Real estate is a competitive field. You need drive, ambition, connections, intelligence, people skills, and a little bit of luck to make a full time income from it. That being said, there is a learning curve for beginners (like all jobs), and things that you’ll need to avoid doing in order to be successful. Check out this post by Xavier de Buck at Immoafrica for what you should never do as a new agent:
-Never avoid confrontation- accept that it will be a part of your daily life, learn how to negotiate smoothly.
-Never assume perfect circumstances- each client you deal with will be completely unique.
-Never stop educating yourself on the newest developments in the market.
-Never skimp on marketing!
