"Misconceptions and Illusions”

We all have our own opinion with Real Estate Agents and the Industry as well. Let’s characterize facts from opinions in buying or selling a property. There are a lot of critics but we shouldn’t generalize all of the agents when some acts just don't rise to the occasion to serve their clients as expected. In choosing an agent, you need to consider the facts before making a decision. Misconception leads to confusion.

Punctuality is very necessary in being a Real Estate Agent. We should practice this approach in every business especially during appointments for we don’t want our clients to wait for us. Gain your client’s trust by living in their world which means, being always on time. We shouldn’t annoy them by excuses on delays if we want to keep them. Receiving other benefits from affiliates is a BIG NO for a real estate agent because it’s illegal and reputations could be ruined by that putting your license on the line. Real Estate Agents are required to obey instructions, must be loyal and keep their client's best interests ahead of those of any other party including themselves, to disclose material facts to their client, not to disclose anything about your client, their business, financial or personal affairs or motivations, to accurately report all monies pertaining to the transaction and the ultimate disposition, are expected to have a certain level of knowledge and be able to advise and guide your client through the process without harm. A good relationship with a client is very beneficial to increase sales, if we have made a client happy, surely there would be referrals.

Being a Real Estate Agent is not an easy profession, we needed to be knowledgeable and hardworking at all times to survive. We studied to pass the examination in getting our licenses like an ordinary student and that’s though as we have families and needs. We need to earn every month to make ends meet and we are unemployed until someone hires us to sell their properties. DON’T BE CONFUSED BY YOUR MISCONCEPTIONS.

The biggest misconception people have is that quality is all that matters. The truth is that quality helps, but there's a ton of high-quality things that don't go anywhere.
