My ability to listen and keep open minded

Connections.

Great answers you got. 

Best of luck.

Organization and communication arre two useful skills I have acquired. 

Ariane,

The skill of listening to what is needed and wanted in all aspects of the profession, whether it is prospecting, negotiating or showing.  A

prospecting

Face o face conversation

I am a great negotiator and problem solver and instill trust. 

Innovative

Listening is the number one skill that has lead to my success closely followed by keeping my mouth shut and not feeling a need to fill "awkward silence" with stupidity.

Over a decade handling negotiations and fiduciary agency.

#1 is negotiation. Add networking, marketing, communication skills, accounting, bookkeeping, etc. etc. etc. 

Communication and experience!

Ariane Taylor - for me, my engineering background has made me detailed person - which is good for my clients, specially when I prepare the market analysis for them.

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.

Knowledge (I also worked as an assistant for a top producer) and that I'm bilingual. 

Problem solving skills.  

It's like a potato chip, bet you can't eat just one.

I agree with multitasking, as I used to be a Police dispatcher.  Typing sure helps as well as being able to read and write!

The ability to listen is number one!

Ariane...anyone who can nod their head while someone else is talking will do very well in any field. Its called listening by its familiar name

Talking  and being an effective communicator . It's hard to be successful if you cannot communicate and get " the deal" fine as DT always says .

Many years of public relations and advertising on a national and international level. I am comfortable in any situation whether going to the White House to climbing Ayers Rock in Australia, buying or selling any kind of real estate in California and  Hawaii.

    Several skills from different careers.

    Military discipline from my time in the U.S. Air Force.  People skills from my position as a ballroom dance instructor, also sales and management skills when I was interim manager for that dance school.  Number crunching and paperwork from my time as an accountant with the State of Florida.  Technology skills from working with my brother's SEO firm. 

Problem solving and sales.

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.

I have some of the same skills as you mentioned as I was a CSR too.

Ariane Taylor Knowledge and experience.

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.

More than I can list here.

People skills. 

Customer Service 

Knowledge and experience.

Negotiation skills

Communication and relationship management.

parked and reading
