Clients have a lot of information before they go looking for a professional with a real estate license.  If you want to be the one who gets the business, then you will need to show potential customers that you have information and expertise that they cannot find on the internet. Not only should you know the area and be able to point out the schools, local shopping, entertainment; you should know everything there is to know about a neighborhood or property. Having knowledge of indirect fields that have little to do with your particular expertise is important to being more than just a real estate agent.

The most important thing to remember is that when they answer, you have to really hear what they are saying. The real estate agent that best meets the customer’s needs will have a customer for life.

Always keep your word.

They would say they would call back or take care of something and then not be heard from again. With trust being a crucial part of building your business, keeping your word is necessary to building that trust. If you say you will call, you must call. If you say you will be there, be there on time. If you promise information, you must deliver, and if you cannot, you must let the customer know as soon as possible.
