Skills
Market Knowledge: You need to be an expert in your local market. This means understanding property values, trends, and upcoming developments. I once saw an agent lose a major deal because they weren't aware of a new highway project that would significantly impact the property's value.
Negotiation Skills: This is where the real money is made. You're not just negotiating price, but also terms, conditions, and timelines. I've seen deals saved at the eleventh hour because of an agent's ability to find creative solutions that satisfy both parties.
Networking Abilities: Your network is your net worth in this business. Building and maintaining relationships with property owners, investors, and other professionals is crucial. Some of my biggest deals have come from casual conversations at industry events.
Communication Skills: Clear, effective communication is key. You'll be dealing with everyone from CEOs to maintenance staff, and you need to be able to adapt your communication style accordingly.
