The business plan for realtors is a document that needs to make the best of an industry in a constant state from flux. From epic highs, the real estate market has fallen substantially, only to recover to moderate levels in most major metros. One thing is for certain: there's not going to be more land created, and as far as location is concerned, real estate will still be a steady and high-profit industry – one with huge profit potential for real estate agents, mortgage brokers, contractors, house flippers, and other industry players. But what does the business plan for realtors need to cover to be successful? For starters, great answers to the following questions:
• What market will you operate in and what are the conditions for real estate there?
• What are the projections for the industry's performance over the next 5 years?
• What are the historical trendlines for the industry since 2005?
• Will you need any assistants (employees)?
• What are you seeking with the document? If capital, how much?
The business plan should also explore your experience in depth. If you worked at a larger/franchise real estate firm, talk about your experience there including homes sold, total volume and value, and special abilities or strengths. This should become part of your business plan marketing strategy, which also needs to detail the competitive comparables you are up against. What level of competition do you face from RE/MAX, Prudential, and other large firms as opposed to smaller freelance realtors? Where is your niche?
