How New Real Estate Agents Can Build a Thriving Career
Advice from PROACTIVE’s Founder, Jabin Norris
Real estate is a rewarding but complex career path — and getting started can be overwhelming. Even with all the pre-licensing education in the world, it’s hard to fully grasp what the job entails until you’re in the thick of it. That’s where mentorship becomes a game-changer.
In a recent RISMedia article, Jabin Norris, PROACTIVE Real Estate founder and owner, imparted actionable advice for new agents trying to get the ball rolling in this business. He has been a mentor in the industry for a long time and has led the way for many agents as they made their first steps in the field.
Here’s the quick lowdown:
Begin with the Correct Mindset
Jabin underlines that real estate is more than facilitating the buying and selling of properties- it is about becoming a self-employed professional. That means bringing accountability, mastering time management, and consistently working on one’s personal brand.
Systems and Structure
An agent should, from day one:
-
- Get tools and automation in place to make transactions flow smoothly
- Follow a schedule for the day which leverages the best hours of productivity
- Keep scripts so that communication does not become inconsistent
- Stay hyperlocal, know your community better than anybody else
- Give back through service to community
Success is in the Numbers
Jabin said, “If you can get into this mindset, the success is in the numbers, and you arguably get on the path you desire in the most timely and efficient timeline.”
It’s about setting the right foundation and taking daily, focused steps toward your goals.
Whether you are getting your start in Real Estate or are passing on to the next generation of agents, these are principles worth returning to.
