As a real estate agent, it can be tempting to take on any listing that comes your way. However, focusing on the wrong types of listings can end up wasting your time and energy, and ultimately hurting your bottom line. In this lesson, we'll explore why detached homes should be the main focus of your real estate business.

Key Takeaways:

1. Detached homes offer higher commission rates compared to condos or townhouses.
2. Strata documents can be complex and time-consuming, making condos and townhouses less desirable for some agents.
3. Focusing on detached homes can help you establish yourself as an expert in a specific market, leading to more referrals and repeat business.

Example 1:

Agent A takes on any listing that comes their way, including condos and townhouses. They spend a lot of time going through complex strata documents and only make a small commission on each sale. Agent A is burnt out and not making as much money as they would like.

Example 2:

Agent B focuses solely on detached homes in a specific market. They establish themselves as an expert in this area and receive more referrals and repeat business. Agent B is able to make higher commission rates and has a more sustainable business model.

Definitions:

1. Detached Homes - Standalone single-family homes that are not attached to any other units.
2. Condos - A type of housing unit where the owner only owns the interior of the unit and shares ownership of common areas with other condo owners.
3. Strata Documents - Legal documents that detail the rules, regulations, and financials of a strata corporation, typically for condos and townhouses.

In conclusion, focusing on detached homes can lead to higher commission rates, establish you as an expert in a specific market, and ultimately lead to a more sustainable and successful real estate business.
