Real estate agents don’t have an easy job in this market. Many agents have been surprised by the sudden drop in prices and commissions. Many agents hoped the real estate boom would last forever and are now scrambling to cope with the changing market.

But in any market, there is money to be made. Making money in a down market as a real estate agent comes down to choosing right niches and focusing your marketing on a certain niche. In this article, we will look at the niche of investor clients and the niche of affluent homeowners.

Affluent home owners are almost always a good bet in down times. Many affluent home owners have the means to sit any crisis out. Many affluent home owners are even inclined to buy because of the fact that they can buy when everyone is selling.

Investors can make a killing in down markets. A certain part of the investor market was almost wiped out when the mortgage crisis hit, but a big part is profiting immensely from these changing market conditions. If you manage to target this niche, you gain customers that have buying power, that are willing to buy and have the means to give a seller financial certainty.

Whatever niche you pick as a real estate agent, be it investors, affluent homeowners or another, be sure to focus on the marketing part of your operation. Develop unique services for these niche markets and stand out from the competition. This way, when competitors left and right are quitting, you can prosper in these difficult times.
