Commercial Property Sales – Your Database Is Everything So Get It Right From the Start

As a priority for real estate agents, market knowledge should be number one on your list if you want more sales and leases. But it is the type of market knowledge that will really fast track a sale or lease and will attract clients to use your real estate services.

There is no point in claiming you are the best agent or broker in the area unless you can clearly prove it.

So what is the best market knowledge poof that you need and the clients will be attracted to? Try these:

A database of buyers and investors that will consider purchasing good listings as they arrive in your books.

Databases of tenants that will consider renting premises as their leases expire.

These two simple things can underpin many property sales and leases, can convert more listings for you, and will be the foundation of your real estate success if you do it correctly. Most clients will choose a real estate agent that can show that they have the advantage of massive market awareness; that is and should be your database. Show your database for what it is. Impress the client in such a way that they want to tap into that database.

Build the database every day in such a way that you can extract relevant information from it. A great database is almost the single most important factor for the client to use in choosing you as the agent to market their property for them.

So many agents say that they have a database, but the reality of that real estate database is usually something like this:

It really doesn’t exist

It’s a “boat anchor” that no single person can use without extensive training

Someone updates it but you are not sure how and why

It does exist but it is not up to date

It’s in the back of their diary in unorganized notes

It’s in their mobile phone so it is not a real marketing tool for anyone else in the office

It does exist but you don’t want to use it in case your lead gets taken over by the office and out of your hands

It does exist but no-one knows what to do with it

It does exist but you can’t get information out of it that you can rely on

It is full of inaccuracy and spam entries so you can’t trust it

The list can go on, but the message here is clear. If you are going to have a database in your real estate office and you want to use it to drive listing conversions then the following are the rules:

Use reliable software to capture the data.

Have sufficient categories of ranking and requirement so the database can be grouped into prices, rents, properties, region, time, and other special requirements.

Every salesperson should enter every new lead or opportunity into the database either directly or indirectly through a person that controls the database.

When an entry goes into a database, then it must be accurate and maintained by the person that started the entry so that the information remains current.

If you get your database strategy right, you can use it as a major conversion tool in your listing presentation. By showing the client that you have a significant and relevant database that can apply to the marketing of their property you have a much better chance of closing the listing of that property.

Can Science Explain Everything? Why Do We Need Philosophy, Religion, and Art?

Science cannot explain what belongs to the abstract dimension of our reality. Science can verify what belongs to our material reality, and explain the origin of phenomena that are part of our material life. A scientist is a realistic researcher.
Philosophy is a rational speculation and meditation. A philosopher is constantly looking for answers. A philosopher analyzes the material and the spiritual reality, and makes conclusions after observing many factors.
Religion is the purification of the human spirit from the sins of the materialistic world, and from the sins of the human conscience. A religious person has faith in God and respects specific moral principals, which act like protective laws.
Art is the free expression of our thoughts and feelings in a beautiful form. It reflects our psychological system and the psychological condition of the world. An artist loves his/her art more than his own life.
Each discipline gives us different knowledge. We need all disciplines in order to have a global vision of our reality. Science alone cannot explain the meaning of wisdom. Wisdom is more than just knowledge.
Wisdom depends on philosophy. You must understand the meaning of life if you want to be wise. If you ignore the meaning of life, you don’t know if anything else has any meaning.
The way you interpret your reality is your personal philosophy of life.
When you think about your life, you understand that it is a complex system composed by many elements. You need many things in order to be happy. You need peace, but there is no peace in the absurd world. You need material conditions in order to survive, but your world is ruled by violence and greed. You need a social life, but making friends is problematic.
Everything is difficult. Living well is complicated.
Your personal philosophy of life helps you interpret your reality. However, you are ignorant, and there are many dangers everywhere. You need superior guidance.
The unconscious mind that produces your dreams is your natural protector. The unconscious mind is God’s mind and knows everything.
By following dream therapy you will understand how to stop being influenced by your wild nature, and how to stop being influenced by the violence of the world.
The unconscious mind transforms you into an artist because your art helps you understand that only perfection is beautiful. You must desire to be perfect like your artistic creations.
You need art in order to understand the meaning of beauty. Beauty gives you joy. This knowledge cannot be given by science or philosophy.
You must love what is beautiful, and never generate catastrophes. The unconscious wisdom helps you pay attention to the beauty of nature by helping you develop your artistic inclinations. This knowledge helps you become more sensitive.
You must be sensitive if you want to be able to understand how other people feel and read their minds. Your sensitivity is more important than your cold rationalism. Sensitivity gives you balance and prevents mental illnesses. Sensitivity makes you pay attention to human pain.
The psychotherapy of the unconscious mind transforms you into a wise human being who pays attention to all aspects. You need this psychotherapy even if you have never had psychological problems.
The unconscious treatment is mind empowerment and spiritual purification. This psychological treatment helps you evaluate the importance of goodness, especially in the hardest moments of life.
This treatment helps you understand your religion.
Your religion shows you the difference between what is good or bad. Your religion also helps you understand that you must follow a path to self-improvement.
You discover why you must cultivate love in your heart and why you have to be generous with everyone. Everyone needs compassion. Everyone is suffering for some reason.
The unconscious mind also helps you understand the scientific aspect of your treatment, so that you may have objective knowledge. You learn how your brain works and what determines your behavior. You become a psychologist yourself.
Science is a discipline that helps you understand why everything happens the way it does. It is quite similar to philosophy. However, science is based on objective scientific discoveries and not on ideas, like philosophy.
Everything is important. Everything helps you become more intelligent. You must pay attention to everything at the same time if you want to make wise decisions, and prepare positive life conditions for yourself in the future. You also have to be sensitive. You should always remember that your sensitivity gives you balance; not your reasoning.
