Get Set, Get Ready - Go in Dallas Real Estate!

 Summary: Thanks to technology, we can do things bigger, faster, and more efficiently in 2013

Is your real estate bag packed, is your laptop working right, are all your documents updated and ready to go? Are you prepared for business in 2013? Utilize the slow time to get focused and prepared for the Dallas real Estate market.

First, set your goals for the year and quantify them.  Whatever your goal is, set reminders and due dates in your calendar. Are your goals realistic? An example would be, “I am going to sell 36 homes in the Collin County real estate or Denton County real estate market in 2013”. 

Secondly, post your goals in plain sight and track your progress.  Is it on your bathroom mirror? Do you have a white board or vision board? Make daily, weekly, and monthly goals that will help you achieve your ultimate goal. Example would be, “I am going to talk to 11 prospects a day” or “I am going to call 10 of my past clients and ask for referrals”.

Lastly make yourself accountable.  Have you shared your goals with friends and family? Ask one of them to be your accountability partner. This will help you stay focused and motivated. If you don’t hit a goal, don’t worry just re-evaluate what you are doing and modify your daily/weekly goal.

Thanks to technology, we can do things bigger, faster, and more efficiently in 2013. At the same time, our clients have come to expect they can buy or sell a home as quickly as they can do a search in Google.  A quick search for Tarrant County real estate will bring up a host of information in just seconds. By being ready and prepared for the unexpected, you will amaze yourself at how easy it is to do more business in 2013.

Here are a few simple rules I follow every day to stay focused, so I can achieve my goals.

1. Set a timer and stick to it

2. Schedule and put events in your calendar with reminders

3. Prioritize what is important daily

4. Tackle your most important task first

5. Setup a routine for reoccurring events
