"11 Reasons Why Military Veterans Make Amazing Realtors"

  1. Problem-solving ability: Veterans are often trained to think creatively and solve problems in challenging situations. This quality is particularly valuable in the real estate industry, where agents must often navigate complex transactions and negotiate deals in challenging market conditions.

2. Resilience: Veterans are often trained to be resilient in the face of adversity, able to persevere in difficult situations and bounce back from setbacks. This quality can be especially valuable in the real estate industry, where agents must be able to navigate challenging market conditions and negotiate complex transactions.

3. Discipline: Veterans are often trained to be disciplined and organized, able to manage multiple tasks and projects simultaneously. This quality is particularly important in real estate, where agents must be able to effectively manage their time and resources to achieve their goals.

4. Strong work ethic: Veterans have a reputation for being hardworking and dedicated individuals. This trait is particularly valuable in the real estate industry, where success often depends on the amount of effort and dedication put into the job.

5. Attention to detail: Veterans are often trained to be meticulous in their work, paying close attention to even the smallest details. This skill is especially important in real estate, where transactions often involve large sums of money and complex legal documents.

6. Adaptability: Veterans are often trained to adapt quickly to changing situations, and this quality is especially valuable in the fast-paced and constantly evolving real estate industry.

9. They’re Goal Centric - Just like real estate agents, military veterans understand what it means to create and achieve their goals. The only difference is that agents are creating their own goals, while soldiers receive orders and take charge. Setting goals might be the most important skill for an agent. You need to be laser-focused and cunning in your pursuit of success. Day or night, rain or snow, you need to be out there every day helping your clients find their dream home while generating new leads for the business. It requires multitasking and a ruthless concentration on what needs to be done. For military veterans, this is all but natural to what they knew before leaving the service.

7.  Integrity: Veterans are often known for their strong sense of honor and integrity, and this quality can be a significant asset in the real estate industry, where trust and credibility are essential.

10. They Value Service - Many agents are in it for the money. As educators, we know this and support their endeavors. However, what makes a great agent isn’t their cash stream but how they support their community.Veterans understand the value of service more than anyone else. It’s usually the reason why they serve their country to begin with. Those who perform selfless acts are more inclined to become community leaders and help the area grow.

8. Communication skills: Veterans are often trained to be effective communicators, able to articulate complex ideas and information clearly and concisely. This quality is particularly important in real estate, where agents must be able to effectively communicate with clients, colleagues, and other stakeholders.

11. Veterans Understand that Success is Built on Habits, Not Talent - Here’s Retired Naval Admiral William H. Mcraven explaining how a small habit of making your bed to perfection can influence the rest of your day: - If you make your bed every morning you will have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride, and it will encourage you to do another task and another and another. By the end of the day, that one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed. Making your bed will also reinforce the fact that little things in life matter. If you can’t do the little things right, you will never do the big things right. And, if by chance you have a miserable day, you will come home to a bed that is made — that you made — and a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better. How many small, mundane tasks do your agents have to tackle every morning? If you want someone to take those tasks seriously, hire a veteran.

Knowing that success comes from habit, veterans often take the initiative when first starting in real estate.
