Going into real estate is a daunting prospect. Learning every aspect of the business while trying to create a marketing plan, find buyers and get yourself off the ground is difficult without a lot of support.
Mentors can help, but another option is to team up with other negotiators or agents. When you share your business with a partner, you can evenly delegate responsibilities and emphasise more on developing your skills as a real estate professional. Not everyone has a good mentor, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find a good real estate team partner.
Here, we share three reasons why agents can double real estate growth by teaming up with another partner:
- Obtain Immediate Credibility
Newcomers can overcome their inexperience in the industry by teaming up with a partner who has related experiences. This creates an impression of an established negotiator and agent to prospective buyers and investors, who are more likely to remember you if you worked closely with your business partner.
Newcomers can search for their ideal partners via iProperty.com Malaysia’s Thursday Learning and Networking Session. It is a morning event of exchanging knowledge and insights with one another over breakfast to assist other real estate members, while connecting members in the industry with some of the respected real estate experts.
- Access to Multiple Mentors
Teaming up allows real estate negotiators and agents to recognise each other's strengths and weaknesses in the business, and sell better. It is important to balance each other out in terms of negotiating and people skills as well as combining both databases. As both partners have their own local expertise, they know the market in their specific areas and will find the best listings to fit their clients.
Through working together, they will assist each other to exceed their goals in sales volume and income. The iProperty.com Malaysia’s AgenTools can serve to further boost your potential business opportunities. You are able to get full access to obtain Newspaper classifieds, For Sale By Owner, Property Wanted by buyers and Co-Agency Opportunities to increase your listings and sell more properties.
- Extensive Marketing Opportunities
Each partner also offers and implements essential marketing tools such as social media, public relations, Search Engine Optimisation and communication. Then, you can share the marketing strategies, skills and expenses with whoever you team up with. When you work with a reliable partner, you will notice the extensive care and consideration on your behalf to get the most desired outcome.
The teaming up process can be seamless with consistent planning and time management. Both partners have to organise and back each other up so their buyers need not have to worry about the availability of time.
In conclusion, partnering with another negotiator and/or agent can take the edge off of a stressful start to your career. It definitely makes it easier to learn the business and you can also enjoy more fun getting associated with the job with a trustworthy partner by your side.
