Agent Upgrade

Starting out in real estate can be tough. It doesn't take long to realize that you not only do you need to learn common procedures and processes but also about people's buying behaviors. Finding a community of folks who are seasoned in these areas is one of the most efficient ways to learn these things. And this is precisely why Jasmine (and her husband Jeff) chatted with Real Estate Broker Jennifer Kjellgren in this episode. They break down methods to find your people in real estate, how doing so can help you stay grounded and grow faster than if you try to navigate it alone, and more.  Watch this episode on YouTube Jasmine Mortgage Team  Jennifer's contact info: Instagram, Email: jennifer@jenniferkj.com, website  Agent Upgrade: Facebook, YouTube, Website, Instagram

Over the past few years, it's been harder to separate our personal lives from our work lives. They've become more intertwined for reasons beyond our control. There is a certain grief in this change but there's also an opportunity. Bridging the calm from our personal lives into what can be momentary chaos in our busy professional lives can help balance things out. Maybe, just maybe, it's time to be more human in all aspects of our lives instead of trying to shift between friendly and professional. These are the shifts that Jasmin and her guest, Adair Cates are digging into during this conversation.  Watch this episode on YouTube:  https://youtu.be/WUly0WWNq1c Jasmine Mortgage Team https://www.jasminemortgageteam.com/ Adair Cates, https://adaircates.com/ Agent Upgrade: Facebook, YouTube, Website, Instagram

Kati Spaniak of eXp Realty and the Spaniak Team believes that reframing herself as an entrepreneur instead a real-estate agent greatly increased her success in the industry. She credits hiring people to complete a single task, managing client expectations, decomposing problems into smaller tasks, and being accountable to herself to her success. These methods have allowed her to grow her team and profits while being able to keep a 9-to-5 schedule and never work weekends. Kati also stresses the importance of building relationships with other real-estate agents and how authentic engagement with the local community can result in never having to pay for a lead again.  Agent Upgrade is proudly sponsored by Jasmine Mortgage Team.  Topics: - Turning community members into real estate clients with Kati Spaniak  - Introducing Kati Spaniak - Becoming an entrepreneur in real estate and marketing targeted areas - Creating a community through Facebook Groups  - Building a Rockstar Real Estate Team - Unique Challenges in the 2022 real estate market - Using Communication and Kindness in your business - The Importance of Having Good Relationships with other agents - Hiring people to fit specific tasks and closing thoughts Also, check out Alan's book, House FIRE, to blow your mind on how real estate investing FIRE method ('financial independence, retire early') can change your life.  JASMINE'S INFO:  -Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasminemortgageteam/  -Tiktok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMLje3oF7/ ALAN'S INFO:  -Twitter: https://twitter.com/thehouseofAC -Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehouseofac/   -Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehouseofac -Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thehouseofac KATI'S INFO: -Website: https://www.spaniakteam.com  -Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/spaniakteam/  -Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheSpaniakTeam  AGENT UPGRADE PODCAST INFO: -Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agentupgradepodcast -YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqsg1xvT7t9o9BYoLx3-0yw -Website: https://agentupgrade.libsyn.com/ -Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/agentupgradepodcast
