Do you have to be talkative to succeed as a realtor?

No, you don’t have to be talkative to succeed as a realtor. Successful real estate agents rely on clear communication, strong listening skills, and consistent follow-up rather than nonstop talking. Using a seventy-thirty listen-to-talk ratio helps agents understand client needs effectively. Instead of many words, thoughtful, concise dialogue and reliable responsiveness build trust and close deals efficiently.
