I agree that you need to have a specialty…. trying to cover too big of an area or too many types of property can cost a lot of money in marketing and you can spread yourself too thin… Plant the seed in one area/niche and let it from from there

Very well put and this is relatable to just about any industry out there. An established agent with a niche or who works a specific demographic will always have sustainable sucess.

I totally agree. With all the marketing tools at our fingertips, agents need to take time learning in becoming experts at these tools in order to be more competitive in today’s market.

I couldn’t agree more. A great market covers a multitude of sins! Those agents that actually take the time to become experts are the ones who weather the tough times.

There are plenty of agents out there who do the work and become experts . . . these are typically the most successful guys in town. That said, in the days of the bubble, anyone could sell a home. Today, it is much more difficult, and requires greater marketing prowess and understanding of the marketplace. If agents don’t do the work and become experts in all facets of real estate, the market, marketing, etc., they will quickly find themselves looking for a new job.
