Here are list of perspective to be successful real estate agent:
1. Attention to Details
While a warm heart will help you with networking, you’ll also need a sharp eye. As a real estate agent, you’ll spend a huge amount of time in the details. Whether you’re comparing housing prices, reviewing the fine print in contracts, or considering your client’s wish list, you’ve got to be comfortable with “the little stuff.” The little stuff is what makes the big picture possible.
2. The Ability to Solve Problems
Every client comes to you with a problem: they need help buying a house, or selling a house. Your job is to solve that problem.
While the problem may be the same, there are different variations that you’ll need to tackle, such as the client’s budget or their “must sell by” timeline. You’ll need to feel comfortable with constantly solving problems - sometimes in ways that aren’t the most obvious or conventional.
3. Self Motivation
As a real estate agent, you’re your own boss. Even if you work under a broker, you’re not actually an employee - you’re likely to be an independent contractor. This basically means that you operate your own small business. For this reason, you need to be self-motivated: no one is going to breath down your neck and make you work. It's entirely up to you.
4. Dedication to Professional Appearance
Coco Chanel once said, “Dress shabbily, they notice the dress. Dress impeccably, they notice the person.” As a real estate agent, not only are you selling real estate, but you’re also selling yourself - and I mean that in the nicest way possible. You must care about how you look because others will. They’ll buy your image before they buy your pitch, so dress accordingly.
