All real estate professionals have dreamt of the same ideal: that someday, somewhere, there will be a perfect market—a real estate Lake Wobegon where things carry on pretty much as they always have, where all the leads are strong, all the houses are good-looking, and all the prices are above average.

When a roadblock like this appears, it’s time to get creative.

When interviewing top-producing agents recently, profitable and productive strategies emerged. Here are some ideas to get you thinking in a new direction.
