Welcome to the Good Life Property Management podcast! I’m your host, Steve Welty. This is a show for property management entrepreneurs who want to build not only great business, but also great lives. I’m here to help you gain the freedom to live life on your own terms while creating a positive impact in the world. Also, please check out Steve Welty's Music! Clint Collins joins me today for a fascinating and insightful conversation. He’s been in the property management space for a while, and has run a couple thousand units. He’s a great person to talk to about hiring, which happens to be our subject today. Instead of doing a formal interview, Clint and I will have a mastermind-level conversation, and you guys get to listen in! At our mastermind event, we found that hiring, training, employee retention, and employee trainings were easily the #1 issue that people had. This is the case even at long-lasting, highly successful property management companies. Just about everything in your company involves your team, so having the right team is vital to having a company that runs as smoothly as it can. In our conversation today, Clint will talk about how he’s shaped his hiring process to more likely provide the best possible results. He talks about the importance of including yourself in your assessments, and why you shouldn’t fall into the trap of only hiring people like yourself. He’ll also give insights into how to get started with assessments. Tune into our high-level conversation today to learn more about all of these topics. You’ll also hear why you shouldn’t count on an interview alone when deciding who to hire, how important it is to let your team feel involved in the hiring process, some tips for handling test drives with potential employees, and much more. If you have any questions or doubts about hiring and your hiring process, this is the episode for you!

Today’s insightful guest is Clint Collins, a fellow property management entrepreneur, and a friend of mine! Clint has been in property management for over 15 years. Like many people, he got started by buying his own properties and figuring out how to manage them. He got so good at managing his own properties that other people started asking him to manage their properties, and he grew from there. He sold his company last year and has been consulting since then. Clint and I frequently geek out and brainstorm on the phone about Strategic Coach, a program we’re both in. We decided to open one of those conversations up to you by recording it as a podcast episode instead of just keeping it private on the phone! To be clear: this episode definitely isn’t a pitch for Strategic Coach, and Clint and I don’t get anything out of it if you sign up. With that said, we both think coaching is a great thing overall, and I think this conversation brings a lot of value to the audience! Clint and I will explore why the work-from-anywhere life that property managers often brag about isn’t everything it seems. After all, if you’re sitting on a beach in Hawaii, wouldn’t you rather be taking time off and relaxing instead of working? We’ll also take a deep dive into the concept of unique abilities, or something you’re innately good at. The fascinating thing about a unique ability is that it’s probably so much a part of you that you don’t even realize it’s a unique talent or skill, because you figure everybody else is the same way! As if that weren’t already a lot, we’ll also talk about how to be present, why it’s so important (both professionally and personally), and how it actually allows you to be more efficient. We’ll dig into why going out of town with no internet or phone connection for a week is a great way to learn about your team, how we each explored The No-Office Solution, ways to help your team feel a sense of ownership, and much more! Learn More About Clint: Clint Collins on LinkedIn In This Episode: [01:20] - Clint introduces himself and talks about his background in property management.

[08:28] - Steve talks about presence, and how his mission to become more present led him to where he is now. [10:05] - We hear about the moment that things clicked for Clint, which was when he realized that being present is more efficient. [13:34] - Clint talks about the benefits of having a focus day and a buffer day every week, and the benefits of taking vacations from your business. [15:46] - Steve digs into The No-Office Solution, and shares his progression with the idea. [19:47] - Clint talks about what some of the smaller property management company owners he works with would think upon hearing all this.

[35:05] - Steve brings up the topic of unique ability, which is the idea that there are certain things you’re uniquely good at. In fact, you might be so good at them that you don’t even see them as a superpower. [39:38] - Clint reiterates that your unique abilities are often the things that you don’t realize you’re good at, because you take them for granted.

Clint Skutchan, recovering association CEO, consultant, and podcast show host, digs deep into the struggles of association life, including having to deal with people who seem to just be “riding it out.” Whether it be unmotivated volunteer leaders or members that fear change and use their power for the not-so-good, Clint seems to have dealt with it all. Tune in to hear what it takes to create real change and shift the minds of the people who have the power to make it. Please subscribe to this podcast in iTunes or in the Podcasts App on your phone. Never miss a beat from Leigh by visiting The Leigh Brown Experience. Time Stamped Show Notes: 01:15 – Clint’s background 01:20 – He was an association CEO for 10 years, spent 10 years in talk radio, and he now consults 01:45 – He combines his association and media skills to nationally consult and speak 02:11 – Why should people be interested in association life? 02:19 – If you aren’t paying attention, others can take advantage of leadership roles and relationships 02:52 – Local, state, and national associations leadership tips; a woman called Leigh to ask for advice on her incoming local presidential role 03:50 – Leadership is all about what you can do for the association and its members; it is about serving and understanding your role and process 04:45 – Leigh asked the woman how the CEO/association executive is, because that’ll give insight into what advice to give 05:22 – Leigh asked why the woman labeled the person as “bad to medium;” they don’t communicate, value the members, or have a clear and positive view of the future 05:58 – What would Clint tell an incoming leader who’s dealing with a staff person who isn’t energetic or shoulder-to-shoulder with their volunteer leaders? 06:07 – Asking the question: “Why are you here?” 06:20 – What is their motivation? Are they just riding it out? 06:45 – Figure out how to manage that or how to move away from that kind of executive 07:00 – If you are an executive that has lost your motivation, you should change personnel or change your perspective 07:21 – “My Year:” One person’s legacy that may not encompass the whole 07:52 – Ask the staff what they need; sometimes it’s the volunteer’s problem 08:09 – Some volunteers are used to running their own business; an association is very different because it is a collective experience 08:43 – There isn’t any real formal training in most cases for association leadership 09:02 – When you rise to leadership you are no longer just focusing on one thing; you must oversee it all and the whole team 09:20 – Are volunteer leaders provided the correct education to succeed and understand what they’ve said “yes” to, since the role is entirely different than their day-to-day life? Does Clint think that realtors are responding to threats in a personal way because they must move fast in their business life and associations typically move slowly? Have associations failed to respond because they don’t educate their volunteer leaders correctly? 10:18 – The good organizations are doing it right; there is a big difference between those and the ones just finding their way through 10:33 – The ones geared towards flexibility and change work in a change-based world; the ones stuck on status quo get stuck 11:02 – How can volunteer leaders push their associations to have a mindset that embraces change rather than resists it? 11:28 – It comes down to the association’s culture which consists of strategic focus, repeatable processes, consistent outcomes, and mutual passion 12:15 – With those things, you’ll identify the self as an entity; it starts with a good staff and good leadership 12:47 – If you have a forward-thinking leader in an association but the volunteer leaders fear change, resist listening, and eliminate staff, how do you get past that? 14:00 – When you are an executive you hire and fire volunteers that make decisions based on whims, are too comfortable, don’t want to follow processes 14:53 – Ultimately it’s a matter of how much attention the general membership pays to those who are their leaders and their decisions 15:00 – Their actions show if the leadership is ready to lead and represent 15:35 – What Clint thinks will happen in real estate life within the next 3-5 years 15:55 – He looks through the lens of the association 16:08 – 5 trends he sees in the association world: leadership shift impacts will find their way to the local organizations 16:50 – Consolidation shifts will continue (regionalization) and will impact day-to-day agents 17:28 – Advocacy must start to adapt; the way advocacy is approached and delivered needs to shift; if you aren’t going to adapt you are going to struggle 18:00 – As markets settle in, we are going to see agents have extra time on their hands; there will be more volunteers coming back to the association 18:50 – Even new realtors can have the knowledge and expertise to make good positive changes in the association world 20:00 – When does Clint think we will see a National Multiple Listing service that is backed by realtors? 20:19 – He doesn’t see a national one happening, he thinks regional ones that revolve around true markets are more likely 21:54 – You can read Clint’s columns on Inman or listen to his podcast called The Association 3 Key Points Leadership is about serving and understanding your role and processes; know what you can do for your team and members. Get involved in association life but be adaptable and accepting of positive change and future-driven leaders. Both in association life and in your own business, the keys to a solid culture are strategic focus, repeatable processes, consistent outcomes, mutual passion, and identifying the self as the entity.
