Life as an Agent

Ok, let's get the hard part out of the way right now. Prospecting is the single most crucial element in the business and it's the hardest part for most agents. Prospecting can be done in a number of ways canvassing, bulk mailing, using a sphere of influence contact system, working a farm, sitting open houses, taking floor time, handing out lots of business cards, working the internet, and more. The important thing to realize, up front, is that it's not easy and yet it must be done if you're going to succeed in this business. Below is just an idea of some of the activities do, more or less, on a daily basis:

· Touring new listings, previewing homes, generally learning and keeping informed on what's happening in your market area.

· Learning new techniques and skills, or staying abreast of real estate related laws and issues, through training classes and formal course work.  Most states also have continuing education requirements.

· You might be taking floor time or sitting open houses.

· Doing market evaluations on homes and listing presentations to prospective home sellers.

· Showing homes to prospective home buyers.

· Preparing contracts for purchase and presenting offers for buyers, or offers from others to your sellers.

· Doing follow up work on contracts, working with mortgage brokers and lenders, appraisers, home inspectors, home warranty companies, and attorneys.

· Attending closings with your clients and hopefully lots of them.
