The Holidays are upon us, and with that comes the opportunity to share our brand messaging in a way that not only gives great value, but spreads cheer in the process. 

 

That being said, Christmas marketing can easily go into sleazy territory if we’re not careful. How can we send our well-wishes without coming across that way? Is it possible to differentiate ourselves from all the other agents putting out their own Christmas marketing?

 

In this episode, we’re diving deep on how to put out more impactful marketing this Holiday season. 

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode 

 

  • How to adapt our marketing to a very 2021 Christmas

    This year’s housing market is unique, so how can we put out festive marketing that acknowledges that? 

 

  • The key to Christmas gifting that stands out

    Any agent can send a run-of-the-mill, boring-as-heck soap on a rope or standard Christmas card. What can we do to set ourselves apart? 

 

  • How to show our sphere we care on any budget

    Is there a way to do something memorable for our spheres without breaking the bank?
Dec 16, 2021

Many of us talk about wanting to be wealthy, but very few of us are, and most of the time, that comes down to our mindset

 

Just how much of what we say to ourselves helps make our goals a reality, and how much of it is only hurting us? Could our belief systems be sabotaging our chances of success? 

 

In this episode, owner, coach, and speaker at Next Level Success Coaching, Brian Bogaert joins us to discuss how to stop getting in our way and cultivate a money mindset. 

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode 

 

  • How to start believing abundance is within reach

    Why are we so resistant to the idea that every single one of us can grow and achieve beyond our wildest dreams? 

 

  • Why we have to stop thinking in terms of need

    So many of our goals are tied up in what we ‘need’. What if we started thinking in terms of what we want

 

  • Why traditional understandings of wealth just aren’t sufficient

    What would our lives look like if we defined wealth according to what it means to us, as individuals?

Dec 14, 2021

The market has faced an unprecedented over-demand this year, and as agents, we need to think about how we’ll take advantage of that, going forward. 

 

How can we position ourselves as the #1 agent in our markets, so when consumers even think about a transaction, we’re the first real estate pros to spring to mind? Is there a way to do that without forking out a ton of cash?

 

In this episode, CEO of RealEstateCoach.com and industry legend, Bernice Ross returns to share the 7 things we can do to market our listings at a low cost (or no cost!) in 2022. 

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode 

 

  • How to use Facebook to create a living business card for your listings

    Single property websites have been around for years, so what’s stopping us from creating Facebook business pages for each of our listings?

 

  • 1 clever, contemporary way to get leads

    Thanks to nearly everything going touchless because of Covid, everyone knows how to use a QR code. How can we leverage that as part of our marketing? 

 

  • How to build a bigger following and position ourselves as local experts

    How can we take video testimonials about our local markets to a whole new level?

Dec 9, 2021

Everyone talks about wanting to be successful in real estate, but when it comes down to it, most agents aren’t willing to put in the work required to make it happen. 

 

What would it take for us to turn our ideas into action, so success stops being a pipe dream and becomes our waking reality? How can we stop being our own bottlenecks in our businesses? 

 

In this episode, Founder of Real Estate B-School and host of the Real Estate Team Builders podcast, Lars Hedenborg joins us to discuss how to stop dreaming and start doing

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode 

 

  • The difference between top producers and everyone else

    Why is it that we all have the same 24 hours, yet some people manage to reach unbelievable levels of success and others struggle to merely get by? 

 

  • How to assess whether we’re really working towards our goals

    We all say we want to be successful, but how much of what we do on a daily basis is really contributing towards making it happen? 

 

  • Why outsourcing is more crucial than we realize

    How can we expect to make our biggest dreams a reality when we’re spending so much of our time doing low dollar-producing activities?

We’ve become so accustomed to the caricature of a sleazy salesperson that sometimes it feels like it’s just not possible to be a good agent and a good person. However, that doesn’t have to be the case. 

 

How can we bring our personal values into our businesses, so we’re not just selling homes, but doing so in an ethical way? Is it possible to be wildly successful while staying true to our beliefs 100% of the time?

 

In this episode, ethical business coach and ex-monk, Martin Stellar shares how to sell homes without compromising our integrity. 

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode 

 

  • How to change the way we think about salespeople

    Just how much has the idea of a sleazy salesperson impacted our approach to sales, and where does it stem from in the first place? 

 

  • How to come across more respectful in sales conversations

    Could replacing just one word in our vocabulary show our clients we’re coming from a good place? 

 

  • Why being a good person always pays back in dividends

    How can we put all our faith in the idea that doing the right thing is good for business, too?

Nov 30, 2021

The National Association of Realtors just announced the measures they’re taking to standardize the MLS across the board, but what does that actually mean for agents?

 

How will the standardization affect us, if at all - and is there anything we can do about it? How will we need to adapt our existing strategies in the wake of the changes? 

 

In this episode, we’re weighing in on having to disclose our fees publicly to the consumer when previously, we didn’t even disclose them to other agents

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode 

 

  • Who the disclosure of fees stands to benefit

    How much does the consumer really stand to gain from the disclosure of fees?

 

  • How to make a marketing lemonade out of the changes

    So, our fees need to become public knowledge. Is there a way to turn that into a social media marketing opportunity? 

 

  • How to create the kind of content consumers want

    It’s one thing to turn the news of the NAR’s new rules into content. How do we turn it into the kind of content people will actually engage with? 
Nov 26, 2021

When you’re a new agent learning the ropes, scripts are necessary for building your confidence and communicating effectively, but there’s a huge caveat. If we rely on them too heavily, scripts can actually put prospects off, and get in the way of a genuine, engaging conversation. 

 

What makes your communication sound painfully scripted? How do you make your conversation feel more natural and authentic? 

 

In this episode, we talk about mistakes that make you sound too scripted and what to do instead. 



Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode 

 

  • Why heavy scripts make us seem less authentic

    How do we make our conversations with prospects more human, authentic and engaging? 

 

  • Why your scripts fall flat with prospects

    When it comes to scripts, what’s more important - perfection or conversation? 

 

  • How to confidently navigate subjects you don’t know

    We don’t have to have an answer for everything to communicate effectively. How do we respond when prospects ask us about an area that isn’t our forte?
Nov 23, 2021

All signs point to a virtual future, and the only way real estate pros will survive is by adapting to the new reality. 

 

That being said, we’re still dealing with human beings at the end of the day, so how do we strike the balance between building real connections and growing with the changes? How can we best equip ourselves for a cyber reality and stand out amongst a crowd of i-buyers? 

 

In this episode, host of Coffee Talk With Adika Live, Stefan Adika returns to talk differentiation in the digital era. 

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode 

 

  • What the developments at Zillow mean for agents

    hat the heck is going on at Zillow, and is it wise to take their latest developments as purely ‘coincidental’?

 

  • How to maintain great, human relationships with past clients
    Do we really think contacting clients we haven't spoken to in a year, out of the blue, is a good idea?

We’ve all heard the saying, “spend money to make money,” but what happens if we don’t have any? The harsh reality is, some agents just don’t. 

 

So, what’s an agent in a tight position to do? Are there ways to market ourselves without spending a dime? What should be our first splurge when we do have the means to invest in our businesses?

 

In this episode, we’re weighing in on marketing budgets, and what to do when we don’t have one. 

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode 

 

  • How to compete with big tech

    Even a top producer is unlikely to have a marketing budget anywhere near that of a big tech company like Zillow. What can the average agent do to stay in the ring? 

 

  • How to run ads on a shoestring

    Is it smarter to hold off on ads until we can afford to target everyone, or what should we be doing instead? 

 

  • The best social media platforms for agents with no budget

    Social media is free, but with so many options available to us, knowing which platform to zone in on is tricky. Which networks are likely to get us the best results?
Nov 11, 2021

From social media marketing to offerings like Zillow, technology is changing real estate as we once knew it, and agents who fail to get on board risk going out of business. 

 

The problem is, the vast majority of agents are taking too long to embrace the changes as they come. How can we quit complaining about new developments and start welcoming them? Is there any hope for the technophobes among us? 

 

In this episode, The ZillowKiller, James Rembert returns to discuss why we need to stop making excuses and get started, already! 

 

Things You’ll Learn in This Episode 

 

  • 1 thing to change about the way we see digital marketing

    Are we still seeing social media advertising as an ‘add-on’ or as anything less than vital? 

 

  • The future of NFTs in real estate

    What on earth is an NFT and how can real estate pros even begin to understand them, let alone use them? 

 

  • How to stop getting overwhelmed by a changing industry

    Tech is set to change the world as we know it, and that can be a little daunting. How can we learn to adapt to new developments, rather than fear them? 

 

  • What we need to know about Meta

    How much of an impact will the rebrand from Facebook to Meta really have on its users?

Just when Realtors were getting used to Zillow buying homes directly from the consumer, the platform has pulled the plug on their much touted offer program. What does it mean? 

 

This turn of events can actually work to the benefit of real estate agents if we play our cards right. This is the time for us to up our visibility, give sellers more certainty and take back market share.

 

What are some of the ways we can make sure our sellers never need to call any iBuyer before us? How do we give the consumer the convenience that made them opt for iBuyers in the first place?

 

In today’s Roundtable, we discuss the recent shift in Zillow’s strategy and what we can do to take advantage of it. 



Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode 

 

  • How to remind the consumer of the value we bring

    Consumers need to know that we never stopped looking out for them even when Zillow was buying homes. How do we put a massive megaphone on this message?  

 

  • The real reason people were interested in instant offer platforms

    What drove the rise of Zillow offers and other iBuyers, and how can we build the same level of convenience in our customer experience? 

 

  • Why we have to get comfortable with spending money on marketing

    Can agents crush it in the digital marketing game with sweat equity and organic tactics alone? 

 

  • How to stand out in the listing presentation

    How can we win by attacking points of friction and stress in the real estate transaction?
Nov 4, 2021

Whether we’re seasoned agents or total newbies to the business, we’re all capable of building the kinds of teams that bring in results for years to come. We just have to re-think the steps it takes to get there. 

 

So, what are those steps? How do traditional team models hold us back from building something that benefits not only us, but our agents, too? Can we recalibrate our existing strategies and shift into something that really works? 

 

In this episode, US Growth Operations Manager at eXp, Randy Wouters explains how to build teams that bring in results in the long term and benefit everyone involved in them. 

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode 

 

  • The importance of humility

    Everyone wants to be successful. The real question is, are we willing to get over ourselves and take advice from those in the know? 

 

  • How to retain top agents long-term

    The traditional teams model dictates that leaders pour into their agents for several years, only to have those same agents fly the nest at their peak. Is there a way to retain our agents without clipping their wings? 

 

  • How to stop taking rejection so personally

    How can we get better at handling rejection from agents who aren’t looking to join our teams?

Most agents know what it’ll take to move the needle forward in their businesses, but the harsh reality is, most won’t follow through because they’re afraid of implementation.

 

How can we stop letting fear hold us back from making our dreams a reality, and is doing so even possible? Where do those fears stem from in the first place? 

 

In this episode, real estate operations and exit strategy coach, Renee Williams joins us to discuss how to push past our fears and just get started, already!

  • How to stop letting others’ opinions affect us

    Staying immune to haters and trolls is a necessity, but how do we actually do it? 

 

  • Why we need to stop seeing video content as optional

    How can we shift the way we see educational, consumable content, so we stop seeing it as an add-on and start seeing it as a non-negotiable

 

  • What to include in our social media marketing

    What do our audiences actually want to see and how can we get better at giving it to them?

Having a great database is essential to success in real estate, but putting one together takes time. For the seasoned pros who have spent years building rapport in their markets, this isn’t too much of a problem, but what about newbie agents?

The best way to differentiate ourselves in our marketing is by creating hyperlocal content. That being said, as most agents would agree, that can be easier said than done.

 

How can we create the kind of social media content that positions us as the local experts in our markets? Does a quick fix in this area even exist?

 

In this episode, creator of the Instagram Power Method course, Michelle Berman returns to share how to create and maintain a hyperlocal presence on social media. 

 

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode

    How can we ensure we're really connecting with our market on a deeper level? 

 

  • When to follow back (and when it's a better idea NOT to)
