Although many people do not dislike real estate agents, most housing market buyers and sellers are annoyed by some aspects of their experience working with one.
Housing market agents are infamous for being slow in responding to various types of communication. Around 48% of real estate inquiries never get a response.
Many consumers have the impression that their agent is not listening to their needs, whether it is showing buyers homes that are not even close to what they are looking for or sellers who do not realize they have options.
To be on par with today’s consumers, real estate agents must have the ability to harness technology. It involves more than having a smartphone in their pocket.
It also means using solutions for streamlining communications, operations, marketing, and sales, such as digital signatures, an up-to-date website, portal profiles, applications, and social media.
Real estate agents who are successful work unusual and long hours. Few successful agents work “banker hours” Monday through Friday from 8 am to 6 pm or more.
