Stefan Swanepoels Real Estate Interview

In his real estate interview at Real Estate CyberSpace Radio he provides the following real estate tips:

Keeping Pace with Consumers

1. Use of the Internet, which has opened a vault of information, makes today's real estate consumers much better educated than in the past.
2. Too many agents, especially the million or so newcomers to the industry, are not adequately prepared technologically or even in real estate skills; at the most, only about half a million of all agents are fully qualified with sound skills and experience to do an above-average job.
3. The industry needs to do something about the 1.5-1.8 million agents who are borderline; one obstacle that has to be overcome is the mindset (sometimes unconscious) of agents who would rather be comfortable in their old routine instead of learning ways to improve.
4. Improving yourself is critical to achieving success in real estate-get a coach, enroll in a mentoring program, read a book; a coach or mentor can guide you along a new path and hold you accountable.
