Episode 262: How To Not Become “Just Another Buyers Agent”

Many Buyers Agents work hard to attain their qualification... only to find themselves feeling unequipped to actually do their job well, and advocate for what might be the biggest decision of their client's lives.

No career is easy, and the role of Buyers Agent is no exception. Long hours, constant property hunting, uncertain income, endless research... the list goes on.  In an industry full of lone rangers and micro-businesses with limited resources, it's hard for people starting off to find employment and learn from experienced practitioners..

This episode is for you, whether you're currently working as a Buyers Agent, thinking of becoming one or considering hiring one. We discuss the difference between those who learn purely through trial and error and those who benefit from being mentored. 

See you in the episode!
