Signs Your Real Estate Agent Is Losing Interest

Getting a real estate employee doesn't happen at just one click. Intensive screening is done to get the good ones. Once the real estate firm has hired one, an employer-employee relationship coupled with trust is built. The employer then starts looking forward to the success that this new employee can contribute to the company.

But, what if the burning ember starts to subside and the employee starts to lose his interest in what he is doing? You, as a boss, may be alarmed of your subordinate's sudden change of heart and be caught off-guard. Before the push comes to shove, you need to be able to determine as soon as possible the red flags signaling your real estate agent's losing of interest.

They start to keep silent and unwilling to express themselves

Silence could also mean "no" which connotes more than just losing interest in something. If your employee keeps silent most of the time especially during brainstorming meetings and strategical planning, he probably has his own ideas in mind but unwilling to share for unknown reasons or he's simply not interested to involve himself in whatever steps the company wants to take for the common good. Entrepreneurship says this is definitely a red flag. Your employee's silence might project betrayal from his end, and you want to avoid any dishonesty creeping in your beloved industry.

They talk negative things behind your back

Commending and praising someone is good yet criticizing is another story. Unless it's a good report about a person, nobody wants to be backstabbed especially by your subordinate. It doesn't say that employees are not allowed to criticize their superiors as everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion of something or anyone; however, criticisms should be instructive rather than destructive. When your real estate employee talks behind your back of your mistakes, failures, weaknesses, and worst about your personal life, this is a danger sign you should not ignore. After all, as a boss, you want to keep a good name in your company, so allowing your employee to ruin your reputation is but your huge loss.

They keep on repeating the same mistakes

A mistake done more than once is already a decision. It is okay to make mistakes but to have them committed over and over again is unhealthy. You can't just tolerate repeated mistakes especially if they are intentional. So, when you notice that your employee is deliberately doing something contrary to what you have expected and what the company goals are, you should not let this just come to pass. You have to treat this sickness just before it gets worse as this kind of illness can be contagious. It might affect your other employees, who, unlike this ill employee, are performing well in the industry. Again, it's not wrong to make mistakes but if mistakes have been flooding your top real estate industry for quite a time already, this is already beyond alarming.
