I’m very excited to talk to you about an insightful and useful topic today: The 10 commandments for real estate agents. It’s something that I developed while writing my book, “The Half Millionaire Real Estate Agent.” I saw a lot of mistakes being made by agents that I wanted to rectify on a larger scale.

As you know, becoming a real estate agent isn’t nearly as difficult as actually succeeding in the industry once you’ve obtained your license. This is partially due to the fact that the lessons you’re taught in real estate licensing school don’t even scratch the surface of what you’ll need to know to thrive in this business. Truly high-quality agents know that this career requires you to constantly seek out new educational opportunities, and, as a professional real estate coach, it’s my passion to provide these exact kinds of lessons.

I’ve been doing direct mailings for the past 16 years of my career, and it’s become an integral part of my business to get listings. In that time, it has been one of the most consistent pieces of marketing that I’ve been able to do. A lot of different marketing platforms that I’ve used over my career have changed. However, the U.S. Postal Service still delivers mail, and you can still send emails—though not everyone opens emails.
When you do a direct mailing with postcards, for example, it has a 100% open rate. Because it’s a postcard, people can see all the information on it. If you put a direct mailing in an envelope, however, the outcome is different—not everyone is willing to open an envelope.
