You ever notice your computer or phone acting a little sluggish? What do you do? A quick reboot usually does the trick, getting it right back to top performance. After almost a year and a half of pandemic-caused disruption, I think lots of real estate agents need a reboot right around now. There’s a “new […]

Today marks the beginning of the second half of the year. A lot has happened already in 2021… The U.S. market continued its frantic pace with strong buyer demand and low listing inventory. We’ve emerged from pandemic rituals and mostly returned to normalcy. Zillow bought ShowingTime and agents everywhere freaked out. Buyers are making offers […]

Most of the time at our events, I’m on stage and I’m the teacher. Which I love. But I also love the role reversal when I’m able to become the student while our keynote speakers hit the stage. And that’s exactly what happened at our recent BluePrint event with guest speaker Mel Robbins. I was […]

Picture this… Somebody types in “Best real estate agents in [your town].” What happens next? Do you appear in the top results? As a real estate professional, it’s crucial that you show up in Google search results for your local market. If you’re not showing up in local searches like this, it very likely may […]

I recently made a bold prediction. And I’m not backing down from it. I said that within three to four years, I estimate 50% of all U.S. real estate transactions will have a 25-42% referral fee attached to it. Why? Because everywhere you look, people and companies are trying to wedge their way into our […]

As a real estate professional, you have unlimited upside. There’s truly no ceiling on how much you can grow and what you can achieve. Which allows you to dream big. Virtually anything you want is within your grasp. Here’s the critical question, though… Are your actions aligned with your dreams? Are you actually doing the […]

If you know me, you know I’m pretty much an open book. I don’t mind revealing inside information about how we do business as long as it helps you run your own business more effectively. And as CEO, I’m always pushing my executive team to innovate and try new approaches. In fact, we’re calling 2021 […]

The benefits of having a strong personal brand are pretty obvious… People trust you from the start. They actually CALL you. There’s less friction during the process. And the list goes on and on. Basically, a well-established brand makes everything easier. So… how do you get there? To me, there are seven crucial questions you […]

You might want to bookmark this one. Because at one point or another, we all get in a funk and don’t feel like picking up the phone and making our calls. We make excuses. We procrastinate.
