We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful María Cristina Arosemena . We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with María Cristina below.
María Cristina, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Before we get into specifics, let’s talk about success more generally. What do you think it takes to be successful?
Success in the real estate industry requires hard work, dedication, and commitment. It takes much more than simply having a sales license or being able to show a property. The most successful real estate agents understand that building relationships with clients is essential, and this can only be done by getting to know them well, listening carefully to their needs and desires, and offering unique services that set you apart from the competition.
Persistence is key to success in any industry, and real estate is no exception. Successful agents never give up on a client or a deal, even when things get tough. They continue to work hard and remain optimistic, keeping their focus on the end goal. By being persistent, real estate agents can build a reputation as someone who gets things done, even in challenging circumstances.
Getting to know clients is one of the most important aspects of being a successful real estate agent. Understanding what clients want, need, and expect from a property allows agents to tailor their services to meet those needs. This involves taking the time to listen carefully to clients and asking the right questions to gain a deep understanding of their preferences.
Finally, offering services that make you unique is an important way to stand out in a crowded real estate market. Whether it’s offering virtual tours or personalized home staging services, successful real estate agents find ways to set themselves apart from the competition. By taking the extra mile, they show clients that they are committed to providing exceptional service and meeting their unique needs.
As a real estate agent, I learned the importance of building relationships with clients the hard way. At the beginning of my career, I would focus solely on showing properties and providing detailed information about them, but I neglected the most important aspect of the job, which is connecting with clients. Once I started to focus more on getting to know my clients, I realized how much easier it was to help them find the home of their dreams. Building those relationships allowed me to understand my clients’ needs and desires, and it made the process of finding the right property much smoother and more enjoyable.
María Cristina, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I’ve always been interested in the real estate industry, as I come from a family with several members who are involved in this field. From a young age, I was fascinated by the process of buying and selling properties, and I loved meeting new people and interacting with everyone around me.
It was during the pandemic that I decided to pursue a career in real estate. With many people looking to buy or sell homes remotely, I saw an opportunity to use my skills and knowledge to help others navigate this challenging time. I was fortunate enough to connect with Acquire Panama, a well-established firm that specializes in luxury properties. As part of a team of 11 real estate advisors, I work with a portfolio of over 2,000 high-end properties throughout Panama.
Working with Acquire Panama has been an incredible experience. Not only do we offer some of the most unique and exclusive properties in the market, but we also function as a tight-knit family. We’re always looking for ways to support each other and help our clients find the perfect property. Our team is well-trained and dedicated to providing exceptional service to even the most demanding customers.
Overall, I’m grateful to have found my place in the real estate industry. It’s a dynamic and rewarding field that allows me to combine my passion for meeting new people and helping others with my love of luxury properties. I look forward to continuing to grow and thrive in this exciting industry for years to come.
What’s been the best source of new clients for you?
One of the most important sources of new clients in the real estate business is through connections. Networking and building relationships with people in your community is critical to growing your business. This includes not only your family and friends, but also your colleagues, other professionals in related fields, and even your acquaintances.
In order to expand your network and build new connections, it’s important to talk to everyone and meet everyone. You never know who might be looking to buy or sell a property, or who might know someone who is. By actively engaging with people in your community and building relationships, you can create a powerful referral network that can help you grow your business over time.
What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
One of the most important factors in building a reputation within the real estate industry is consistently offering the best service possible to every single client. This means going above and beyond to ensure that every client has a positive and memorable experience working with you.
One way to do this is by going the extra mile for every client. This could mean providing additional resources or services, offering personalized recommendations based on their needs and preferences, or simply taking the time to listen to their concerns and answer their questions.This will make them remember you forever.
