New Real Estate Agent Strategies
New Real Estate Agents need a strategy when coming into the field. I started my real estate journey in January 2021 with Stuart St James, Massachusetts best 100% Commission Brokerage. My broker Darin and recently I collaborated to put together a YouTube video that highlights my new real estate agent strategies. These new real estate agent strategies were a critical part of my decision to join Stuart St James.

Takeaways After Year One
I’ve been in the Real Estate business for a just over a year now. Along the way I’ve learned a great deal about the industry and had a lot of fun. Some of my new real estate agent strategies have worked well. Some have been lessons learned. Everything has resulted in a lot of growth as a new real estate agent and as a human. I’ve met some amazing people and learned a great deal about marketing, negotiating, and real estate technology. Here are some of the key take aways I’d like to share with all new real estate agent.
- Follow up and automation is king – never quit on a lead and set yourself up for success with technology and automation
- It is important to develop long term relationships, not focus on closing transactions
- Lead diversification is critical – don’t rely on one source for your leads
- Develop a personal brand with a website and a variety of social media presences (note: you don’t have to be an influencer if you don’t want to)
- It’s possible to be successful in real estate without a traditional brokerage
- Find what works for you and focus on your strengths
Long Term Strategy
I started my real estate career with a long term strategy. I wanted to do it my way without a ton of oversight or having someone looking over my shoulder. It’s taken me a little longer than I had hoped to start closing a high volume of deals but i planned for this. When I started in real estate I kept my corporate job so I still have some money coming in while I build the business. I also made the decision to align with a brokerage that allows me to work at my own pace and develop my own personal brand and keep 100% of the commissions I earn.
