Shifting markets put many agents into a panic mode. Why doesn’t value as an agent change in a bad market? What can you do to be among those who thrive in real estate even when the market experiences a slowdown? And how can you get better attracting the right people? In this episode, Jeneen Moretuzzo Masih talks about how a mindset change can make agents transition from survival mode to thrive mode in a changing market.
You are selling your own value, and your value doesn’t go up and down when the market goes up and down. -Jeneen Moretuzzo Masih
Three Things We Learned
Your value doesn't change no matter what happens to the market
During shifting markets, when everyone is chasing a commission, if you give advice that doesn’t necessarily serve your best interests now but is in the interest of your client, you’re making an investment in a lifetime client. Decisions like these will help you stand out and get more referrals.
You are who you hang out with
The people you hang out with impact your self-image and mindset. If you feel like there aren’t any people in your circle that can help you grow, you have to make a list of desirable characteristics and start searching for people who have them. No matter where you start your search, make sure you listen to what others are saying and analyze their body language. This way, you increase your chances of connecting with them on a deeper level as opposed to simply exchanging business cards.
Be kind to yourself
In the journey to success, many agents end up being too harsh on themselves. But joy is a better fuel than bitterness. It’s very hard for you to make progress when you’re constantly putting yourself down and limiting your fun until you achieve your goals.
When you’re working at a high-level and you get tired, working more and disregarding your fatigue will only make things worse. You have to allow yourself to take a step back and find joy in the process. Search for ways to reward yourself and transform discipline into inspiration. In the end, it’s not about making it perfect, but about making it move forward while being happy with yourself.
