Real estate is a highly competitive field, and estate agents who perform at the top level can earn a substantial income and enjoy a fulfilling career. However, many agents struggle to break through and achieve success, despite having the same training and access to resources as their more successful peers.


In this blog post, we'll explore the habits and traits that separate mega-performing agents from struggling realtors and provide actionable tips for agents looking to up their game.


Habits of Mega-Performing Agents

  1. Consistent prospecting and lead generation: Top-performing agents understand the importance of continuously building their pipelines. They make time for prospecting and lead-generation activities daily, whether cold-calling, door-knocking, or leveraging social media.

  2. Strong work ethic and discipline: Mega-performing agents are disciplined in their approach to work. They have a strong work ethic and are willing to put in the hours to achieve their goals.

  3. Focus on client needs: Top agents always think about how to serve their clients best. They listen actively and ask questions to understand their client's needs and goals, and they work tirelessly to help them achieve their real estate dreams.

  4. Continuous education and growth: Successful agents always look to improve their skills and stay up-to-date with the latest real estate trends and best practices. They attend training courses, read industry publications, and seek mentorship opportunities.

Habits of Struggling Realtors

  1. Lack of focus and discipline: Struggling agents often lack a clear purpose or direction. They may be easily distracted or procrastinate on important, uncomfortable tasks.

  2. Neglecting lead generation and prospecting: Many struggling agents fail to prioritize prospecting and lead generation, leading to a dry pipeline and a lack of new business.

  3. Failing to understand client needs: Agents who struggle to connect with clients may not take the time to understand their needs and goals. This can lead to a disconnect and a lack of trust between the agent and the client.

  4. Resistance to change and improvement: Struggling agents often resist change and may not always be open to new ideas or fresh approaches. They may also be unwilling to invest in their education and personal growth.

Tips for Improving Your Habits and Traits

  1. Establish clear goals and a daily routine: Define what success looks like for you and create a daily routine that supports your goals. Focus on prospecting, lead generation, and serving your clients.

  2. Stay disciplined and focused: Avoid distractions and stay focused on your tasks. Stick to your routine, even when you don't feel motivated.

  3. Invest in your education and personal growth: Attend training courses, read industry publications, and seek mentorship opportunities. Embrace change and be open to new ideas and approaches.

  4. Prioritize your client's needs: Listen actively and ask questions to understand your client's needs and goals. Work tirelessly to help them achieve their real estate dreams.

In conclusion, mega-performing agents have habits and traits that set them apart from struggling realtors. By focusing on prospecting, lead generation, client needs, and continuous education and personal growth, agents can improve their performance and succeed in the real estate industry.
