12 Simple Steps to Start the New Year off in Success.

There is no looking back, the New Year is here!  Here are From productivity to marketing to work-life balance, we’ve rounded up 19 New Year’s resolutions for real estate agents, principals and property managers alike:

1. Prioritize:  Work smarter by prioritizing by impact rather than urgency. Schedule in your big “rocks” (key priorities that add the most value) first then fill in the rest of your time with other tasks.

2. Meet People:  Make a commitment to yourself to meet x number of people each week and track your goal.  Don't stop until you speak and gather the information needed to help your business.

3. Social Media: Post consistently on social media to increase brand awareness, engage potential clients and generate leads.

4. Video:  Make more real estate videos to set yourself apart from other agents. Get comfortable in front of the camera.

5. Know the Local Market:  Reach out to more local businesses and form mutually beneficial partnerships. For example, you could host your events at a well-loved local cafe and they could provide a discount for your continued business or help promote your events on social media. This is great for brand awareness and deepening your relationship with the community.

6. Breathe: Always remember to take time out for yourself and the things that you enjoy doing outside of work. You’re only human after all.  Have you schedule your 2019 vacations yet.  Put them on the calendar.

7. New Technologies:  Adopt to new technologies to streamline your processes and do more with less. Be engaged to learn about the technology coming to KW.  Utilize Kelle and KW Command

8. Image:  Update your headshot on your website, social media channels and listing portal pages. No more headshots from the 80s, 

9.  Go Deep:  Spend a few minutes a day meditating to help you focus more, sleep better and stress less.  Take a walk mid-day to refresh your brain.  

10.  Team Culture: Foster a culture of transparency and inclusiveness to ensure your team feels supported. After all, poor company culture can cause even the best Agents to leave.

11.  Customer Experience:  Focus on the customer experience to pre-empt customer service issues and questions. Not only does this help increase customer satisfaction, but it can also create a lasting impression and help bring in new business.

12. Be Open to Learning: Be open to learning about new legislation, real estate best practices and property trends and news. Be sure to subscribe to real estate blogs, attend various real estate conferences throughout the year and enroll in training and development courses.
