My Story (Part IV)

Acknowledgement
Mr Dannie Soh, my first real estate manager who nurtured and guided me at the start of my career. Especial thanks goes to my wife who is ever so supportive of my work. I also owe thanks to my Dad, for lending me $10,000 to start off my real estate career despite not knowing when he would get it back, and to my Mum, who worried constantly about my business and has been giving me lots of referrals. And lastly, thanks to God, who owns everything I possess. He never fails to provide for my family and has made my journey in real estate an enriching one.

Summary of Alvin Yeo's Key Success Factors:

1. Integrity 
Serve the client's interests before yours. In the industry, there are black sheep willing to exploit any situation. Don't be one of them.

2. Speed 
React to queries promptly. This is an asset, especially to new agents competing with industry veterans with years of experience.

3. Look for Alternatives 
Don't reinvent the wheel. It's not about doing different things but doing the same things differently.

4. Passion 
The job involves helping another human being and adding value to that person's life. If the motivation is only money, any initial enthusiasm for the job will fizzle out quickly and the work will become a chore.

5. Learn from failure 
Dare to take risks even if it involves failure. If that happens, learn from the mistakes and improve.

6. Macro approach 
Look at the big picture and don't be hindered by a small hitch in the process.
