Real estate school can teach you how to complete a transaction. But does it teach you how to build a real estate business? On this episode of The Bounce Rate, we sit down with Jean Morency of Faircroft Homes to talk about what separates successful real estate professionals from everyone else. Jean shares why realtors should build relationships with home builders before they have a buyer, how understanding the “why” behind a client's wish list can transform the sales process, and why becoming a subject-matter expert beats simply becoming a tour guide. We also dig into selling future memories, marketing to growing communities, handling rejection, and one deceptively simple philosophy that can change the way you approach sales: “When I have a fear of rejection, it’s because I skipped a step.” Whether you're in real estate, sales, marketing, or any business built on relationships, there’s a lot to take away from this conversation.
