Are you feeling stagnant in your career and looking for actionable strategies to help you achieve success? We gleaned this advice from those who advise top-tier real estate agents in North America. Here’s how to succeed as a real estate agent in 2024 and beyond.

Make your clients a priority.

We are aware that work-life balance is a hot topic in society. But if you really want to advance in your real estate profession, you might have to put your clients first. Great customer service, after all, generates great testimonials and recommendations.

So, answer your phone and return texts and emails ASAP. When you are with a client, stay engaged and demonstrate that their transaction is at the top of your mind. Remember details from previous conversations and inform your client immediately if there have been any changes regarding their transaction.

Set goals and targets.

Too often, real estate brokers establish targets for their revenue and give up on the process when they don't reach their targets. Consider again how your goals are judged and what is important to most experts in order to achieve success.

For example, set goals for cold calling or the number of personal interactions you want with community members in a given week. Set goals for social media interactions – or how many community events you will attend each month.

With perseverance and focus, these micro goals will eventually help you achieve your income goals. Just wait and see!

Stay up-to-date with market insights.

Observe developments in the local, state, and national real estate markets. Watch videos, follow blogs, and go to industry gatherings. Become a member of real estate associations and make use of their resources.

You may be an excellent communicator, maintain a professional presence, and offer great insights on staging – but if you don’t stay up-to-date on market insights, you will not be serving your clients well.

Use social media.

Reminding people that you are there for all of their real estate requirements and interacting with them through social media is a terrific technique. There's plenty you can do without spending any money on advertisements.

Social media management may not come naturally to you, but a vast network of freelancers can help you with this marketing task.

Find a mentor.

A few brokerages provide mentorship initiatives. If you're looking for someone to assist you in getting started, this is a great place to start.

However, you can learn a lot about the industry by observing. You already know the best salespeople in your brokerage and your area. Find opportunities to be around these movers and shakers – and soak up their knowledge. You’ll learn a lot by observing best practices.
