As a real estate agent, one of the most essential traits for your position is the ability to communicate clearly and effectively.

Are you trying to gain new clients as a real estate agent? Don’t forget that it’s just as important to retain the clients you already have.

Being unavailable or difficult to communicate with is one sure way to shed clients. Doing inadequate research about the properties you’re showing is another common mistake. You’ll also need to make sure you can stay calm, even in high-stress scenarios. Finally, poor marketing of a property is likely to send clients away as well.
