Curious about your power as a real estate agent? We’ve identified four types of “powers” agents have.
Figure out which of the following agents you are, and, for maximum success, combine your strengths with traits of the other agents so you can be a “super agent!”
Who is a lovable agent? You might be a lovable agent if these describe you:
Why do customers work with them? Because they like them.
Favorite Quote: “I love working with you!”
How to Succeed if You’re a Lovable Agent: Make a lot of connections using your likeability. Chances are, you’ll often reach out to your sphere of influence for business. Being relatable is your edge, so cultivate that advantage. Stay in touch with all your friends, and leverage those friendships into referrals.
Who is a confident agent? You might be a confident agent if these describe you:
Why do customers work with them? Because of their infectious confidence.
Favorite Quote: “I can do it. Let’s get started.”
How to Succeed if You’re a Confident Agent: Embrace your confidence. The more you embrace it, the more you’ll have. But, be careful to ensure that your client doesn’t think that you’re too confident. If you feel like people are intimidated by your confidence, tone it down a little bit. Make sure that you put your client’s wants before your own.
Who is a nerd agent? You might be a nerd agent if these describe you:
Why do customers work with them? Because they back up their assertions with facts. Plus, they often have data that sells customers on working with them.
Favorite Quote: Here’s why I can sell your home for 5-6% more money.
How to Succeed if You’re a Nerd Agent: Despite knowing a lot, make sure you don’t swamp your client with too many facts. If you do this, you may come across like a know-it-all.
Make sure you present the necessary facts and only reveal other things when asked.
Who is a respected agent? You might be a respected agent if these describe you:
Why do customers work with them? Because of their reputation for providing great customer service.
Favorite Quote: It’s always a pleasure to serve you.
How to Succeed if You’re a Respected Agent: Keep on providing great service!
Keep in touch with all of your past clients. Always take the high road. Make sure you don’t taint your reputation. Don’t pull others down just to stay on top of your game. Instead, work on improving yourself.
This agent is someone who has two or more of these powers.
For example, a lot of the Respected Agents are also Loveble Agents.
Another example is a Confident Agent who develops some of the Nerd Agent’s Power. Then, they have data to back up their confidence.
