Charles Turner made a career for himself from a relatively young age
in San Francisco by working well with others and taking advantage of
opportunities when they presented themselves. He has worked with many
people in the San Francisco area to develop, buy, and sell properties
and has been very successful in the real estate market. Here are three
tips for new real estate agents in any market for success:
- Look for rental transactions at first. Charles Turner knows from working for decades in the San Francisco real estate market that the quickest way to get your first commission as a real estate agent is to look for rental transactions. These transactions are often completed very quickly and you can get your first commission check not long after you start your career as an agent or Realtor.
- Tap into your personal network for help and leads. Chances are someone you know is looking for real estate or at least knows someone who is. When you’re first starting out, it can be difficult to find leads without a professional network of people who already know you. To generate leads without this advantage, use the network you already have to help find leads throughout the community.
- Be an expert. Charles Turner was so successful early in his real estate career in San Francisco because he quickly immersed himself in the communities he was operating in. This knowledge can help assuage doubt and build confidence in people trying to buy property.
