Everyone starts somewhere, and that couldn’t apply more to real estate. Whether you’re a beginner or a veteran realtor, it’s never too late to set the foundation for a thriving business. In today’s episode of the Real Estate Sales Podcast, Jimmy is joined by Andrew Undem to discuss his foundational principles for real estate success.
Ensure your audience knows you’re a serious real estate professional.
- When he first started real estate, Andrew went on Facebook and sent a direct message to every friend who was online.
- Roughly ten percent of those messages resulted in leads, referrals, and support because they already knew, liked and trusted him.
- Give people value, start a conversation, and they’ll want to help you.
Bring value to other people.
- Ask local business owners or people in the area if there’s a way you can provide value. Even if they say no, this interaction establishes a connection.
- Don’t just talk about real estate; share the stories of your community. People love to be associated with positivity, and sharing stories shows you’re a community leader.
Learn as much as you can.
- Know the real estate process, learn the contracts inside and out, and be an informed agent.
- Don’t just read and move on; learn. Find a mentor or teacher you can ask questions and learn from when you don’t understand a particular practice or document.
Get in the game.
- For Andrew, he did four open houses each weekend.
- While open houses are a great tactic, other strategies can greatly impact your real estate efforts. Try out different things to see what works best for you!
