What’s your top tip for freshly licensed brokers?

Do anything and everything you can to be “active.” I used to preview 20 homes per week when I had no clients. Study and talk about the market, and network with other agents who are successful or going in the right direction. 

What’s one thing you wish every agent knew?

Find out what your ideal clients really want and give it to them … Which is usually not “I’m writing an offer!” posts on social media. Use the 80/20 rule to give tips, information and perspective, then tell them about you or your business.
