2009 is going to be a GREAT year in Real Estate. We just celebrated being profitable EVERY month in 2008, which is an amazing feat considering how many local real estate companies have downsized, merged, or closed. We even profit shared $17,000 back to our agents. Hallelujah!This year, our agents are going to make lots of money. And, they deserve every hard earned penny. Can I get an Amen? Yes!
At a Recent Real Estate Revival, our Agent Leadership Council and I layed out the plan that will put money in our agents' pockets. It's simple. Focus on 3 things: Listings, Investors, and Leadership / Team Building.
It's obvious that agents are shying away from listings because the time it is taking for them to sell and the money involved in marketing them. But, an agent needs a LARGER inventory of listings more than ever right now in order to make a living. What's needed is a high level of training on Pricing correctly, inexpensive marketing campaigns, service plans, stagging, and SCRIPTS to help our sellers understand what's best for them. The more listings an agent has, the more buyers will follow.
2009 is the year to bring the investor back. Build wealth through rentals!
Consumers expect far more from Real Estate agents these days. In order to be profitable, you MUST give it to them. Forming the RIGHT team is the only way to be all and do all. Let your broker help you build a team by finding the right hires for you.
At Keller Williams Birmingham - Vestavia, we're building our BEST year yet! Are you?
