Are you interested in becoming a commercial real estate agent but don't know where to begin? If you are up for the challenge, you are off to a great start. When entering the Toronto real estate market, many shy away from the commercial sector as it seems like an intimidating feat. Little do they know that your success as a commercial real estate agent relies solely on you and your dedication.
The commercial real estate market has seen its fair share of ups and downs over the past year, but with the market on a steady rise, your business will be too.
We're sharing three vital skills that will help you navigate the world of commercial real estate and make you a top agent in the game.
YOU ENJOY A CHALLENGE
Let's face it—the real estate industry in Toronto is competitive. The same goes for the commercial sector. In a highly saturated market, it may be challenging to stand out from the crowd. That is where dedication and persistence come in. Overcoming the challenges you may face during your tenure as a CRE agent will help you to grow your business to new heights, paving the way for future agents along the way.
YOU THRIVE IN A NON-TRADITIONAL JOB
If you prefer not to work a traditional 9-5 job, then being a commercial real estate agent is the right fit. More often than not, your peak work times are when your clients are available. Evenings, weekends, holidays, you name it, you'll probably work it. The bonus? You work for yourself, meaning you make your own hours and at your own pace, creating a work-life balance that no other job can compete with.
YOU PUT YOUR BUSINESS FIRST
As a commercial real estate agent, no day on the job looks the same. You will have to think on your toes and prioritize what needs immediate attention and what can wait. If that means putting in extra hours to get the job done, so be it. To be successful, you must be willing to juggle several priorities at once.
When you are a commercial real estate agent, your business is your priority. Acquiring skills that will help you succeed will make your job all that much easier.
