Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 3 Exam Practice

What should a real estate salesperson do during duty time to make it most productive?

1. Provide little opportunity to meet potential clients and customers.

2. Organize and inform oneself about relevant listed property.

3. Mandatory requirement for new salespersons joining real estate brokerages.

4. Can only be productive in a small brokerage.

5. Minimize client interaction and focus on paperwork.

6. Work on marketing strategies unrelated to current listings.

The correct answer is: Organize and inform oneself about relevant listed property.

The choice regarding organizing and informing oneself about relevant listed property is highly effective for a real estate salesperson during duty time. By gaining extensive knowledge about properties on the market, a salesperson can offer valuable insights to clients, answer queries promptly, and position themselves as a knowledgeable resource. This preparation builds confidence, enhances customer service, and helps in making informed recommendations to clients, ultimately leading to increased sales opportunities and client satisfaction. In contrast, the other options do not contribute to productivity. Avoiding opportunities to meet potential clients limits the ability to grow a client base, while focusing excessively on paperwork or marketing unrelated to current listings detracts from the essential tasks of engaging with clients and understanding market trends. Working exclusively in a small brokerage does not inherently lead to productivity; it is the strategies and actions taken by the salesperson that drive effectiveness, regardless of the size of the brokerage.
