The key is to be one of the first ones to call, therefore starting at 8am with new expireds. Also, just because many agents are calling, doesn’t mean they all are skilled and know how to break through objections etc. Older expireds are also great to call and not a lot of agents call them. I always have a positive mindset when I make calls and control what I can control.
I think you keep ignoring my question, knocking on people’s doors, It’s a little bit dangerous. I live in Hialeah, Florida, where as we all know the particular ethnic group are Cubans, and I won’t say all of them, but majority of them are not very polite or kind when you’re knocking on their door to ask for information Or offer any real estate services. I think NAR needs to train us somehow about this situation and many other real estate agents need to emphasize this problem with other agents. I am very kind, I think very polite and definitely very professional, if I encounter a person not in a good mood and I know how to talk, what kind of pitch sound I should even use when talking to a potential person that opens the door, but the second I see a very negative body language or behavior of a certain aggressive behaviors. I just say I apologize and I leave . Say what you will, but unfortunately these comes more often than none from Cubans because this is my area here in Hialeah. You must remember the many of these immigrants they come from different cultural backgrounds, and they’re not used to this kind of things and even if they were, nobody likes to have their doors being knocked period. Farming is not easy either cause you unfortunately have other agents guarding their territory per say. So again if you answer , what’s your profession answer, not your experience, but your profession answer regarding this situation thanks.
Then I would pick a different neighborhood. I have friends and have had team members that door knock Hialeah and they never had any issues or problems. You can't please everyone and you don't know what they're going through when you knock on the door. So if I were you having the concerns you are mentioning, I would pick a different neighborhood to knock on. There's plenty of surrounding -- Doral, Coral Gables, Kendal, Miami Lakes, Miami Gardens there's sooo many other areas ..or you can go further down or further up. If i was trying to get higher priced listing, I would go to higher price points. And if not, then do calls/open houses and figure out other ways to generate leads!
@@LoidaVelasquez ….Thank you so very much for being kind and professional taking a bit of your time to reply, I appreciate you for that. Additionally, as you mentioned, I’ve done that too of going to places that aren’t my neighborhood, but what happens a lot is that when a person that resides in let’s say as the example you used: Coral Gables, Brickell areas, let’s say Biscayne, etc, the residents do ask “how much experience do you have in this area, or which house or apartment you sold at ABC near by place etc…. I just can’t lie and I end up telling them “Sorry Miss/Mr. Seller(s) I live in Hialeah but im farming your area. So, these high end prospect customers are not stupid per se, they automatically think you may not have the skill set or knowledge to tackle such properties. You also sort of mentioned, that these other areas may result in higher quality and means of much better profit for an agent like me and trust me, I do in God’s name want that, cause I do believe I can deliver and help on what some of these particular high in customers need, but the second I’m asked where I live “Hialeah“ they immediately feel discomfort assuming I’m not what they want to represent their neighborhood or property. So yeah, I’ve done that part of the homework. At first, I thought “well goddamnit, maybe I am too ugly or something….Lol cause you know how’s our Latino culture” but I’m well put together, well spoken, professional…. So that has actually hurt me a bit. But for the record, I don’t use these rejections or behaviors from customers for me to give up per say, but those things do happen and are there. So I don’t know, I do feel not going to lie all my hard work 😓 for getting my license and other efforts to make it happen have not work out, so much so, that it makes feel that perhaps as much as I love it, I’m not meant to be a real estate agent. Any advice that you might feel you can relate to or so is appreciated. Thanks again.
I think that was just due to how the conversation flowed. He asked follow up questions based on how she answered. I think that's very realistic. You have to be flexible and be able to cover all bases. You don't want to worry about the time and leave important topics unaddressed or unanswered.
@@LoidaVelasquez Thanks!! I'm currently waiting for my date to take my test. Also, we just relocated to the SD area. I just happened across your channel.. so if you're in the SD area maybe we will cross paths someday!
Hello, I’ve watched a few of your recent videos and really enjoy them you share a lot of great information! One suggestion is to maybe use a mic 🎤. The audio is good but definitely could be better! Again thank you for your service to the community! You are awesome!
I think it depends the person's knowledge and experience, I'm "new" to real estate sales and I still feel like I could be a listing agent pretty well. I love advertising and negotiating either side, listing or buying.
Hi Loida love your RU-vid videos. I just got my license yesterday. I’m not sure of the brokerage to join. Can I join yours? I interviewed with KW but they are charging to join. I tried reaching out to Century 21 but didn’t get a live person on the phone. I heard they charge less.
What should you say or bring with you for the best experience. I'm worried about safety also. Stories of people getting shot for turning around in someone's drive way has definitely made me fear doing this.
Well lucky you really. I live in Hialeah, FL where the majority as many know in the nation are Cubans and they can get very violent, get easily agitated and even call the police out of anger for knocking on the door. This is asking literally, God forbid for a bullet in someone’s head…This is my city but I’m super scare as we see episodes every single day for less situations that don’t involve knocking on a door, yet the aggressive behavior is unsurmountable. I think this is something that most be more talked about to prevent horrible situations, because not every area, city, neighborhood, ethnic groups are the same. I mean just what I’ve seen. Any suggestions for safety of cities or neighborhoods with a demeanor like this?
