This May marks Inman’s sixth annual Agent Appreciation Month. Look for profiles of top producers, opinions on the current state of the industry and tangible takeaways you can implement in your career today. Plus, the prestigious Future Leaders of Real Estate return this month, too.

TAKE THE INMAN INTEL SURVEY FOR MAY
Hard-charging negotiator? Calm, wise advisor? Perfectly poised social butterfly? Today’s agents have to play all those roles and more, depending on the market, the circumstances and the needs of their clients. It’s not enough to know your stuff; you’ve got to be able to combine top-tier marketing with deep-down understanding of the market’s intricacies.
We’re wondering what trait you think best defines today’s top real estate agents? Is it their public image or their behind-the-scenes networking skills? Is it their social media presence or their in-person impact? What do the best agents have that others don’t — and how can new agents duplicate that magic? Let us know below:
We’ll compile a list of the top responses and post them on Inman next Tuesday.
