Real Estate Coaches Tim and Julie Harris pose 11 critical questions to help you make this important decision. Let’s look at ways you can best determine whether or not changing or switching brokerage firms makes the most sense for you. Let’s start out with the top 11 questions you need to seriously ask yourself that may indicate that a change is coming: 1 - Your personal income has been flat or in decline. Maybe you're doing the same volume, give or take, year in and year out. You seem 'stuck'. 2 - You are the best agent in your office. 3 - Your colleagues, broker, or brokerage, in general, are too negative. POP QUIZ: Please choose one answer: 1) I am ready to join EXP Realty.  2) I am interested in EXP Realty and need more info.  3) I am not interested in EXP Realty.  Key: * If you answered “#1” congratulations. You are about to join the fastest-growing real estate company in the world. Tim and Julie Harris are inviting you to join them at EXP Realty. Text Tim directly for the next steps: 512-758-0206.

RULES 1 - Create a Plan and follow it. Identify what the goal is for you to be in real estate.  Are you working part-time until you can switch to full time or is real estate always going to be supplemental? What’s the income required for you?

Today’s podcast is part 5 of 5 podcasts about the Metaverse and what it really means to the real estate industry, real estate agents, and our future.  Today Tim and Julie Harris answer your questions about the Metaverse: All about Avatars. Most of the questions were about Avatars and how will interactions happen in the Metaverse.  If you haven’t heard yet, Facebook has rebranded itself as ‘Meta’.  A Metaverse is a digital reality that marries social media, online apps and gaming, augmented and virtual reality, plus cryptocurrency, so we can all interact more efficiently online.  That was the most epic run-on sentence ever, but necessary to explain all that’s involved with the Metaverse. 1 - How are we all supposed to interact?  Enter the ‘Avatar’, a representation of you.  You’ll have a very realistic depiction of yourself, but also the ability to upgrade your hairstyle, your clothing, accessories, and general look.  You’ll be able to be very creative or not creative…it’s up to you.  This is why your cho

Today's podcast is part 4 of 4 (maybe 5) podcasts about the Metaverse and what it really means to the real estate industry, real estate agents, and our future.  8 - Can you own part of the Metaverse (like real estate)?  Yes. In fact, virtual metaverse-based 'land' is selling now. Remember, these are the early days.  Gambling on virtual land in a virtual world could leave you with virtually nothing. Please remember the legend about the man who was selling the Brooklyn Bridge.  Legend claimed that he sold it at least twice a week. He did sell it several times including at least once for $50,000! The new owner would discover he was the victim of a con when the New York police officers would stop the “new owners” from setting up toll booths in the middle of the bridge. That said, people are indeed using real money to buy 'land' in the metaverse. After the dust settles, there will be real transactions happening with real money being transferred for virtual land in which to build virtual buildings.  From CNBC: Sale

Today's podcast is part 3 of 4 (maybe 5) podcasts about the Metaverse and what it really means to the real estate industry, real estate agents, and our future.  6 - Is the metaverse a big video game that you "play' using a Virtual Reality headset, (like Oculus)? How will people physically engage and interact within the Metaverse? Remember AOL, download speeds that were measured in days, and 'you got mail'? How quaint those olden times were...and yet, that was less than 20 years ago. The metaverse could be the most significant change to humanity since humans created the wheel.  Get ready... Within the next 24 months or less there will be at least 1 company selling full-body haptic suits. (There are other competing technologies as well, force feedback versus haptic etc.) These look very similar to a wetsuit a diver or surfer would wear.  The company leading the pack on this emerging technology is called TelsaSuit (no relation to Tesla Automotive). Combining the TeslaSuit with next-generation Virtual Reality hea

Today's podcast is part 2 of 4 (maybe 5) podcasts about the Metaverse and what it really means to the real estate industry, real estate agents, and our future. 3 - Is the metaverse 'real'? It's a simulation where you appear as a cartoon-like avatar of yourself. However, over the next few years technology will move past people appearing as avatars to 1:1 simulations. Looking at a person in the metaverse will be almost the same as they appear offline. When 'plugged into' the metaverse things will look and feel very much like real life. Very soon it's reasonable to assume that some people will prefer to spend their lives in the metaverse vs real life.  4 - How many metaverses are there? It appears that there are many, but over time, there will be fewer as the market decides which metaverses are the winners. Facebook is spending $10 billion dollars per year on developing its version of the Metaverse. Virbella (owned by EXPI the holding company that also owns EXP Realty, already has a fully functional Metaverse ca

Today's podcast is part 1 of 4 (maybe 5) podcasts about the Metaverse and what it really means to the real estate industry, real estate agents and our future.  1 - What is the Metaverse? The Metaverse can be defined as a simulated digital environment that uses augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and blockchain, along with concepts from social media, to create spaces for rich user interaction mimicking the real world. Blockchain is defined as a system in which a record of transactions made in bitcoin or another cryptocurrency are maintained across several computers that are linked in a peer-to-peer network.   Reminder, you promised yourself you would become a HARRIS Coaching client.

Today's podcast is Part 2 of Covid 19 Housing Crash Coming Soon?  Did you know that 01/21/20 was the 2 year anniversary of Covid 19 appearing in the USA? We have all now experienced the 3rd worst pandemic in the history of humanity.  What long-term effects will the pandemic have on housing (and civilization on a whole?) Remember, listen to part 1 here: https://timandjulieharris.com/2022/01/21/covid-19-housing-crash-coming-soon-real-estate-training.html What happens next? Will there be some sort of epic correction? Will interest rates cause that? A - Currently we have record LOW forbearance rates at less than 1.5% of mortgages and fewer than 1% of mortgages are in foreclosure. B - Fannie Mae has predicted that rising interest rates in 2022 will indeed affect housing demand, but only by 3.2% fewer loan applications, almost all of them being first-time buyers who are priced out, FHA and VA buyers. So far, even with rates inching higher, loan applications are up 8% this month. Reminder, you promised yourself you

Did you know that 01/21/20 was the 2 year anniversary of Covid 19 appearing in the USA? We have all now experienced the 3rd worst pandemic in the history of humanity. What long-term effects will the pandemic have on housing (and civilization on a whole?) 24 months later, we have: 1- Record low inventory. As of today, there are fewer than 1 million actively listed homes in the United States. 2 - Record high prices, with the average home price at $408,800, are projected to keep increasing by at least 16% in most markets for 2022. 3 - An all-time record of licensed real estate agents, as of today, 1.6 million. 4 - Mid-size and secondary markets have greatly benefitted by 'The Great Re-Shuffle', with people moving to more rural areas and away from urban centers. 5 - Even our language about houses has changed. Now we have Zoom Rooms, Peloton Rooms, and 'Cloffices' (closet offices). 6 - The number of homeowners who refinanced or are in the process has doubled in the past 24 months. 7 - In spite of record-low invent

6 - Allowing a failure, string of failures or a bad month to become your ‘theme song’ versus just saying ‘next’ and moving on. Saying 'It’s too soon to tell’ is better than making your temporary failure into an adult failure spiral. Learn what your early warning signs are and pull yourself out of that funk before it becomes much worse. - Nothing will pull you out of a real estate funk like taking a new, sellable listing. Just another reason to put all of your efforts into becoming a powerful listing agent. If you knew you could set a qualified listing appointment by the end of the day today, list it tomorrow and sell it this week, what would that do to your outlook?
