The real estate sector in Pakistan is booming. The government of Pakistan has recently announced a series of tax relief initiatives for the construction sector. Due to these packages, the real estate sector of the country is flourishing and more investors are diverting their money towards it. If you are a real estate specialist or agent, then you will notice that the market is showing an upward trend for the past couple of months. This is the right time to gear up for more deals as, according to real estate experts, the market will see a steady upward drift for at least a couple of months.
The role of real estate agents and specialists is crucial. As a real estate specialist, you must be prepared for clients and investors. Here are the 7 things that every real estate specialist should have in their bag:
- Phone – In real estate, your phone is your number one asset. You must be reachable by phone because no one likes opportunities lost. For this purpose, you should have at least one phone to attend calls. It is better to opt for an Apple or Android smartphone because many of your prospects will tend to get in touch with you via WhatsApp and similar apps.
- Notebook – Again, this is a must-have weapon for all real estate agents and specialists. A notebook serves as your note-taking log. For instance, if you have a client for an overseas block in Blue World City, then note it down as a requirement because you might forget the conversation at a later stage. Also, carrying a notebook along gives a good impression to the clients you meet with.
- Real Estate Masterplans – No matter what you are selling, it is important to have a masterplan of the real estate project that you pitch. For instance, if you are selling plots in Park View City Islamabad, then you should carry along the society’s masterplan and map with you to give client presentations. Similarly, if you are dealing in Blue World City Islamabad, then you should carry the Blue World City map with you.
- Calculator – This seems to be a bit old-school, however, a standalone calculator is a must-have in your bag. Although calculators are readily available on cellphones, however, a standalone calculator will help you when your phone isn’t charged up or you want to keep your phone free during a meeting.
- Payment Plans – As a real estate agent, you should have readily available payment plan brochures for the real estate projects you are selling. You can meet a prospect at any time of the day and these brochures help when you are explaining the project to a prospect.
These are the five important things that you should have in your bag. Also, it is important to carry your name cards, mentioning your full contact details and the real estate agency you are associated with, at all times. As a real estate specialist, you must be prepared for a pitch at any time of the day and week. We hope this list helps you pack your bag professionally.
