Listen Later

The real estate market is currently in the space between a good market and an inevitable downturn, and this can be a scary time to be a new agent coming into the industry. However, downturns are actually a good time to get into the business. What are the most important skills new agents need to have during this time? How can teams help new agents transition into the industry more smoothly? On this episode, broker/owner Aaron Fox, shares on leadership lessons he learned from coming into the business during the downturn. 

If you’re not budgeting, setting up a business plan or working in the right environment, you’re not going to be successful. -Aaron Fox 

Takeaways + Tactics 

  • The downturn forced agents to go the extra mile to retain clients and get referrals. We learned better skills and improved our services, and this is why downturns can be the perfect opportunity to gain market share. 

  • Offering a compelling value package to agents is what will help us attract the best talent to our teams. The things that make an impact to our value package is environment, services and compensation.

  • Being a team leader with experience as a top producer bring a lot more value to the table, and it allows us to lead not from a place of philosophy, but from experience. 
  • At the start of the show, Aaron shared how he got started in real estate and transitioning from the corrections department. We talked about how Aaron was able to build a business throughout the downturn, the importance of building and working in a good environment, and the power of being a team leader with a background as a top producer. We also discussed what makes so many people fail out of real estate. 

    We also discussed:

    • The power of taking a leap of faith
    • Why coming into the business during a downturn was a blessing in disguise
    • Going from producer to leader
