I utilize all the skills I acquired during a lifetime of working in various occupations. Every job/career I have had in 40+ years has been a stepping stone to the next level and the skills and knowledge I acquired previously were easily portable to the next position so I built on that foundation. Real estate was a culmination of many years of both life experience and business experience for me and I think those skills are important in what I do now. Thinking outside the box is an added plus and a skill that I seem to have an innate ability.

Ariane, there are two parts to your question. What skill transferred to real estate? I will let other answer that.

Now, "..add most to your success.." is an entirely different question.

This boils down to a process of self examination that culminates in the answer to the following question. On the face, is doesn't seem right. On the other side the light comes on.  The answer to this question adds the most to an agents success: "What do you imagine would have been the cost to the client had they not accepted your invitation?"

The amazing thing is, the same answer will be true regarding the agents previous life, the one before real estate.

From this response the agent constructs their business promoting the solutons, outcomes or transformation  that draw their costumers, and everybody else, to them.

Technology, being able to talk to people and break things down into terms they can understand.  I did IT Security for the nation's largest hospital management company.  Highly technical and confusing to end users (nurses, doctors, etc.) so I got a LOT of experience in those areas, plus negotiating and finding a "win-win" for the hosptial managment and the security program.
