How to Become a More Effective Naperville REALTOR®?
Follow a system
You have probably read The 7 Habits of Highly
Effective People by Stephen Covey.
In real estate, just like in any other
fields, there are also highly effective habits to cultivate and it makes all
the difference between a good real estate agent and a top-performing REALTOR®.
Becoming a good real estate agent is not
easy. More so if you want to become a REALTOR®. There are already many amazing
REALTORS® in Naperville, so if you want to become one, you have to brush up on
your skills and develop the habits highly successful REALTORS® do.
I have been following these habits myself and
over the years and have noticed the difference it made in my performance as a
REALTOR®. If you are an aspiring Naperville REALTOR®, these tips will set you
apart and give you an edge over your competition.
Know the habits
Here are the top 6 habits you should develop
to become a successful real estate agent.
1. Always set goals. Like the famous words of
the Cheshire cat in Alice and Wonderful, “It doesn’t matter where you go if you
don’t know where you are going”, you need to set your eyes on the goal and work
towards it because it will help you have the drive and determination to stay
focused.
2. Exceptional communication skills. This refers
to more than being able to answer clients’ queries and pacify concerns.
It means being available to talk anytime the
client needs assistance. It means answering calls at 10pm and staying on the
phone until issues have been resolved. It means answering emails on the same
day.
All this means a lot to clients because you
are making them feel like they are your only client. It makes them feel
important and that you really value them.
3. Be Tech savvy! - Technology is constantly
developing and as professionals, we should be keeping ourselves updated with
the latest technology and tools to use in client interaction.
Social media has exploded in the last five
years and its use has a great impact on real estate marketing. Successful real
estate agents know how to use the latest tools and gadgets to their clients’
benefits.
4. Constantly study the market. While other
agents have stopped learning about the Naperville real estate market thinking they
already know everything they need to know, the truly successful ones are
constantly keeping up with the market changes.
You need to have an intimate knowledge of the
market until you’ve become “the neighborhood expert”. Be the REALTOR® who knows
the latest Naperville homes for sale, the homes that that have been recently
sold and how much they were sold for.
5. Make networking a top priority. Aside from
taking care of clients, another habit you should be constantly working on is
creating a great network.
I don’t mean spending a lot of time at
parties or social events to meet people. I mean getting to know the people
around you well, like the barista in the coffee shop you frequent for example,
and the owner of your favorite restaurant, so you are the first person they
will give a referral to, in case they know someone who’s looking for a
Naperville home to buy or sell.
Of course, there are some people you need to
develop a solid relationship with, like lenders, insurance providers, and
contractors. Take care of your network with these people for they will yield
good results in the long run.
6. Treat each client like a multi-million dollar
client. When you are just starting, you want to impress each client and do a
good job. This should always be the attitude of a real estate agent.
Clients stand by agents when they know the
agents are taking care of them and doing their best, and in return you will be
given references and referred to everyone they know.
Treat your clients like multi-million dollar
clients and they will take care of you
in return.
Strive to incorporate these habits into your
daily life. As one of Naperville’s top REALTORS®, I have seen the benefits of
putting these concepts into practice, and I am truly thankful for that.
