Tips For Becoming a Successful Ho Chi Minh Property Agent

 Real estate is one of the most competitive industries in Vietnam, so if you want to become a successful property agent in Ho Chi Minh City, you should pay attention to the following tips: 

One of the most important advices you will ever get in this industry is to “Develop relations with your partners & customers”. Building a strong relation with either of them will most likely lead to an increase in leads through referrals. 

2. Tap vendors and investors for leads

You should get information from investors & suppliers. They will be the ones who give you information about the apartment so that you can exploit the information and contact the landlord. In addition, capturing information from them will help market segmentation better, which will enable companies to come up with a more suitable strategy.

3. Don’t turn down any deals

Sometimes a buyer's or a seller's request will not be in your favor. Those transactions will not be profitable or have a high commission percentage, but they may introduce your company as one of the TOP property agents in Ho Chi Minh which could lead to an increase in transactions through referrals.

4. Cultivate an online presence

Marketing on social media is crucial to the success of any business, and engaging your customers regularly helps to enhance your image. Social media allows you to interact and transact with your customers on a personal level.

While being on Facebook is good, expanding beyond it can lead to greater success. Zalo is being used by many property agents in Ho Chi Minh City to have a greater reach of potential customers and to expand their network with other agents. Other online platforms such as batdongsan.vn can be very efficient channels for lead generation.

5. Have good negotiation skills

Another important skill that all agents need to develop to be successful is “Negotiation”. This is usually the key factor when closing or losing a deal. More often than you would like you will encounter situations in which buyer & seller or tenant & landlord fail to agree with some of the terms requested by either side (price, leasing period, pets issues, furniture requests, etc) and your job is too make sure that all parties involved come into an agreement which benefits all of them. Having good negotiation skills will make the whole process easier and faster, and it will lead to an increase in your company’s success rate.
