dollar rate, high prices and a standing real estate market.

But sooner or later, any crisis ends, so it's time to start thinking about your future.

Real estate sale is a profitable and interesting profession, so today we will talk about how is becoming a successful realtor .

It is likely that one of my readers can make a successful career in this field.

How did my mom's girlfriend become a successful realtor?

I'm not too competent in matters of buying and selling real estate, so the profession of a realtor has always seemed to me not very difficult, but incredibly interesting.

You have a free schedule, you constantly get acquainted with new people, you visit beautiful houses and apartments, always on the move. In addition, it is enough to sell one big house and you can live peacefully for several weeks.

But subconsciously, I realized that my ideas are far from the truth, so I decided to talk with Aunt Luda, my mother's girlfriend.

She became a realtor absolutely unexpected even for herself, having a philological education. In the 1990s, it suddenly turned out that the teacher's salary would not be too much for you, especially if you have a small child and a goat husband who ran away from alimony.

Investments in real estate!

Aunt Luda was ready to settle anywhere, just to pay. Something she liked the owner of the real estate agency, and he decided to give her a chance.

Aunt Lyuda says that at first it was difficult: to master a new profession, to have an unstable schedule, to compete with young girls who were wary of looking at a grown-up aunt, etc. But gradually she got involved and even fell in love with her work.

For 10 years, it has become one of the most successful realtors of the city and continues to do so.

What should be a successful realtor?

In any profession it is easier to succeed if you have certain traits.

You can acquire special knowledge, you can learn to do something, but if you are psychologically unable to cope with work, if you do not have the same soft skills that we mentioned earlier, then the best of the best will not work.

To become a successful realtor, you need:

1. To be communicative , because sociability is one of your main trump cards.

2. To be able to like people.

   If customers are uncomfortable in your presence, then who wants to deal with such a realtor?

3. It's always beautiful to look.

   Here you would have entrusted yourself to sell the house a value of $ 100,000 to a dirty, unshaven creature with dirty nails and hair wrapped in some formless rag?

4. Speak competently and beautifully.

   "Shokannya", "hakannya", surzhik, sleng, mats( this is an extreme, but who knows you) literally scream about bad education, lack of culture and unprofessionalism.

5. To be able to persuade.

   Some people always doubt what kind of yogurt they buy, strawberry or peach, what to say about real estate.

   Often the realtor should find the right arguments to convince the doubting customer to make a purchase.

6. Learn how to drive a car , because you have to dodge, both in the city, and in the field and on public transport, this is simply impossible.

   Do you have a phobia of driving a car? Do better than others.

7. Be confident in what you say.

   If buyers doubt your words or they will be able to confuse you, then you can say goodbye to your interest from the sale.

What prevents you from becoming a successful realtor and how to get rid of it?

Aunt Lyuda recalled how many girls and women tried their hand at selling real estate.

They studied, tried, took over the experience of older colleagues who told them, how to become a successful realtor , but nothing happened.

No deals were made, there was no interest, they had to choose another profession.

And the thing is that in addition to the availability of qualities, knowledge and skills, a successful realtor should get rid of ballast:

1. Uncertainty in their abilities.

   For every trade you have to come with full confidence in its successful completion, and not with sour physic "oh, why do I show you all this, you still do not buy anything".

2. Shyness.

   If you are embarrassed in the presence of people, go to the production or warehouse, and not into real estate.

3. Impudence, rudeness, swagger.

   As for me, these qualities in general in any profession are not needed, and even more so - a realtor.

How to become a successful realtor, working alone or on an agency?

After you have exactly decided that you want to work as a realtor, you should decide whether you will work independently or ask for a wing in a real estate agency.

If you have never worked in this field, you should not even think about acting on your own.

With a newcomer without an agency, no one will have business, so you will wait for clients until the second coming.

Work in the real estate agency has several advantages:

• you are only dealing with customers, and all the problems with the preparation of accompanying documents are assumed by the agency;
• you are protected from inadequate customers;
• you do not deal with tax, all taxes for you are paid by the employer.

Aunt Luda recommends thinking about self-employment as a realtor only after acquiring a good experience and then, if you have an entrepreneurial vein.

When choosing an agency,

• how many years it works in the market;
• how much good reputation has in your city;
• what are the conditions of the realtor work in it;
• where it is located, because no client will want to go to hell every time, but turn to a company that is located somewhere in the center;
• how many realtors work in the agency: if employees are more than customers, then simply will sit without work.
