Send me a message In a listing presentation, a Realtor needs to win the trust of the seller. Trust that you as the real estate agent are the one who can not only do what the sellers want done, but who will take the best care of the seller. Trust that the Realtor can protect the sellers from any threats. When a Realtor can show the seller a potential pitfall or problem, in this case wire fraud, but then offer up a solution to it, and demonstrate to the seller that you provide them that solution, ...

Send me a message No doubt, there are some problems that Realtors run into with Facebook Ads. Many real estate agents are frustrated by ads being rejected automatically. So many things Realtors need to consider when running Facebook Ads. Did you check the Special Ad Category box for Housing? Are you using any restricted words or phrases in your ads? Did the Facebook algorithm screw up and reject your ad when it shouldn't have? These issues are frustrating, but they are not road blocks. They're s...

This man has taught me so much about building a successful BUSINESS that doesn't need you for it to run. He and his team of 28 agents are doing $100+ million in real estate sales per year, and he personally only works 2 hours per week overseeing the business. Crazy! Clayton was awesome enough to lay out his blueprint for Realtors to follow and do the same. Clayton Gits also owns a m...

Those real estate agents who consistently fill their database with new leads and contacts are sure to grow their business over time. But which Facebook ads work the best to get real estate leads?

Send me a message Realtors are the worst at saying No. Agents say yes to damn near everything, and are surprised that they never seem to get much done. There is power in saying No, and in doing less. This week I'll tell you about the book I'm reading called Essentialism , that teaches you how to say No more often so you can do less... but better. Realtors, who are notorious for being pulled in a million directions, need to learn the power of focus. That focus begins with learning to say No more ...

Send me a message To be successful in real estate, do you keep doing the same thing over and over forever? Or do you need to make pivots and adjustments from time to time? The correct answer is obviously, the latter. But when should you make a pivot? Which way do you pivot? Realtors everywhere have had to make pivots and adjustments to their business plans since Covid hit in February/March. But arguably no residential Realtor has been affected more than Jayson Siano and his commercial real estat...

Send me a message Selling more homes by doing fewer tasks? Yep. So many Realtors spend a huge chunk of their time doing things that they could hire out for $15-$20/hr, and then they wonder why they are stuck. Real Estate agents, it's hard to grow when you haven't grown the amount of income producing activities that you do regularly. Every single Realtor should be outsourcing most of their administrative paperwork and other non-income producing tasks. As you'll hear on this podcast episode, there...

If your house is built on a weak foundation, it doesn't stand a chance. Well, that's your listing presentation when it's focused on the wrong thing. Realtors, winning listing presentations isn't rocket science. Now, it's not EASY, but it is simple. Real Estate Agents really only need to hit on a few points in their listing presentati...

If it's net income, then why the hell is your primary goal to sell a certain amount of homes? See what I mean? Many real estate agents have the wrong primary goal. Realtors are setting goals based on what the industry is focused on, and what they hear other fellow real estate agents talking about and bragging about online...

Send me a message Real estate agents, the hard truth is this... if you, as a Realtor, aren't visible online or on social media, you don't exist. If you cant be found or discovered online, you literally don't exist. And any business that can't be found or discovered just simply cannot survive, regardless if they're in real estate, or any other industry. So how then, do you ensure that you show up online and present yourself well whenever a potential client goes to look you up? It all starts with,...

One of the best examples of keeping video marketing simple AF is Alec Hanson, Senior Vice President of Production at LoanDepot. He only ...

But it wasn't until I began to learn about psychology and considering the mindset of the other side of a transaction that I realized that I was LAZY! How was I lazy? In a few ways actually. I'd bet money that you are actually being lazy and leaving money on the table in one of these ways too. In this...

Send me a message When most real estate agents think of "networking" they think of a bunch of professionals in a room together, with a stack of business cards, intent on nothing more than just telling everyone else what they do for work. Realtors take it a step further and they try to make sure every stranger they come across knows that they're an agent. But do those Realtors make an effort to learn about the other person? Of course not. If that's how you've been using social media to network, y...
