Being successful in real estate is not only WHAT you know, but also WHO you know, or more importantly, who knows you!

Aaron Luttrull welcomes his guest Erik Goodge of uVest Advisory Group once again. This time, Erik specifically addresses some investment concerns for Realtors and their "lumpy" income. Realtors seem to hold on to their cash (since their income can be up and down) until it causes a "cash drag" on their financial health. Other small business owners can fall into this category as well. If you want to end up with a "work optional life" there are a few things to help keep from getting that "cash drag". 1. Cash Management - Keep about 2 months of expenses in your regular checking. Have about 4 months of expenses in your savings and then get a brokerage account to use to invest your extra cash (this can still be an account that can be fairly liquid). 2. Retirement & Tax Planning - IRAs and Solo 401Ks are good for a stand alone business owner. 3. Unique Investment Needs - Make sure you have an appropriately diverse portfolio. Everything in one area of investment opportunities is dangerous. Having your employment income tied to your employment funds can make you a double loser if you lose your job. Of course this is just a taste of the podcast. Enjoy the chat and if you have any investment questions contact: Erik Goodge: 812-499-5252 or Erik@uvestadvisory.com.

Aaron Luttrull and Will Ritter sit down together and discuss some myths that agents wish their clients didn't believe. #ExperienceTheAaronAdvantage 1. An Agent Doesn't Have to Expend Much Effort to Help a Buyer or Seller Today - Agents work very hard for their clients to market their properties, to find the right property for their clients and to help make their community better. 2. Once a Property is Under Contract, Everything Goes on Autopilot - There are so many moving parts in a transaction that can go wrong and cause unseen issues that an agent works even behind the scenes to make things work (seemingly) as smooth as possible. 3. Selling Off Market is a Better Deal for the Seller - No! In a highly competitive market, you can lose a lot of money without competition from several buyers. You also may not have buyers with a professional helping them make sure they have proper financing etc. 4. You Don't Need to Do Anything to Prep for Sale in the Current Market - So many things you can do that can increase the appeal of your home to more interested buyers and thus put more money in your pocket. Plus, no matter what the current market is, Buyers are still as picky about a house they buy and about how much money they are going to have to put into a new home potentially. 5. Everything I Need to Know About Buying or Selling a Home Can Be Found Online - Realtors have dealt with so many diverse situations that their experience can help you to know what professionals that may need to be contacted in varying situations to get the answers and help you need during the course of your transaction. Not one transaction works exactly the same way. 6. It's Okay to Over Price Your Property, Since There is So Little to Buy - Overpricing can cause your property to go stale which can turn into a bigger reduction on price to move it. Appraisers won't necessarily appraise a house that is overpriced for the price a seller wants to sell their home for which could kill a sale. Properly or even lower priced properties can not only get a seller what they want for a property, but possibly even more. 7. As Long as Sales Are Happening, Agents Are Getting Paid - Agents have a lot of expenses along with what they make plus a lot of hours invested. Brokerages get paid by their agents. Agents must pay taxes on their commissions (it's not automatically deducted). In some instances, certain transactions don't actually make an agent money. Revenue is not the same as "making money". 8. Selling "As Is" is the Way to Go, Especially in This Market - Maybe or maybe not. In some homes this is the best thing for the client, in other times it can create a problem in moving the property because people think that means you can get a discount (when the property is already priced accordingly to the As Is condition). 9. I Can Get a Better Deal on a Property that Isn't Listed - Certain disclosures may not be told to the buyer if off market because it's not required if it's not listed, which means a buyer can buy a property with issues that they may know nothing about ahead of time. Also, a seller may think they have the best price for their home,

Aaron Luttrull shares some of Brian Buffini's, Dr. Lawrence Yun's and his own predictions for the real estate industry for the future. Brian Buffini: https://www.buffiniandcompany.com/ Brian's Predictions: * Lowest Inventory in 50 years, still highest of homes sold in 15 years *More people becoming Realtors *Higher agent turnover due to unexpected market changes *Paramount to agent survival is to find the right brokerage that provides great training and support for their agents *90% of buyers surveyed said they would use their agents again, but truth is 28% actually call their previous agent again due to lack of agent involvement with clients. Personal connection with clients is a must Dr. Lawrence Yun: https://www.nar.realtor/lawrence-yun *Not all new agents are going to succeed in this market, so they need align themselves with experienced brokerages with the best training and support during the changes. *Highly professional skilled agents will be what is sought out SOME GOOD HABITS FOR THE NEW YEAR FROM DR. YUN: *Have fun with the fundamentals: face to face with clients, personal connections and lots of good communication will be necessary to succeed. *Celebrate ALL your successes, both seemingly small and large. Need to keep that "good feeling" in your brain to keep you going through each deal. *Take good care of yourself and always keep training to be a better person and agent. If you aren't improving you are becoming obsolete. DR. YUN's BOLD PREDICTIONS: *Tapering of huge home appreciations *Agents need to make good investments to set themselves up for the changes in real estate in order to keep themselves protected *Expect the market to slow down by the middle of next year, not remain a frenzied market. *2022 will have us seeing a changed market in general *2023 will be a market for skilled professionals in real estate AARON'S PREDICTIONS FOR OUR LOCAL MARKET: *It will be mostly like the national market with increased pricing and a slow down of crazy sales, however it will still be in the average range since our market generally doesn't have huge fluctuations in prices. *Our local association is the largest it has been in years but we may see an exit of some agents and others moving to a team for more skills and training. *F.C. Tucker Emge Realtors will still be the pre-eminent training source for new agents in our local market Music: It Just Makes Me Happy by Dj Quads Follow me online here: https://linktr.ee/theaaronadvantage

Aaron Luttrull and fellow F.C Tucker Emge Realtor, Will Ritter, discuss the "dos" and "don'ts" of listing photos. #ExperienceTheAaronAdvantage 1. Not Enough Prep for Indoor Photos - Don't leave a mess in your home on picture day for your listing. Neat rooms with as little personal items showing as possible. Good lighting. 2. Not Enough Prep for Outdoor Photos - Take photos on nice days when the home is in the best light possible. Pick up stuff out of the yard and even make sure your landscaping looks neat. 3. Pets or Pet Related Items in Photos - Pet food dishes, crates, litter boxes or pets themselves may turn off a lot of buyers if they see them in your listing photos. 4. Clutter - Don't leave piles of dishes in the sink, stacks of paper on the counter or even magnets on the fridge. Eliminate anything that looks like clutter before your pictures are taken. 5. Close Up Photos - A close up picture of your couch or the corner of a room won't help sell the whole house. Neither will pictures of a faucet or toilet. General pictures of the rooms are what is most important. 6. Too Many Photo Enhancements - Don't make the pictures so unnaturally good that buyers will be disappointed when they walk through the door for a showing. 7. Not Enough or Too Many Photos - Not enough photos (like 3 pictures of just the outside of a home) will leave buyers wondering what is wrong with the inside of the home and too many photos of every single detail may bog down buyers so that they lose interest to see the home at all. 8. Political, Risqué & Taxidermy Photos - All three of these things can turn off potential buyers so they are best put up not only for the listing photos but in general while showings are happening. All are personal taste and you want to market a HOUSE and not your HOME. Keep all those things ready to put into your new house.

Aaron Luttrull discusses some things that are good signs that your home will have good resale value. 1. Neighborhood With Lots to Do - If your neighborhood isn't far from great shopping, dining and other fun activities it may help it's resale value 2. Quiet Neighborhood - If your home is in a quiet neighborhood where children can play safely and there isn't a ton a traffic, this may help your home's resale value. 3. Major Components Are In Good Shape - If all of your home's major components (HVAC, Roof, foundation etc) are in good shape, this is great for your resale value. 4. School System - Whether you have kids or not, when looking ahead to sell your home, a good school system is very much a great selling point, so keep that in mind when you buy your next home. 5. Family Friendly Floor Plan - Even if you don't have a family, having a typical 3 bed/2 bath floor plan for families is better for resale than a one bedroom home. 6. Neighborhood with HOA - Most HOAs are all about property values and will make sure that the homes that belong stay kept up to the standards of the HOA. https://bit.ly/3qllVWc Music: It Just Makes Me Happy by Dj Quads Follow me online here:https://linktr.ee/theaaronadvantage

When you are selling your home, there are a few things you should NEVER say! 1. Never Say Your Home is Perfect - No home is perfect and stating it as such can set you up to look like a liar if something comes up on an inspection! Always be honest about what you know about your home. 2. Never Say How Long It's Been on the Market - In today's market, people expect a house to sell at a ridiculously fast rate and even an average time for a home to be on the market may seem like forever. They have ways to find out how long it has been on the market, but you discussing how long can give a negative thought to the buyer as to why it's not "flown off the shelf". 3. Never Hide Any Issues - Always disclose issues you know about. This builds trust between you and the buyer and you and your agent. If you try to hide known issues, this can not only cost you a sale, but can lead to a law suit down the road depending on what facts you hid. 4. Never Talk About What You Wanted to Fix - Never tell a buyer all the things you wanted to do to your home but didn't have the time. This will only point out all the things you see as negative. The buyer may love everything they see, but if you give ideas of how it could have looked better, they may decide they don't want to live somewhere that has those issues. 5. Never Discuss Any Pricing - If you discuss pricing with a buyer, this ties your Realtor's hands in being able to negotiate the best deal for you. It also might get you stuck accepting a lower amount if a buyer knows what your bottom line is. Also, stating all the things you spent money on fixing up the house won't mean anything to the buyer in terms of an amount they are willing to pay. https://bit.ly/3BVwAcd Music: It Just Makes Me Happy by Dj Quads Follow me online here:https://linktr.ee/theaaronadvantage

Aaron Luttrull shares some pitfalls you want to avoid when you are buying a home. #ExperienceTheAaronAdvantage 1. Choosing the "Wrong" Realtor - Be sure the agent you choose is a dedicated professional you have a connection with and be sure he/she has your interests in mind. 2. Not Getting Pre-Qualified - You owe it to yourself to talk to a lender to see what you in fact can be eligible to purchase before you even look at that first house. This will help avoid you making an offer or setting your heart on a home that you may not even be able to buy. 3. Not Knowing the Costs - Ask your agent and lender about all the assorted costs that can go with purchasing a home as well as know not just what you qualify for but what you can actually afford. Along with the costs of the transaction, consider the costs in utilities and other bills you may have with a particular home. 4. Limiting Your Search - It's a low inventory market and you shouldn't limit your search at all. Your Realtor should be able to take your criteria and put it in a search that they can set up for you to help you find the home that will work best for you. 5. Looking for the Perfect Home - There is no perfect home. You need to prioritize your needs over you wants and find what will best work into that list. 6. Not Considering Your Long Term Needs - Think about where you want to be in 5 years and be sure to keep that in consideration while you look. Maybe you will get married or start a family, will the house meet those needs in the years to come? Buying a house that won't can maybe lose you money if you know it won't work for you in a few years. 7. Not Doing Due Diligence - Ask your agent all the questions you need to ask and your lender. Find out all the aspects of the transaction, costs, information about the home yourself and anything else you can so you be the best prepared to purchase that home. 8. Not Having a Home Inspection - Always worth the cost to know more about the home you are considering purchasing. 9. Not Examining Insurance Issues - You may think you can afford that house payment, but have you check to see what the insurance on a home may cost? Be sure you find that out as well. 10. Not Purchasing a Home Warranty - This isn't needed in some cases, but it never can hurt to ask about having one on the home you are purchasing.

Aaron Luttrull discusses an article that highlights some common things that maybe you don't need anymore in your home. #ExperienceTheAaronAdvantage 1. House Keys - Today you can have keypad entry or touch ID entry so that new homes may or may not need door keys. However, keys are still used a lot more in homes than a keyless entry. 2. Telephone Jacks - Even if someone asks if the phone jacks work, more times than not the sellers have no idea since they don't use a landline. Landlines are becoming less and less common, so it may not be a standard feature anymore in a newer home. 3. TV Cabinets - So many TVs now are much larger than they used to be and thinner. Using a cabinet to hold it is less important as before. Wall mounts and table top type of TV stands are much more in fashion. 4. Traditional Water Heaters - Tankless water heaters are more efficient and energy saving so they are becoming the new normal especially in new builds. 5. Manual Thermostats - Smart phone controlled thermostats are becoming more and more popular, however there are still others that are manual as well. Some energy companies offer incentives when you install a smart thermostat since you can have it programmed and set to be energy efficient. 6. Gas Ranges - Some are saying that gas ranges are being replaced with induction heating, but Aaron disagrees and still loves cooking with a gas stove and doesn't see them going away anytime soon. 7. Light Switches - Voice Command or automated switches may be in some higher end newly built homes, however it's highly unlikely these will be disappearing completely anytime soon, as well. 8. Power Strips and "Dumb" Outlets - Power outlets are still a necessity, but they may soon be replaced with smart plugs and power strips that are more energy efficient, and let you control power levels with a smartphone or voice control. These are not commonplace yet in the average home and you will still find outlets in new builds as well. 9. Hard Wired Alarm Systems - This is something that is becoming more and more popular. Having an alarm system that is controlled by Wifi and smart phones are easier to install and are generally cheaper than a hard wired system. 10. Standard Doorbells - With so much online shopping going on, so many of us have packages delivered to our doors on a regular basis, having a Ring Doorbell that has a camera so you can see/hear who is at your door are being installed to ensure packages are safe until retrieved is is a super popular option and is replacing the standard doorbell more and more often. https://bit.ly/3kVDqbp Music: It Just Makes Me Happy by Dj Quads Follow me online here:https://linktr.ee/theaaronadvantage

Aaron Luttrull reacts to a real estate article about getting started in real estate. 11. Using Additional Lead Sources - It's always good to market yourself in as many ways as possible. 12. Get Comfortable with Video - Not everyone has to make videos, but, they are a great way to market yourself. Not just real estate videos, but others about yourself as well. 13. Get Social - Use social media for business and personal. Make people feel like they know you before they ever meet you. 14. Practice Your Scripts - Canned scripts for every presentation isn't necessarily the best, but, a pattern to what you need to say is good. Also, do practice giving presentations to yourself or others so you can be completely comfortable with what you need to share. 15. Make Your Calls - Daily you need to work on lead generations, appointments and making contact with clients. 16. Strategize and Implement - Have plans for email, direct mail and social media and then put them into action! 17. Master Your Presentation Skills - Every presentation is a job interview. The better you are at it, the better the interview will go and the better the chance you will get that job. Same with listing appointments! 18. Be a Sponge - Any time you have to learn something new, attend a function to grow or read everything you can to help your business is time well spent. Soak it up. 19. Find Accountability - Whether it's to someone else like a coach or mentor, or even a way to be accountable to yourself, do it ASAP. It's too easy when you are in your own business to put things off because no one is your "boss" but, when you are accountable, it helps keep you focused and headed in the right direction.

Aaron Luttrull shares some real estate stories that have come from this crazy market we are in! Music: It Just Makes Me Happy by Dj Quads Follow me online here:https://linktr.ee/theaaronadvantage

Here are my top tips for selling and buying in this market: 1. Figure Out Financing - Not just what type of normal financing you are approved for, but, check out what type of bridge loans or down payment options you can make in case you need to try to buy before you sell. 2. Have Your Home Ready - Before you even think about looking at another house, make sure your current home is ready to sell! The market is moving fast and you may not have time to get it ready after you find that house. 3. Know Your Options - Ask about contingent offers and other things you may need to make your offer stand out. Of course, talk to a professional to be sure you can make the best offer you can in this competitive market.
