Ideal formula? I'm not sure if there is one. We grow our spheres of influence in many different ways and both inside and outside of your chosen career industry. In one hour on an early Saturday or Sunday morning I take to a farmers market to chat with the rest of the early risers looking for the freshest produce. Produce is s a great icebreaker (for you produce lovers) not to mention so many other local products. I love to make friends with those who are stewards of the land and if there is a real estate need in the future I am an advocate and a guide.

It really is me "the agent"! Not the franchise!
A few years ago I blogged about joining a real estate company who taught the concept that, it's the agent who is the "brand" not the franchise. This was a new concept to me since I was only affiliated with brand name franchise real estate companies during my career. It was the franchise not YOU that the seller/buyer wanted to do business with, I was told.
I left a brand name franchise to manage a small company, shortly afterward seeing the difference between an independent real estate office versus a franchise, myself and two partners opened a Boutique Real Estate Company "Cafe Realty" I am proud to say we now have a fourth partner with 12 agents!
The moral of the story (blog) is YOU ARE YOU OWN BRAND!
Agents who need confidence and are concerned about leaving a big brand franchise often see themselves not as an agent who works for a brand name, but an agent who HAS and IS their own personal brand. This is your business, make your brand and attract buyers/sellers because of you!

The most important thing a Realtor can do for there both there seller and buyer clients is to be have open communication about the step by step process, be honest, work as a team with the attorney, loan officer and client. Educate your clients about the process. Always remember it's not about the transaction it's about the transition of helping your client.
