The easiest way to grow business? Sell more expensive houses! For the one-hundredth episode of The Real Estate Sales Podcast, Jimmy explains how to sell luxury real estate and how to do it successfully.
1. Choose your farm area
- You’ll want to focus on and become an expert in a specific area.
- Make sure there’s not already a dominant player (someone who takes at least 20% of the available listings within the past year.)
- Make sure there’s plenty of opportunities. If you take just 10% of the business, make sure that is enough to be financially viable.
2. Understand Your Market
- Know every sale that’s happened in the last three or four years.
- Understand the views, locations, and lot sizes.
- If you aren’t prepared, you’re going to miss out on opportunities.
3. Know Tax Consequences
- Know tax codes and understand how much taxes people can write off.
- If you can communicate and add value to someone, you’re viewed not just as a realtor but a consultant.
- If you want to sell more luxury property, you have to be around more luxury sellers.
- Become a familiar face in the luxury neighborhood. Attend fundraisers or activities and be an active participant. That way, the people in the community will feel comfortable with you.
- Do you need professional photos? New videos? Do what you need to to provide the best service.
- Take the things you see people doing well, put your own spin on it, and go for it!
- Attend every single open house and new home preview in the area. Send emails and establish drip campaigns.
- Put effort into your work, and you’ll see people will want to work with you.
