As business owners and real estate professionals, we have the skills to help others during this trying time, but we have to be willing to step up and be leaders. How can we help people during this crisis? What can we do to avoid overextending ourselves? On this episode, CEO and Owner of Latham Realty Unlimited, Jeff Latham, shares how to be leaders in our present reality. 

 

Takeaways + Tactics 

There are still people looking to buy or sell properties now. As real estate professionals, we have to take the lead and help them navigate the transaction process during the chaos. 

 

Now is not the time to overextend ourselves. Clear the calendar of all non-essentials so we can focus on the most important parts of our businesses. 

 

It’s vital we all recognize that our capacities are diminished at the moment. We all have the thought of the current crisis in the back of our minds right now, so instead of trying to continue with business-as-usual, acknowledge that we’re going through a tough time.

Facebook Live is a great tool for anyone in the real estate space to use, so to maximize our results, we have to make sure we’re using it the right way. What can we do to connect with our audiences better? How can we get more comfortable with Facebook Live when we’re new to the space? On this episode, co-founder of Real Estate Growth Hackers, Zach Hammer, returns to discuss the 3 ways to get better at Facebook Live today. 

 

Takeaways + Tactics 

Create the impression of looking into the audience’s eyes by speaking directly to the camera. This makes us more personable and helps the audience feel more connected to us. 

 

It’s not always easy to smile while talking, so practise smiling with the eyes. This makes us look much more welcoming to the audience. 

 

Practice makes perfect. Those of us new to Facebook Lives can rehearse by practicing with a small group of people we would be happy to get feedback from, or even by recording a live to be shared with ourselves only.

With so many people stuck at home at the moment, now is the perfect opportunity to double down on content creation. How do we continue to create content during this time if our strategy was highlighting local businesses? Are there any lessons we can take from this time and implement in the future? On this episode, Robert Ring, Mortgage Advisor at Cross Country Mortgage and co-host of Hops and Houses video series, shares how to keep creating content during COVID-19. 

 

Takeaways + Tactics 

It’s important we don’t bury our heads in the sand during the pandemic - if anything, now is the time to double down on our online presence.

 

Don’t stop reaching out to local businesses like restaurants. Even though people aren’t able to go out, a lot of restaurants are still doing takeout. Do a live video featuring the chef from a local restaurant to help boost the community and bring attention to places that are still open.

 

Learn from this experience. People tend to be more empathetic during times of crisis, but we shouldn’t be limited to that. Use this time to make a shift towards becoming more empathetic and helpful to the community.

To make more money with fewer deals, agents should be adding more high-end and luxury homes to their portfolios. Is now a good time to include properties at a higher price point in our portfolios and how can we represent them while so many people are unable to leave their homes? Should we be concerned about lowering our batting averages by including properties that are harder to sell? On this episode, Founder and Marketing Strategist at Marketing Luxury Group and host of the Luxury Listing Specialist podcast, Michael LaFido shares how to make more money with fewer deals. 

 

Takeaways + Tactics 

All agents should be diversifying their portfolios. Even now, in spite of uncertainties, it’s a good idea for agents to represent some high-end and luxury properties. 

 

People are spending a lot more time at home now, and the only way they can look at properties is online. Cater to the luxury and high-end market by uploading high-quality photographs and videos that highlight strong points of the properties. 

 

Stop worrying about maintaining a batting average. When dealing with properties at a higher price point, the commissions can help us cover leaner months just as much as selling more properties at a lower price point.

One of the biggest challenges real estate investors face is trying to find motivated sellers. Where should we be looking for them? Are there any specific groups of people we should be targeting? On this episode, real estate investor and coach, Jackie Jackson, shares how to find motivated sellers. 

 

Takeaways + Tactics 

There are tons of real estate investors who have got into the wrong deals and over-obligated themselves. It’s a great idea to look for struggling investors because on top of being able to buy the property, we can be a great source of relief to them.

 

People expecting a baby are also great potential sellers. As families expand, people start looking for bigger homes, but to buy a bigger property, they’ll first need to sell the one they’re in.

 

Don’t forget about homeowners who may need to relocate within a very short space of time. Military professionals, for example, relocate every few years, so they’re motivated by an urgency to sell quickly.

All agents should be using video to connect with potential clients, and creating personalized, informative content for YouTube is the best place to start. How can we provide educational videos that resonate with our audience? What kind of content should we be sharing, and where can we find the right information to share? On this episode, podcast host, YouTube personality and real estate broker at eXp Realty, Jackson Wilkey, shares the three videos every agent should be creating. 

 

Takeaways + Tactics 

Use video to educate people on the cost of living in our city. Make this even more effective by sharing personal stories. For example, agents with kids can talk about the cost of daycare, or if we’re single, speak about the young professional scene.

 

Create a video listing the pros and cons of the cities we live in - and be honest. People want to know what they’re getting into when they move to a new city, so give a rounded view of what they should expect.

 

Use the Internet to find the top 5 neighborhoods in the city, and film a video exploring those spots. Do house tours, visit local businesses and speak about schools in the area.

In light of current events, the ground has shifted in the markets and no one quite knows what could happen when the dust settles. In the meantime, the best thing we can do is prepare. Can we be optimistic about the future? Should we be playing it safe or planning big moves for the near future? On this episode, CEO and Founder of 1 Life Fully Lived and Co-Founder of Gobundance, Tim Rhode, shares how to surf the big waves of market shifts. 

 

Takeaways + Tactics 

Prepare for the worst case scenario, and aim to make the best of it. Now is the time to know our cash position and have an idea of what all our assets are, in case we need to sell them.

 

Now is not the time to try new things. We have to hone in on the things we’re comfortable with and know we’re great at.

 

Use this time to research and plan for the next steps we’re going to take when the time is right. Remember, these steps should be well thought-out; there is no need to rush them and risk making a mess.

As real estate professionals, talking about the industry on Facebook Live videos is second nature, but it does exclude people who aren’t currently looking to buy or sell a property. How can we create content that keeps people interested, even after a transaction has gone through? Can we offer content that interests buyers, sellers and everyone in between? On this episode, author and founder of Real Estate Growth Hackers, Zach Hammer shares the 3 Topics for Facebook Live Videos that never go out of style. 

 

Takeaways + Tactics 

Create lifestyle videos. Once someone has bought a home, they need to know how to maintain the property and live in it. Create content that fills this need.

 

Speak about the community. Talk about local restaurants and activities. People new to the area (or considering buying there) will appreciate a guide, and locals will know we share common interests.

 

Talk about trends. Whether our audience is looking for a transaction or not, everyone enjoys knowing what’s popular with others.

The social media landscape has undergone a lot of changes in the first part of 2020, and a lot of agents are, understandably, starting to feel overwhelmed. Which social media platforms should we be using, and what type of content should we be sharing? What does the trend towards moving away from social media in favor of in-person interactions mean for us in 2020? On this episode, Senior Marketing Strategist at Ablaze Media, Tim Stafford, shares how to approach social media marketing in 2020. 

 

Takeaways + Tactics 

Don’t try to use all the new social media platforms: find one that works and stick with it. It’s also important to remember that social media giants like Facebook and Twitter aren’t going anywhere, so don’t neglect them in favor of newer platforms. 

 

Client-created content has an 85% - 86% conversion rate, so ask clients to film video testimonials. With these videos, the most important thing is to maintain authenticity.

 

There is a massive trend towards getting off social media and socializing with people in-person, so as well-known members of the community, we should be creating opportunities for people to come together. While that may not be possible at the moment, consider hosting a post-COVID-19 barbecue at a local park.
