Getting your first break.
My first break in home finding came through a friend. She had a problem when one of her "reliable" home finder colleagues let her down. I helped her out, enjoyed it and went on from there.
The first break several other people had, that I know as successful Homefinders, was meeting me. I trained them how to do it and, several years later they still are happily and enjoyably doing so.
In other words your first break can come from anywhere.
The key thing is to capitalise on it and build from that. My background is possibly different from yours. I have spent 25+ years in the property market. Yet I did not do my first Home find until I was in my forties (I am still am for a few more years yet!). I probably found it easier to do than many as I had also recruited other Homefinders for other businesses.
To create your first break you just need to focus on where the most likely source of business is.
Who do you know in the business community? They may know people that could need your service. Do you know any builders on the look out for land? Ask friends that work who the Human Resources contact would be and follow that up with a letter or telephone call. Have you made people around you aware that you are a Homefinder, or going to be one?
"From little acorns great trees grow".....but if you don't plant a few acorns of your own, nothing will grow!
If you want to do Corporate Homefinding then the local HR departments are where you should contact. If you want to get work from relocation companies then contact them. If you want work from high net worth individuals then get work from them, or network with people that do know them. If you want to know how to do all that then contact me.
There are lots of ways of creating your first break and if you would like help creating yours drop me an email henry@homefindingasabusiness.co.uk or go www.homefindingasabusiness.co.uk
