Avoid These Silly Real Estate Agent Mistakes

Are you looking to sell properties? Building a career in real estate is one of the tedious tasks. It is an amalgamation of intimidation and frustration. Mistakes are part of life and in real estate mistakes are as common as any other field. These mistakes can be little more frustrating but like others, they are curable.

In this post, we are going to discuss some of the silly mistakes that are common in the realm of real estate. Without further ado, let’s get started,

●      Fails To Keep The Constant Flow Of Communication

The most important aspect of keeping the business intact is keeping a steady flow of communication. Failing to do so will lead you to lose the client. There are many instances where newbie real estate agents lost to be the track of their clients which leads in two cases. They either switch their agent or they lose interest in the property. Either way, the agent will lose the client.

Do not fall for such mistakes. Keep them close to you. Make them feel valued. Show them that you care for their well being and show that you intend to help them find the best property.

●      Not Making New Prospects Everyday

This seems pretty convincing. There are many instances where cold calls in real estate market seem mere luck. But I can assure you it is pure practice. All the new real estate agents feel uncomfortable in cold calling potential clients. This mostly leads to bizarre start which can later result in an unsuccessful career.

You don’t want that for you. Keep making new prospects each day. This will result fruitful in your future. New real estate agents might find it difficult in talking to someone whom they just saw on their computer screen. Whether you believe it or not, this is one of the practices that will make you veteran real estate agent one day.

●      Spending Time Doing Wrong Things

Time is the one thing which can be one of the most profitable investments for sure if used correctly. New real estate agents usually do something at this time which they regret afterwards. I know it is intimidating. You don’t want to feel bad once you give so much time to some activity and later find it worthless.

Plan your approach accordingly and all the results will shift in your direction. Poor time management is yet another common mistake you need to avoid or your career will fall into oblivion.

●      Are You Still Not Using Social Media!!

Real estate is a business with a lot of competition. The nature of market can shift in a second. In such dynamic area, if you are still relying on traditional marketing strategies, then my dear friend you need to think again.

Social media platform is a new way to market your product. For a real estate agent, real estate property is their product/service (Although they don’t produce it). You need to leverage the reach of the social media platform like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Linkedin, Pinterest, Snapchat, and much more than that. This entire community gives attention to your business and clients will flow. So, take advantage of these amazing social media platform and get clients like never before.

●      Not Focusing In One Area

The rookie mistake in real estate can be pretending to know everything. Not focusing on one particular area can lead your career down to zero. You probably don’t want to do that do you? For instance, take an example of any big company. Say Expedia, they offer travel related services. The service list is exhaustive but all fall under travels only (Note that they have number employees to cover that).

You as a person can focus on only one thing. Don’t be a hobo with a closet of magic. Be expert in one thing. That can be either condominiums, rented property, or anything of your choice but only one. Expertise on that with focus and your career will flow like a giant river.

●      No Time For Self Improvement

This can cause a denting effect not only in your career but also in your life. Life is a process of mistakes and improvements. The biggest mistake of your life can be not learning from the mistake. Yes, everyone makes mistakes, take a time out and evaluate what gone wrong and rectify it.

You don’t have to invest much time on that but yes you should invest at least a little time. Give yourself a chance first and then ask your client to give you one (Chance).

●      Are You Less Determinant?

This is the biggest mistake of all in real estate industry. Hard work is non-negotiable in the business. You skip that, the profit will skip you entirely. There is no denying in that. You need to work hard to get hold of clients, be in touch with them, seek out to be a mentor. All of the tasks required determination and if you lack that, you lack everything.

Over To You Fellas

In the end, it all falls under your shoulder whether you embrace it or not. Everyone makes mistakes and that is certainly not new. However, not learning from that mistake can be daunting and lead you to your downfall.

Let me put a summary of the above points to make sure that you get the point,

  • The most important aspect of keeping the business intact is keeping a steady flow of communication. Failing to do so will lead you to lose the client.
  • Keep making new prospects each day. This will result fruitful in your future. New real estate agents might find it difficult in talking to someone whom they just saw on their computer screen.
  • Plan your approach accordingly and all the results will shift in your direction. Poor time management is yet another common mistake you need to avoid or your career will fall into oblivion.
  • Social media platform is a new way to market your product. You need to leverage the reach of the social media platform like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Linkedin, Pinterest, Snapchat, and much more than that.
  • The rookie mistake in real estate can be pretending to know everything. Not focusing on one particular area can lead your career down to zero.
  • This can cause a denting effect not only in your career but also in your life. Life is a process of mistakes and improvements. The biggest mistake of your life can be not learning from the mistake.
  • This is the biggest mistake of all in real estate industry. Hard work is non-negotiable in the business.

I hope you do get the point. Plan your approach and nail success on your wall. All the best with that.

Unique Ways to Propose

You may be pondering about asking the person of your dreams to marry you. Yet, getting down on one knee and proposing with a gorgeous ring without a secret theme or the perfect setting may be too traditional for your taste ― and hers. Don’t worry! Below are six unique ideas that may help you create the most unforgettable proposal to your future bride.

 

Send Her on a Treasure Hunt

Organizing a treasure hunt will take some time and planning, but it’s worth it. Choose a day when she’s usually not busy and leave notes and clues instructing her to travel to different areas around the city. Before you know it, she will end up at the ultimate location ― in your presence, awaiting your proposal.

 

Design a Crafty Notebook Cover

If your lady is a writer or artist, she may have a couple of notebooks that are full of random notes, story ideas, drawings, and doodles. Surprise her with a notebook with a specially designed cover that says, “Will You Marry Me?” “I’m Ready to Spend the Rest of My Life With You,” or something creative and catchy that will encourage her to open it. On the inside pages, handwrite the reasons why you love her and why you want to marry her. Work with a designer, if necessary, to help you choose the right font, color, and style of text.

 

Take Her to a Beach She Loves

Beautiful waves crashing on the shore with the sun setting in the horizon creates an ambiance like know other. Bring her to a beach you both love to visit and give her the impression that it’s just a typical beach day ― except leave a trail of rose petals or candles to a place on the sand where you plan to propose. You will probably need a close friend or beach employee to help with the setup. But the scenery, along with your proposal, will be something both of you will never forget.

Write a Song ― and Perform It

If you’re a singer in a band, she’s probably attended your shows before and had a great time. Put together a small event where you (and the band members, if you like) can have a short concert and serenade her with a song you’ve written specially for her, and propose. Or, halfway through the song, pretend you are having some technical difficulties and decide to just tell her what you were going to sing to her ― on bended knee ― and propose. Either way, it’s a win-win proposal.

 

Surprise Her at a Sporting Event

A proposal at a game is definitely a win. Get your friends together and give each of them a poster with a letter on it. At a specified time, instruct them to stand and hold up each letter, so it reads, “Will You Marry Me?” Tell her to look at the sign, giving her the biggest surprise of her life. Or, add the proposal to the ticker that runs horizontally across the stands in the stadium. This kind of proposal is a memorable one, especially if she’s not necessarily a sports fan. Moving forward, every game she attends or watches on TV will remind her of your special proposal.

Let Art Do the Proposing

Paintings, sculptures, illustrated drawings, and everything in between are not only beautiful, but are forms of expression that can drive emotions and thoughts. Visit a theme park that has a caricaturist on site and have the artist create a whimsical drawing of you two, adding the text, “Will You Marry Me?” on the finished product. Not only is it a fun proposal, but it’s a form of art that can be cherished in your home for years to come.

Real Estate Trends in One of Bangalore’s Top Locality—Introducing Whitefield and Its Plush Villas

Leave a comment

Bangalore’s housing sector has been on an ascent since the time the city witnessed the largest tech boom in the country. Now a hot bed of opportunities, Bangalore is the settling ground for Fortune 100 tech companies from around the world that are in search of talented resources on foreign soil. The city’s real estate industry has held hands with the IT sector in its uphill climb. The two have covered miles in this past decade, a journey that has ended with tremendous success for both.
Whitefield Real Estate, a Quaint Neighborhood
Among the many locations in Bangalore that has been highlighted for real estate reasons is Whitefield. Whitefield is not at the heart of the city as most would imagine. Instead, it is a near quite settlement in the eastern vicinity of the city. Originally a small patch that hosted the first Eurasian settlers in the 1800, the place still retains some of its West-influenced pastern. The quiet, quaint neighborhood off the city limits was suddenly flooded with attention after the tech boom in 1990s. Since then, the place has been given an infrastructural upgrade and promoted as a major suburb. Geographically, Whitefield is an annexure to the Greater Bangalore.
The Real Estate Pricing Trends in Whitefield
A decade after the IT boom first happened, the city was swarming with residents from all over India. This was a direct hint to the local developers to build more apartments and homes to house these professionals. Domestic developers collectively took up the project of urbanizing the city with sky high condos and luxury villas. The pricing of the apartments and villas in Whitefield Bangalore for sale gradually cleaved into a trend and by 2010 a distinct pattern could be traced in the cost structure. The average price per sq. ft. as recorded in the last quarter of 2010 was a little below Rs. 5000 which by 2011, same quarter surged up to above Rs.7000. The price pattern has silently, but surely crept upward since then. The zigzag motion of the graphs may indicate a fall in price subsequent to the rise, but the incidence of rise has been remarkably higher by comparison.
Luxury Calling
Stopping to take a quick look at the available residences in Whitefield, the neighborhood is peppered with plush apartments and villas. Understandably, the villas in Whitefield Bangalore are in greater demand or a greater number of seekers prefer independent homes over multi-family ones which is why the villas are far ahead in the race. And after all, for all the luxury features and architectures, why shouldn’t they?
The housing complexes of Whitefield are cities within the city. The complexes sprawl over acres of land with hundreds of neat villas fanned across the expanse.
• The grounds are laid with small patches of gardens, walking trails, water pockets, fitness centers, sports courts and what not.
• Indoor game rooms are also seen in some housing compounds.
• There are some neighborhoods that even have bars and restaurants inside.
• Indoor swimming pool is a very common feature of these neighborhoods.
• Children’s play area; multipurpose hall and library are others.
The villas are mostly duplexes with bathrooms mostly on the upper level. Ample open space in the form of terraces, backyards and balconies make the villas all the more spacious and airy. The street, the houses overlook are wide and paved on both sides for pedestrians. Wide driveways allow enough space for owners and visitors to park their cars comfortably. Trees lace the inner streets of the compounds which are a great advantage in keeping the campus cool, quiet and natural.

Bad Impacts of Demonetization As Coming Out

Leave a comment

By Deblina Dey

Had it been proved to be a fruitful decision?

When our honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced the demonetization of the Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 notes of Indian currency, he had not the least idea about what he did. Actually, he had paid the most irreverence to his own mother-like Indian currency in the name of eradicating corruption and black money. The entire mass of India didn’t come to realize even by then, which sort of miserable & pettiest conditions they are going to face from the next day onwards.

What is Demonetization?

In a nutshell, the act of withdrawing a currency unit as a legal mode of payment is known as demonetization. But the whole procedure is not a short-term journey. The sudden revocation of the existing notes is obviously about to put all ordinary people in the fanatic embarrassment as ever since currency is one of the prior means of our sustenance.

Harassment of common man

In order to get rid of black money, this pronouncement is not proved friendly for the huge common mass of India at all. Everyone has got the clear news that what a large number of individuals has been victimized of immense sufferings and what number has embraced the ending of life till now. The problem is terribly fearing among rural areas, (India is such a country which has over 70% rural areas & remote villages of whole land), where labourers and “majdoors” have to be paid on daily basis in retail currency & they got unemployed from the very next day. People, running about to hospitals & nursing homes for urgent treatment, have failed to get proper medical care. And, surprisingly, all of our ministers, MLAs, MPs, corporate tycoons, industrialists are appreciating Modi for his fighting against black money. Is it not quite absurd?

PM’s intention is not for the interest of nation

It would be better to mention here that the present RBI governor Mr. Urjit Patel has a profound intimacy with our nation’s richest businessman, Mukesh Ambani, the chairman & MD of Reliance Industries Limited. Because Mr. Patel has worked before with this largest corporate firm of India. So, is there not a fishy affair going on behind this startling demonetization?

Destruction of Black Money: to what extent BM has been reclaimed?

According to a statement of Reserve Bank of India, over Rs.65 cr has been reclaimed from the various sources in our country. But is it the ultimate consequence of Modi’s promise of reclaiming black money? Is this the most authentic way to resist black money & fake duplicate currency? Will it be surely possible to turn all amount of black money of all millionaires of India into white?
