Real estate is a volatile business; a successful agent knows how to navigate the economic ups and downs to make the best deals for clients and to earn a good living for themselves. For example, since the crash of 2008, dedicated Florida real estate agents have been working tirelessly to bring the housing market back to life.

According to the HUD Census Report, sales were stronger in July of 2016 than in the past decade. Of course, the stronger economy has much to do with the trend, but hardworking agents boost the numbers as well.

The best thing agents can do for themselves is keep up with trends and technology. An agent must be able to communicate their skills and listings to interested clients.

One thing that has changed the world as we know it is social media. When the Internet first caught on, few people realized the implications. The same could be said for social media.

Through Facebook and Twitter, agents may reach out with a more personal touch. Instagram gives the option of showing listings to countless more people than before. Today’s effective realtors are savvy users, such as the 20 Florida real estate agents listed here.

The rankings are based on a mix of followers, engagement and real estate success. Enjoy!
