Did you know there are 4 common mistakes Real Estate Agents make during their careers? Most don't even know they make them. They can cost you millions of dollars, a career, or worse a family.. Read over these and make certain you don't fall prey to any of them.
1. Bad Lead Generation Habits-When you get into the real estate industry you are getting into two businesses. One is the real estate service you provide. The second is finding the people to sell your service to. Many new agents believe that once they get their license clients will begin flocking to them. This just doesn't happen and is the main reason why most agents are out of the business in just 18 months. Another type of agent relies on the company to provide the people to them. What most don't understand is these leads come at a heavy price with the brokerage getting anywhere between 35 to 50% of the total commission. At Keller Williams we want to teach you how to hunt not be to be dependent on the company. That is why we work and train the best talent in the industry. We will teach you the exact lead generation strategies necessary order to attract the clients you need to succeed. Backed by our training and your continous dedication to your personal growth you will quickly become an industry titan.
2. Choosing their brokerage based on the cheapest fees- Let's say you go to the doctor and find out you have a disease that involves surgery. Do you immediately ask "who is the cheapest surgeon I can find?" Or you are involved in a major lawsuit that could cost you thousands of dollars. How would you choose your lawyer? Obvously you want the best surgeon and lawyer you can possibly find. Real estate brokerages should be chosen the same way. Choose the one who offers you the most, training, resources, and support to help you accomplish your goals. By the way if you choose your company because they are the cheapest shop in town odds are your clients will do the same when deciding if they should choose you.
3. Choosing business over family. Real estate is a demanding business. Many agents work long hours, late nights, and weekends. It is easy to get burnt out because the work never seems to end. If you make it through a career in real estate with just one marriage you are probably th the minority. Make the decision early to never let business come before your family. If are taught to lead generate properly and consistently you should have more than enough clients to work with. Having an abundace of potential clients allows you the luxury of choosing who you get the pleasure of serving. Explain to your clients upfront tnat you are a human being and do have a life outside of real estate. If you come across someone who doesn't respect your family obligations then simply tell them you are not a match and would be happy to refer them to another agent who can better suit their needs. No transaction, client, or money is worth losing your family over and the real estate industry is littered with broken family relationships. That is why at Keller Williams we believe God, Family, then Business.
4. Not Hiring a Real Estate Coach. Starting out in real estate is a daunting task. There are a hundred things to get done and sometimes you will feel like you are drinking from a fire hose. Doesn't it make sense to partner with someone who has a proven game plan to help you succeed? Someone who will tell you what you need to know instead of what you want to hear?
