Being a good estate agent mostly comes down to having high-quality communication skills. You have to be able to interact effectively between your client, the seller and the potential buyer in order to make a deal. If you are planning to start an estate agents business, you must be friendly and approachable but also confident and able to stand your ground. Can you do quite large mental calculations and think quickly on your feet? It is also important that you have a thorough knowledge of property prices so that you are able to give your clients good and honest advice about what they are dealing with.
Setting up a business as an estate agent is different from perhaps most types of organisation, as the agent is not advertising and selling something that belongs to them but they are representing the property owner. In other words, they act as a medium between the owner and the potential buyer as they persuade the customer to invest in the property using a variety of skills.
At present, it is not a requirement that estate agents hold any formal qualifications or higher education. However, it does not hurt to have either of these as if you handle your clients poorly, they may think twice about coming back to you, and any bad mouthing can damage your business.
However, like all other areas of online and traditional business, the first and often the most important thing you can do is formulate a business plan. This should include your ideas for the future of your business and what type of properties you wish to cater for, such as luxury penthouses, commercial properties or another part of the market.
A great tip, especially if you are thinking about operating your business from home, is to set up online banking, which will give you quick access to all your money and can allow for easy transfers.
There are many sample estate agent business plans available to view online and give you a helping hand if you are having trouble starting your own.
Once you have identified your target market, you can then start to figure out the seller�s requirements. These are usual very simple; they want their property to be marketed quickly and for any financial arrangements to be managed without any hassle.
A business�s overall image is a factor that is worth putting a great deal of thought into as it is important to be able to catch the eyes of your potential sellers and buyers. This means investing in a brand for your company that includes a strong corporate identity, a logo and a colour scheme that will run across all of your correspondence as well as featuring prominently on your website.
In conclusion, it is meticulous planning that will ensure that you are as best-prepared as possible for when you open your doors as an estate agent. You should make sure you do not underestimate the power of the internet; a medium that will offer you stronger connections to your customers as well as more effective marketing.
