Not to be a downer (because I am an optimist) but did you know that:
- 50% to 80% of new agents get out of the business within 12 months?
Veteran Agents...many are struggling...taking second jobs to wait out the current market.
Below are the February stats for King and Snohomish Counties in Washington State, a state that is supposedly "holding up pretty well". Let's see how February 2008 compared to February 2007...
King County
- Solds: down nearly 27%
- Average Days on Market: Up 20%
Snohomish County
- Solds: down 36%
- Average Days on Market: Up 42%
We know it's a tough market...what are you going to do about it?
I suggest that you can weather this market - any market for that matter - by simply having the right habits. Plain and simple, agents fail only because they have not effectively contacted enough people to generate the business they need.
3 habits to create the success you want:
- Self Discipline - this is without a doubt the most difficult to achieve...you can do it and ask for help if you need it
- A simple doable plan - don't react to the market embrace it and rise to the top
- Take a few steps each day
If you struggle with any one of these thinigs you are not alone. In fact, 85% of the successful agents struggle with at least one of those items.
Here's the key to making it in this market - accountability!
If you struggle with one or all three of the habits I listed above you need someone to hold you accountable, someone who willl guide you and help you develop self discipline, create a simple plan and support and encourage your daily actions.
