5 of the Best Networking Tips from Top Real Estate Agents

Although you may be inclined to view other real estate agents as the competition, sometimes it's to your benefit to form positive relationships with your peers and the network of real estate agents you're a part of. More often than not, when you connect with other agents, you exchange stories (good and bad), share what you're working on, and hopefully trade off some tips and tricks that you've learned along the way.

With that in mind, we turned to the real estate agents in our own network and asked if they would share some of their top tips. With decades worth of combined real estate experience, one theme seemed to emerge from all the tips we got; being a real estate agent is tough, and there's no easy way to go about it. But taking the time for your clients, your potential clients, and even those cold leads can make a huge difference for your business. And yes, that means going above and beyond the typical 9 to 5 work day.

We spoke with real estate agents and Realtors from all over the country, and collected a few of our favorite quotes and tips here just for you. Whether it's best practices on what to put in emails to clients, or how to engage with potential clients with cold emails, each of these top agents brought their wisdom, and in some cases their humor, to share a little bit of their agent personality. And as we all know, the real estate agent's personality can make all the difference in a client's experience when they're buying or selling a home.
