Who remembers “The Decision” in 2010 when a 25-year-old LeBron James warranted an hour-long live TV special to announce that he was “taking his talents to South Beach”? Why was it such a big deal? Because at 25 and already a two-time league MVP, LeBron’s next contract would determine where he played his prime years… […]

I’ve often said your role as a real estate professional is to solve problems for a profit. The agents who are figuring out how to solve today’s problems are killin’ it… And those who aren’t putting in that effort are, well, struggling.

Because even if I say so myself, we packed that event with tons of valuable information agents need now. In case you weren’t there, […]

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?
