As the real estate industry gets more and more competitive, agents and brokers must find ways to stand out especially in markets where inventory is tight and there are many more buyers than available listings. How do you get creative and hunt down listings that are not on the MLS? Are there unique ways to work with FSBOs or expired listings that go beyond the traditional scripts? What can you do to distinguish yourself as a real estate professional and thrive in a competitive market?
