Hey folks, let's talk about the big picture in real estate—how long are you planning to stay in the game? Is it a year, two, five, ten, or even twenty? Are you testing the waters with just a toe in or is this a full-blown career for you?
Many agents tend to have a myopic view, making crucial career decisions based solely on today's market conditions. Yes, sales volume is currently at a 20-year low, but assessing your entire career based on a single down year is shortsighted.
If you envision being in the business for the next 10 or 20 years, one year of reduced sales shouldn't define your career. Recessions in real estate occur every 10 to 12 years, and what follows is typically a decade-long period of rising prices and increased sales volume. It's a market reset, not the end of the road.
For those considering exiting the industry for a "real job," think about the earnings over the next decade in that new job. If you're fortunate, maybe a hundred grand a year. Now, contrast that with the potential earnings in real estate over the next decade—it's likely to be more.
Shift your mindset from a short-term view to the long view. Resist the temptation to seek a security blanket or run away from challenges.
Embrace the storm, be strategy-driven, not market-driven. Some agents are thriving in the current market, growing their market share, and finding opportunities amid the negativity.
Consider the agents who weathered the storm in 2009 and 2010—the darkest days. They crushed it over the next ten years.
Compare that to those who exited the industry during the 2008 recession:
The difference is striking.
So, take the long view, weather the storm, and position yourself for exponential growth. Don't miss out on the opportunities ahead. Food for thought, my friends.
