Delivering a luxury real estate experience necessarily entails providing your clients with specialized insights and knowledge. So the question is: what’s unique about you? What do you understand better than everyone else?
“Maybe your niche is that you tend to attract creative people, that you tend to work well with first-time homebuyers or the retiree,” says Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty agent Donielle Cardinale. “If you look at who you are, and you look at who your clients are, and you identify those patterns, then there’s your niche.”
Sometimes it’s more specific than that — and Cardinale is a case in point. “I have a niche market of equestrian properties. With my branding and my advertising, instead of just your typical headshot, I tend to include photos that are lifestyle relatable.” For her, that means pictures of her with her dogs or horses, so that clients who share her love of animals connect with her instantly.
“If you find your niche — you find the thing that makes you you — it’s probably something that’s going to then attract like people.”
