How to Distinguish Yourself in the Luxury Market (Pandemic or Not) w/Tami Bonnell

The onset of COVID-19 threw a massive wrench in the works for agents looking to enter the luxury space, but it doesn’t have to be a barrier to entry. That’s because, pandemic or not, people will always need somewhere to live.    Still, it’s understandable for agents new to the space to have some concerns taking their business forward during this period. Which strategies guarantee great results in any market? What can you do now to set yourself up for long-term success?    The truth is, much of your response to the current situation should be similar to what you should be doing anyway: building extensive knowledge on your market and providing outstanding service.    In this episode, CEO of EXIT Realty Corp. International, Tami Bonnell shares how to make your mark on the luxury space in any situation.    This podcast was originally recorded on Michael LaFido’s Luxury Lunch & Learn series.  People will pay for a high level of service, especially in luxury. -Tami Bonnell   Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode   How to give the luxury consumer what they want:   No matter what’s going on in the world, no client wants to feel like they’re being “sold”. Particularly in the luxury space, the consumer wants to feel like you’re the solution to their problems, so make sure you’re doing more than feeding them information. Why you need to have your referral/mastermind “dirty dozen”:   Having 12 people you regularly consult with who work around your business, not in it, is the key to getting your finger on the pulse of what’s happening in the market. Look out for lawyers, accountants, loan officers, and anyone else who may have important information about your area and reach out to them at least once every 4 weeks. How having your feelers out there impacts your relationships with clients:   Aside from the obvious ability to provide better service, knowing what’s going on in your market will help you build confidence. This comes across to clients when you meet with them and it will set you up for more success.   Guest Bio-   Tami Bonnell is the CEO of EXIT Realty Corp.
