How to Get Listings in a Tight Market

This week I had a conversation with one of my listeners about how tough it is to get listings and become a listing agent in the tight market that we have right now. Is the struggle worth it? Does it even make financial sense? In this episode, I’m going to give you a pep talk about becoming a listing agent and help you build your confidence and believe that you are a listing agent. Listen in and then join me on the Facebook group to continue the conversation!

It’s not a listing appointment, it’s a listening appointment!

Many Realtors experience some level of anxiety around creating and delivering a listing presentation. You can take the stress out of that appointment by listening instead of presenting. In this episode, I’ll explain how that works and how you can get a free copy of the questions that I use to create meaningful conversation during a listing appointment. If you want to build your confidence, find out how to get listings, and enjoy your listing appointments, you want to listen to this podcast!

Do I have to be an extrovert to succeed as a listing agent?

Personality definitely plays a part in how you run your Real Estate business. But you do not have to be an extrovert like me in order to succeed. In this episode, I’ll talk about how working as a listing agent might look different for introverts and extroverts, but how they can both be successful. If you’re concerned that your personality might get in the way of being a great listing agent, listen to this episode and be encouraged.

Determine Real Estate activities by looking at your time, your money, and your personality

Are there things you think you “should” be doing, but they don’t appeal to you? Activities that help you get listings are not “one size fits all.” In this episode, I’ll explain how to look at the mix of your available time and money as well as your personality, and determine which activities will be the most effective for your business. Listen to this podcast to find out how to get listings in a way that works best for you.
