One mindset you need to have when running a real estate business is to be able to detach your emotions and do what you need to do. There are days when you may feel overwhelmed and just want to put off contacting your database and other tasks that will keep your business on track.
A successful realtor has the ability to tune out these emotions and commit to grinding away and staying focused on the goals they’ve set for their business.
Another important tip to remember is to understand that you start at zero every day. A deal done yesterday may give you one day in the future where you get paid. However, that’s it. You still have to start from zero today. A real estate business is one that you can’t just “set and forget.” You need to be active and stay on top of things or you will miss out.
Fortunately, you can control whether you get to end the day above zero. All it entails is to commit to an activity that will yield a positive result. Be it prospecting, talking to customers, networking or working on marketing and branding materials. Every activity you do puts you one step closer to success.
Having the discipline to stick to your activity schedule and not be distracted is the right mindset. You don’t have to work long hours, but you need consistency in doing what needs to be done.
The 8-11 window, where you create a routine that you can do from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM, should help you get closer to your business goals.
While many people think that sticking to the 8-11 window is constricting, doing the boring activities for three hours a day actually gives you the freedom to enjoy the rest of the day. Stay consistent, stay disciplined, and you will be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Open houses are a great way to get your real estate business moving and to increase visibility. When it comes to open houses, preparation is key. You should have all the necessary documents ready so that interested buyers can access them quickly and easily. Additionally, reconnecting with past clients can open up new sales opportunities, especially for those who bought homes during the pandemic and are now looking to upgrade.
For every tactic you do, your top strategy should be to make sure you have a predetermined, planned out, and rehearsed presentation. Whether you’re meeting with buyers or sellers, you should make sure you’re good at presenting your business and services. When potential clients see that you’re confident and knowledgeable, they will be more likely to choose you as their real estate agent.
