The economy we knew pre-COVID no longer exists, and many people who once lived in the city to be closer to work and schools are now doing everything remotely. All this has contributed to urban flight on a grand scale, so it’s time for agents to switch up their strategies. 

We’re seeing a massive shift in what the consumer wants out of their home, and as real estate professionals, it’s our duty to help them find the property that best suits their new needs. What can we do to assist city homeowners in relocating to the suburbs or rural areas?

How long will the mass exodus last, and what does the move away from cities mean for property owners, both residential and commercial? 

In this episode, the author, residential real estate expert, and host of the eRealEstateCoach Podcast, Jim Remley shares how to respond to urban flight as agents and community leaders. 

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode

  • How to show urban sellers we’re open for business:

Take a look through every marketing piece we share and scan for the word ‘relocations’. If it’s not already there, add it in, stat! We have to let urban clients know we’re on hand to help them leave the city. 

  • How rural agents can set themselves up for booming business:

Start reaching out to Realtors in nearby urban markets. By building great relationships with the agents in feeder markets now, we’ll be the first people they think of when a client decides to relocate.

  • How to use social media to identify potential clients during the exodus: 

Linkedin offers a ton of opportunities for lead generation because it lets us see where people work. Look for people working remotely and reach out to see if they would be interested in relocating to the market we serve. It may sound like a long shot at first, but we’re bound to get a response from someone.

Despite all the technology available to us, many agents are still using old-school marketing strategies and hoping for above-average results. If we want to dominate our markets, we have to up our game. 

The consumer of today is online, and if we aren’t staying in front of them digitally, our competitors will be. To make our mark on the industry, we have to start investing in high-tech solutions that enable us to track our leads all over the internet.

Which technologies will allow us to target our audience wherever they are? How can we use advanced software to stay ahead of our competitors every step of the way? 

In this episode, co-founder and co-developer of KlevrLeads, Jake Wolfe shares how to dominate the industry with next-level marketing tools. 

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode:

 

  • How retargeting pixels take us from average agent to advanced marketer:

The only way to stand out in this business is by becoming ambassadors of our craft. We have to stay top of mind for everyone in our database, and the best way to do that is by consistently trapping our leads in retargeting pixels. 

  • How geofencing keeps us in front of the audience everywhere they go:

The biggest players in every industry are using geofencing to target their databases wherever they are, and agents should follow suit. By taking advantage of geolocating services to earmark where our leads are spending time, we can ensure they’re constantly surrounded by our ads.

  • Why it’s important to put pressure on our competitors:

Everyone in our market is competing for the same leads, so we have to put pressure on our competition. Advanced software like KlevrLeads makes this possible by targeting our competitors’ leads with advertising that dissuades them from doing business with anyone but us.

As most entrepreneurs will attest, profitability doesn’t happen overnight. In order to make money, we have to put a ton of money, time, and energy into our projects, but what if that wasn’t the case?

 

Buying businesses means we don’t have to go through the process of building a company from the ground up. However, many of us haven’t even considered purchasing established businesses because we simply don’t know how to do it.

 

How can we get started with acquisitions, and how can we be sure we’re buying the right companies? How can we afford to buy a business in the first place? 

 

In this clip, co-founder of Unconventional Acquisitions, Ryan Snow shares everything we need to know before buying a business. 

 

Look at the biggest expense your business has and ask yourself ‘what if I owned the company I’m outsourcing to?’ -Ryan Snow

 

Things You’ll Learn in This Episode

  • Why entrepreneurs should consider buying businesses:

    As entrepreneurs, we already know we want to have our own businesses, but there’s no need to start from scratch. By buying already-profitable businesses, we can speed up the process and fast track our success. 

  • How buying businesses helps small companies expand:

    Expanding into new markets is a great way to grow, but doing so takes a lot of time and energy away from the businesses we already have. Instead of starting over in a new territory, look into what’s already there. By taking over existing small businesses, we won’t have to deal with establishing something new. 

  • How real estate investors can capitalize on acquisitions:

    There’s a lot of crossover between buying businesses and real estate investing. The great thing is, with it being so easy to leverage money for small businesses, buying a business doesn’t need to cost much more than a real estate piece- but the cash on cash return will be much higher.

  • Who should avoid buying businesses:

    Buying businesses is a great way to build passive streams of income, but it still requires some of our time. For that reason, anyone already maxed out with their current businesses should think twice before taking the leap. 

  • How to tell if we’re making the right purchase:

    Buying a business is a big commitment, so pay attention to any red flags that come up. These could be anything from lawsuits to regulations with the potential to put operations on hold. If anything feels ‘off’, we should always go with our gut.

We’re living in strange times, and lately it feels like doom and gloom has become everyone’s go-to state. When did negativity become our default, and how can we make the shift from pessimism to positivity?

 

A lot of the time, negativity comes down to mindset, and all it takes to get out of a funk is a willingness to change the way we think. We have to train our brains to be more optimistic, but how? 

 

What can we do to inject a more positive energy into our lives and get rid of the gloom for good? 

 

In this episode, Master Certified Coach and CEO of RealEstateCoach.com, Bernice Ross returns to the show to share how to rewire our minds and pave the way for more positivity. 

 

Your brain can’t focus on more than one thing at a time, so choose to focus on what you’re grateful for. -Bernice Ross

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode

 

  • Why we need to be more mindful of our thoughts:

    Our brains can only process one thought at a time, so when we tell ourselves we don’t want something to happen, we’re really saying we ‘want it- not’. By dwelling on the things we want to avoid, we’re only making them more likely to happen, so we have to be careful with where we send our energy. 

  • How to shift into a more upbeat mood when we’re feeling ‘off’

    When our cerebral hemispheres aren’t firing at the same rate, we end up feeling out of sorts, but it’s easy to combat that. To get back into sync, all we have to do is blast some music that gets us snapping our fingers along with the beat. 

  • How to launch our days the right way:

    The way we start our mornings sets the tone for our entire day, so set aside time for a ‘power hour’. Identify 2 or 3 mood-boosting activities to do first thing in the morning, every day- and remember, those might look different for other people. The most important thing is to find what works best for us.

Given everything that’s happened in 2020, most of us are more excited than ever to ring in the new year. 2021 is a fresh start, and it’s up to us to make the most of it.

 

Planning for the new year in advance is vital if we want to set it up as our best year yet. It’s time to think about what we want to achieve in 2021 and start plotting the steps to achieving it.

 

How can we zone in on our vision for the year ahead? What can we do now to guarantee 2021 brings us bigger results?

 

In this episode, host of the GSD Mode Podcast, Joshua Smith shares how visualization and hard work will make our dreams of a booming 2021 a reality.

 

Never sacrifice what you want most for what you want in the moment. Stay focused on your goals. - Joshua Smith

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode

 

  • How to get a clearer look at the path ahead:

    Never underestimate the power of knowing the numbers. When we have a clear idea of how much effort goes into closing each deal, we can replicate the process and work out how many transactions we need to complete to reach our goals. 

  • The importance of knowing what we want to achieve:

    Where we put our focus is where we’ll go, so it’s important to be mindful of what we’re telling ourselves. Creating vision boards and writing down our goals is a great way to remind ourselves where we’re going so we can make our dreams a reality. 

  • Why visualization can only take us so far:

    It’s great knowing exactly what we want to achieve, but we can’t rely on visualization and mood boards alone. If we aren’t backing that up with the actions to make our dreams a reality, we’ll never succeed.

Raising capital is all a game, and it’s one the wealthy have mastered. The trouble is, most people have never been taught the rules of how to play, and that’s where we get left behind.

 

We may be on the same game board as the wealthy, and we might even be using the same pieces, but until we start adapting their strategies we’ll always be at a disadvantage.

 

What are the wealthy doing that the rest of us aren’t? How can we change the way we’re thinking about raising capital and set ourselves up for better results?

 

In this episode, author of Entrepreneurial Money Secrets, Andrew Rey shares how to play the game of wealth and win.

 

If building wealth is a game, we have to ensure we’re using the right pieces on the board. LLCs, corporate entities, land trusts, and living trusts are all instruments we need to learn to use. -Andrew Rey

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode

  • Why everything we’ve been taught about debt is wrong:

    Most of us have been advised to avoid debt at all costs, but that’s only going to keep us from growing. For entrepreneurs, leveraging credit is the first step to building out our capital. 

  • How to get our money to flow and grow like the wealthy do:

    Everything in the universe is meant to keep moving, and our money is no exception. To get a maximum ROI, we can’t park our money in a bank like we’ve been led to believe- we have to keep circulating it as it grows. 

  • Why the wealthy keep their business and personal credit separate:

    As soon as we start acquiring wealth, we become a target for lawsuits and audits, and if our business and personal credit aren’t separate we run the risk of losing everything. Just like we’d have land trusts or LLCs for each property we’re holding, in business we have to set up corporations as a protective measure.

Nov 19, 2020

The events of 2020 have separated the real estate industry into two camps. There are agents who are crushing it and taking more market share, while everyone else struggles to get deals and keep their business going. 

 

Even though we’re dealing with the same market conditions and navigating the same challenges, some people are actually thriving. 

 

What most agents could rely on to get business has been removed, leaving the people who have invested in top-of-mind visibility to rise to the top. 

 

We can learn a lot from the agents who are succeeding in today’s market. 

 

They’ve built leverage in their business to maximize what they’re good at, and they’ve maintained a mindset of possibility. 

 

What are top producing agents doing right now and what can we borrow from them to implement into our own businesses? How do we create more freedom by building leverage and delegating what we don’t want to do? 

 

In this episode, BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast host David Greene returns. We talk about what separates the agents who are thriving in this market from everyone else. 

 

When you understand that real estate isn’t a job, but a business, and that you can choose the role you want to play in that business, you get freedom. -David Greene 

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode

 

  • The limiting belief that makes it hard for us to scale:

    We often feel a strong sense of guilt that we don’t deserve to just do the parts we love in our businesses. In reality, it’s actually not necessary to bear the pain of doing the things we don’t enjoy. It’s okay to take our own feelings into consideration and focus on the role we want to have. 

  • How to know when it’s time to scale:

    Time isn’t the only factor that determines when we should bring leverage into our businesses. Our energy is also a great indicator of when we need to scale out of certain tasks. When new leads start to feel like a drain, we should take action and hire the help we need. 

  • Why some agents are having the best year of their careers:

    With no open houses or the ability to meet up in person, it’s impossible to capture the low hanging fruit of leads. The agents who are already known in their market and capture attention via social media are taking more market share and getting all the deals.

The events of 2020 have caused such a drastic interruption to the norm, and many agents responded with fear and inaction. But on the other side of the fear are agents who are having the best year of their entire career. 

 

Even though the market is different, there’s still a lot of opportunity to gain market share and do more business. This isn’t the time to hide and wait for the storm to blow over, this is the time to be more active and visible. The willingness to take action is what’s separating the agents who are dominating from everyone else. 

 

What should every real estate agent be doing in this market? How do we make sure we stay top of mind? In this episode, host of the Massive Agent Podcast, Dustin Brohm returns. We discuss how to thrive in today’s real estate market and dominate while everyone else is dormant. 



Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode

 

  • How to get over the fear of change:

    Many people are getting tripped up by the pandemic because they’re grappling with the changes. However, the changes we are seeing aren’t coming out of the blue, Covid just sped up trends that were already happening in the business. The sooner we adapt, the more prepared we’ll be for the direction our industry is going. 

  • Why views are not the only important metric on social media:

    Don’t focus on views and likes so much, focus on creating content that keeps you visible and top of mind. Not getting views doesn’t mean you didn’t get an impression for someone who might hire or refer you.  

  • How to tie your hobby to your profession:
     
    Some of the most successful real estate agents have established niches for themselves based on their hobbies and interests. It starts with finding something we’re interested in, then tying it to our community, and then getting it out there using whatever medium makes sense for us.

We may not be seeing as many people in person anymore, but there’s never been a better time to connect and build relationships. 

 

Thanks to social media platforms like Facebook, there are more opportunities than ever before to grow our spheres, nurture relationships, and even generate referrals. By employing the right strategies, we can reach out in a way that gets people to know, like, and trust us. 

 

What content should we be sharing to connect with our audiences on a deeper level, and what should we be avoiding altogether? How can we convert our online relationships into real-life transactions and partnerships?

 

In this episode, Founder of Your Referral Generator, Geoff Talbot shares how to get better results from our Facebook marketing.

 

Stay in one place and do something consistently, and you’ll start to build a brand. -Geoff Talbot 

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode

  • Why we need to zone in on one platform:

    We can’t connect on a deeper level with one platform if we’re also trying to maintain a presence on every social media platform. We have to go deep on one channel and stay on it long enough to get results. When we try too hard to be everywhere, we end up going nowhere. 

  • The price of perfection on social media:

    When we’re too caught up in trying to look perfect, we come across as inauthentic. Our audiences want to see our unguarded, vulnerable moments because they show we’re human. With all the negativity on social media, our moment of realness could be the relief they need from that. 

  • Who we should be connecting with on Facebook:

    It’s pointless having a sphere of people we don’t know or have nothing in common with. Connect with people who share common interests with us and live in our areas.

The real estate climate is changing drastically, and many industry professionals are anxious to know what the future of the business looks like. We’re lucky to be in an industry that offers a ton of flexibility and there are still many ways to make money. 

 

Buying foreclosable tax liens is a great avenue for maximizing our income in a shifting market. The problem is, not enough people know how to do these deals effectively and we end up missing out on massive opportunities.

 

What are so many people doing wrong when it comes to buying tax liens, and what should we be doing instead? Where should we be looking for the deals in the first place?

 

In this episode, Founder of Tax Lien Alliance, Todd Ashton shares the secrets to successfully buying tax liens and how to get started with as little as $5,000. 

 

Stick to the four key steps of a successful tax lien investment: find, vet, evaluate, and verify. -Todd Ashton

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode

  • The mistake we make when looking for foreclosable tax liens:

    Avoid auctions at all costs. They may seem like a great way to find deals, but there’s too much competition to find anything well-priced and worthwhile. 

  • How to get trained eyes on the property:

    Vetting and evaluating a property is non-negotiable to successfully purchase a property. Reach out to local Realtors for their opinions before proceeding with an investment. 

  • How to raise funds to buy tax liens:

    When we’re looking for deals in the right places, we don’t need much capital in the first place. That said, offerings like LendingTree give people the opportunity to raise funds when necessary.

Most of us have wished for a referral-based business at some point in our careers, but what stops us from making that a reality is the fear of asking

The thing is, we don’t need to ask at all. In fact, to get the best results we should avoid doing that altogether. 

How can we get more referrals without asking for them? Why do we need to approach referrals differently than we would marketing or prospecting?

In this episode, podcast host, speaker, and author of Generating Business Referrals Without Asking, Stacey Brown Randall shares the approach we should be taking to referrals. 

 

Your list of referral sources is the biggest asset your business has. -Stacey Brown Randall

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode

  • Why we need to know who our referral sources are:

    Knowing where our past referrals have come from is a game-changer. Once we’ve identified who is sending potential clients our way, we need to do whatever we can to protect our relationship with the source. 

  • What we should be asking our past clients to do:

    Don’t get too caught up in not asking for anything. While we shouldn’t be asking for referrals, requesting testimonials and reviews is a great way to boost our marketing. 

  • How to respond when we do get referrals:

    Thanking a referral source with a handwritten note is non-negotiable, but don’t panic if that step has been missed in the past. Simply reach out to the source and apologize for not thanking them earlier.

Paying for online leads has been a norm in our world for a while, so it only makes sense that agents and team leaders start investing in systems that make lead follow up easier as well.

Automated follow up is a great way to connect with leads, without spending hours cold calling. The question is, can we still come across as authentic when we aren’t reaching out ourselves? 

Something else we need to think about is how paying for leads and lead follow up fits in with the bigger trend towards squeezed commissions. Is turning to an automated system a viable option for agents who are already seeing smaller profit margins? 

In this episode, we’re diving into automated follow up and explaining why now is the time for agents to embrace it.

 

We’re about to step into a time where you can buy leads and something that handles them for you. -Matt Johnson

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode

  • How to stay authentic while using automated systems:

    Automated follow up doesn’t need to be generic and impersonal. Using a platform like KleverLeads allows agents to send customized communication so our messages sound exactly like us.

  • Why authenticity is vital regardless of our follow-up methods:

    No matter how we choose to follow up with leads, the most important thing to remember is honesty and transparency. When we’re clear on how we want to run our businesses, the right people will be drawn to us.

  • How to invest in automated follow up when commissions are getting smaller:

    Shrinking profit margins are enough to scare most agents, but we don’t need to respond by expecting lower commissions. Instead, start preparing to do more deals.

By now, we’re all aware video is the most popular content on social media. However, what we might not know is that the massive benefits of using video don’t need to be limited to Facebook and Instagram.

People respond to video in a ton of different spaces, and if we can learn how to incorporate it into every aspect of our marketing, we’ll see huge results.

How can we start using video in the ways our competitors aren’t? Aside from the traditional platforms, how should we be sharing video content with current clients, prospective leads, and everyone in between?

In this episode, multiple best selling author and master trainer and coach, Lisa B shares how to take advantage of everything video has to offer. 

 

If you’re nervous about being on camera, set yourself up so you’re comfortable. The most important thing is to start! -Lisa B

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode

How to ensure our videos get as many eyeballs as possible:

Repurposing content is key, so don’t stop at sharing videos to one platform. We should be putting our videos onto our websites, using them in our offices, and giving them to clients, leads, and vendors on memory sticks. 

How to use video to introduce our teams:

Let’s face it, long-winded, typed out staff profiles can be boring. Use video to let agents introduce themselves in their own words, all while keeping the audience more engaged. 

Why we should be using video testimonials:

People are more likely to work with us when they know we’ve helped people with similar needs and wants as them in the past. Ask a wide range of past clients to document their positive experiences with us and share them with leads via email.

As agents serving clearly defined marketplaces, many of us feel glued to our location. However, we don’t need to stay in one place to get big results. In fact, there’s no reason we shouldn’t be able to work from anywhere in the world. 

Shifting our focus to cold calls means we can pass deals onto other agents. By sticking to just one part of the transaction process, we give ourselves the freedom to travel without compromising our clients’ experience. 

Still, many agents might find this difficult to believe. Is it possible to connect effectively when we’re in different time zones? Are we likely to get any objections from leads when they find out we won’t be handling their entire transaction? 

In this episode, lead listing agent at Team Synergi and co-host of the Toe-2-Toe podcast, Jennifer Murtland shares how to cold-call effectively, no matter where we are. 

 

Everybody should learn how to cold call. That way, you can refer everything out without worrying about dealing with clients or price reductions. -Jennifer Murtland

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode

 

  • How to overcome the fear of cold calling:

    Many agents are afraid to cold call, period. The best way to get past this is by remembering rejection isn’t personal, and most of the people we’re calling don’t know who we are anyway! 

  • How to navigate time zones when cold calling from the other side of the world:

    Discipline is key. We have to stick to the same working hours as we would in our regular marketplace, no matter where we are in the world.

  • How to smoothly transition clients to other agents:

    Set the expectation from the start by simply using “we” and “us” in conversation, rather than “me” and “I”. Doing this lets the client know more than one agent is on our team and available to them.

No matter what’s going on in the world, it always seems that the rich get richer. Isn’t it time we follow their lead and do what the wealthy have done for years? 



What are the rich doing with their money that we aren’t? How can we put their tried-and-tested methods to work in our own lives?



The answer is simpler than most of us would think. All it takes is a small tweak, and a willingness to accept that we’ve been lied to all along.

 

In this episode, America’s #1 Money Mentor and host of the Real Estate Money School podcast, Chris Naugle returns to the show to explain how we should be using our money. 

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode

 

The first step towards making more money:

The path to wealth begins when we stop giving our money to everyone else. We’ve been trained to think we need to give up control of our finances, but it’s time to take our power back. 

Why we need to forget the piggy bank myth:

Money isn’t supposed to lie stagnant, so don’t just park it and leave. To make the most of our money, we have to make it move by investing, loaning it out, buying real estate, or paying off debts. 

How to work like the wealthy:

The rich aren’t using typical bank accounts, they’re using specially designed whole life policies through established, mutually-owned insurance companies. However, not all insurance companies offer these, so be careful to avoid setting something up that won’t bring any results.

Technology and social norms have given us an opt-out of difficult conversations, and most agents jump at the chance to avoid uncomfortable topics. However, if we want to maximize our results, we have to be willing to dive into unsettling discussions. 

As more people lean into text messages to convey tough realities, communicating in-person has become an art form. We have to master the art of talking about potential challenges with our clients, face to face.

Still, a lot of us simply lack confidence. How can we become more comfortable with having uncomfortable conversations? Does sharing hard truths with our clients make us more likely to fail or succeed?

In this episode, founder and CEO of Club Wealth®️, Michael Hellickson joins us to discuss how to approach tough topics, especially right now. 

 

Having tough conversations will revolutionize your business. -Michael Hellickson



Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

 

How to make difficult conversations less awkward for everyone involved:


Simply not making eye contact is a great way to ease the pressure of an uncomfortable situation. Create a matter-of-fact dialogue with minimal eye contact to avoid embarrassment all-round. 

 

Why we need to stop fearing fallout from hard truths:
Our clients are happiest when they get what they want, so don’t be afraid to tell them about anything standing in their way. It’s easier to engineer a solution when all the cards are on the table.

 

How honesty helps build trust from our earliest interactions:


Cliche as it may sound, honesty is the best policy. Being upfront with our clients from day one shows them we have their best interests at heart.

2020 has brought about a lot of changes, and many of us have been left feeling concerned about what the future holds. With so much uncertainty around us, how can we even begin to plan for the coming years?

While it’s understandable to feel uneasy during this period, it’s important to remember that there is always opportunity in chaos. Where are those opportunities now, and how can we take advantage of them?

As we enter uncharted territory, how much of what we already know will stay relevant? 

In this episode, CEO of EXIT Realty, Tami Bonnell shares what we can expect to see in the industry for the next 5 years. 

 

If you really want to command respect, you have to be the solution. -Tami Bonnell

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode

 

 

How to make the most of technology in the years to come:

Leveraging technology will be non-negotiable for the foreseeable future, but we can’t rely on Zoom calls and virtual open houses alone. Use technology in conjunction with traditional elements of the business (like relationship building) to see results. 

 

Why we need to keep our approach simple:

Most of us overcomplicate real estate, but at its core, this is a relationship-based business. Stop panicking at the thought of completing transactions and focus on having genuine conversations and offering value instead. 

 

The importance of paying attention to the consumers’ needs:

This isn’t only a scary time for agents, our clients are nervous too! Listen to what they’re saying and find the best way forward for them. Being the solution is the only way we’ll survive.

While the early days of the pandemic were filled with widespread panic, many agents have been pleasantly surprised by the impact COVID-19 has had on our industry. Since being deemed an essential service, some of us have not only stayed afloat-  we’re seeing better results than ever before. 

However, this isn’t our new normal just yet. The state we’re in now is only temporary, so we can’t afford to get complacent. 

Where should we be focusing our energies now, and what should we be avoiding at all costs? How will the steps we take today impact our businesses in the near future? 

In this episode, host of the ClubWealth®️ TV Podcast, Michael Hellickson joins us to talk about what agents should be doing to have stability and keep growing when the market ultimately shifts. 



We’ve gotten back to a pseudo-normal, but don’t be lulled into a false sense of security. -Matt Johnson

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode

 

How financial stability boosts our innovation:

It’s tough to creatively pursue exciting opportunities when we’re living paycheck-to-paycheck. Stockpiling cash gives us the freedom, stability, and mental space to think outside the box and reach new heights. 

 

Why now is the time to recruit top talent:

With so many talented people losing their jobs, there’s never been a better time to onboard highly skilled people. That said, we do have to ensure we have the cash and resources to take advantage of this opportunity. 

 

The biggest mistake agents need to avoid in times of crisis:

It’s normal to want to cut costs when cash is tight, but we have to be mindful of where we curb our expenses. Bailing on zip codes and not paying for lead sources may give us temporary relief but will only cause a loss of pipeline, future income, and agents in the long-term.

All successful real estate careers begin with a dream, but once we begin achieving our goals, we tend to fall out of the habit over time. Instead of thinking about what we want, we start sending our energies to what we don’t.

Focusing on what we don’t want isn’t the same as dreaming. In fact, by giving attention to the things we don’t want to happen, we end up attracting them into our lives anyway. When did we lose our ability to dream, and how do we get it back?

For agents who have accomplished their initial goals, this is a tough question. Does getting back into dreaming mean we need to start over completely?

In this episode, author of Resucceed: Create an Extraordinary Future While You Sleep By Using the 5-Minute Epic Evening Ritual, James Colburn shares how to start dreaming again. 

 

At some point, we dreamed our way to the thing we’re doing now, and we can do that again. -James Colburn

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode:

 

How to re-energize ourselves through our dreams:


When we stop dreaming about the future, it’s easy to get caught in one spot. Avoid falling into complacency by having more than one dream and setting goals for all areas of life, not just work. 

 

What we should be doing in place of writing to-do lists:


Instead of writing a to-do list for each day, formulate 3 personal questions. As we get into this habit, we’ll get better at asking the questions and ultimately uncover what we want to achieve and why. 

 

How to expand the mind by letting go of the need for control:


Most of us want to define our dreams quickly and exactly, but forcing ourselves to know what we want will only give us surface-level results. There is power in surrender, and sometimes we need to let our subconscious minds do the work for us.

For many of us, the thought of a referral-based business sounds too good to be true, but it doesn’t need to be. We can create a predictable income stream from referrals if we learn the formula to do it.

 

Recommending our businesses can take more effort than we sometimes realize. If we want to benefit from more regular referrals, we have to understand what motivates people to give them in the first place. 

 

What makes people more likely to suggest our services to others? Which actions do we need to be more consistent with to increase our chances of referrals? 

 

In this episode, Monica Weakley, Founder of My Coach, Monica, returns to share her formula for more referrals. 

 

It takes some effort for somebody to give a referral, so you have to get them to want to be a part of that. -Monica Weakley

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode

 

How to increase our likelihood of referrals:

Be personable and professional. For someone to refer our services, they need to be genuinely invested in our success and absolutely certain that we will deliver. 

 

How to become likable in the eyes of potential referees:

People are more likely to refer those they have personal relationships with, so show up for them. Simply liking their Facebook posts or reaching out for a personal conversation is a great way to build the right connections. 

 

 

What to post on social media to encourage more referral business:

Only posting jokes online won’t let anyone know we’re open for business, while exclusively business-related posts won’t make us likable. Strike a balance and alternate content.

Building a social media presence is a vital part of a successful real estate business, but many of us shy away from it. What’s stopping us from posting consistently and making the most of everything online platforms have to offer? 

For many agents, the reluctance comes from simply not knowing what to post. 

How can we create content that resonates with our audiences and ultimately brings us business, and what do those posts look like? Can we bring attention to our craft without coming off as annoying and salesy?

In this episode, Monica Weakley, Founder of My Coach, Monica, shares the 3 posts agents need to master. 

 

Don't let your fear of social media be the reason you don't succeed. -Monica Weakley

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode

  • What makes real estate engagement surveys so effective 
    When it comes to real estate, everyone has an opinion, so take advantage of that. Post questions asking the audience what they think about interior design and different types of homes to get a conversation started. 
  • How to leverage our industry expertise
    As real estate professionals, we often forget that not everyone knows as much about the industry as we do. Use social media to inform the audience. 
  • How to create funny content that brings attention to our services 
    Everyone likes to laugh, so it’s important to share some lighthearted posts alongside industry knowledge. Bad MLS photos and details of failed inspections are a great way to keep the audience amused while reminding them we’re in the real estate space.

Housing is extremely important both for the economy and for social impact, but many middle and low-income earners simply don’t have the money to make down payments on their dream homes. This stops them from taking the first step towards home ownership. 

 

That being said, there is more than enough assistance available for prospective home buyers without the means to make a deposit. We just need to know where to look. 

 

Where can agents find down payment assistance programs for their clients? What’s holding us back from making our customers’ dreams a reality? 

 

In this episode, Founder and CEO of Down Payment Resource, Rob Chrane shares how to find help for our clients. 

 

Empower your customers with the knowledge that down payment assistance exists. -Rob Chrane

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode

 

How knowing what help is available keeps house hunting realistic

Knowing exactly what kind of assistance our buyers qualify for helps eliminate the risk of showing them homes they won’t be able to afford. Stay up-to-date with what’s on the table to manage expectations and avoid disappointment. 

 

How agents and LOs can work together to help the client

By letting our mortgage partners know which programs our clients qualify for, we can work together to ensure the buyer gets the best help possible. The great thing is once we pass the relevant information along, our LO does most of the heavy lifting.

 

How to overcome the reluctance of looking into assistance programs

Many agents hold back from exploring down payment programs because it’s a complex process, but it doesn’t need to be. By narrowing down our focus and developing a specialty, we can get the best assistance for our ideal clients.

The next 18 months are sure to pose massive challenges to agents, so we need to think wisely about our next moves. Is now the time to look into multifamily, and how do we get started if we’ve only done single-family residential transactions up until now? 

 

The shift from residential to commercial real estate isn’t an easy one, but it’s certainly doable if we build a decent track record in our areas. How do we establish a stellar reputation when we’re new to the space?

 

As with all real estate, the multifamily sector depends on strong personal relationships. If we want to make the jump, we have to start by building close connections with the right people.

 

In this episode, CEO and Founder of Kingly Acquisitions, Ronny Philip shares how he entered multifamily and scaled his business to epic proportions.

Start by choosing an asset class to work with. Classes B and C tend to offer the best opportunities to investors because they’re older properties used by both blue and white-collar workers. 

 

How to prepare for the shift from residential real estate

Before investing in a multifamily, join a commercial team and learn more about the business. This will teach us transferable skills that better prepare us for the next step.

 

How to establish rapport with brokers

Multifamily complexes are always handled by more than one broker, so it’s important to connect with as many as possible. Head to top brokerages and build strong relationships to benefit from more opportunities.

The world as we know it is changing, and Youtube vloggers have become the new rockstars. The great thing is anyone can become a Youtuber, and agents can use the platform to take their businesses to the next level. 

 

If we want to use Youtube to generate extraordinary results, we can’t settle for sharing generic content that doesn’t come from the heart. To make the most of everything the platform offers, we have to aim to become the newest sensation. 

 

With so many other Youtubers churning out content regularly, how can we stand out to the audience? Is there a set formula that can turn any average Joe into a vlogging superstar? 

 

In this episode, host of Coffee with ADIKA Live, Stefan Adika shares how to become the next big thing on Youtube. 

 

Create the habit of posting everyday, and be consistent using a formula that works for you. -Stefan Adika

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode

 

  • How agents can create high quality content
    Many real estate professionals are fairly technically challenged, but that doesn’t need to stop us from creating the content people want to see. Use an app like iMovie to make professional-looking videos that can be easily shared with the audience. 

  • Why being ourselves is the best way to grow an audience
    A major part of Youtube’s appeal is its ability to let audiences connect to real people with real stories. If we want to make an impact, we have to share our unique personalities with our viewers. 

  • The key to success is believing in ourselves 
    Don’t be deterred by a small audience early on in the process. It’s more important to stay consistent and authentic. Over time, we’ll gain more subscribers who are drawn to our content.

Real estate professionals are famously bad at social media, but if we want big results, we can’t do it without an online presence . Most agents simply don’t have the time to engage on social media, or we’re intimidated by it, so we end up sharing generic material or posting in our spare time. 

 

This leads to inconsistency, and in the social media world, that spells disaster.

 

Is there a way for agents to connect with the audience more regularly without spending hours in front of our screens? How can we juggle effective engagement with our existing schedules?

 

In this episode, CEO of Sphere Rocket, Justin Nelson shares how busy agents can boost their social media engagement, and the incredible results he gets from social media. 

 

Don’t hold off on posting content because you don’t have phenomenal content. Consistency is everything, and average is better than nothing. -Justin Nelson

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode

 

The importance of getting personal 
Using social media to post about our latest transaction may seem like a good idea, but it’s a huge mistake. The audience wants to see us being human, so stop sharing mountains of boring, real estate-specific content and share a raw glimpse of real life.

 

How to maximize engagement without spending all day online
Consistency is the key to social media success, but that takes time. Instead of trying to do everything alone, hire a virtual assistant to manage social media platforms, post content, and engage with the audience.

 

How to stay authentic when a virtual assistant handles our social media
Just because a virtual assistant is posting our content, doesn’t mean we’re not involved in the creative process. Write up a long list of reusable content that can be easily shared by a VA, without losing it’s personal touch.
