In this business, the agent of choice is the agent people know. Making cold calls and working with leads is uncomfortable because you feel like a stranger to those people. So, what is best way to get past being a stranger to everyone you’ve never met? Make them see you EVERYWHERE so it feels like they already know you! I’m talking about ad retargeting. The Wolfe of Real Estate, Erica Wolfe , has used this powerful strategy to skyrocket her business, save a ton of time, and build a wolf-like leve...

If you don’t know Tim Smith , you should. He’s one of my personal clients serving the whole Coastal Orange County area, brought in over $803,000,000 in volume last year, AND he’s speaking at Summit this August. The guy is on FIRE, so he clearly knows a thing or two about what’s hot and what’s not in luxury real estate today. I sat down with Tim to talk about the state of the market, how to educate your clients to the fact that it’s the best time ever to buy, and where you should be focusing your...

Did you know that four out of five of the top marketers across all industries said they’d rather give up SOCIAL MEDIA than email? Yeah… Because email works when you know how to work it. All it takes is knowing what to do – and what not to do – in order to send wildly successful mass email campaigns that people will want to be on the receiving end of. That’s why Jason Pantana is going to show you how to do (and not do) just that. Make sure to watch or listen, like, subscribe, and leave a comment ...

Failure is only as real as you make it. That’s not some corny line; it’s a fact. You can choose to see failure or choose to see feedback. When you choose feedback, failure isn’t even an option.

Everyone who has their own business has thought about their brand. We all talk so much about branding and living into our brand, but most of us haven’t paused to ask the fundamental questions: What does “brand” actually mean? What is the difference between your brand and your marketing? What are the pillars of a successful brand story? Where does YOUR true brand come from? To answer these and so many more questions, I sat down with two of the kings of branding, Marc Davison of 1000watt and Jason...

Let’s not beat around the bush… We ARE in a recession. Maybe it’s not a housing recession, but this is no time to kick our feet up and take it easy. Getting more than our share of the market takes a dialed-in team with no weak links – and that takes some serious accountability. This week, I spoke with Lydia Gable about the importance of drive, the necessity of hard conversations, and how happy everyone can be when you find the right balance. If you feel like your team could benefit from grinding...

It’s easy to become desensitized to marketing tactics when we’re bombarded with them constantly. But do you ever receive a piece in the mail that’s so beautiful it makes you go, “Wow… I didn’t know how much I actually needed this in my life.” Oriana Shea has a bag full of printed pieces that look like art books you’d buy from a museum and a YouTube channel filled with… recipes? Yeah, she has her own cooking show that directly drives a ton of traffic to her real estate business. To compete at a t...

Tough market, you say? No time to mess around, then. I have one, two, three, FOUR of the most amazing women in real estate here in the studio to help me answer the questions, “How do we get those buyers off the fence, and how do we do it faster?” Sarah Allen , Jen Dillard , Keri White , and Glennda Baker not only answer that question – they do it with enough precision to leave time to talk about (obviously) time management and even to give you a few video tips....

What’s the point of putting so much time into social media if all it does is get you likes? The thing is… social media DOES NOT get you business unless you position it to. This week, Jason Pantana is going to show you how to do just that, by displaying your menu of services and using CTAs to invite business into your life. Speaking of CTAs, I could tell you all about them here, or I could tell you to watch or listen for yourself.

Phil Gerdes has always been a super-scaler, Rockstar agent. But this last December, Phil attended a particularly intense mastermind that changed his entire approach to video, branding, and communicating to his audience. As soon as he returned home, he called an emergency meeting with his entire team to tell them that everything was about to be different. And the results have been extreme. His following has grown almost 50x what it was just a few months ago, and he’s become something of a local c...

Do you run a team where your agents aren’t performing at a top level? Are you starting to build a team and aren’t certain of how to onboard your agents? The first thing you need is a coach. The second is to listen to the process Steve Rovithis uses. Steve runs one of the biggest “teamerages” in the country, with over 120 salespeople across four regions. It’s not surprising that Steve studied biology in college, because he has a fundamental understanding of how things grow, and this week he spoke...

This week, we’re talking about a unique (and potentially more powerful) form of confidence. Dan Prud’Homme is a master salesman. He always said he only wanted to sell and had no interest in managing. But then something happened, and now Dan is running a super successful “teamerage” where he devotes all his energy to helping other agents discover their own power. I sat down with Dan expecting to talk about how to close more deals, and he definitely delivers that. But what he also delivers is a se...

Times are changing all over the country. In Austin, Texas, there are close to 15,000 licensed agents, and last year they all had to split an inventory of just around 900 homes. As you’d expect from this kind of market, the top 10% of agents rise to the top and close nearly all the deals. So, how do we get into the 10%, and even better – how do we stand out as the luxury agent of choice? Discussing this question with me is Monica Fabbio. We’re talking big money sales and how Monica is managing to...

Emily Terrell does it all; she’s a mother, powerbroker, real estate coach, and investor. Oddly enough, Emily sometimes refers to herself as the laziest agent in real estate, because she’s found a way to maximize her efficiency so that she can easily attract clients while spending time with her family. It all comes down to her systems and long-term strategy. Emily doesn’t do anything without a purpose, and that means everything she does is directly connected to her brand. This week, I spoke with ...

We have Rockstar agent Doug Edrington back in the house, talking to me about LPMAMA! If you’re not familiar, it’s a set of talking points for covering all your bases when converting leads into clients. But this isn’t your mama’s LPMAMA. No, Doug’s made it cleaner, meaner, and added a bonus “S” at the end, which (just like an “S” at the end of most words) multiplies its potential. If now is your first time hearing about it, this is the best way to learn. And if you already know LPMAMA, Doug’s goi...

Greetings from the Mohegan Sun Hotel and Casino in beautiful Uncasville, Connecticut! I’m here with Super-Team, Byron Lazine and Nicole White. When Byron and Nicole met back in 2016, they recognized the rare opportunity for a mastermind partnership which couldn’t be passed up, even if it meant relocating and beginning a new team from day one. Good thing they did, because today they’re running multiple monster businesses, putting out several regular shows, and are continuing to scale at a ridicul...
