Networking made easy — This may seem obvious, but joining a professional organization populated by others excelling in your field is a one-stop-shop for endless networking opportunities. However, this goes far beyond the simple act of adding names to your contact sheet. A local or even statewide real estate scene can be surprisingly small. If you’ve made pleasantries with another agent or lender through a professional organization, you’ve already built a baseline of understanding should you cross paths while doing business. On the other hand, if you need to reach out to a fellow agent or lender in the course of a deal who you don’t know, your professional organization could provide a common connection that will make your introduction easier.
