A good understanding of communities and the world of the internet, including the robust software solutions available in the real estate industry, will help you supercharge and grow your real estate business in no time. Here are seven things you should do.
Network, hard
It’s impossible to make a dent in the real estate business if no one has heard of you, and taking the time and effort to make a name for yourself and becoming better-known is a sure-fire way to gather clients and to become more trusted. This is a business revolving around trust and people: a human touch is necessary.
Stop fearing and start doing
We’ve all suffered from the equivalent of writer’s block before in the industry, waiting and delaying for that better tomorrow when we feel more ready to tackle the set of tasks ahead of us. This is no way to get ahead in the real estate business: tackling problems head-on and taking the bull by the horns is the only way to grow your real estate business and get ahead of the competition.
Get administrative help
Leaving the matters of spreadsheets, forms, and brackets to someone else will allow you to focus on the key part of the business: sales. The moment you can outsource and streamline the administrative portion of your workload is the moment your results will skyrocket.
Don’t be shy to ask for referrals
It might feel awkward to ask for referrals from clients and colleagues, but this directly ties into the networking portion of this discussion: at the end of the day, you’re in the business of closing sales with people, and anything that moves you in that direction is valuable to you. This includes growing social ties and anything that may increase trust in you, and referrals are an excellent way to secure that.
Don’t shy away when the world is at your feet.

Leverage social media
If you’re not on social media, you’re not alive in the eyes of the internet, and many prospective clients’ eyebrows will be raised if they can’t find you on Facebook or LinkedIn. These platforms also offer you a unique opportunity to enhance your personal brand and profile by using the built-in megaphone provided to share your messages and thoughts with your friends and followers about the industry. Missing out on these powerful tools would be a major mistake for any prospective realtor.
Never stop chasing your leads
Persistence is the name of the game in the real estate business and any lead you stop chasing means percentages and profits lost. Even the smallest chance to close out pans out sometimes and an agent consistently dropping out of potentially fruitful arrangements for a perceived lack of enthusiasm on the client’s side is simply just asking for trouble.
