Hey Agents! In this episode of our Real Estate Agent Training Series Part 11, let us talk about the essential weekly habits that can significantly impact the success trajectory of any real estate agents, not just for the short term, but for the entire year. Drawing from my 23 years of experience in the industry, including a tenure as a top 1% realtor and author of several best-selling books on real estate strategies, I provide actionable advice that can transform your approach to business. Education emerges as the cornerstone of success. Staying abreast of global and local market trends, utilizing resources like Keeping Current Matters and state realtor associations, is imperative. By understanding the nuances of the market, you empower yourself to make informed decisions and provide valuable insights to clients. Networking takes center stage as well. While digital outreach is crucial, there's no substitute for face-to-face interactions.  Regularly engaging with individuals outside the real estate sphere can lead to fruitful partnerships and collaborations. Attending networking events and broker tours not only expands your professional circle but also enhances your understanding of the market landscape. Consistent communication with potential clients and industry partners is another key aspect. Building and nurturing relationships through regular interaction fosters trust and credibility, essential for long-term success in the real estate business. Lastly, consistency is paramount. Establishing a disciplined routine, including showing up prepared and ready to work every day, sets the stage for sustained growth and achievement. By adhering to these principles, real estate agents can defy industry norms and achieve enduring success. Drawing from personal experience, I can attest to the transformative power of these strategies. By embracing education, networking, communication, and consistency, you can chart a path towards real estate excellence that transcends short-term gains and leads to long-lasting prosperity.

Every organization has a culture, whether we're intentional about it or not. Leaders cultivate the culture and that impacts the results we get. How people feel, speak, act and interact within our businesses is what ultimately drives our success and profitability. The problem with culture is that it's very often just stated, not lived and even worse, without realizing it, leaders could be killing their culture with their own words. Strong cultures are built around belonging, and in our world that goes beyond our teams, it includes the people we serve too. How we lead can either create belonging or create rifts between our people which will rip our businesses apart. How do we change culture by changing our language? What do teams with strong cultures do differently? In this episode, owner of Keeping Current Matters, Bill Harney talks about simple steps that will transform our culture.   When you unintentionally use exclusionary words that strikes rifts in an organization and that becomes a culture killer. -Bill Harney    Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode   -Language can rip your culture part How do we avoid using words that unintentionally exclude people and create rifts in our organizations?    -How to bring core values to life Everyone's been told you need to have core values, but the truth is, most of them live on a wall. What can we do to make sure those values manifest themselves on our teams?    -What strong cultures have in common How do we build and cultivate teams where people are happy to come to work and work together?    Guest Bio Bill Harney challenges what is possible in the workplace. He is a visionary entrepreneur and the esteemed CEO of Keeping Current Matters, the leading educational content provider for the housing industry. After years leading sales and marketing teams in professional sports, Bill joined his father to grow KCM from a founder- focused small business to an industry powerhouse. After taking over as CEO in 2014, Bill built KCM with a unique mix of business savvy, cultural investments, and an unwavering commitment to employee empowerment. His proudest professional achievement is the strength & consistency of KCM's culture as the team has grown from six people in a garage to 50+ employees working together in Richmond, VA. Doing things others believed impossible through rapid growth, KCM's for-people culture has been the secret sauce powering their business success. It is this commitment to culture that has allowed KCM to be recognized by Fortune Magazine and Great Places to Work as a Top 100 small workplace in America a whopping five times since 2016. Bill is an expert in team leadership, strategic planning, and scaling powerful cultures. He is a frequent podcast guest and highly sought-after speaker, sharing the secrets of KCM's success so others can build game-changing cultures too.

Right now, every real estate agent in the country is asking two big questions: Where is the 2023 housing market headed and how can they prepare themselves for it? But the thing about these questions is that not everyone is going to agree on the answers.   Someone like entrepreneur and noted business personality Patrick Bet-David predicts a very different future for the 2023 housing market than myself and David Childers of Keeping Current Matters. But instead of arguing about it, we're willing to hear each other out, pull up the datapoints, and try to find some common ground so that we can get to the bottom of what everyone wants to know.   On this episode of the Tom Ferry Podcast Experience, David, Patrick, and I dig in to where the real estate market is headed in 2023 and what smart agents can do to prepare for it. If you're a real estate agent who works in the U.S., this is an episode you need to see.

The biggest question right now is if right now is a good time to buy a house. Seeing the rise in interest rates and prices, many people have questions.  The decision to buy a home is a very personal decision for everyone. There are two things everyone should ask themselves. What do you believe about interest rates and what do you believe about prices?  Interest Rates Since the first week of this year, interest rates have shot up. It has been the fastest rise in interest rates in 50 years. This has added, on average, $1,000 to mortgage payments across the country.  In the short term, experts are forecasting rates to go higher - because of inflation - and this is driving us toward a recession. Historically, recessions have meant a fall in interest rates.  Pricing A rise in interest rates is causing demand to pull back which is reducing the downward pressure on prices. There are not many reputable sources calling for a crash in the market.  David believes that next year will be relatively even.  Long-term benefits of home ownership In the last few years, we have gotten too used to appreciation in price. That is not a normal market.  For many individuals owning a home is a major life event and ultimately it is about the American dream.  David's advice to agents In David's office, they have a large wall that reads “Every family should feel confident in buying a home”.  Check out Keeping Current Matters and learn how to create credibility in your market.  Do you have a video or content idea perfect for your business?
