The real estate business is constantly evolving, and it’s
critical to keep learning. We also need to recognize the value of
creating a bond with our clients. How do we remain high-performing?
How do soft skills impact our sales? What is our role in mediating
information?
In this episode, Robyn Burdett shares how we can improve our
performance and client relationships in real estate.
Three Things We Learned
Finding your
why
To stay excited about real estate,
we need to have a vision bigger than ourselves and a reason for
doing what we do. Our reasons can be personal or professional, as
long as they are important to us. Once we know what we are doing it
for, we become mentally invested, and it’s easier to maintain high
performance.
How to sell through listening
We are
not typically taught how to understand body language and work with
different personality types. Learn to listen and form a bond with
people in order to make successful sales.
Share the right information
Our
relationship with clients has changed with increased access to
information through the internet. There is too much information out
there for people to focus on, or to know what works and what
doesn’t. We used to be the information brokers, and now it’s our
job to make sure the clients get the right information.
Being an agent today means working with people in new ways and being ready to adapt. Information is readily available online and digital marketing plays an important role, but we need to be able to focus on and share the most valuable information with our clients while also building a meaningful relationship with them. When we pay this extra attention to our clients, we are better equipped to do our job well and increase our sphere of influence.
