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. Ninety-one percent of all commissions right now are being earned by the top […]

Are you the best agent in your market? Most agents I talk to would say yes, they are. And it’s not an ego thing. It’s the pride they take in their work that pushes them to provide better service than other agents. I’d go so far to say that in a highly competitive industry like […]

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 […]

Sometimes the job of a real estate coach is to cut through some of the excuses agents use to avoid doing the things that will make them successful. We all know we’re operating in a “video first” marketing environment. But far too many agents are still shivering in fear of pressing that “RECORD” button, so […]

“Getting hit in the head with bricks never felt so good.” I loved this comment about halfway through yesterday’s BluePrint event I was doing from attendee and coaching member Cory Coombes. 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, […]

They say, “Strike while the iron is hot.” And in real estate, the iron has most certainly been hot for some time. At a certain point, you’ve got to ask: How many times can you keep striking until you strike out? For the last nine months or so, many agents have been operating at warp […]

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 […]
