Hone your people skills and practice your presentation performance to confidently sell yourself, your services, and your listings.
How Do You Become the Local Expert?
Track local and state housing and demographic data and county politics and events. Get involved in local cultural and charity events and attend HOA and municipal meetings open to the public. Regularly read the city newspaper, weekly papers, and the neighborhood flyers. Sponsor charity functions and festivals, and conduct homebuyer or seller seminars.
How Can You Juggle Everything?
