The Tom Ferry Podcast Experience

I’m all about hustling, embracing challenges, and pushing yourself beyond your limits. But there’s one vital element of that which doesn’t get talked about often enough… Experiencing peace to replenish your energy. That’s what I’m talking about in this Mindset Monday. Don’t neglect it.

Your 2024 real estate success will ultimately depend on the strategies you implement, the actions you take, and the habits you maintain. And for those, it’s always best to turn to a coach. One of my favorite ways to close out the year is by having my brother, coach Patrick Ferry on the podcast to share his action steps for success. On this episode, Patrick and I are talking about creating mental toughness, listing attraction at scale, discovering your Total Addressable Market, and just about everything else required for your 2024 real estate success. There’s a long waitlist to get on Patrick’s schedule (the guy is in hot demand) but consider this a free coaching session with both of us. Watch or listen now and lock in your 2024 real estate success.

I’ve heard agents say that in-stream YouTube ads sound intimidating. For whatever reason, agents get the idea that they’re costly, time-consuming, and complicated when they’re actually completely affordable, fun, and manageable. But the best thing about in-stream YouTube ads is how effective they are at directly generating listings. Shane Burgman is back on this episode of This Week in Marketing! He’s talking with Jason Pantana about his dynamite strategy for using in-stream YouTube ads in combination with his geo farm to bring himself the status of a local listing celebrity. If YouTube ads ever seem intimidating, Shane and Jason will make them very simple for you by breaking down all the steps for running successful campaigns. Watch or listen, right here. In this episode, they discuss… 1:56 – Shane’s approach to geo farming 4:37 – High-level farming strategy 6:27 – Publishing the market update 9:45 – Client avatar 11:37 – Open Houses 14:53 – In-stream YouTube ads 17:54 – Details and content of ads 21:04 – Method to the money 27:17 – Calls to action 31:55 – Being the local celebrity

Do you believe in luck? I mean in the sense that some people are just naturally luckier than others? I hope not, because it’s not true. Luck is something you create, and in this episode of Mindset Monday, I’ll show you how to create more of it in your life.

When Meredith Fogle shared her Viral Listing Strategy on stage on Roadmap Annapolis, everyone in attendance was blown away – including myself. Here was an entire next-gen system for consistently turning every single listing into multiple listings, and I knew I had to get her on the podcast. On this episode, Jason Pantana and I interview Meredith on every aspect of her viral listing system, including: The Listing System Blueprint Her signature Listing Flywheel Her tech stack and AI protocols And a lot more. Meredith will guide you through building a repeatable system for making listings go viral, so I’d recommend you don’t miss this one.

Over the last year, This Week in Marketing has provided agents with some of the most groundbreaking, effective marketing strategies in real estate. Jason Pantana has interviewed some of the top rising agents today, covered the gambit of real estate marketing channels, and kept his followers on the cutting edge. As we move into 2024, we figured we’d share some of our favorite moments from This Week in Marketing from the past year. This is This Week in Marketing: Greatest Hits 2023! Watch or listen, right here!

This year, many agents will generate fewer real estate listings than they have in the past. But the ones who do score more listings will score BIG. Those will be the agents who are running the five strategies we’re talking about here. In this episode of the Tom Ferry Podcast Experience, I have two of the greatest minds in all of real estate marketing to talk with me about the strategies we KNOW will attract more real estate listings in 2024. Jason Pantana is the mastermind behind This Week in Marketing and MarketingPRO. Jimmy Mackin is the renowned CEO of Curaytor. Together, we’re breaking down the listing attraction tactics that will separate you from the competition in the coming year. I urge you, don’t get left behind. This hard market could be the greatest opportunity of your life.

In this business, the plays you run are everything. The right real estate plays make winning easy while the wrong ones will leave you lost in the dark. Coach Emily Terrell is an active agent who is set to sell over 50 homes this year. On top of that, she’s coaching 37 agents who are averaging about 26 transactions. And on top of that, she has a family and kids and a great life. You could say that Emily is winning in just about every department. What do you think her secret is? Yeah… Running the real estate plays that she knows to work. In this episode of the Tom Ferry Podcast Experience, Emily shares with me what those plays are, where everyone should start, the high-level strategy, and so much more. This is an expert coach sharing the real estate plays that consistently make money for her and her clients. So watch or listen, right here.

There’s an art to leveraging Open Houses into leads. Or should I say, there’s a proven step-by-step process. But before any of that, there’s a mindset issue to address with Open Houses. Some agents will fail to get a buyer and then write the entire thing off as a waste of time, but that’s a big mistake. Your top priority is to turn that Open House into leads – ones that will continue to multiply in the future. In this episode of This Week in Marketing, Jason Pantana shows you the five steps of properly leveraging Open Houses into leads – and yes, they all start with “P.” If you’re not hosting Open Houses or know you could be hosting more, this is an episode that’s going to get you into action. Watch or listen now! In this episode, Jason discusses… 0:00 – Turning Open Houses into leads 2:10 – Step 1: Procure 4:10 – Step 2: Promote 10:24 – Step 3: Prep 11:38 – Step 4: Perform

Over the course of this year, how many days did you stay in momentum? How many days did you fall off track, lose steam, or feel helpless? Our goal moving forward is zero days of lost momentum. In this Mindset Monday, I’ll show you how to maintain focus and always return to the plays that keep you shooting in the right direction.

It doesn’t matter how much you make…. Breaking poor money habits and building healthy ones is the only thing that will get you the financial freedom you want. Money is hard to talk (or even think) about for a lot of people. It’s complicated and uncomfortable, and our spending habits often stem from our earliest experiences. But if you want to conquer any debt you may have and start saving MASSIVE amounts of money, it starts with breaking poor money habits and replacing them with wise ones. In this episode of the Tom Ferry Podcast Experience, I’m talking with Valerie Upham and Emily Terrell, both of whom know the stress and hardship that come from massive debt. They’ll explain what it takes to break poor money habits and transform your financial future. Valerie will even take you through her journey of going from a mountain of debt to $400k in savings. As you’ll learn, there’s hardly a point in making more money until you’re capable of spending, saving, and managing your money in the right way – so watch or listen here to learn how.

When we talk about real estate marketing channels, we’re talking about more than just one facet of your business. This is your product distribution, the way you position yourself to make sales, and the way you build your brand. Such an important topic deserves a special episode of This Week in Marketing. This week, Jason Pantana is actually the one being interviewed – by me! We’re talking about the 5 real estate marketing channels you need to succeed and build your brand in 2024. It’s been a while since I’ve been on this show, but these real estate marketing channels require our full attention, so be sure to watch or listen to learn how to use them.

Do you ever post a great piece of content and then feel defeated when it doesn’t get enough likes or engagement? There’s a big problem with the way that a lot of real estate agents view social media. In this episode of Mindset Monday, I’m talking about what it is and why you need to change the way you view your contributions on social.

What is a listing chain reaction? Let me explain… Having a listing is always a blessing, but the best thing about it is the opportunity to promote that listing in a way that attracts the attention of all the neighbors and convinces them to want the same. This is why people say that when one house sells, all the other houses on the block start selling too – because of the awesome marketing. On this episode of This Week in Marketing, Jason Pantana shares 20 listing promotion strategies that create a listing chain reaction. Not only will more people be inspired to list their homes, but they’ll specifically be inspired to do it with YOU! If you have a listing (or plan to), this is your opportunity to leverage it into a listing chain reaction, so watch or listen to this episode right here. In this episode, Jason discusses… 0:00 – Creating a listing chain reaction 2:00 – Postcards 3:50 – Case studies 4:39 – Livestream walks 6:30 – CMAs to OHNs 7:28 – Text-for-info signs 8:12 – Mega Open Houses 10:14 – The right invites 11:35 – Social media documentation 12:36 – Unique apps and features 14:27 – 24/7 virtual 15:28 – In-feed & story ads 16:45 – Web page optimization 18:10 – Reviews & assets 20:10 – YouTube to buyers And if you’re serious about crushing it on listings: -MarketingPRO: Cracking the Social Code https://www.tomferry.com/marketingpro/ -The Sales & Marketing Edge locations nearest to you https://www.tomferry.com/edge/ -Our free guide to simplifying social media https://www.tomferry.com/agent-tools/socialmedia-simplified-offer/ And don’t forget to have our latest and greatest content delivered directly to your inbox by signing up for Tom Ferry’s VIP List. https://pages.tomferry.com/free-real-estate-training-videos/

If you’re running plays that aren’t working or justifying habits that aren’t serving you, why? The most likely explanation is confirmation bias. Your biases control the stories you tell yourself about what you can do, are willing to do, and are afraid of. In this Mindset Monday, we’re going to make a serious inquiry into what your biases are, then explore a better, truer story to tell yourself.

What comes to mind when you think of heroic action? For me, it’s Levi Rodgers. It’s not just the fact that he nearly died in combat while serving in the Green Berets. And it’s not just that he went from being a wounded veteran in a new city to running the largest real estate team it’s ever seen. What makes Levi a man of heroic action is not just one thing – it’s his lifetime dedication to acting on the largest scale possible to serve as many people as he can. In my book, that is the definition of a hero. For this episode of the podcast, I’m sharing a clip from my recent Success Summit where Levi talks about his life of heroic action. It’s a story of discipline, battle, rising and falling from the highest levels only to rise again. By the end, I don’t see how you could not be inspired to find the hero inside yourself.

Can you remember a time when your back was against the wall? We’ve all been there, but once we finally find our way out of those situations, we tend to forget about them. This is a mistake. In this episode of Mindset Monday, we’re digging back to those times when you had to tap into your inner reserves of strength. You’ll be amazed by what you find.

Have you heard the story of the greatest real estate transaction of all time? Not only is it an incredible story, but it says a lot about the kinds of opportunities you might be missing in this market. For this episode of the podcast, I’m sharing a clip from our recent Success Summit where Greg Schwartz, the CEO of TOMO, tells you the story of the greatest estate transaction of all time, and then explains how you can use its lessons in your own business. In less than 10 minutes, you’ll get a total mindset shift on the nature of leads and learn about an opportunity to create your own listings. If you’ve been feeling put out by this tough market, this is exactly the story you need to hear. So watch or listen now.

Real estate print marketing is getting overlooked in favor of digital channels. Now, I’m not saying that digital channels aren’t vital (they are), but if you’re not taking advantage of print, you might be missing the key to grabbing the attention and emotions of buyers and sellers. (Did you know that print mailers are SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN to cause a greater emotional response?!) In this episode of This Week in Marketing, Jason Pantana talks with the President of Reminder Media, Luke Acree, about the underappreciated power of real estate print marketing. Jason and Luke are talking about the best high-level strategies and detailed tactics for getting more engagement from your postcards and magazines, including the best frequency for sending and how to parlay your mailers into relationships. This episode is an absolute must-watch for any agents interested in omnichannel or real estate print marketing, so be sure to watch or listen right here.

Want to make 2024 the best year of your life? Start by getting uncomfortable. Human beings spend a remarkable amount of time and energy attempting to avoid discomfort. But why? I’d argue that intentionally making yourself uncomfortable is the only way to break through to the results you desire, and that’s what we’re discussing in this Mindset Monday.

You may have noticed that we’ve been talking a lot about building a real estate brand on my channels. In an environment this competitive, it’s not enough to grab attention; you need to make consumers CARE about your marketing – and that’s what having a brand is all about. The only problem is that many agents don’t understand what building a real estate brand entails. Lucky for you, for this episode of the Tom Ferry Podcast Experience, I’m sharing a clip from our recent Success Summit where I talk to the founder of 1000watt and king of real estate branding, Marc Davison. Marc is going to take you step-by-step through the fundamentals of building a real estate brand, including: The difference between branding and marketing Why focusing on demographics distracts from the big picture How to find your brand purpose, values, and story How to grab your audience’s emotions in your marketing This clip is essential viewing or listening for any agent interested in building a real estate brand. So be sure to check it out, right here.

Building a personal real estate brand is not about simply creating content or acting in a certain way. For Shannon Gillette, a personal real estate brand is all about telling the story of who you authentically are – and then leveraging strategic social media marketing to maximize the long-term efficiency of your content. Sounds complicated, right? Well, it’s not when she explains it. In this episode of This Week in Marketing, Jason Pantana interviews Shannon about her unconventional path to finding and cementing her personal real estate brand within her market. You’ll learn: The platforms to leverage The best ways to tell stories with your content How to make sure everything you post comes back to serve you over the long haul And much more! If you want to make your social media marketing count, I recommend you listen to Shannon’s advice and then start strategizing your personal brand today.

Have you heard of “$100k in 100 Days”? It’s a program that Jimmy Mackin and I are running with my coaching members to set more appointments and make an EXTRA $100k in commissions before the end of the year. We’re a few weeks in now, and the results we’ve been hearing from my coaching members are so amazing that for this Mindset Monday, I felt compelled to share one of the strategies with you. Keep in mind, this is just ONE of the proven plays out of the workbook and it only takes a few minutes to do, but if you do it, I promise you’ll get some cash rolling in. You’re welcome.

Superman isn’t coming to fix the real estate market; that’s just a fact. The only people who can fix the real estate market are informed, hard-working real estate agents and the clients they serve. And that’s not just coming from me – it’s coming from real estate legend Steve Harney, the founder of Keeping Current Matters. For this week’s podcast, I felt the need to share a clip from my recent Success Summit that should be required viewing for every agent. Steve Harney is answering some of the most pressing questions facing our industry today, including: What’s going to happen with mortgage rates? Is the market going to crash? How can we eliminate consumer fear? What can we do to fix the real estate market? And much more. If you want to know EXACTLY what you need to be saying to your client right now, it’s all right here in this episode of the podcast. Be sure to watch, then follow his advice to begin fixing the market today.

The agent of the future is not the agent who goes with the flow of the market – the agent of the future is the one who rises above the market when it begins to shift downwards. History shows that when everyone else is pulling their advertising budgets, the companies who double down are the ones who shoot to the top. That means NOW is your moment to seize your marketplace and establish an undefeatable brand. In this episode of This Week in Marketing, Jason Pantana shows you some of the most important ideas from our coaches and coaching members that will help you establish that “Agent of the Future” brand all buyers and sellers crave. If you’re not the agent of the future, you’re the agent of the past, so I’d suggest you watch this episode now and start speeding forward. In this episode, Jason discusses… 0:00 – Branding your ground 6:03 – Postcards 7:02 – A tip from Apple 8:30 – YT commercials 10:04 – Connect to all the senses 12:30 – Leveraging SEO and GBP --- Need more help with your real estate marketing?

We as business owners can have a funny way of viewing time. Everyone is hungry for immediate results, so we measure our potential and growth in terms of what we can accomplish in one or two years. But what if you expand your view to see further into both the past and the future? What did you build, and what are you building over time? That’s what we’re doing together on this Mindset Monday.

Marketing channels that appreciate over time are sadly overlooked by too many real estate agents. Yes, platforms like Instagram or TikTok are great, but they’re a lot like riding a bike… they’re only taking you somewhere as long as you keep pedaling. While you should still be running with those, there are other platforms that, when leveraged in the right way, can allow your hard-made content to keep reaping benefits for months or even years to come – and I know how much care you put into your content. That’s why on this episode of This Week in Marketing, Jason Pantana shows you 10 marketing channels that appreciate in value over time. We’re thinking about the long game in this one. Watch or listen now and start earning a lot more mileage out of your efforts. In this episode, Jason discusses… ------------ Interested in a FREE Coaching Consultation?

I have a couple of ideas on how you’ll wish you lived, and I share them with you in this Mindset Monday.

You won’t find a more insightful real estate Q&A ANYWHERE than at the Success Summit. Thousands of agents of all different levels, from the newbies who just got their licenses to the titans running multi-million-dollar enterprises, come every year to have their most burning questions answered. We’re now in a time where agents are confused; they’re scared and need answers more than ever. That’s why for this episode of the Tom Ferry Podcast Experience, I want to share the real estate Q&A that agents need to hear today. We have real agents just like you asking the questions, and master coaches Jason Pantana and Jeff Mays giving the answers. No matter who you are or what you’ve been struggling with, you’re not alone – and I bet you one of the agents in this segment asks something similar. So watch it through as Jason and Jeff rattle off their wisdom in this mind-blowing real estate Q&A.

The best AI tools for real estate agents aren’t always the ones you would expect. That’s because AI has not just made it easier to automate certain tasks you already do – it has opened a world for you to do things that wouldn’t have even been possible before, one where you can innovate and blow away the competition with creativity instead of just marketing dollars. We’re in an AI world, and the agent who is ahead of the game will be the one who wins. On this episode of This Week in Marketing, Jason Pantana helps you become that creative tech powerhouse by showing you nine jaw-dropping AI tools for real estate agents. These tools will help you: Edit and format videos effortlessly Add special effects and features Automate and integrate your systems And MUCH MUCH MORE And these aren’t just AI tools for real estate agents – they’re for any entrepreneur looking to scale their productivity, output, and content quality.

What you do right now can completely transform everything that came before it. In this Mindset Monday, I’ll tell you what it takes to finish strong.

This episode of the podcast is 25 years in the making. That’s how long I’ve known Keven Stirdivant – since he was a cocky 16-year-old kid asking for a job. Keven’s real estate journey is a crazy one, full of ups and downs, but what you’ll gain from hearing it is a crazy level of inspiration as you learn how a shift in mindset brought him to the top of his market. You’ll hear his inspiring story of losing everything when his father went to prison, being backed into a corner when he had his first child, working his way up in my company, and starting KASE Real Estate. Keven’s real estate journey is a testament to the fact that you are not a product of your environment; you’re a product of your goals and mindset. If you’ve just begun your own real estate journey – or even if you’re just lost in life and considering the possibility of real estate – this is an episode you need to watch.

Your weekly email newsletter is a vital component of your real estate marketing arsenal. This is the absolute No. 1 best way of putting your content in front of people week after week and keeping yourself top-of-mind with consumers. But in order for that to happen, it has to actually make it into the inboxes of all your contacts. To ensure that happens, Jason Pantana shares his top four adjustments to your weekly email newsletter on This Week in Marketing. When you make these adjustments, you’ll not only get more people hooked on your content but also have more of them engaging with it! If you’re running a weekly email newsletter (or thinking about it) this really is a MUST-WATCH episode. Check it out here.

You want change? You want a better life? Expect resistance. Better yet, plan for it, because great change does not come without resistance. In this Mindset Monday, I’ll show you how to handle the two types of resistance you need to plan for. And if you REALLY want to create change and join a community to help you conquer every obstacle, both internal and external, I’m excited to introduce you to a new challenge all our coaching members are taking on. It’s called “100k in 100 Days,” and it’s even greater than it sounds. Because everyone who commits to transforming their business by the end of the year gains access to a playbook that Jimmy Mackin and I personally put together. Inside, you’ll find everything you need to run the campaigns, beat the resistance, and make the money you desire. We’d love to have you on board for this. Because if you’re guaranteed to add $100,000 to your pipeline in the next three and a half months, what do you have to lose?

What are the most common real estate questions that agents ask me and my coaches? They change every year. A large part of my job as a coach is to answer questions, so I’ve gotten into the habit of writing down every question that anyone asks me, whether it’s about the market, client interactions, today’s best marketing strategies, Ai, or anything else. A few days before Summit, I take this list of a thousand or so questions, study it, and then synthesize it down to what people are REALLY asking. It turns out that when I boil it down, there are only really seven most common real estate questions that agents are asking. In this clip from the recent Success Summit, I’m not only going to tell you what they are, but I’ll give you my answers to all seven of them. This is something special I felt that every agent needed to hear, so be sure to watch or listen.

Twenty years is a lot of memories. When I look back on all that time and what it means to me, I can’t help but feel profoundly grateful. Normally on Mindset Monday, I’d give you advice or encouragement, but this week, I want to talk about what all of you in the community have given me over the last two decades.

Real estate social media video performance isn’t just about the amount of people you reach; it’s about the specific audience you want to reach. That’s why platforms like Instagram and TikTok are so valuable – because if you work the algorithms correctly, it’s possible to pump your content straight to those people in your area looking to buy or sell. To help you push your real estate video content to the right audience, Jason Pantana has three critical “S Factors” of social media video performance. In this episode of This Week in Marketing, Jason walks you through how to make your content more Searchable, Streamable, and Shareable, boosting your viewership and the engagement you get from it. Every real estate agent who is killing it on TikTok or Instagram has these S Factors locked down, whether they know it or not. So, I’d recommend you watch or listen to what Jason has to say, then watch your social media video performance skyrocket. In this episode, Jason discusses… 0:00 – Finding the right audience 2:16 – Interaction equals visibility 5:45 – Searchable 9:30 – 1-2-3-NEW 13:51 – Shareable ------------ Interested in a FREE Coaching Consultation?

If you want to get more listings, you first need to install unstoppable confidence in your mind and your actions. You can’t instill it over time; you need to install it today. There is a cycle that creates fearless action EVERY TIME and I’ve been using it for the past two decades. For all the real estate agents out there who want to generate more listings, make more money, and feel better about themselves, THIS is the way to do it. In this clip from my recent Success Summit, I share with you the steps to install unstoppable confidence and the things you need to do to leverage it into taking more real estate listings. Unstoppable confidence and more transactions start here, so watch or listen now.

When I hear real estate agents saying there are no opportunities in the market, I say that’s a self-pitying mindset. The fact is, there is a MASSIVE amount of commission dollars to be had this year. It just might not be you who gets them… unless… In this Mindset Monday, we’re going to get very clear on who is going to step up and succeed in today’s market.

It’s a fact: the recruiting practices you use when building your team will determine the quality and compatibility of the talent you attract – and therefore how much money you make. Because if real estate is all about population and growth, running a brokerage is about just one thing – having quality people to sell more houses. Emily Kettenburg has been in real estate for 30 years, and today she’s helping thousands of teams recruit thousands of agents. Chris Giannos is the CEO of Humanize.io, and he’s created a system for helping teams recruit for the level of success he’s achieved. On this episode of the podcast, I’m talking to these two champions of the industry about the best recruiting practices for real estate agents, how to identify talent, and the onboarding strategies that create a winning team. If you’re running a team, this episode is essential. If you’re not yet, it’s even more important. So watch it, right here.

Real estate Google search rankings are a lot like pursuing stardom. Sure, you can sit around hoping you get “discovered,” but those who succeed the most are almost always those who put in the work.

Finding inspiration isn’t hard if you know where to look – and where to NOT look. You have to know where to go because inspiration is what will carry you through those moments when you’re not motivated and don’t know what to do. Don’t wait for it to come; go get it yourself. I’ll show you where in this Mindset Monday.

A real estate team is like a scientific chemistry experiment. You’re combining a bunch of different elements to try to create a beautiful result. But sometimes the chemicals might react in a way you didn’t expect and explode. When this happens, your survival depends on the precautions you set in place, and that’s what we’re talking about on this episode of the Tom Ferry Podcast Experience. I have two awesome real estate team leaders Daniel Dixon and Meredith Fogle, who have been through quite a few implosions and explosions themselves – some of them intentional. If you’re running a real estate team, this one is for you, especially if you haven’t experienced an implosion yet.
