Aspiring Agent

If you are a new REALTOR® or just getting started in your Real Estate Career, you have limited time to get your name out there to start generating leads.  Because Real Estate Commissions are not paid until properties close, that means you are doing business now that will actually pay you months down the road.

happy businessmanMost successful Real Estate Agents are the ones that do daily lead generation.  Whether they are on the phone or out there in the field, lead generation is paramount for a REALTORS® success.

Every child growing up has a dream of what they would like to be…a Doctor, Dentist, Nurse, Singer and on it goes.

Often, I hear Real Estate Agents complaining they get very few people through their open houses, that they wasted their time and could have been spending time with their friends or family.  Wouldn’t it be great if every time we did an open house, many people turned up to see it?

Walter-Schneider-and-Ken-Goodfellow-150x150I had started to work on this Blog Posting prior to attending a meeting at Re/Max Ontario-Atlantic Canada Inc. Head Office in Toronto. While there, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to listen to one of the founders, Walter Schneider being interviewed by Coach Ken Goodfellow.

It was amazing for me to hear him repeat the words that I had used in my previous post “Selling is a Contact Sport”. We need to get out there and create value.
