Whether you’re newly licensed, an active entrepreneur, or even a seasoned agent looking to polish up your skills, everyone can benefit from outside advice. What has helped others take their businesses to the next level? How can you build and foster relationships with your clients that stand the test of time?

On this episode, I talk with an agent on my team, Lori Sorensen, about the changes she’s made in her approach. Those changes have brought her great results. In fact, last year alone, Lori had 61 transactions. 

Too often, agents just assume the buyer will see value in them. But we as agents have to actually paint the picture of what they can count on us for. -Greg Harrelson

Takeaways + Tactics

We started this episode talking to Lori’s professional journey. Lori shared the culture shock she experienced when she moved from West Virginia to the Myrtle Beach market. She also discussed how she transitioned from having virtually no competition in West Virginia, and how that changed once she joined The Harrelson Group.

We also discussed:

While real estate is an exciting industry, there is no shortage of agents. Because of this, you have to think about what makes you unique and aim to build relationships. Stop thinking in terms of transactions- that’s short term. Make connections with people and ensure they never forget the value you bring. People buy and sell property all the time: make sure you’re the only agent they consider to help them.
