271 -Is The Quarterly Plan More Valuable Than The Annual Plan?

Today we're discussing how to improve your business planning as a real estate agent by implementing systems for better business organization.

249 - Seller Doesn't Want to Pay Buyer's Commission

Asking for your buyer's commission from a seller or builder can be a delicate situation and conversation. How do you ask for your fee when the seller or builder is not offering your full fee? With practice, approaching this conversation can not only lead to a positive result, but it can also even strengthen the relationship with your buyer. In this video and podcast, we discuss how to ask for your full fee when a seller or builder is not offering your commission. We start by discussing the three potential outcomes of commissions. From there, we dive into how to discuss this with your buyer. The key comes down to letting buyers know how you get paid, why you get paid, and what happens if you're not getting paid. This all hinges on bringing up your fee in this exact order.

248 - Help! I Don't Have An SOI

In real estate, most agents know that a thriving SOI (sphere of influence) and repeat and referral business will form the majority of the transactions they do. But having an SOI is a chicken and egg problem. You want to build an SOI-based business, but you need an SOI to grow your SOI-based business. In this video and podcast, you will learn that forming new relationships is more important than the current number of people you know. With adding more people into your database, your database will shrink. So whether you know a ton of people or very few, forming new relationships is vital. We discuss increasing your luck such that you will be in a position to grow your SOI. You'll also learn why saying "yes" more frequently will cause an immediate increase in your SOI. This extends into building your hobbies.

247 - What To Do When You Don't Know The Value Of A House

Our real estate pricing strategy can take a turn when we don't have enough comparables for a CMA, or if the CMA is leading to a suggested pricing range that you know isn't accurate. How do you approach this? As real estate agents, we think that it's our job to know the value of every property. That's not the case. Our job is to interpret data and make suggestions based on a seller's goals. As we progress with our careers, you'll gain a sense of what a property will sell for, but there are always those properties that we just can't predict.

242 - How To Think When You Are New

Being a real estate agent is nothing like most people think. We think our job is to show, list, and sell homes. Yes, that's a component of being a Realtor; however, we are missing the most important parts of starting a new career: learning and lead generation. Other careers have required apprenticeship periods. Doctors, lawyers, electricians, and hairdressers are all examples of professions that have required on-the-job learning periods. This isn't the case in real estate. In this episode, we look at the public perception of the daily schedule of an agent. You'll learn the difference between being an effective agent and getting our license. Also, we look at selling a property versus getting the client in the first place.

237 - Overcome Social Anxiety in Real Estate

Anxiety is more common than we think in real estate. As an agent, we go through periods of fear, uncertainty, and doubt. We have times of discomfort when conversing with clients or generating leads. Often we think that we are the only ones feeling this, but this couldn't be further from the truth. Every agent experiences anxiety in sales; however, some have learned to manage it, and as crazy as it sounds, you may start to enjoy parts of social anxiety.
