Selling a home as a realtor in 2025 has its challenges. You’ve got the aftermath of COVID still very much present in everyone’s lives as they continue to rebuild wealth.
The housing market can be extremely volatile and can sway due to the changing of societal and economic events that are happening in our own country but across the world.
Being a realtor is not an easy career path, but if you’re driven and have a passion for selling homes, then you’ll do well. How well you do will depend on how effectively you can see a home. With that in mind, here are some helpful tips on how to sell more homes as a realtor in 2025.
As a realtor, it’s often about whom you know and not just about what you know. The people in your circle will be able to help and support you in achieving your dreams as a realtor and vice versa.
So, with that being said, you should be looking to build strong relationships with other realtors and see them more as friends than foes. While you may be in competition with other realtors, it doesn’t mean you can’t help each other out.
Networking is also a great way of meeting people and perhaps even meeting those you’ll work with on listings or those whom you sell their houses for.
Real estate is constantly changing, and what might be the case this year might not be the landscape of real estate in five or ten years time.
Therefore, like any industry or business person, it’s good to do the research and to know what’s hot in real estate right now. From the properties themselves to what’s trending when it comes to marketing in the digital world.
There’s a lot out there to keep up with, which is why having a resource or multiple resources to explore is helpful.
Everything you do as a realtor matters, and that includes your customer service. As a realtor, you’re interacting with many clients on a daily basis and you’re playing a major role in their lifestyle and life decisions in general.
Buying or selling a home isn’t an easy thing to do, and it can be both costly and time-consuming. So when it comes to selecting the right realtor for the job, you want to show proof that you take your job seriously.
Getting testimonials from previous clients is a great way to help boost your prospects. However, that only comes by providing excellent customer service to your current clients.
Look at what you could be doing to make their experience with you as their realtor better. Keep communications up at all times and try not to let the ball slip with any customer you’re interacting with. Using a CRM can be helpful to manage all the clients you have on your books right now.
There are many ways of getting your name and your listings out there, so look at the options both online and offline.
For example, online marketing can be really helpful to get your name out there, especially when you’re willing to dedicate the time to creating content or making use of paid advertising.
Good, old-fashioned fliering is also something worth doing, even nowadays, where everything is digital. It can still be highly effective!
A lot of the success you have when selling a property is its staging and the quality of content you provide to help sell the home.
Virtual staging and providing virtual tours for prospective buyers to look at have proven useful for some realtors looking to sell properties quicker. With the use of virtual staging and virtual tours in particular, you help to bring in more quality buyers who will be more serious about buying the home.
As a realtor, it’s important to get the balance right when it comes to being too salesy or not providing enough of the performance required to help sell a property. When you’re dealing with a client, you don’t want to trick or be too over the top in your intentions or the expectations you promise to deliver on.
Try to be transparent and only deliver what you can guarantee. A lot of the time, the lies and deceit can be seen clearly by the client.
Selling homes as a realtor is a great challenge, but it is one you should take on with both hands this year.
