  • Feeling Stuck in Real Estate?

There’s a lot of conversation in real estate right now about Agents feeling stuck:

Whether they feel like they’ve hit a ceiling on their commission,

or,

They’re a part of a brokerage that’s all “turn your business into a business” and no “we care and want to support you”,

or,

Maybe the current market is offering challenges that they can’t seem to overcome, and so they are turning to Google spiral searching trying to find an answer,

or,

They feel like they are on their own little island by themselves, and they’re about to drown,

or,

They just aren’t making what they want to make or meeting the people they want to meet.

It’s running rampant right now, and if you relate to any of these examples, we want you to know that we see you!

Here are some suggestions for if you’re feeling stuck!

Get a mentor

Having someone to walk alongside you in the sales process (and someone with lots of experience) is something that can give you a fresh start in your real estate work. 
 
Find someone who has seen a variety of circumstances and has worked with all kinds of clients. Get regularly scheduled meetings and accountability on the calendar and be sure to set up times where you can shadow them as well.
 
Humble brag here, but The Local Element has this BUILT IN to our brokerage model. Mentorship is easily accessible here and we hold accountability meetings and in-person trainings every single week. JOIN US HERE!
 

Transfer brokerages

If you’re feeling stuck, this might mean that it’s time to explore your options. 

You might be feeling stuck simply because you haven’t found your place or your people.

We have a straightforward guide to transferring brokerages HERE that can help you walk through the process. (And if you want to see what The Local Element is all about, ask us about coming to one of our training meetings – everyone’s welcome – and our easy transfer process).

Try out a new niche

Maybe you’ve been targeting families for a while, and you’re feeling like your customer base is slowing down for a variety of reasons. Maybe you want to meet more downsizing clients, but you keep hitting roadblocks. Maybe you’ve been working with anyone and everyone and have never nailed down a niche. 
 
If you’re resonating with any of these, then this is your sign to try something new and find a niche that you’re passionate about!
 
Then, put yourself in your ideal clients’ shoes and think about where they hang out on the daily (whether that’s in person or online!)

The best piece of advice we can give you when you’re feeling stuck in real estate is to be a part of a brokerage that truly cares. 

We are always welcoming new faces at The Local Element, and we pride ourselves on caring deeply for both our community and our community of Agents.
