In the world of Real Estate, top agents are a bit like unicorns—rare, magical, and highly sought after. But unlike mythical creatures, these agents are very real, and spotting them before your competitors do can make all the difference in building a successful team. So, how do you identify these unicorn agents before they hit their stride? And once you’ve found them, how do you keep them on your side? Let’s dive in.
First off, what sets these high-performing agents apart? It’s not always what you might expect. Sure, they’re out there in the market, hustling and doing plenty of presentations, but they’re not always closing the deals—yet. This might be due to a lack of training or experience, but what’s key is their persistence. These agents aren’t afraid to put themselves out there, even in the face of rejection. They’re also savvy about promoting themselves online, looking professional, and producing content that potential clients find valuable. They’re hungry, they’re active, and they’re showing all the signs of being on the cusp of greatness—they just need the right environment to flourish.
Now, finding these unicorns before everyone else spots them requires a bit of sleuthing. Do your due diligence. Read up on new agents, dig into their backgrounds, and pay attention to where they’ve come from. Keep a close eye on your competition’s new recruits—know what’s going on around you. And don’t forget to listen to your own agents; they’re out there, hearing about and interacting with these potential hires. If one of your agents barely beat another to a listing, that’s a sign that the other agent is someone worth watching. People talk, and if you’re listening, you might just hear about the next unicorn before anyone else does.
Once you’ve identified a potential unicorn, how do you bring them into your fold and help them reach their potential? It’s about providing the training and support they didn’t get before. Maybe they need a unique approach—after all, unicorns are anything but ordinary. Tailor your development plans to their specific needs, and be the catalyst that helps them turn that potential into performance.
But beware—unicorns can be skittish. They might not fully see their own potential yet, and if you come on too strong with your confidence in their abilities, it could backfire. They might feel overwhelmed, like they can’t live up to the expectations you’re setting. The key is to strike a balance: be supportive and encouraging without piling on too much pressure.
So, there you have it. Top agents are out there, waiting to be discovered, and with the right approach, you can spot them before your competitors do. Remember, it’s not just about finding them—it’s about nurturing their growth and creating an environment where they can truly shine. And when you do that, you’ll have more than just a top agent—you’ll have a loyal, high-performing member of your team who’s as rare and valuable as a unicorn.
