The Holy Grail in this business is for people to come to you without you doing a thing. It is the dream of all agents. The only way that happens is if you build a spear that trusts you and has the personality to find clients for you. Sphere or Database? Imagine if you knew […]
Real Estate Agents Are All The Same
Jerry Seinfeld has a routine where he talks about weddings. The bride is in a gorgeous one of a kind dress and all of the bridesmaids are in something hideous to make the bride look wonderful. On the groom’s side, they have all dressed alike. That’s in case the groom runs off, the groomsmen all […]
The Authentic Real Estate Agent
In general, the more you act yourself, the better off you are as a real estate agent. A lot of agents get trapped trying to look a certain way. They try to give off a sense of success that isn’t there or is built on something they don’t want. Constantly trying to hide who you […]
125 Prospect Generation Ideas

And the reason you care is that your message isn’t getting to all of your friends. Facebook business […]
Listing Consultation

FSBO’s
There is no hotter lead than a For Sale By Owner. There is no more difficult active prospect to convert than a FSBO. Let’s start with their mindset. They are motivated by at least one of two things, agents are useless if not crooks and they don’t want to pay the commission. That’s the basis […]
