MREA Ch 4 - LEADS, LISTINGS & LEVERAGE Leads Listings Leverage - Ch 4 - The Millionaire Real Estate Agent https://www.dna-realty.com/sell/​ • Leads: Generation vs. Receiving ◦ No leads mean no sales. Some agents miss this not-too-subtle point and end up spending their time on other less rewarding things. ◦ Think of yourself as being in the lead-generating business. (Ben Kinney's “one thing” in 2015 is Lead Generation.) ◦ In a prosperous market, there are usually many agents relying on passive lead generators, casual referrals, and luck to create business. This is called Lead Receiving. ◦ Too many leads is a good thing. Always keep the lead generator turned on. ◦ Until you have enough leads to exceed your goals, there is no other issue. • Listings (seller-focused) – see “many virtues” list on page 102. ◦ Hire a Buyer Specialist to represent buyers. But focus on sellers. ◦ “All the Millionaire Real Estate Agents we interviewed devoted their time to listings first.” • Leverage: The Who, How, & What of Real Estate ◦ The challenge is to add the right people. ◦ Great Talent is irreplaceable. It often meets and exceeds standards, & has growth capacity. ◦ Poor Talent can do a lot of damage. ◦ Good Talent should not be confused with Great Talent. Good can really help, but Great can change your business forever. ◦ Avoid settling for people who merely fill gaps and do not have growth capacity. ◦ Most agents settle for good talent. ◦ “After you've hired bad, good is great!” ◦ Great Talent could be what replaces you when you Receive a Million – the prospective CEO. ◦ Great Talent will help you create and implement systems to run your business more efficiently and consistently. ◦ Never underestimate the importance of your first hire. ◦ Systems are the repeatable processes that allow us to duplicate magnificent results easily. ◦ As you progress you'll want to spend less time choosing & implementing tools. Your people leverage can take these tasks away from you and liberate you. ◦ People are the most powerful form of leverage. Hire carefully. ◦ Only after each new piece of leverage is magnificent, can you add the next. ◦ Hire when you've maximized your personal productivity. #dnarealtygroup​ #leads​ #listings​ #leverage​ #Themillionairerealestateagent​ #garykeller​ #davejenks​ #jaypapasan​ #davemartiroso​ #arthurmartiroso​ #realestate​ #realtor​ #business​ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dnarealtygroup/support

Many young agents see their age as a barrier to success, but it doesn’t need to be. We can achieve anything we put our minds to, regardless of our level of experience.   Still, getting started in real estate comes with its challenges. How can we navigate those and go on to make our dreams a reality?   What are the objections commonly faced by younger agents, and what can be done to overcome them?    In this episode, Robert Skeels of The Quintin Group shares how he’s made his mark on the industry at just 25 years old.    "As a new agent, It’s so important to be surrounded by good leadership, whether you team up with them or you’re just in the same environment." -Greg Harrelson Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode     How to boost credibility as a newbie agent: Counter any perceptions of being inexperienced by accumulating as much knowledge as possible. Simply knowing the area we serve goes a long way in establishing authority.  How to stay accountable to the goals we set: Find a way to make not doing a particular task or reaching a goal more difficult than getting it done. If we know we’ll pay a fine for not executing, we’ll put in more effort.  Why it’s so important to maintain healthy habits: It’s easy to quit a routine, but the same can’t be said for getting back into it. Keep the momentum going!   Guest Bio-  Robert Skeels is an agent at The Quintin Group Keller Williams.

Leveraging tasks to a virtual assistant is one of the most effective ways to scale our business. But if we want our VA to become a valuable resource, we can’t skip the foundational training that helps them understand how our business runs. We have to ensure we’re putting in the necessary time to train our VAs. Even the best assistant on the planet will struggle to deliver without clear expectations and procedures. How can business owners at any level coach virtual assistants effectively, and are there any shortcuts? In this episode, CEO of Sphere Rocket VA, Justin Nelson joins me to discuss how to onboard virtual assistants in our businesses. Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode - Why employers need to understand the systems they’re delegatingWhen hiring an assistant, train alongside them to have a grasp of all the processes and software they’ll be using. If the captain can’t lead the ship, we’re bound to go off course. - How to compensate assistants fairlyAvoid the risk of paying low rates and getting low quality work, or high fees to companies that only pay assistants a fraction. Companies like Rocket Sphere VA charge only an onboarding fee and let business owners and assistants decide on a rate themselves. - How to incentivize virtual assistantsOffer virtual assistants bonuses when the business does well. This is a great motivation for high-quality work, and helps build team spirit.   Guest Bio- Justin Nelson is the CEO of Sphere Rocket VA, a company dedicated to helping real estate agents find virtual assistants.

For someone who's never heard of that or never purchased a home before, what is that? A Buyer Specialist or Buyers Agent is a Real Estate agent that specifically deals with Buyers. My main focus is to help people purchase homes. I do not work with Sellers.What are the advantages of working with a buyer specialist? I would say the main advantage to working with a Buyer Specialist is that my main focus in helping people BUY homes. I don't have my toes in both Selling and Buying so that allows me to be 100% educated and submerged in this process for my clients. What are some of the perceived disadvantages of working with a buyer specialist, and what would you say to those? The only thing I can think of that someone would be hesitant to work with a Buyer Specialist is that we tend to not be “lead agents” We work for a lead agent. This may make someone feel we are not as educated enough in the industry or that we are not a good agent. To this fear I would say it would actually be the total opposite. Buyer Specialists spend all their time focusing on the Buying process and will be able to give you amazing results because this is our focus. One misconception that some people have when purchasing a home is that they will need to pay you, which of course isn't the case. How does a buyer agent get paid when you help someone buy a home? When it comes to our commission it is paid out to us at the end of the Buyer transaction by the Seller. Last episode I interviewed a mortgage broker who talked about getting prepared to look for a home. Now, we're going to talk about actually searching for one. Let's start all the way back to when someone has decided to buy a home, let's suppose that they listened to the last podcast and they have a good idea of what they can afford, what they want and what they need. Now they give you a call. What are the things that happen before they every set foot in a house? What does that look like? Before we venture out to look at houses we would have a meeting to go over all the details that will come about with the home purchase. I try and treat each client like it is their first time buying a home. We go over questions and concerns they may have and then we set up a search with specific parameters that they would like to have in a house.What kind of paperwork is necessary to work together with a Realtor? During each stage there are different forms to fill out. I walk my clients through each stage as they come. There are a few initial documents you find at the start of the buying process. They are Working with a Realtor and Buyer Representation Agreement. The Working with A Realtor explains the relationship I have with the Buyer and how I can help them. The Buyer Representation Agreement is a contract between myself and the buyer(s) for a certain length of time going over details of the commitment we both have to each other in the buying process. Now this person has met you, you have decided to work together. You've got a search set up for them. What's the plan of attack to find the right place? Our next plan of attack is usually for the Buyer to go over the search and to let me know if they have any questions about specific properties. I then would advise to set up a day to go and view a few homes at the same time. Putting them together helps you not forget details if you space them out to far apart. It would also depend on the type of market we are sitting in as well. A Sellers market usually indicates we need to act fast to view listings so we may be seeing one at a time. A Buyers market tends to leave us with a bit more time to schedule showings. What does a showing look like? How's this different from an open house, which is something people may be more familiar with? An open house is held by the listing agent, or an agent at their brokerage. This is an opportunity for potential buyers and neighbors to come and see the house on their own usually on a Saturday or Sunday. The listing agent is there in hopes to yes find a buyer for the home but also to pick up new potential clients. It can be great but there also can be a lot of pressure. If my clients would like to goto open houses I always recommend them telling the agent in the home that they are working with a Realtor so they don't get too hassled. Private showings give you a more personal experience as it will just be you and your Buyer Specialist going through the home. You can ask anything you'd like and not feel the pressure of that agent wanting you to buy that particular house. What are some tips for doing “the search” part of buying a home? I recommend getting very specific about your needs and wants. Make three categories. Must have. Would like. Dream need. This will allow you to narrow down exactly what you are looking for in a home. It will also allow me to better understand your needs. It is a list that I always bring my clients back to if we need to refocus. What are some mistakes that you see people make? The biggest mistake I'd say Buyers make during the process is forgetting the big picture. Forgetting that list that they created at the beginning of this process and getting off track. One of my jobs is to bring them back in to focus to allow the Buyer to not feel too overwhelmed in the process.Any misconceptions that you find people have? That they can Buy and Sell on their own. The fact is, yes they can. Given though quality Real Estate agents do this for a living, they are far more likely to make sure your rights are covered, you get a fair price and that you are not feeling alone in this big new adventure.What are some ways that a buyer can really make good use of working with a buyer agent? Ask all the questions! There are no silly questions when it comes to Real Estate. Don't feel like you are pestering your agent. We are here to make sure that you are at ease and comfortable with your end goal and purchase. And Have fun!

Online lead generation works but is costly for both teams and individual agents. How can we increase our chances of converting online leads by using online reviews? Why shouldn't we invest in online leads if we're expecting an immediate sale? Why do we need to let people know what we do for a living more often? In this episode, Jordan Sibley talks about online and offline lead generation. Prospecting hasn't changed in 50 years. You still have to get in front of people. You still have to pick up the phone. -Jordan Sibley Three Things We Learned Many buying decisions are influenced by online reviews Online reviews matter. Just think about it—each time you want to buy something, you probably look at what others are saying about it. The best way to increase your number of positive reviews is to ask satisfied customers for them. Internet leads are long-term leads Very rarely do internet leads turn out to be instant sales. Most people who are looking for homes online do so months before they actually buy or sell a property. As a consequence, you have to build a nurturing system and stick around them until the incubation time is over, and you must also be there for them when they finally decide to make a move. Let everyone know what you do for a living Don't let others wonder what you do for a living. Wear a branded t-shirt. Use an email signature that mentions that you work in real estate. Everywhere you go, find a way to send the message that you're an agent.   Instead of wasting money on Facebook advertising, as everyone else does, go to a place with less competition. The best way to get free leads is to meet with people face to face or make calls. Subscribing to a list of expireds makes it easier for you to persuade the person on the other end of the call because they already showed interest in selling a home. A dialer can help you in your prospecting efforts as well. Guest Bio Jordan Sibley is a residential Realtor and the lead Buyer Specialist at The Sibley Group. Her background in marketing enabled her to gain a better understanding of generating leads, both online and offline, for her team. Jordan is currently active in Slidell and Metairie, Louisiana.

There are a lot of moving parts involved in the home buying process. The most important step, however, is consulting with a buyer specialist.Buying a home? Click here to perform a full home searchSelling a home? Click here for a FREE Home Value ReportWe live in the age of instant information. We recognize that when people want something, they want it immediately. However, buying a home is not as simple as going to the store, taking a product off of the shelf, and paying for it at the register. Real estate is complicated, and a purchase can take a long time.The process involves determining what kind of home you want, comparing prices on properties, figuring out how you’ll pay for the house, and finally, negotiating with a person on the other end of the transaction who has another agenda. Even though it’s a simple process, it’s not done easily. There are over 80 different variables that are involved in a home purchase transaction. Each one of those variables needs to be proactively managed in order to get you the best deal possible.What I’ve noticed over the course of my years in real estate, having taken part in hundreds of transactions, is that buyers want three things: a good deal, a selection of inventory, and the least amount of hassle possible.A buyer specialist’s goal is to serve the buyer and accommodate every one of those needs. This will allow you to get the right home at the right price and potentially save you tens of thousands of dollars in the process. How does the buyer specialist do this?There are over 80 different variables involved in a home purchase transaction.On our team, we take you through a system with a specific list of steps to follow. Before we take you through this system, however, we need to first have a consultation with you. We can’t serve you well if we don’t sit down with you and have a conversation about the largest investment that you’re probably ever going to buy in your life. There are a lot of people involved in this transaction and there is a lot of money changing hands, so we want to make sure that you are protected.For this reason, you’ll have to do a few things before you begin looking at houses. First, be sure to consult with a buyer specialist. This will help you determine whether the team you’re meeting with is made up of the right agents to help you find the right house at the right price with the least amount of hassle.Next, you’ll want to get pre-qualified for your mortgage. Most buyers will need to get a mortgage in order to purchase their next home, and it’s very important to get pre-approved and pre-qualified for that mortgage before you begin looking at houses. You don't want to get your heart set on a home before knowing what you can afford.There are a lot of moving parts involved in the home buying process, so if you have any questions about what a buyer consultation entails or would like to arrange one yourself, please don’t hesitate to give us a call or send us an email. We’d be happy to help you!
