10 Strategies to Help You Take Control in the Real Estate Market

Do you feel like it’s time to finally emerge from your cocoon and start taking to the skies of opportunity in real estate? Then why not take in some of the tips and strategies offered by 13 Keller Williams MAPS coaches who have first hand information on how to go from normal to multi-millionaire real estate agents and marketers.

1. Focus on Growth
   If your real estate company or business is still where you were five years ago, then it’s about time you decide to up the ante and go for growth. If you are still uncertain about expanding, try to challenge yourself and think positive. It will also help if you think of the possibilities that you and your business might experience once all the growth implements have arisen.
2. Lead Generation
   Create leads or at least make a decision to allot a specified amount of time for lead generation. The best practice is to spend three hours of your day for lead generation for roughly 200 days. It might be arduous, but the payoff will be good for business.
3. Develop Yourself
   In order for your business to grow, you also need to develop yourself. Don’t let your mind stagnate. Read books, watch insightful television shows and expose yourself to as much positive information as possible
4. Social Media as Relationship Engine
   Don’t treat social media as a lead generator. Instead treat them as a means with which you can ‘woo’ your clients and prospects. Getting customers this way is beneficial in the long haul because it eliminates the need to solicit referrals as social media leads will come more naturally.
5. Review Your Goals
   Make it a habit to spend a few minutes to review your goals and reflect as to whether or not you are on the right track. This has been the downfall of more than one promising real estate marketer. Reassessing where you are right now can help keep things in perspective more than you know.
6. Remove Limiters
   It’s been proven that the only thing that prevents people from reaching their full potential is their belief in themselves. The same principle applies to businesses such as real estate marketing. Removing the limiters such as fear or self doubt will do wonders and bring success.
7. Get a Coach
   Hiring a coach is something that both individuals and businesses should look into. Coaches, especially well-trained ones, are better equipped in giving sage advice which can improve various aspects of your life. Coaches can also be considered as a fresh pair of eyes for projects and ongoing work.
8. Say You Can (And Mean It)
   There are a number of problems that sellers encounter whenever they decide to sell their homes on their own. The most common problems which costs money include poor negotiating skills, unsuitable buyers and legal woes. An agent should be able to say “Yes I Can” to owners for them to give their vote of confidence. Of course you also have to be able to deliver on your promises.
9. Check your Schedule Nightly
   Before going to bed it is important to check for your schedule. If you’re not in the habit of doing this then it would be great if you got started. Checking your schedule when the night ends will help prepare you for what’s coming in a few hours.
10. Make a Steady Commitment on Lead Generation

    Lead generation might just be the most important part of getting business and gaining success. Thus, it is important to have a strong lead generation system. But that’s only half of it. Once you’ve established your lead system you also need to go and make a commitment to yourself to follow through with all your leads. Don’t just wait for them to approach you because chances are that might not happen.
