He worked as a Yellow Page salesperson from high school until a year after college.

After 7 years, he left that job and worked at the Library of Congress. Eventually, he realized that this was not a career he'd like to pursue. So he started doing volunteer work building sustainable roof gardens. Although Ty enjoyed what he was doing, he had to take a 60% pay cut to do so. And he realized that there are a lot more opportunities to make more in real estate. That's when he decided to pick up his real estate license in 2009. As an agent, has earned several designations such as a Five Star Real Estate Professional, a Zillow Premiere Agent, a Trulia Top 1% Agent, the Washingtonian's Best Agent of 2018, and a Washingtonian Top Agent every year since 2016. Today, Ty is the Founder and CEO of Fulcrum Properties Group. Fulcrum has continually been on the top 10 Keller Williams teams in the country, as well as a top 100 team across all brokerages since 2019. Ty has also served as a Mastery Coach for KW MAPS, was a founding agent advisor for KW LABS, and has served on multiple Agent Leadership Councils.

We all want to become better versions of ourselves. But can we do it all alone? Is getting help a business cost or an investment that comes with a return? What’s the best strategy to get more solid recommendations? On this episode, Coby shares with us his experiences with KW Maps coaching and how it transformed his business. If you truly desire to grow your business, just know you can’t do it alone and shouldn’t do it alone. - Coby Arzola Three Things We Learned from this Episode Success is simple, but not easy Understand that you don’t have to overcomplicate the process once you have the clarity to build a long-term strategy. Many believe that succeeding is a complicated process. The problem is not its intricacies but the fact that there are mindset changes that need to be made, habits to break, and work that needs to get done. Getting help is an investment, not a cost Nobody succeeds alone, and having someone who believes in you, keeps you accountable, and gives you the tools to succeed is what every real estate agent needs. There are strategies and mindset changes that take years to learn on your own, but they can be learned in few months from people who have already been there. Don’t look at it as a cost but as an investment that you will get a return on. Learn how to sell without being salesy Pick a few people from your database and ask them if they have the time for a cup of coffee. You don’t have to be salesy to succeed in this business. Instead, focus on building trust. Building relationships and having conversations is one of the best ways to receive solid recommendations. Your business needs a compass that will lead you to success. Once you have the clarity to find your final goal, prioritizing and building decisions will come naturally to you. You will no longer get distracted and spread yourself too thin. Instead, you will have a clearly outlined path you need to follow to accomplish your goal.

My KW Maps teams and I have set our goals for 2017 and we know how to ensure we achieve them. I’ll show you how. Questions about your Portland Real Estate career? Send me a private emailWith 2017 in full swing, you want to make sure you’re clear on your goals for this year. Along with being a real estate agent, I’m also a KW Maps coach. Today I’ll go over a few things that will help ensure you stay on track to reach your 2017 real estate goals. We have a very specific process on how to set goals, which we started around October. We start with one main goal for the year, which is often a unit count. So, let’s say you want to sell 100 homes in a year, that’s the one main goal. Next, we figure out the three priorities we’re going to have to achieve that one main goal. After we figure out the three priorities, we figure out what strategies or real things that we are going to do to accomplish each one of the priorities. We took three or four weeks to really work through that process as individuals and as a team to not only feel confident in our goals but also feel like the path was laid out. “Your goal needs to be crystal clear. ” Now, it’s January of 2017, and we know that the activities that we do today are going to show up 90 days from now. You won’t start prospecting and making calls today and have a closing by tomorrow. That’s why now is the time to take a look back at the plan and figure out how clear it is. Even in a three to four week period, after to talking to my clients, I’ve realized that we went through that extensive process and it still wasn’t crystal clear. Your goal needs to be crystal clear, and you need to have the priorities in place to accomplish that goal. From there, you also need to be absolutely clear on what strategies you are going to imply to get the business to accomplish that goal. This is going to set you apart and increase the probability that you will accomplish your goal in 2017. Instead of just aiming to accomplish your goal, aim to exceed it. If there is any way that I can help you reach your goals, give me a call or send me an email. I’d be happy to help you!
Questions about Your Real Estate Career?Click Here to Send a Private EmailBook a FREE Business Strategy SessionToday, I have the privilege of interviewing Whit and Monica McQueen, two former superstar agents with Keller Williams. We will discuss how joining Keller Williams helped them retire earlier than they planned!When Monica and Whit were first recruited by Keller Williams, the team leader at the time asked about their lead generation. At the time, they were making $250,000 a year by word of mouth, only to discover that they left at least $200,000 on the table by not generating leads. After attending Family Reunion, Monica and Whit joined Keller Williams!The biggest thing KW offers agents is a roadmap for your business. Monica and Whit were able to use our systems to grow their business. Using this roadmap, they were able to shave years off their retirement goal, and retired in April 2015.Additionally, when the market turned down, Whit and Monica focused their business on the foreclosure market. They worked with a lot of flippers, and learned how to flip homes themselves. As time went on, they came up with a two-exit strategy: flip the home and sell it for more money, or rent the home and earn a profit.They invested in many properties themselves and became KW Maps coaches to help other agents learn to do the same! By following the Keller Williams strategy, Monica and Whit were able to exceed their goals, retire early, and sell their business.If you have any questions, please give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you!
