Networking events often come with free drinks, but keep it professional. Limit yourself to one or two drinks. You want to be memorable for the right reasons.
If you know things could spiral into an all-night affair, plan ahead. Have someone with you to keep things in check. Use Uber or Lyft if you’ve had a few too many.
At around 8:36 PM, be ready to wind down. After this point, most people are just there for the social aspect. You’ve likely achieved all you can business-wise by this time.
In conclusion, successful networking in real estate is about having a clear goal, using best practices, and being prepared for various interactions. Whether you’re seeking money partners, deals, or contractors, approaching networking events strategically can help you maximize your time and connections.
Remember to qualify your contacts to ensure you’re building valuable relationships and to handle awkward situations gracefully. Keep your professionalism intact by setting boundaries and knowing when to leave. By following these guidelines, you’ll be well on your way to making meaningful connections that can drive your real estate success.
