1. Not saying “no”

Saying “yes” to everybody is a load too heavy a burden to carry. You must learn to say “no” to the overpriced listing that will waste your time and effort. You must learn to say “no” on a regular basis when asked to reduce your commission.

2. Not communicating with clients

The number one complaint people make about real estate professionals is their lack of communication.

3. Choosing the wrong type of business entity to conduct business

Real estate professionals need to be aware of changing laws and regulations which make certain business entities much more attractive and profitable than others.

4. Not saving a portion of every paycheck

Markets fluctuate. Sometimes the business is great, and other times it is challenging. The market will struggle at some point in the future. Putting a portion of each check back will give you the ability to weather the storms when they come.

5. Not saying “thank you”

In the busyness of our lives, we can forget to thank those who help us achieve success. When you focus on gratitude and your own attitude, the attitude of those around you will change for the better.

These are just a few mistakes real estate professionals should avoid.
