We know buying the home or commercial property of your dreams is not easy. You need to define what you want and where you want it and then inspect it, negotiate the price and navigate the mortgage process. That is what members of Illinois REALTORS® can do for you. We can advise, guide, counsel and protect you during every aspect of the real estate transaction process.
The future is mobile and REALTORS® need to be able to tell consumers what they do in a concise and clear way. Get better at having an answer for what it is that REALTORS® do and how it benefits your clients.
Stop talking like REALTORS® to consumers. Absorption rates, historically low interest rates, inventory levels and even the stats on how many homes you have sold may not mean that much to consumers.
Take a look around at the real estate industry, do the things that others aren’t and do those things better. Think bigger and give people the “aha” moments they are looking for.
Maintain a profit and loss statement and track where ALL your money is going and the returns on your investments. Cut costs and carefully analyze your budget. Be skeptical of new marketing and lead generation promises that come your way.
Invest in building up the successful relationships you already have. Stay front of mind with consumers so they think of you when it comes to real estate.
The best defense in a market shift is talking to people. Make it a daily habit to reach out and maintain connections.
