As I write this article during the last week in March, we are deep in the throes of the Coronavirus pandemic. We are attempting to navigate the disruption that the virus is having on our daily lives and businesses. My hope is by the time you are reading this article, the disruption is in the rearview mirror, and everybody is getting back to normalcy.
Looking at online data for the first few months of the year, I felt that we were in store for another great year in real estate.

Almost everyone dreams of being the "go-to" associate in the neighborhood. Yes—even in a crowded, competitive market, you can have the kind of local pull that makes it "case closed" whenever someone needs to buy or sell a home in your area. The question is, how do you get there? The first three years of your practice set the stage for your future. Every year—ideally, each quarter—you should do less "chasing referrals" and more watching business come to you.
It may take years to become the "go-to" sales associate, but having a reliable flow of leads can happen faster than you think. The key is making marketing a top priority, then using it in a way that propels your business in the right direction.

Your reputation is one of your most valuable assets as a real estate professional. Every satisfied client presents an opportunity to advertise yourself to potential future clients. Still, even the most satisfied clients may need a little nudge to offer a testimonial or online review. Once a client shares their feedback, it's up to you to make sure that new prospects can easily find that information.
