Send us a textIf you find yourself thinking things like, “I just got lucky — they're going to find out I don't really know what I'm doing,” or “Any minute now, they'll realise I'm a fraud.” You are not alone. Would you believe that Oliver Lavers - a $5M GCI agent, and the #1 International and NSW/ACT Salesperson at Ray White for two years in a row - struggled with impostor syndrome not that long ago?Impostor syndrome isn't always a weakness - it can actually be a hidden strength.In fact, according to organizational psychologist Adam Grant, reveals that people who experience impostor thoughts tend to prepare more thoroughly, stay humble, and remain open to feedback - all of which can enhance performance.

Real Estate Market Wrap: Overall, volumes are significantly down due to the Labor Day Long Weekend. Yet, there's been decent levels of auctions, compared to other long weekends. Don't read too much into the Clearance Rates today. Because when you have significantly reduced sample sizes – it's not indicative of what the market is really doing. I was appalled by this agent who wanted a Double-Header “Commission” This auctioneer couldn't handle a buyer and everyone was scared to bid. How much money do real estate agents really make? There are 3 types.
Currently, we have an oversupply of listings in all markets (including Perth). Agents who are not skilled at ‘narrowing the gap' will have lethargic stock levels. Here is what to do between now and Christmas to get your listings sold. Before Matt Lahood was the Founder & CEO of The Agency, he'd been an outstanding agent for decades.
