By the time you read this, January 2022 will be in the books  One twelfth of the year is gone!

So here is a question for you: have you achieved one twelfth of your 2022 financial goals?

If you haven’t, then maybe you need to take a look at how you are getting business.  You’ll find that the following three articles will disclose some of the secrets of successful real estate agents.

As agents we need a consistent, steady, reliable source of new business.  That means that you MUST have processes and systems in place to locate, nurture and service new people who want to buy and/or sell houses.

Towards that end, please read this EXCELLENT article that I found that offers 19 Tips for Real Estate Prospecting.

If you are thinking of working a farm, then check this article out:

https://fitsmallbusiness.com/real-estate-farming/. It’s titled “A Beginners Guide to Real Estate Farming 2020”.  But, it’s worth reading even if you already have a farm, and even though it’s 2022.

The central idea behind all of these articles is that you need to do something to be continually keep your “pipeline” full of people who may want to do a real estate transaction in the near future.

Some of these folks will probably not do a transaction or maybe they will but not with you.  You still need to have them in your pipeline and work with them to move them along in the process.  Things change for people so, their situations can change overnight.  Unless you have a crystal ball don’t discount anyone or overly expect that someone is a slam dunk. Some of the people in your pipeline will do a transaction with you, and some of those transactions will close, but probably not all of them will close.

It’s because of these dropouts that your pipeline has to be full of prospects moving in your direction.  If you are continually counting on that “one” transaction to close, your income will have peaks and valleys.  Unfortunately, your bills keep relentlessly coming in even if your income doesn’t!

So, read the articles and pick one of the methods that you can commit to doing and then do it … every damn day that you work.  And don’t stop!
