Here is a simple outline of Goal Setting for your Realtor Business Plan.
- MY FINANCIAL GOAL for this year (next 12 months) is to earn pre-tax income of $______________________.
- MY LISTING GOAL for this year is to take ____________listings for the year, or _____________listings for each month, or one listing every ___________days.
- To work an average of _________hours per week of which at least 65% is highly productive (“Hot Time”)
- To work a maximum of ________days a week and take ________weekends off a month.
- To take ____________vacations during the course of the year.
- To Prospect a minimum of ___________hours a week of which a minimum of 65% is “HOT” and 35% is “WARM”.
NOTE:
“Hot” Time is that time spent ‘one on one’ with someone who can give you a “Yes” or “No” answer to a question indicating their interest in buying or selling real estate.
Examples of “Hot” Time:
- Showing Properties
- Presenting an Offer
- Asking for a Price Reduction
- Canvassing Past Clients for Referrals
- Contacting FSBO’s
- Follow Up by phone on Mail Campaigns or Web Site Leads
- Doing a Listing Presentation
- Contacting Expired Listings
- Holding Open Houses
- Visiting Unlisted Builders on Site
- Cold Calling for Leads
- Door Knocking Prospecting for Leads
A minimum of 65% of your working time should be “Hot” Time.
“WARM” Time is the real estate oriented time, that is very necessary, but will not give you a “Yes” or “No” answer to a real estate buying or selling decision.
More and more successful realtors are utilizing the services of a paid Assistant to perform some of the “WARM” time tasks.
Examples of “WARM” Time:
- Writing Ads
- Attending Sales Meetings
- Pulling Expiries
- Clipping FSBO’s from the newspapers
- Pre-Viewing Homes
- Attending Agents Open Houses
- Attending Educational & Motivational Seminars
- Updating Websites & Web marketing campaigns

You must hold yourself and/or your team accountable. You wrote the plan and set the goals with the intent of achieving them.
Break the goals into smaller, more measurable pieces and monitor the results regularly. A Realtor business plan that can’t be measured is almost always destined for failure.
Create small steps and measurable wins — celebrate them with your team and recharge for your next goal. If you find in the future that goals are unrealistic, adjust them, but keep this practice infrequent and logical.
