Realtor Business PlanDo You Have A Strategic Business Plan?A realtor business plan is a map that calculates the number of transactions you must close along with your total cost per transaction to reach your income goals. This strategic business plan establishes your goals and objectives in writing. There are companies and consultants who can write a Realtor business plan for you, for a fee, however, by writing your own strategic business plan, keeps you involved in the process and the direction. After all is said and done, it is your business and your plan. It’s not hard and it doesn't have to be complicated to get started. Keep in mind that:-"I am going to make a lot of money" is not a goal. "I am going to work hard" is not an action plan. "I will take one listing between February 1st and February 10th" is a clearly defined goal.
It’s important to re-evaluate your business plan quarterly - at least every six months. Are any of your goals, assets, or strategies unrealistic, impossible to accomplish, too expensive, or just plain ineffective? Be honest and replace what isn’t working with more of what is. Numbers don’t lie. If your Realtor business plan goals and your actual numbers do not match up, your business plan needs modifications. Make adjustments! A great source of sample business plans for all types of businesses including Real Estate can be found here. These sample plans can give you an idea of how to easily create a strategic business plan. Here is an outline of Goal Setting for your Realtor Business Plan.1. MY FINANCIAL GOAL for this year (next 12 months) is to earn pre-tax income of $______________________. 2. MY LISTING GOAL for this year is to take ____________listings for the year, or _____________listings for each month, or one listing every ___________days. 3. To work an average of _________hours per week of which at least 65% is highly productive ("Hot Time") 4. To work a maximum of ________days a week and take ________weekends off a month. 5. To take ____________vacations during the course of the year. 6. To Prospect a minimum of ___________hours a week of which a minimum of 65% is "HOT" and 35% is "WARM". NOTE:"Hot" Time is that time spent 'one on one' with someone who can give you a "Yes" or "No" answer to a question indicating their interest in buying or selling real estate. Examples of "Hot" Time:
A minimum of 65% of your working time should be "Hot" Time. "WARM" Time is the real estate oriented time, that is very necessary, but will not give you a "Yes" or "No" answer to a real estate buying or selling decision. More and more successful realtors are utilizing the services of a paid Assistant to perform some of the "WARM" time tasks. Examples of "WARM" Time:
You must hold yourself and/or your team accountable. You wrote the plan and set the goals with the intent of achieving them. Break the goals into smaller, more measurable pieces and monitor the results regularly. A Realtor business plan that can't be measured is almost always destined for failure. Create small steps and measurable wins -- celebrate them with your team and recharge for your next goal. If you find in the future that goals are unrealistic, adjust them, but keep this practice infrequent and logical. It is Your Realtor business plan after all!
