Matt and his business partner, Tim Hill, dive deep into the realities of profitability in the construction industry. Recorded in the brand-new Risinger Build studio, Matt & Tim share a candid conversation about the challenges general contractors, home builders, and remodelers face when it comes to profit margins, client expectations, and project planning. Despite the common misconception that builders are highly profitable, they reveal that average net profits hover around just 5–6%. This low margin—combined with high risk—requires smart planning, detailed pre-construction processes, and disciplined financial management to ensure long-term sustainability.Matt and Tim stress the importance of transparency in pricing and standing firm on realistic budgets, even if it risks losing a job. They warn against chasing "portfolio projects" that look good on paper but lead to financial losses and client frustration. A major theme is the need for builders to carefully align with clients, architects, and budgets before contracts are signed to avoid scope creep and misaligned expectations.Not only do Matt & Tim discuss the “what” and the “why” of profit margins but also share the “how” to manage profit and loss statements effectively, including separating direct costs, indirect costs, and overhead.Thank you to episode sponsor Arclin!

Here's what to know about CRMs and which is the best to use. What's a CRM? What's the best CRM to use in your real estate business?  There's a lot of confusion around “shiny objects” in our industry; we're one of the most sold-to groups of consumers I've ever met! We're always responding to the next quick fix to take our business up a level. However, often those things aren't very helpful at all. CRMs are one of the most-sold things to real estate agents. CRM stands for “customer relationship management”; it's a piece of technology that helps us manage all of our customers in one database so we can hopefully provide them with value and nurture those relationships, turning them into clients. It organizes all that information and communication in one place. “Utilize a CRM every single day.” What's the best one to use in this season for your real estate journey? That's a bit of a trick question because the answer is the one that you'll truly use. Frequently, an agent will use a CRM because it was sold to us or we saw someone else using it. In the past, I've used popular CRMs like Outlook and BoomTown, and we're currently using Firepoint and Keller Williams' system called Command. Even if it's a simplistic CRM that's not even real estate-related, if we use it every day and organize our databases in it, it'll help our business much more than one we don't use. A simple CRM that you use is better than a complicated one that you can't figure out. Utilize a CRM every single day; track your business and lead gen time in it.  I have demoed over a dozen CRMs, I know exactly what they charge, and I've onboarded and offboarded with many of them. The right one for you and your budget has a lot to do with the season of growth you're in at the time.  Just private message me, and I'd be glad to do a consultation to analyze your business and give you my top two recommendations for the CRM you're most likely to use. Or if you have some simple questions about CRMs or any other real estate matter, call me at (717) 216-0860 or email dave@davehooketeam.com. I would love to speak with you.

During this episode of the Lab Coat Agents Podcast, host Tristan Ahumada speaks with Mike Perna about all things expansion and the opportunity to maintain culture while creating the freedom to succeed at the highest potential. If you are considering creating a team, expanding into multiple markets, or as a single agent want to hear about the proven structure and behaviors that generate success, you will not want to miss this episode. Episode Highlights:  Mike Perna has had a team since 2000 that focuses on the Detroit area. He has over 700 reviews on Zillow. His number one challenge in hiring was the culture disconnect. His number one hiring source is Craigslist. Past clients help him find agents as well.  Right now it takes him 48 resumes to get to one hire. The first thing he looks at is the grammar on their resume. Job hoppers are a huge red flag to him. He generally calls twenty people for one position, will have three come in, and make one hire. Mike uses Gary Keller's six personal perspectives during his phone interviews. He looks for applicants that speak positively of their former employers. He has them sit through a team meeting. He asks them how much they want to make and explains how many properties they'll have to close. Agents go through a 90-day training program. On Day 1 they dump contacts and they're dialing through their contacts multiple times. Three out of four agents usually remain after that and then they become  rockstars. Next he trains them on open houses and then lead ponds and pre-set ISA appointments. Mike describes the structure of his team. They discuss working remotely vs. coming into the office. Mike describes how he goes about offering leads to his agents. Getting tight on his hiring has made the biggest difference in the growth of his business. It's the B and C players that need the systems because they need structure. You're forcing your A players out. Tristan and Mike lament A players they lost. The Perna Team will sustain consistent growth by hiring the right people and not forcing the growth. He makes three calls five days per week. They are half the size that they used to be but they're doing more deals. His team has a call day once a month. They also try to have a fun outing together monthly to maintain connection. One of the biggest struggles he had was getting the right leads to the right agents. Be particular about who you hire all around. 3 Key Points:   Be very particular about who you hire as you expand your team.   Provide your prospective agents with clear expectations from the outset.   Be willing to say no 49 times to get the right yes.  Resources Mentioned: LCA Marketing Center: LCAmarketingcenter.com Lab Coat Agents: LabCoatAgents.com Mike Perna website, LinkedIn   Mindset by Carol Dweck (book) Contacts to Excel (app) MyOutDesk Good to Great (book) Firepoint  Connect with Lab Coat Agents: Lab Coat Agents on Facebook Lab Coat Agents on Twitter Lab Coat Agents on Instagram Lab Coat Agents Facebook Group

It is time for the final component of our seven component of a business plan.Book a FREE Business Strategy SessionToday marks the final installment into our series on the seven components of a business plan. This time, we are going to talk about processes and procedures.All business plans must incorporate a client relationship management system, also called a CRM. There are many CRMs available, such as Top Producer, Firepoint, BoomTown, or TigerLead, that you can choose from. Personally, we use Firepoint, because it can take your business take you from a small group to a large team.You also need to figure out your marketing plan. Where do you get your leads from? It doesn’t matter if you choose Zillow, Realtor.com, or pay-per-click leads—you still have to map out your systems. Many people jump into using Facebook advertising. However, this is actually the least profitable lead source for agents, simply because it is so common and easy to use. After your CRM is established, start reaching out to the people in the database.After your CRM is established,  start reaching out to the people in the database. Set up a system that will tell you how often to call your past clients, your friends and family, and your hot, warm, and cold buyers. If you have any additional questions about this, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to speaking with you soon.
