Pulse: What’s The Biggest Rookie Mistake You’ve Seen In Real Estate?

This June, Inman’s editorial theme is Teams — we’re going to go deep on what it takes to grow your team amid this intense seller’s market. And if you’re not already a subscriber to our Teams Beat email newsletter, sent every Thursday, sign up now.

Pulse is a recurring column where we ask for readers’ takes on varying topics in a weekly survey and report back with our findings.

Botched deals, communication lapses, missed lead opportunities — we all make mistakes. If you’re a real estate agent, chances are, you’ve dropped the ball at some point in your career. This week, we’re focusing on errors that are, for the most part, often committed by freshly minted agents, those who are still learning the ropes of this business and how things work.

So, what are some mistakes you’ve seen new agents make? Better yet, now that you’re past the point of rookie, perhaps you can look back and tell us about those times you messed up, too. What have you learned since?

We’ll compile a list of the top responses and post them on Inman next Tuesday.
