You’ve been working for a large real estate firm for several years now. You’ve gotten experience, learned a lot from some veterans, and now you are ready to strike out on your own. Or are you? With the right contacts, the right skills and a good real estate closing program like Easy HUD, you are ready.
Don’t Make Excuses
It can be frightening to take the leap to solo practice. It’s easy to make excuses. Your kids are too small and need you at home. The economy is bad and the housing market might be headed for another slump. They need you at your current firm and it would be selfish to leave. It’s raining, and who wants to move to a new office in the rain?
If you wait for the perfect time to go on your own, then you will still be waiting when it is time to retire. There is never a perfect time to do anything: start a business, get married, go to college, have kids, or anything else. Rather than waiting for the perfect time, you just need to look for a decent time. At some point you have to take the plunge. Evaluate your skills and resources and if you have the tools you need then the right time is now.
Get A Good Start
Of course that doesn’t mean you should just rush out without thinking about it. You’ll need to understand the real estate market, but that’s what those years at the big agency have provided. You need a network of fellow professionals such as lenders and inspectors, as well as knowledge of the basics of marketing so you can find clients.
One big advantage for real estate professionals today is access to technology such as HUD-1 software. The technology takes much of the work off you, like having an inexpensive assistant to help you with paperwork and organization. Arm yourself with the right tools to give yourself a head start and a competitive advantage over stubborn competitors who cling to their outdated methods of doing business.
Easy HUD real estate title software speeds up your closing so you can spend more time looking for new clients. It streamlines and organizes your practice allowing you to do more with less. Not convinced? Try an evaluation version of Easy HUD on a few of your current sales and you’ll be pleased with how much easier real estate closing can be.
