A Value-Added Agent
The #2 Attribute of a Value-Added Agent is that they are continuously EDUCATED! Real estate changes every day and a value added agent is apprised of all the changes in legal issues and technology. In fact, a value-added agent will go above and beyond what is required by them by their local laws. Most highly successful agents have designations! They are the letters that follow their name. I have my ASR, CRS, and GRI. They are Accredited Seller Representative, Certified Residential Specialist, and Graduate Realtor Institute. I have spent hundreds of hours on continuing education. Each class has helped me be a better Realtor. It is known that Realtors with designations make more money. When you invest in your self and your business, you will see the results in your pocket book! I encourage you to find classes that can make you a better Realtor and you are on your way to being a Value-Added Agent! If you would like more information, please email me at janicebaldwin@kw.com!

The Value-Added Agent
July 15, 2008
The following post is based on a presentation I did at a recent sales meeting to my agents. One of my incredible agents suggested I use it and share it with all. This will be posted in several parts and is based on an article I read in Broker Agent News. Enjoy and I hope it makes you want to be a Value-Added Agent!
The #1 Attribute of a Value-Added Agent is that they WORK FULL TIME in real estate! I did not realize it, but statistically, 65% of Real Estate agents are part-time! That figure may even be higher in this shifted market. Most seller and buyers are not aware of that. YOU MUST let them know your commitment to them and your career! Think, “If I was a buyer or a seller, who would I choose? A FULL TIME agent or a part time agent?”
If you are a part time agent, are you taking the necessary steps to make Real Estate a Full Time commitment? Remember that a person’s home is most always the biggest financial investment a person makes. Again, think, who would you choose? I know that I always made sure my customers and clients were aware that I was there for them. Real Estate is my CAREER! Make sure your clients are aware as well!
Remember that if you would like to contact me for any information on Real Estate or your career, I am available at janicebaldwin@kw.com and watch for more information to come on this series, “The Value-Added Agent”!
