Most agents focus on closings. Great agents focus on positioning.
In today's competitive real estate landscape, people don't just hire agents ā they hire brands. And like it or not, you already have one. The question is: are you in control of it?
If youāre relying on your brokerageās branding to carry your business, youāre building equity in someone elseās name ā not yours. And in a shifting market, the most secure and scalable move you can make is to own your own brand identity.
š§ What is your brand saying right now?
Take 5 minutes and do a quick audit:
- What shows up when someone Googles your name?
- Is your headshot current and consistent?
- Are your social profiles filled with value, or just generic listings?
- Do people know what you stand for ā your niche, your style, your āwhyā?
š” Branding is more than logos.
Itās the feeling people get when they interact with you online or in person. Itās the reputation youāve earned. Itās the story youāre telling ā or failing to tell.
The agents who thrive in any market are the ones who market themselves, not just their listings.
šÆ This Weekās Move:
Audit your brand. Ask three trusted people to look at your digital presence and tell you:
- What do they think you do best?
- Would they refer you based on what they see?
- Whatās missing?
Small tweaks lead to big impressions. And big impressions lead to more business.
