A real estate agent is an ideal transaction rights custodian on behalf of the seller and the buyer during the buying and selling of a home or a piece of property and all that is on the property, ranging from buildings to vegetation and so on. The success of the real estate agent as a professional is often determined by the bond between the agent and their clients, the word of mouth their old clients spread to the aspiring buyers and the network among different agents. In the digital era, Technology plays a significant role in how this process plays out.

A Negative Legacy from Old Clients

The gospel that old clients spread to the mainstream society plays a significant role in shaping and securing one’s profession. A negative legacy bears a negative product while a positive legacy has sweet and enjoyable fruits. Negative legacy repels potential clients from doing business with the mentioned agent.

Reachability through Social Platforms

Technology has played a significant role in linking the buyer and the agent through platforms such as WhatsApp, Twitter, Facebook and many more social platforms. Technology has played a role since through them, a client can receive data about a property they are interested in buying through images and video records that are shared in real time and portrays the property in its real and natural state. Due to the distance between the agent and clients (either can be located anywhere) the inability of the client to operate this social platform limits access to a variety of deals for the client.

Networking among Agents

A vast and productive network among the agents creates a conducive environment such that one may benefit from other agents’ expertise and knowledge. This is most beneficial in a situation where an agent has a client who wants a property a specific type of property, and that particular agent does not have the specified property. That agent may then link a client to another agent who has such a property.

Availability and Work ethic

The first question that an aspiring agent needs to ask themselves is, am I ready to work for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week? The answer to this question is the exact reflection of what one earns as their net monthly salary. Bearing in mind that agent gathers their salary as a result of accumulative commissions earned from different clients, for one to earn a sustaining pay they need to work extra smart and without waste of any single second.

Interaction with Mainstream Society

An agent needs to have a superb relationship with their society, men and women as well as their neighbors since they are the same as their clients or they may link buyers to them depending on the kind of relationship they have. This relationship is affected by one question that an agent needs to ask them; Do I like people? If no, another question comes in, can I behave like I like them?

Language That One Uses With Clients

The language that some agents approach clients with will determine the acceptance society will give you as an agent and whether they are proud to have you serve them as their agent. This comes hand in hand with the trust they offer you about sales transactions. If one has an abusive language that does not distinguish the age, gender and some other facts about clients, they are most probably going to fail in the career of a real estate agent. The language that one accords their clients reflects the degree of trust the client will accord the agent while working with them.

Real estate agents professionalism is determined by a wide range of factors that change from agent to client, agent to agent and clients to clients. In case the three factors do not come to a consensus, then the career does not pay as expected. For one to defy the odds of invisibility as an agent, they should focus on the above-explained factors from a positive perspective without neglect of any party player or under-looking them.
