In the fast-paced world of real estate, busy agents often find themselves conducting business from their vehicles. Having the right supplies at your fingertips is imperative for professionals on the go. Consider these must-have items to boost your productivity in the field:
Powerful flashlight. Keep a good flashlight on hand to help illuminate dark basements, foundations, electrical panels, attics, and crawl spaces.
Laser measure or tape measure. Agents may need to verify square footage or help buyers determine whether their furniture will fit in a space.
Weather-appropriate gear. Stay comfortable and prepared for potential weather conditions by keeping an umbrella, lightweight jacket, and sunscreen in the car.
Safety items. Keep a well-stocked first aid kit and essential tools in your car. Consider investing in a personal safety alarm and always inform colleagues or loved ones of your location.
Refreshments. Keep your energy levels adequate with snacks and water. Staying hydrated and nourished helps ensure you’re performing at optimal levels when you’re on the road.
Marketing materials. Keep copies of the Moving Guide from Old Republic Home Protection’s Agent Toolbox and some branded note cards to leave at For Sale By Owner (FSBO) listings.
The best agents understand the importance of adaptability and efficiency in real estate. Keeping your vehicle stocked with essential supplies helps prepare you for success while in the field.
