For new agents in the industry, making your mark can be a long process. How can you foster other people’s trust in your ability to get them the best deals and the best homes? Does it take years, or can you accelerate your reputation and impact?
On this episode, we talk with Casey Menish, who is proof that being new to the industry should never be a hindrance to your success. Casey made a name for herself in real estate despite discouragement from seasoned agents early in her career.
Three Things We Learned From This Episode
Building relationships is important
Having social relationships with clients can help to bolster your professional relationships. Meet for happy hour or small gatherings, rather than huge client appreciation events. By building personal relationships, you’re more likely to keep getting referrals.
You have to stay top-of-mind
While you should be visible to past clients as a friend, make sure they don’t forget you were their agent. From time to time, and on anniversaries of their transactions with you, send them details of the neighborhood they bought in. By reminding them that you are not only their friend, but also their agent, you’ll be the first person they think of when they need to sell their home or buy a new one.
Being easily reachable is crucial
When you’re contacted by a client, respond as soon as you can. Not only is it easy when you have a cellphone with you, it also goes a long way in building a trusting relationship.
In real estate today, it’s important to have a bond with your clients. After all, you’re playing a big role in their lives by finding them a home. Build relationships and stay close with those you work with. You’ll not only have a great social circle, but a loyal client base.
