\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Real estate agents work on commission. To\nmake money, they need efficient means of finding leads, managing appointments,\nand shepherding clients through the purchase process. Productivity is the key\nto being profitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Right Mindset<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Professionals who succeed rely on a range of\nskills. They are great at closing deals, but they are also knowledgeable about\ntheir respective markets and adept at generating leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each name, email address, and like is a\npotential commission or referral. As such, lead generation is the most\nprofitable use of an agent\u2019s time. Top producers eliminate distractions and\ncenter on prospecting for an hour or two each day. Some buy additional time by\nleveraging technology to handle their administrative tasks and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Technology Can Help<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When used correctly, technology can free\nagents to focus on profitable activities, like pounding the pavement for new\nclients. These days, site builders like WordPress make it easy to embed a\nbooking calendar on a contact page in a pre-written blog, social media posts\ncan be published according to a schedule, and a quality CRM can automatically\ncapture leads from listing sites, chats, and emails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, these capabilities are not\nalways provided by brokerages. According to a recent study<\/a> by NAR, the majority of respondents were not\ncompletely satisfied with the technology provided by their broker. Some wanted\npredictive analytics, while others wanted tools for CRM. 25% wanted transaction\nmanagement software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The platform also offers smart contracts, which are\nfaster, more reliable, and less expensive than attorneys and banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Propy promises less time wasted on red tape\nand extra time for networking, guest posting, and attending open houses. For\nmany agents, it may mean the difference between being profitable and just\nscraping by.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
