There are nearly 2 million real estate agents in the U.S. Imagine this: go online right now, post on Facebook that you’re looking for a real estate agent, and watch how quickly the responses pour in. For many, real estate agents can sometimes be compared to the sleazy car salesman you see in movies. Unfortunately, a few bad apples do exist. In fact, only 13% of agents make it through the first five years in the business. With so many options, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed when choosing the right one.
So, when you’re looking for your next realtor, ask yourself: What does this person bring to the table? Every realtor should offer something unique, whether it’s a level of experience, specific expertise, or simply a strong relationship. Personally,
I was fortunate to have experience flipping, renting, and selling my own homes for several years before becoming a full-time realtor. This gave me the confidence to reach out to my friends, family, and community. (And now, EVERYONE is buying from me! Just kidding, haha.)
But seriously, being a realtor has shown me that this business is all about knowing, liking, and trusting one another. My relationships are built on trust, and I’m proud to say that 100% of my business this year has come from people who knew me or were referred to me. That trust, which started even before I had the experience or expertise, is something I’m truly thankful for.
Even when I didn’t know what the hell I was doing, people believed in me and trusted that I’d do the right thing. So, THANK YOU for your continued trust and support!
