Behavioural Profiling
for Real Estate BDMs
Your guide to selecting BDM’s who achieve superior performance.
Why do you need BDM Behavioural Profiling?
You have a position available for a Property Management BDM, and you need to find someone to fill the role. You have interviewed two candidates but how do you know if either of them has the natural behaviours to match the job?
It is difficult to select an employee based on a couple of meetings because anyone can put on a big act for a short time, but that’s unsustainable long term.
As an example: How hard is it to sustain a high-performance eating and fitness program for a year? (Let alone a lifetime). It’s hard, it takes a lot of energy and discipline… unless you naturally behave that way, and there are people that do, you are going to find it difficult to keep it up.
So, whenever you are recruiting for a BDM or any position for that matter, you ideally want to select and find someone who naturally fits in the role, and there are people that do. This is where our BDM Behavioural Profiling comes in.
Real Estate Dynamics are accredited practitioners of Extended DISC (not to be confused with D.I.S.C.). The EDISC assessment forms the basis of the BDM Behavioural Profiling and help you to understand a recruit’s individual behaviour relevant to the key competencies for a BDM role.
Our assessments are practical and MORE IMPORTANTLY, they are relevant to Real Estate and consider roles with a specific knowledge – in this case; Property Management Business Development.
The assessment produces a psychometric algorithm-based report that establishes an answering pattern based on the candidate’s selection of answers.
What is notable is that the validity of the reports is tested across a research population of over 1 million people and in over 76 languages AND is tested every 2 years to ensure good reliability. The reports are found to be 88% valid.
The Extended DISC® Assessments (EDISC) could be your secret weapon to get the best from your BDM’s and salespeople by improving their performance and ultimately your bottom line.

The system can identify an individual’s natural selling style and match the ideal candidate to the role you want to be filled.

The difference between D.I.S.C. and Extended DISC
The DISC assessment system was designed to measure how an individual behaves in different environments. It uses a combination of factors to determine the score, including behaviour, personality and environment (both social and physical). As our personalities change very little during our life, the only way to influence different behaviours is to control or alter the environment.
In the workplace this can be tricky as they consist of different personalities. Therefore, it is important that you select the right mix of people to be on your team, to ensure they work effectively together for higher performance.
Why Extended DISC is better
Extended DISC is an advanced level of DISC. It uses a validated psychometric algorithm to determine an individual’s natural and adjusted behavioural tendencies while taking both conscious and unconscious behaviour into consideration.
The assessment gives insight into how an individual may respond to difficulties, various work environments, procedures and other team members. This is laid out in a detailed report that explains the person’s strengths and weaknesses and outlines a development plan to help them enhance their performance.
The Extended DISC® Assessments are part of the daily management system in thousands of organisations all over the world and they provide information that is practical and specific to your agency.
How EDISC can help your Agency grow
Success in property management Rent Roll growth depends on how well your BDM’s keep ahead of Rent Roll attrition. Having BDM’s that possess key behavioural traits such as determination, relationship skills, the ability to interact with clients and no hesitation to prospecting are important, but how do you find these people?
Top performers are confidently self-aware and able to communicate their message or presentation with little stress or pressure.
They understand their behavioural style and how they need to behave and interact to be successful. They also understand how other people behave and thus have an exceptional ability to relate, communicate and influence, which is crucially important when selling and creating relationships.
EDISC can help you as the hiring manager, quickly identify and match the right mix of skills and competencies.
