Successful real estate agents advise new agents to specialize in a niche, focus on daily prospecting, and build consistent habits. Mastering lead generation through calls, open houses, and networking is key. Use CRM tools, follow up diligently, and treat clients as long-term relationships. Build your brand by being authentic, visible, and community-involved. Manage time with goals and schedules, and approach the business with patience, persistence, and professionalism.
