Hey! Real Estate can be a very rewarding career, but can Real Estate be very frustrating? You bet! And even for me myself I found real estate very frustrating at times. Hi! My name is Yasser Khan and I'm the author of Property Agent Secrets book.

So what was the thing that I found what frustrated me the most about real estate? Well there were two things that frustrated me the most about real estate. One had to do with my own skill in terms of attracting the right kind of prospects, the right kind of customers and because I couldn't attract the right kind of customers I wasn't making enough money. And the other frustration I had was to do with the real estate agents themselves. So you know every regional day you know the biggest frustration number one with the majority of Agents out there is not finding prospects and they were true about me as well when I joined real estate all those years ago. So you know I it's just that you know I did not know how to do the right kind of marketing in order for me to attract the right kind of buyers the right kind of you know sellers the right kind of prospect because I wasn't doing those do the correct things I wasn't getting in a volume of appointment I wasn't getting in a phone call and they were frustrating because you know appointment is equal to income in this industry. The more appointments you have the more you be able to close, the more you're able to take get you know take as the income the more commission you're able to make right. But you know because I wasn't able to get a lot of inquiries coming in I wasn't able to get a lot of leads coming in I struggled in this area and that was very frustrating and I struggled for at least eight long months before I even saw my first commission. So it was very very frustrating! I had no you know I had no job I was doing it full-time I had no previous experience and I was struggling very badly to get the right kind of prospects coming to me. So that was very frustrating and you know to add to that frustration I did not you know know who to approach because my upline wasn't very helpful. My upline asked me to do you know cold calling, to do door knocking, to do canvassing, to throw flyers, but all of those were totally outdated methods. Totally outdated and even even even ten years ago right you know when I first started they were still outdated and even though agents keep doing that, but you know I realized that trying to cold call using my phone, trying to do door knocking, it's like trying to do fishing with my bare heads. And it was very frustrating because it's almost impossible for you to catch fish when you stand let's say you stand near a stream or a river right and you can see the fish going there and that makes you very very excited. That makes me hopeful! Okay there are fish out there. You can catch the fish but then you try to get down on your knees and try to you know grab them by their hand they slip through your they slip to your hands they slip a lot! And this very frustrating and that was the reason that you know got it very very you know I I got very very angry and go very frustrated with myself you know why was I not able to do that but I realized you know it took me some time to realize that it actually wasn't my fault because it's just the way everybody does. And that influenced the way I try to attract prospect as well and that increased my frustration increase the the struggle. Only if I knew the right thing if I knew doing the right thing would accelerate my results very fast and you know if I knew that early I would've done it early and save myself all the blood all the tears all the frustration seriously. And the thing about other Real Estate agents when I did manage to get you know I did manage to get after a while I listened to Dan Kennedy said while I listened to all the online marketers out there the way they were doing the kind of marketing they were doing and that you know was I was very helpful at after I started getting a lot of leads coming in right. So the next thing was after I got some leads, next thing was you know booking appointment at the agent because co-working right. So co-working was one area which is very frustrated because I came first to face with the the positive mindset of other agents other agents were not willing to share a commission and just by that they were so so so hungry and there was so selfish you know to not want to share the commission and that you know I mean that was very frustrating for me seriously to deal with this kind of agent and I have nothing against those agents but it's just that they have an outdated mindset and they have the mindset that you know there's less business to go around. So they need to know hoard. They need to keep all those leads to themselves and they don't share the commission and even in all in those days people advertise in the newspaper: No co-working and that's quite frustrating seriously right. You know if you don't do Co-working right how are you gonna close the deal. So I realized that you know if you go broke ten years the money from there is better then you know you try to figure things out on your own you try to find the right people try to do everything on your own right. If it becomes a much you know slower game and the chances of closing are also less. You know and as the listing drags on and on there's a perception issue in the market you know. People think that if your house isn't selling there's something wrong with it right. And you know by do I mean I found that those agents were actually you know minimizing their own chances of success by doing this. By trying to you know not do co-working. So they're to think that you know even today right now I still come across agents who and they have an outdated mindset and the thing is that you know there's more business than you know. There is business out there but the thing is that you need to get the right kind of prospects with the right kind of between have an overflow of business you will stop doing that automatically because now we have overflow you are worried not about not enough business but you're worried about too much business right. So that changes your perspective and I mean this personally I went through that as well and that's why I mean I can I speak from experience. That's why I'm sharing with you whatever I actually which helpfully happen to me and whatever problems I may need to overcome and yeah so Real Estate can be very rewarding career. It can be very you know self fulfilling, but also it has its own test of frustration. And you know with me personally the biggest frustration of not knowing how to get enough business and in dealing with other agents the biggest frustration I had was they were not willing to co-work and that the biggest that's the biggest frustration I used to have.
