The Pool of Realtors is Getting Smaller - Can You Survive - The Service Wheel of Many Spokes!

The Pool of Realtors is Getting Smaller - Can You Survive - The Service Wheel of Many Spokes--We recently had an opportunity to become aware of the number of Realtors here in our local area that made their annual dues and are still actively doing real estate. The number has gone from somewhere around 1500 Realtors down to around 475. That is a reduction of 69% of the Realtor base. Given, some have come and gone and we do have new agents but the numbers are sobering for sure.

If we examined how these 31% have survived, we don't find anything that surprises. In my local area, it would not be Social Media that is the success factor. I do see other Realtors on Facebook and Twitter. I do see Realtors with good websites that get good SEO and compete with me for the online market.

You do have to have an online presence to play in this market. This is a given. As I go down the list of those Realtors that remain and who the Top Producers are, they are the Realtors with relationships built over years and the Realtors who practice the basic skills required in real estate. Picking up the phone and contacting your past clients and your sphere of influence is what still makes the phone ring. It is not floor calls, or web leads. You can bring in new business by working the "expireds". In the end, however it is your referral base that keeps that activity coming and that brings you sustainable business. It is your past service and your present level of service.

If you see your business as if it were a bicycle wheel with many spokes that provide you the opportunity of offering many value added services for your clients and you see the hub of this bicycle wheel as your past clients and current clients, you have a visual model for how your business is structured. The Service Wheel of Many Spokes represents the continued constant effort and guidance on the current trending market conditions and that caring element of "staying in touch". The thoughtful act of communication sustains your business. It is the combined value we provide through an online presence and the face to face interaction that keep it real. Just by picking up the phone and staying in touch, we provide an organic contribution to our Community. Hopefully, we are one of many with like-minded goals of offering service and value.

While we have seen those numbers go down, it is also inspiring to find that common trait that offers us that opportunity to continue what we love to do and that would be helping our clients buy and sell real estate.
