Meka E. | SC Real Estate :
I helped 23 families my first year as a Realtor. I don’t have to convince anyone to buy a house. Most of my buyers never knew who I was before I sold them their house. Their main concern is their personal situation. In business I always say find the ppl with the problem and be the solution. I don’t cold call or door knock. I did become a part of a great brokerage and everyone I meet I act as if they are already my friend, we build a connection, they trust me and buy. Also Put God first .

I threaten to quit all the time. Probably never will though. Once repeat and Referal business kicks in it gets easier on the “sales” side and it transitions more to providing excellent service. I’m on year 21 of what is likely a lifetime sentence at this point! 😂

Alan Ruiz AZ Real Estate Agent :
It really is a grind. What I realized, especially after doing 200 open houses, is that you cannot help everyone. You are not going to connect with everyone, and that is okay. Not every person is meant to be your client. What changed everything for me was shifting to a place of value and real care. A lot of the training I got when I was on a team was very sales heavy. But the truth is, people do not care what you know until they know that you care. Once I leaned into that, I started connecting with people way more naturally, and the whole process felt better. This is a long game industry. It takes a ton of time and consistency to build, but once it clicks, the payoff is big. And honestly, the impact you get to have on people’s lives is what makes it so rewarding.

Monica | Bringing You Home :
I love only selling 6-12 homes a year referral only along with building relationships with other agents and sending out referrals. I get to slow down and treat each client like family. I serve more than sell. I also help people create lived in spaces and a lot of my clients are real estate clients

My first year I did 29 deals. I never made a cold call and only used paid leads for a very short time.

It takes years to develop clientele. It’s an upfront time investment for a later pay off.

Early in my sales career as a funeral:cemetery planner our coach would say go out everyday to see the people because they sure ain’t going to walk in asking for cemetery plans. Applies to all outside sales. 👍

Thanks for your honesty! This is an incredibly hard job. It’s not about being salesy- it’s building relationships and being genuine. It also takes time

about halfway through when you said that you didn’t get to”serve people “… would be the reason it did not work out for you. My second sale over 20 years ago I learned that if mama don’t like the kitchen, they ain’t buying the house. Since then I’ve got one goal is to serve my client and put their needs above even my own. I’ve done pretty dang good I guess.

I agree! I totally hate it when I thought I’d love it. I used my license to buy my own home and to sell some of my properties but it ain’t worth the monthly brokerage fees and mls fees. Other realtors are incredibly egotistical too. Not interested in being friendly either in my older age. So I’d rather do something else. Not a failure just not interested.
