Real Estate Coaching Radio

Todays show is part 3 of 'Lack of Homes For Sale, Stop The Insanity! These 3 categories we just mentioned should be your #1 focus. What to say? Scripting consists of 2 elements. 1. Showing your potential seller the facts about the market... plus: 2. Actually being able to handle the objection (an objection is an unanswered question in the mind of the prospect): 'I'd sell but what will I buy?) What's your current answer?  "Yea, I know, it's really hard to find anything, then you have to compete." (that's not very motivational) Instead: SCRIPTS for part 1 (show the facts) and part 2 (deal with the objection) PART 1 (Open with some rapport, use your FORD elements (Family, Occupation, Recreation, Dreams)...(expect them to ask, 'how's real estate?' "_Bob__, I'm reaching out to all of my friends and clients this week just to share some market news with you so you stay informed. I'm sure you've noticed that there aren't many For Sale signs around right now.  This means that a great house like yours typically is sell

So stop hoping, speculating and wishing the market will just shift magically to a balanced or buyer's market. That's not happening any time soon! What to do and why YOU might be part of the problem... Things we hear from agents: "I already have too many buyers, too much stress trying to win in a bidding war. Why would I want more?" "I'm afraid to take listings who also have to buy!" Are you part of the problem? If you're not reaching out to your database / past clients / centers of influence, someone else IS.  Don't get mad when someone from 'your list' sells without you via For Sale By Owner or another agent! If you're dodging these pro-active calls, you are: a) doing your people a disservice by not informing them of the facts, b) contributing to the lack of inventory by not being pro-active. Solution: 1. You must look at your own Center of Influence and Past Clients (your database) to create the inventory you're looking for! (Script to follow). 2. You must realize that even in a hot seller's marke

Fact: There is very little cause to believe that this will change any time soon. Why? 1) Demographic demand. 2) Builders can't keep up.  The cost of materials has tripled for lumber, increased 22% for steel and many manufacturers are behind on shipping critical components. From toilets to refrigerators, the creation and delivery of these items are behind. Even paint is hard to get. Nationwide, the average cost to build a house is up $24,000 on average. During the pandemic, many of the lumber producers dropped to 50% production in anticipation of the housing slowdown that never happened.  3) Inflation Hedge.  Institutional investors are gobbling up anything under $200,000 and almost always paying cash. In Phoenix for example, fully 30% of recent sales have gone to investors, either iBuyers or small investors. Flippers are also buying in these price ranges. 4) The coronavirus pandemic is a short-term component stacked upon the long-term trend we discussed in the previous 3 points. People want more space,

Todays show is part 4 of 'Do You Truly Have What It Takes To Succeed?" 18) Peak performers DELEGATE but never obfuscate. Trust, but verify.  19) Peak performers are incredibly careful who they take any advice or coaching from. ONE bad or misguided idea can ruin a business. Anyone remember, New Coke? Be incredibly rigid one taking anyone's advice. The world is full of fake experts, fake coaches, fake leaders....have filters for everything. For hiring a real estate coach: - Have they sold residential real estate? Did they/ do they have a real estate license? if yes move to Q2. If no, fake coach alert! - Did they sell at least 100 homes in ONE year? And were those individual transactions vs a building or subdivision? If yes move to Q3, if not...you can do better. Fake coach. - Did they sell at least 100 homes per year for at least 5 years in a row? If yes, you have someone who has been there done that selling homes...and they DO know how to be successful selling RE...move to Q4 - Have they provided AT least 10,0

13) Peak performers KNOW that PASSION is a fleeting emotion and that they do not need to feel passionate to be successful.  14) Peak performers KNOW that balance is a myth. 15) Peak performers know that in order for them to stay peak performers they must be true to their health. They are not overweight and exercise daily. they know there is a direct correlation between how they can perform mentally (and financially) and their physical condition.  16) Peak performers hate hearing NO. When they hear no it's an indication that they must improve not stop. NO is the market's way of telling you....' not today..maybe tomorrow...but you have to improve. peak performers intentionally ask questions that could result in a NO. A true peak performer puts themselves in a position to hear no at least 5-10x per day. If you aren't putting your ego at risk from hearing the word NO you aren't doing your job. 17) peak performers are PROACTIVE lead generators.

6) Peak performers know that you have to choose to be rich or famous. Peak performers choose RICH over fame. Make the results you get for others your goal not making yourself famous. Don't let your ego's desire for recognition keep you from being a peak performer. A peak performer's true goal in life is to be free. You can only be free once you are free from money worries. Ask yourself, are you doing what you are doing so that YOU will get recognition from others and placate your EGO, or are you doing it to help others? 7) Peak performers are MYOPIC. They have tunnel vision focused on becoming the best at ONE thing. Life is barely long enough to be good at one thing..choose wisely. 8) Peak performers KNOW that they MUST create personal financial freedom. They know that they must have all their personal financial needs completely covered via passive sources of income. They give themselves permission to be financially free. They are dissatisfied with not being financially free. They know that once they are ri

Listen now to part 1 of Do You Truly Have What It Takes To Succeed? 1) They don't need 'present pressure' to get things done. They don't need to manifest 'losing what they already have' to be motivated. Normal people will only get things done when they have something forcing them to do it... 2) They don't fall in love with their own ideas. They aren't thinking of their businesses as 'creative outlets' or an extension of their ego's desire for recognition. Peak performers follow the money. They gauge the success of an idea or concept based on net profit to be the determinant of the value of their idea.  3) Money (or the lack of it) is a mirror to the value you create for others. They are not conflicted about money. The dollars in your account (your net worth) are the same as 'votes'. If you lose from not enough votes in an election you lose the race. If the other guy has more votes (aka net profit) he has provided more value and has won.  4) Peak performers KNOW it is about being of service. They know that the

How do you choose a coach? Use 4 specific questions to decide. 1. Has the person actually sold real estate? At all? Ever? 2. Have they sold more than 100 homes in one year? Subdivisions and buildings don't count. Actual single family homes in a variety of price ranges and neighborhoods. 3. Have they sold 100+ homes for at least 10 years? 4. Most importantly...assuming they can say yes to the previous 3 questions... Have they delivered and been PAID for 5,000 coaching calls? Other things to consider... -Is the coach currently licensed and active in today's market or have they been retired for years and pulling from ancient experience? -Has the coach sold and coached in a variety of markets? How will you be coached if / when there is a market shift? -Does the coach know anything about YOUR market?

What are your 'real estate moments of truth'? Online: Clubhouse / Facebook / Instagram / Clubs / Memberships / Charities Offline: Your Voicemail message, your sign, your home brochures, your car. 'Moments of Truth' or First Impressions 1. What are you trying to accomplish with each of these? Are you trying to attract buyers and sellers? Realtor connections? 2. What does your profile LOOK like you're looking for? Are you a fisherman or a Realtor? Are you an investor or are you a broker? Both? 3. Do you monitor your different assets or did you 'set it and forget it'? 4. Do you have any unfinished profiles? Shadow pictures, etc. 5. Do you have any 'CTA's'? Call to action. Are you offering a 'free cma' etc? 6. Are you weird about being a sales professional? No one will toot your horn except YOU. Lots of variants of this: the 'returning agent' who says they're 'new' and yet they did 300 REOs in the previous market. The agent who moved and feels new to their area but actually have experience, etc. Schedule A Free

Today is part 2 of 12 Strategies to Stop Toxic People from Driving You Nuts!. 7 Focus on what’s going RIGHT more than what’s going WRONG. Gratitude, grace and giving will prevail when you focus on what you’re here to give more than what’s here to take. When someone slips through your filter but they’re still your client, especially when you have them in contract, it’s your job to follow through for them! Be the solution, not a continuation of the problem. Get back to a place of being of service. Sometimes you have to get out of your own way...this means setting your ego aside and simply doing your job. Your clients trust you to lead the way, even if they don’t verbalize this to you. They don’t know how to ask for help, but know that they crave your leadership. PROFIT is the result of your leadership and skill. 8 Know that you’re in good company. There’s not a top producing agent in the country who hasn’t had to deal with toxic people. The best ones learn from those relationships and take steps to minimize th

“Toxic people attach themselves like cinder blocks tied to your ankles, and then invite you for a swim in their poisoned waters.” ― John Mark Green 1 Prune the weeds before they grow. Have systems in place to identify ‘early warning signs’ before the weeds take over your relationship. In real estate this means prequalifying 100% of your buyers and sellers for motivation, time frame and level of cooperation. Use your buyer and seller pre-qualification scripts without exception! 2 Make sure YOU are not the toxic person yourself. Monitor your compliant-ometer. Are you a battery charger or a battery drainer? What would people around you say? Do you create problems just to feel like you’ve ‘negotiated’? 3 Stop having separate rules for different or unique situations. Just because someone is buying or selling at twice your average sale price doesn’t automatically make them qualified! 4 When you generate an abundance of business, you don’t have to tolerate the toxic, unmotivated, overly pushy, disrespectful, time va

Todays show is PART 2 of 'End The Buyer Agent Abuse!' Listen to today's show only if you want the cold hard truth about the (near term) challenges facing buyer agents. The simple fact is that being primarily focused on buyers may simply not be a viable business model in this market. Understand, over the next 3-5 years the market may tilt back in favor of buyers. Until then, the downward pressure on buyer agents commissions is real. Add to this the historic INcrease in new agents that is coming now. Most new agents are giving the (very very bad) advice to focus on buyers. That means that not only is their a lack of homes to sell, not only is their a downward commision trend for buyer agents, but now the number of agents competing for buyers is projected to increase in 3-5x.
