Question for experienced RE agents

[Ben Biggs]

Hello Everyone,

I'm new in town and Just getting started in Real Estate. I'm about to take the RE exam and I'm mentoring full time with a broker. I'm hot on tapping my own personal network about my upcoming career and I'm asking everyone I know for referrals. This question is meant for experienced agents (5+ years) but anyone is invited to join.

What is the ONE thing you suggest a new agent focus on with all their might starting out? If it's more than one that's fine, getting your overall mindset is the point.

Thanks ;)

Create a marketing plan and stick to it. Focus the marketing plan on your sphere and people you come into contact with. Hit everyone you know with an email once a month, then 2 weeks later with a snail mail piece, and get something physical into their hands every 4 months.

Talk to everyone you possibly can about real estate. The cashier at the store, your waiter at a restaurant...go to every party and social event and talk about real estate.

Seriously...the more I talk about real estate, and to the more people, the more money I make.
