The Day I Wrote About

“The Property Market That Can’t Go On,
and Small Agents Losing Their Ground.”
.
Someone asked me afterward:
“So… is there still any chance for small agents
who don’t have deep pockets or AI support?”
That’s where this article began.

πŸ’₯πŸ”₯ The Small Agent Survival Game: How to Stay Alive Without Being Disrupted! πŸ”₯πŸ’₯
.
.
If today,
you’re still just an ordinary agent
sipping coffee in the morning
and posting listings the same old way —
Let me be honest:
you’ll disappear in a few years.
.
Because this world is being taken over by
AI + Proptech + Marketplace
systems that are faster, smarter, cheaper,
and connect buyers directly
without middlemen.
.
Before anything else, you must understand
how the game has changed.
.
βœ… Buyers now search for everything by themselves.
βœ… Real-time reviews and data make them trust systems more than people.
βœ… Agents without “added value” are seen as unnecessary costs.
.
Survival doesn’t mean you must change the game —
you just have to rebuild trust
in things technology can’t replace.
Here’s how you find the light in this chaos.
.
.
🎯 1. Shift from “Agent” to “Trust Builder.”
People don’t always buy the cheapest home.
They buy from someone they trust.
.
Stop being just a tour guide.
Become the partner who brings peace of mind.
βœ… Inspect deeper than AI — noise, neighbors, sunlight.
βœ… Tell the Home Story — origin, vibe, pros, cons, no sugarcoating.
βœ… Stay post-deal — assist with transfer, find contractors, garden setup, or pet-friendly condos.
.
πŸ’‘ When they see you as a partner, not a salesperson = You survive! πŸ’‘
.
.
πŸ’£ 2. Pick a Niche and Go Deeper Than Anyone Else.
Big agents go wide.
Small agents go deep.
.
Examples of niche markets:
🏑 Homes for pet lovers
πŸ‘΅ Homes for the elderly
🌳 Wellness & health-focused homes
🎨 Creative spaces for artists and designers
✨ Luxury homes symbolizing achievement
πŸ’° Budget-friendly homes for dream builders
.
πŸ’‘ When clients see you as a specialist = they stop comparing prices and agents πŸ’‘
.
.
⚑ 3. Use Technology as a Partner, Not an Enemy.
AI isn’t your rival — it’s your assistant.
.
Use AI to:
πŸ“Š analyze pricing
πŸ“ˆ forecast trends
✍️ draft property content
.
Use CRM to record client insights:
(What they like, what they fear, what they hate.)
.
Automate your paperwork.
Spend time with clients, not with documents.
.
.
🀝 4. Build Your Own Micro Community.
Stop trying to sell every property to everyone.
Build your own small online home.
.
Facebook or LINE groups for:
🐱 pet lovers,
πŸ₯ retirees seeking homes near hospitals,
πŸŽ“ alumni helping juniors find housing.
.
πŸ’‘ When your community grows strong = You won’t chase leads. Leads will find you. πŸ’‘
.
.
🧠 5. Collect Data Like a Detective.
When talking to clients,
don’t just listen — record everything.
βœ… Afraid of road noise?
βœ… Dislike temples nearby?
βœ… Concerned about feng shui?
.
πŸ’‘ When you follow up with precision, clients are amazed.
That’s real data-driven service — with a heart, not just numbers. πŸ’‘
.
.
πŸ₯· 6. Don’t Fight Alone — Collaborate.
You can’t survive this market solo.
Team up with agents in the same lane.
Share listings, leads, and knowledge.
.
πŸ’‘ Try multi-agent live tours —
discussing homes together makes viewers trust more! πŸ’‘
.
.
πŸ’₯ Summary: The Survival Formula for Small Agents
βœ… Dare to be different → Be clear in your niche & expertise
βœ… Build trust → Go deeper than house tours
βœ… Use tech wisely → Treat it as a tool, not a rival
βœ… Create community → Let clients come to you
βœ… Master client data → Close every deal sharply
βœ… Join forces → Skill alone isn’t enough, teamwork wins
.
πŸ”₯ If you want to survive,
become someone irreplaceable —
not just someone selling houses. πŸ”₯
