How Top Agents Close More Deals in Today’s Competitive Market

By Jacqueline Smith

Jacqueline Smith started in real estate in 2015 and sold 52 homes her first year in the business as a solo agent. After considering growing her own team, and exploring different team models, she decided to partner with Place in 2017. The partnership allowed her to fast track her growth, and provide better systems and models to her agent partners. Her and her team in Vancouver Washington now close over $165M in annual sales volume, while keeping the quality of the agent and client experience at the forefront.

How many deals have you closed in the first quarter of 2025? If you’re a real estate agent in Clark County or Southwest Washington, you’ve likely heard people say, “The market’s slow right now.” You might have even said it yourself. But while some agents are waiting for things to pick up, others are busy closing deals.

At Evergreen Real Estate Partners, we closed 30 transactions in March alone, which is nearly one home sold every day. As we finished the first quarter, we’re doing better than we were last year.

How’s Our Current Real Estate Market Doing?

The housing market in Clark County and Southwest Washington is strong. Right now, we’re seeing motivated buyers ready to make moves, strategic sellers listing their homes with purpose, and deals happening every day.

So, if your first quarter didn’t go as planned, it might not be the market that’s holding you back—it could be your strategy.

What Sets Top Real Estate Agents Apart?

Top performers don’t wait for the market to be perfect; they make it work for them. Here’s what sets our team apart:

• They focus their prospecting.

• They master their CRM.

• They follow up relentlessly.

If you know you can achieve more but feel stuck, it may be because you lack the structure and support to scale. Growth requires a solid plan, accountability, and sometimes an outside perspective to identify what’s working and what’s not.
