The Real Estate industry is constantly evolving, and the people who are able to adapt and change with the times are the ones that will be most successful. For many years, the focus has been on training agents to be the best they can be, and creating the best environment for agents to thrive in. However, recent trends in the industry have made it clear that this is no longer enough.

‍

It is still extremely important to focus on training and the environment, but I feel there's 1 thing that I see many agents are lacking in.

‍

What Agents Should Focus On

Being client-centric.

‍

‍

The new emphasis on being client-centric means that agents need to shift their focus to providing an exceptional experience for their clients from start to finish. This requires doing things differently than those needed for traditional real estate transactions, so people who want to stay ahead of the curve need to make sure they are providing great training and an empowering environment, and also adding the focus of being client-centric in their prospecting and appointment flows.

‍

By doing so, they will be better able to serve their clients and continue to grow their business.

‍

It's more important than ever to be client-centric. This means more than just providing good customer service. It's about building a relationship with your clients based on trust and understanding.

‍

How To Be Client-Centric?

That means putting your clients' needs first, and being available to them whenever they need you. It might mean making a simple phone call to check in, or going out of your way to help them with their property search. It's about going the extra mile to make sure they are happy with their purchase, and they are settling in well after the sale is complete. And it's about always being available to answer their questions.

‍

Whatever you do, the goal is to build a strong connection with your clients so that they know they can always count on you. By always putting their needs first, you build a strong foundation for a lasting relationship. When you're client-centric, success will follow.

The Number 1 Problem For Most Agents

In the current market, many Real Estate agents are struggling. They are struggling because they experience the fear of "I don't know what to say" to their clients. This is because they don't have a clear end goal. They are not sure what they want to achieve, and as a result, they are not able to focus their efforts effectively. This can be very frustrating, and it can lead to a lot of wasted time and effort.

‍

Without a goal, it is easy to become bogged down in the day-to-day matters of the career and lose sight of the larger picture. A goal gives you something to strive for, a target to aim for, and a sense of direction. You will be able to focus your efforts and make the most of your time to devote to yourself and your clients.

‍

The problem I see, is that most Real Estate agents don't have a clear end goal. They are just going through the motions, getting sidetracked day after day, hoping that something will eventually turn up. But hope is not a strategy. If you want to be successful in this career, you need to have a clear goal that you are working towards. Otherwise, there's a high chance you'll be stagnant in your career for a long time.

‍

‍

It's my belief that anybody with a clear end goal will be able to focus on the important things for themselves and their clients. Combine this with a client-centric mindset, a strong training system and an empowering environment for all agents, and they will definitely achieve more success in their Real Estate career.
