One of the BIGGEST mistakes Estate Agents make...

One of the biggest mistakes estate agents make is not staying in touch with past buyers. Half of your buyers that bought in 2022 will move within 6 years and 18 weeks ( Land Registry Figures) Surveys around the world show consistently that upto 9 out of 10 homebuyers would use the agent they bought their house off to sell it in the future ( when asked after just moving in) So why do only 1 on 8 buyers use the same agent they bought off when they came to sell a few years later?

Estate Agents: The One Thing You Need To Do In 2023 To Be Successful

  #1 thing Estate Agents have to do in 2023👇 In this 2023 property market, compared to 2022, the one big change is the time between listing and selling a property has increased from a few weeks to nearly a couple of months So if you've got a market where the time it takes has at least doubled and nearly tripled to find a buyer, then you're going to have an increasing cost while you're marketing. So therefore, getting to your seller quicker to get an adjustment in price and using the secret weapon of ‘property market stats’ as your ammunition to educate your seller, the more successful you will be If you can get the property into that ‘sell price zone’ faster, you'll find a buyer and therefore the faster you'll help your vendor move and get paid your commission which is what we need to be doing. You do not want sticky stock (Sticky Stock - Properties on the market that are sitting on the market not getting viewings and offers) You need to educate your sellers of the...

Uncovering the Dark Side of Bragging in the Estate Agency Business: Why it's Costing You Listings and Reputation

The estate agency business is a competitive industry, and with the rise of technology and social media, it's never been easier for agents to reach a wider audience and showcase their properties. However, with this newfound power comes great responsibility, and estate agents must be mindful of how they present themselves and their businesses online. One common mistake that many agents make is bragging about their market share and their business on social media. They post pictures of their latest sales, boast about their extensive network and client base, and run their competitors down. While this might seem like a way to massage their ego and show off their success, it actually has the opposite effect and puts people off using their services. No other professionals in any other industry feel the need to brag about their market share and success on social media. Estate agents should take note of this and ask themselves why they feel the need to do so. The answer is simple: bragging a...

Breaking the Work Obsession: Understanding Why Some Men Judge Each Other Through Their Jobs

Men have long been obsessed with their work. For many, it is not just a source of income but a major source of identity and self-worth. Why is this the case and why work has come to define men so much? Moreover, why do other men judge each other through their jobs, and the impact this has on their self-esteem and overall well-being? One of the main reasons for this obsession is the societal pressure to be successful and to provide for one's family.

Additionally, the competitive nature of the corporate world has only intensified this pressure, leading many men to judge each other based on their job titles, salaries, and other external markers of success. However, this obsession with work is not limited to the corporate world. Even in blu...
