5 Daily Habits of Successful People
If you’re looking to take your real estate business to the next level, then you’re in the right place! Today, I’m sharing five powerful habits that highly successful real estate agents use to scale their businesses and achieve long-term success.
Let’s dive right in!
1. Start with a Strong Morning Routine
One of the biggest game-changers for top-performing real estate agents is a structured morning routine. A great resource for this is The Miracle Morning for Real Estate Agents by Hal Elrod. In this book, he introduces the SAVERS method:
S – Silence (meditation or quiet reflection)
A – Affirmations (positive self-talk and goal reinforcement)
V – Visualization (seeing your success before it happens)
E – Exercise (moving your body for energy and focus)
R – Reading (learning something new each day)
S – Scribing (journaling to clarify thoughts and track progress)
Personally, as a mom of four, I know how hectic mornings can get! But when I wake up an hour or two before my kids, I can complete my morning routine and start my day with clarity and focus. This simple habit sets the tone for a productive and successful day.
2. Stick to a Daily Schedule
Successful agents don’t just “wing it” each day—they plan ahead. While no two days in real estate are the same, having a structured schedule helps you maximize productivity.
Block out time for income-producing activities like lead generation, follow-ups, and client meetings.
Use your peak energy hours wisely—mornings are typically the best time for deep work.
Schedule time for personal development—reading, learning, and networking are just as important as transactions.
A well-planned schedule will not only boost your efficiency but also help you stay balanced and avoid burnout.
3. Surround Yourself with the Right People
They say you’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with, and this is especially true in real estate. If you’re currently the biggest fish in your pond, it’s time to swim with bigger fish!
Seek out masterminds and networking groups with high-level agents.
Partner with professionals who push you to grow.
Learn from top producers—how they structure their business, market themselves, and close deals.
When you surround yourself with agents who are doing business at the level you aspire to, your mindset and strategies will naturally elevate.
4. Never Stop Learning
The real estate industry is always evolving, and the most successful agents are lifelong learners.
Stay informed about market trends, local neighborhoods, and industry changes.
Deep dive into niche areas that interest you—whether that’s luxury homes, new construction, or investment properties.
Attend trainings, webinars, and conferences to sharpen your skills and stay ahead of the competition.
Being an expert in your market builds trust with clients and positions you as the go-to real estate professional in your area.
5. Leverage Social Media
If you’re not utilizing social media, you’re leaving money on the table. Social media is a game-changer for modern real estate marketing, allowing you to attract clients instead of constantly chasing leads.
Pick a platform and show up consistently. (For me, it’s Instagram and YouTube!)
Share valuable content—market updates, home-buying tips, behind-the-scenes insights.
Engage with your audience—answer questions, comment on posts, and build relationships.
By being active on social media, you’ll stay top of mind with potential buyers and sellers. And when they’re ready to make a move, they’ll think of you first!
Final Thoughts
Success in real estate isn’t about luck—it’s about the habits you implement every day. By developing a strong morning routine, creating a structured schedule, surrounding yourself with high-level agents, continuously learning, and leveraging social media, you’ll set yourself up for long-term success.
