More Than a Transaction: Why SMART Real Estate Can help Agents Go Above and Beyond
In the competitive world of real estate, going the extra mile as a REALTOR® or broker can set you apart and make a significant impact on your clients. However, new agents often receive a license after just a few weeks of school and have limited knowledge regarding how to go above and beyond for their clients and close major deals. Even experienced agents may lack nuance to navigate tricky transactions. This is where Ivey and SMART Real Estate Consulting offer a competitive advantage.
Her long career in real estate, first as an agent, then as a broker and agent coach, and now as a business owner and consultant, has given Ivey dynamic experience to assist a wide range of brokerages and agents.
According to former co-worker and broker-in-charge at a major firm, Erika DeRoberts, “Ivey’s best gift is that she is an enthusiastic teacher. It’s been a natural transition for her to move into teaching other agents how to explain complex things in an understandable way.”
Ivey knows that most real estate coaching and training programs come with a high dollar price tag and a lofty sales promise. These programs may be inspiring, but often the subject matter doesn’t stick for long after the workshop ends, or isn’t relatable for agents at different levels in their career.
SMART Real Estate Consulting found a niche in the marketplace, specifically for small to mid-size brokerage firms but adaptable for the big firms, too. Along with equipping brokerages with tools to reach their goals, Ivey helps agents go the extra mile by teaching them how to live an aligned life where personal and professional values complement each other. SMART Real Estate Consulting is all about an unfettered devotion to living a life of balance, with the goal of building a business model for agents or brokerages that is sustainable.
According to Corrine Nickel, owner and broker-in-charge of Nest Realty in Greenville, SC, Ivey’s model made all the difference for her team of agents. Corrine says, “Ivey's training packets cover topics such as contracts, building relationships with clients, and property assessment. She’s helped our agents to build confidence and follow correct systems, using tools such as role-playing and due diligence to achieve success.” As one person wearing many hats, Corrine was grateful to hire an expert in Ivey to help her small firm grow.
In a highly competitive real estate market, going the extra mile can make all the difference for both clients and professionals. Through her personalized service, expert market knowledge, attention to detail, and adaptable programs, Ivey helps agents go above and beyond for their clients.
