In the ever-changing landscape of real estate, market conditions can be as unpredictable as they are promising. As a real estate professional, safeguarding your business in an uncertain market is crucial to surviving and thriving in any economic climate.
Whether it’s a fluctuating economy, unexpected events, or shifts in buyer behavior, here are some strategies to help you navigate the uncertainties of the real estate market.
Diversify Your Services:
Diversifying your services is one of the most effective ways to protect your real estate business. Don’t solely rely on buying and selling homes.
Build a Robust Online Presence:
In today’s digital age, a solid online presence is non-negotiable. Ensure your website is user-friendly, mobile-responsive, and optimized for search engines.
Consider offering property management, real estate investment consulting, or rental services. By expanding your offerings, you can maintain a steady income stream even when traditional home sales slow down.
Engage with your audience through social media platforms and create valuable content that establishes you as an industry authority.
A solid online presence will help you remain visible and attract potential clients, even when the market is uncertain.
Cultivate Client Relationships:
Your clients are your most valuable assets. Nurture these relationships by providing exceptional service and staying in touch regularly.
Send personalized postcards, newsletters, or occasional check-ins to show your clients you care.
Building trust and maintaining strong client relationships can lead to repeat business and referrals, helping you weather market fluctuations.
Stay Informed and Adapt:
Uncertainty often arises from external factors like economic downturns or unforeseen events. Stay informed about local and global economic trends, market conditions, and regulatory changes to safeguard your business. B
e prepared to adapt your strategies as needed. Flexibility and a willingness to pivot when necessary can make a significant difference in your business’s resilience.
Manage Your Finances Wisely:
Proper financial management is essential during uncertain times. Create a budget, save for contingencies, and consider reducing unnecessary expenses.
Ensure that you have a financial cushion to cover your business and personal expenses during periods of reduced income. Consulting with a financial advisor can help you make informed decisions.
Network and Collaborate:
Networking with other real estate professionals and collaborating with complementary businesses can open new opportunities.
Building a network of trusted colleagues can lead to referrals and cooperative marketing efforts that expand your reach, even when the market is challenging.
Focus on Education and Training:
Invest in continuous education and training to stay ahead of industry changes. Learning about emerging technologies, market trends, and innovative sales techniques can give you a competitive edge.
Well-informed agents are better equipped to adapt to changing market conditions.
Safeguarding your real estate business in an uncertain market requires a proactive and adaptable approach. By implementing these strategies, you can position yourself as a resilient and successful real estate professional ready to face any market’s challenges.

Delivering a buyer’s presentation that effectively communicates the new NAR settlement requirements can be challenging.
Still, with the right approach, it can be done in a way that’s both informative and comforting to your clients.
Here’s how to craft a presentation that ensures your buyers feel informed and supported:
1. Start with a Warm Welcome
Begin your presentation by establishing a rapport with your buyers. Highlight your commitment to helping them find their ideal home while ensuring they are fully informed.
Emphasize that your goal is to provide transparency and clarity, particularly with the recent changes in the industry.
2. Simplify the Settlement Overview
Introduce the NAR settlement changes by explaining that the real estate landscape has evolved to offer more transparency and flexibility. Frame the changes positively, mentioning that buyers now have more control over their agents’ compensation.
Use simple language to describe that, in the past, sellers typically covered the commission for both their agent and the buyer’s agent, but now buyers can negotiate and decide how their agent is paid.
The First Time Buyer Postcard Serie and Scheduled Campaign is shown above. To learn more, Click Here.
3. Explain the Written Agreement Requirement
Discuss the new requirement for a written agreement before touring homes.
Position this as a benefit, ensuring all parties are on the same page regarding services and compensation.
Explain that this agreement will clearly outline your services, allowing them to understand precisely what they’re getting and at what cost. Reinforce that this protects their interests and helps avoid surprises later on.
4. Focus on Value
Transition to discussing the value you bring as their agent.
Highlight your expertise, market knowledge, negotiation skills, and commitment to finding them the best home at the best price.
Reassure them that, although they will be directly involved in compensating you, your services are designed to save them time, money, and stress.
5. Invite Questions
Conclude by inviting them to ask questions or express any concerns. Emphasize that you are there to guide them through every step of the process and that their satisfaction is your top priority.
By following this structure, you can deliver a buyer’s presentation that effectively communicates the new NAR settlement requirements, is reassuring, and is client-focused, ensuring your buyers feel confident moving forward.

The fact that 89% of homebuyers say they will use their agent again says a lot about the fantastic job real estate agents do with their clients.
Yet, only 12% of buyers used their former agent when buying another home (NAR).
Weird, isn’t it?
Something happens – or doesn’t – between the closing table and the time your client engages in another real estate transaction.
Let’s cure the disconnect between “first-timer” and “client-for-life.”
Former clients are “warm” contacts
Unlike picking up the phone for cold calling, a call to a former client is like calling a friend.
It is one of the more comfortable tasks in an agent’s business. If they hired you in the past, they clearly know, like, and trust you.
Your only job with these past clients, at least right now, is to remain top-of-mind with them.
Here’s just one reason why:
“Depending on which study you believe and what industry you’re in, acquiring a new customer is anywhere from five to 25 times more expensive than retaining an existing one,” claims Amy Gallo at Harvard Business Review.
Here’s another stat that you may find impressive, “Increasing customer retention rates by 5% increases profits by 25% to 95%”, Frederick F. Reichheld and Phil Schefter, Harvard Business School
The Holiday scheduled campaign is shown above. To learn more, Click Here.
Large and splashy or understated?
Reaching out to former clients doesn’t have to cost a lot or be overly extravagant.
A phone call, a postcard dropped in the mail, or a check-in on social media are all perfectly appropriate ways to get your name back in front of a past client.
Here are a few more inexpensive ways to reach out to former clients:
Put together a quarterly market update and direct mail it to former clients.
Send out birthday, anniversary, and annual home anniversary postcards.
Include them in Just listed/Just sold postcards you’re mailing to announce transactions near your clients’ homes.
Take them out for coffee, cocktails, or lunch.
Naturally, a large and splashy “touch” would be more memorable. These include client appreciation events. The key to a successful client retention strategy is consistency.
The most important part of these conversations
The question used to be, “Who do you know that might be thinking of buying or selling a home?”
Today, the question is best when it’s narrowed down.
If you have read the book Guerrilla Marketing in 30 Days, you are familiar with this concept. In it, Jay Conrad Levinson suggests trying to narrow “… the universe of those you ask.”
Here’s an example:
Marcy is a former client who loves playing tennis. Instead of using the broad question, narrow it down to “Who do you play tennis with who might be thinking of buying or selling a home?”
Instead of combing through her mental database of everyone she knows, her mind turns to the tennis court and her conversations with fellow players.
Former clients most likely want your services when they buy or sell real estate.
Don’t let so much time go by that they forget your name. Reach out and stay in touch with them to stop leaving what should be easy money on the table.

Every year, when the 2024 RealTrends + Tom Ferry “The Thousand” list comes out, it’s topped by an agent who holds the Guinness World Record for home sales.
“He only sells new-construction residential properties and works with volume builders only,” according to Katie Warner at BusinessInsider.com.
On 2024’s list, Ben Caballero had 7012 sides, resulting in $3,638,950,694 in volume – nearly double the volume of the agent in second place.
If you’d like to get in on some of this impressive income, you may want to give new home sales a whirl.
Do you have what it takes?
John Rymer at ProBuilder.com lists traits to look for when hiring a “New-Home Sales Superstar.”
Avid goal setter
Ask the right questions
Financing expert
Passionate about new-home sales
Exudes enthusiasm
Takes responsibility for results
First into the office, last to leave
Perfected the follow-up process
Always showing value
Persistent and fearless closer
If this list sounds like you, selling new construction may just be your dream career.
First, the cons
Let’s get the bad news out of the way up front.
As with the broker under which you choose to hang your license, so goes the builder. Some value ethics and high standards. Others, not so much.
So, choosing the right builder may be challenging.
Then, there is the commission structure, and you may not be making the percentage you are accustomed to.
More often than not, when you sign on to become a new home sales consultant, you are no longer an independent contractor but an employee of the builder.
Naturally, there are other cons, but these are the ones that agents should carefully consider.
The Move Up Market Series is shown above. To learn more, click here.
The pros of working with a builder
The obvious plus of becoming a new home sales consultant is that prospects come to you. No more cold calling and chasing after business.
As an employee, you’ll most likely receive benefits, such as medical and dental.
If being a business owner doesn’t agree with you, but you hope to remain in the industry, becoming a new-home sales consultant may just be a smart move for you.
How to get your foot in the door
Your best bet is to visit a few sites, introduce yourself, and get to know the reps. Don’t be afraid to ask plenty of questions. Everybody has to start somewhere so they may be sympathetic to what you’re going through.
Do some research on your own. Learn all you can about:
The different architectural home styles
Blueprints (and how to read them)
Home construction methods and materials
Site layout and design
“All it takes is a little bit of time for an agent to understand builders — why they do what they do — to reap the rewards the new-home market can deliver,” according to Caballero.

High interest rates and a tight inventory of homes for sale have locked a huge swath of starter home buyers out of the market.
So, it probably comes as no surprise when the media notices that the luxury home market is doing well.
It makes sense when you think about it. A whole pool of buyers can pay cash for a home and, thus, refuse to play the mortgage game.
For instance, luxury homes in Silicon Valley, Seattle, and Nashville, TN are on a tear. In fact, they’re the top three fastest-moving markets in the country.
Advanced Knowledge and Expertise
To attract high-net-worth clients, you need in-depth knowledge of the luxury market, including trends, pricing strategies, and the specific needs of affluent buyers and sellers.
This expertise can be developed through specialized training and certifications, such as the Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS) designation, which provides agents with the tools and strategies necessary to excel in luxury real estate.
Exceptional Networking and Relationship-Building Skills
Success in the luxury market relies heavily on your ability to build and maintain strong relationships with clients, other agents, and industry professionals.
Networking is key, as many luxury transactions are driven by referrals and personal connections. Attending high-end events, joining exclusive clubs, and engaging with affluent communities can help you establish valuable connections.
Marketing Savvy and Resources
Luxury properties require sophisticated and targeted marketing strategies. You need access to high-quality marketing resources, including professional photography, video tours, virtual staging, and access to premium listing platforms.
A strong online presence and the ability to leverage social media effectively are also crucial for reaching a global audience of potential buyers.
Discretion and Professionalism
Clients in the luxury market expect the highest level of professionalism and discretion. Handling sensitive information carefully and providing personalized, white-glove service can set you apart from the competition.
By honing these skills and utilizing the right resources, real estate agents can successfully navigate the luxury market and build a thriving career in this prestigious sector.
