When people ask what my advice is for new real estate agents who want to find their footing in the luxury real estate space:
⚡️ Learn the luxury market by going to see it.
💡 Build rapport with your agent peers.
One of the quickest, easiest, and cheapest ways for new agents to gain immediate luxury real estate experience is by previewing the luxury home inventory. Consistently and constantly visiting new listings through scheduled broker opens and open houses will take your career and the services you provide your clients to the next level.
When a new lux listing hits the market in a community you’ve never been in, don’t be afraid to set up a preview. (Never pretend that you have a buyer when you do this by the way. Just ask the listing agent if they would mind if you can book-end another scheduled showing and if they say no, ask if they’re doing a brokers open. It doesn’t hurt to ask guys!)
The time you invest in going to go see that new home *and* meet the agent on the other side of the deal in person will pay you back tenfold over the course of your career. Guarantee it.
And for what it’s worth — I preview homes (any homes!) any chance I get. 💗🍋 This listing is a $30m+ beauty that a friend has listed in Seminole for example.
