The success of many real estate agents is based on ratings, and these ratings are visible to all. So take care to develop a personal profile on appropriate social media platforms, create a virtual portfolio of evidence of your successes and only post content that supports the brand you want to portray. Above all Vermaak advises: “Anything other than the real you won’t do, so build your brand on your actual strengths. “As a real estate professional, your goal should always be to attract customers who identify with you and your abilities. The same skills you use to build friendships can be used to build trust with customers. People make decisions every day in the industry based on gut instinct, and people can sense insincerity.” RESOURCES Chas Everitt www.reimag.co.za Which Asset class is right for you Leading the Residential Market STEPHEN BROOKES BROOKES STEPHEN On sale at Exclusive Books & CNA PROPERTY PORTFOLIOS How to build the perfect Investment WINNER SEPTEMBER 2016 R80.00 (Incl.
