Building a Successful Real Estate Career: Help Us Start out Right

Levi Dobson
Posted

Hello fellow agents,

I've been doing some research and it seems like there are a million ways to approach this business. I understand that building relationships is key and that it takes time to build a successful career as an agent.

As a new agent, I'm curious to hear from more experienced agents about what you wish you had done differently in the early stages of your career. What actions do you think would have exponentially helped your career growth?

I would love to hear your thoughts and any advice you have for new agents like myself. Let's share our experiences and help each other out in this industry.

Thank you in advance for your input!

    #1.....block from day 1....4 hours....for calling...dedicate yourself to calling....that's the most important thing....and then fill in the gaps around it with your other activities....showing, paperwork, listing appointments.   Be know as the guy who is in the office at 7:30am...preping to start calling at 8am...no meetings, no trainings, no breaks, no coaching, no excuses for 4 hours....That's your habit.  That's what you do, That's who you are.  You're that guy.

    Chances are better to do it in the morning.....probably 8am-12noon.  I hear some people start at 7am, but who wants to talk with a realtor at 7am.  Fight me on that.  Someone will.

    Probably different times could work for the right person, but fewer of those people....you could do 12noon-4pm....or 3p-7pm....but I think that gets tougher...
