In today’s episode, I’m joined by Karen Cooper, a team leader and coach whose real estate career spans 18 years. She has navigated the real estate rollercoaster, from working as a managing broker, to running a real estate operation that is intentionally not a rainmaker team. After observing the high turnover that these teams have, she decided to create a team with decentralized lead generation, and an environment where agents could grow and build their own personal brands. Her passion for empowering agents drove her to create a Facebook group and coaching program that helps fellow agents gain a sense of direction and not feel the loneliness and isolation that’s so common in this industry. She has always put client care at the center of her own real estate business and she took the client care program she developed and adopted the same methods to her coaching. She has effectively leveraged the freedom this business gives us to create a career and business model that works for us. “There’s many ways to be successful in our business and we wanted to create our own thing.” Karen Wenner Cooper is a wife, mom to 3 sons, lifelong Lovettsville resident, real estate coach and owner of the Platinum Group Real Estate team at Pearson Smith Realty, a team of 35 phenomenal women and moms, based in Leesburg. Licensed since 2002, she has personally helped over 700 families during her career, and exemplifies what it means to be a real estate professional. A recognized expert, she has been featured on several local, regional and global Podcasts, and been a featured speaker at the Virginia Women’s Business Conference. Passionate about helping women in the real estate industry, she is the founder of Empowering Women in Real Estate, with over 8000 members nationwide. Real estate is a vehicle for freedom because it offers many paths to success. We don’t have to subscribe to one way of running a business, and we can build and run something we want. When people build a different model and culture, it’s not by accident, there’s intention behind it. Often it’s because we see a better, more valuable and beneficial way to hire, work and earn.

There's a tendency to believe that achieving success is complicated, but as most successful people will attest, simplicity is the best way forward. How can simple approaches help you reach tremendous heights in your business? Can you apply simple ideas to practical manifestation? On this episode, I talk with industry veteran Karen Cooper to hear how she’s put surprisingly simple tactics into practice to great effect. Takeaways + Tactics Be consistent. If you want to grow your business you need to have a consistent approach, whether in communication with clients or systems used in-office. Confidence is key. You can boost your confidence levels by making sure you’re constantly dealing with potential clients- even the non-serious clients. Take every interaction as a learning opportunity. Commit to a new morning ritual over a 30-day period. This is how you’ll build new habits and instill self-confidence. At the start of the episode, Karen explained the importance of investing in your business. That investment should come not only in the form of finance, but your time and energy. With that said, Karen also shared that the time you spend should allow you to build systems that mean you do less work as your business levels up. We also discussed: That the position you’re good at now will be easily replaced by someone else when you scale your business How your time in-between transactions should be spent on creating systems Why systems are the only way forward For the most part, our inability to reach our goals lies in our mindsets. Whether that be because of a lack of self-confidence, or insufficient motivation, we have the power to prove ourselves correct. The great news is, we also have the power to prove ourselves correct when we tell ourselves we can do something. Stop telling yourself you can’t reach new heights or complicate the process. Take the journey to success back to basics and make good on new rituals. Guest Bio- Karen Cooper exemplifies what it means to be a real estate professional, and is one of the owners of the Platinum Group Real Estate team at Pearson Smith Realty.

Thanks for tuning in today to The Real Deep Dive Podcast Episode 003! Today we are diving deep into running your real estate business like an actual business with Karen W. Cooper of Platinum Group Real Estate. Join us! Karen has worked in real estate for 16 years. She has spanned almost every possible position in the industry. She’s been a listing specialist working on a team; she’s been a managing broker and now she leads a team of her own. Working on a team is a fantastic way to develop professionally as a real estate agent. Karen worked on a rainmaker style team for several years. She noticed that working on a team is not sustainable for most agents for long term because the splits tend to be low. As an agent starts making their own contacts, they’ll go off on their own. Teams become a revolving door. Karen designed her team, Platinum Group Real Estate so that agents would want to stay. She structured a team that provided all of the benefits of a team with centralized marketing, centralized systems and support. It let agents advance within the team. Kara and Karen share amazing practical tips for running your real estate business like an actual business: First – remember that your team is your second family. Second – have an LLC and consult with an accountant. Invest in this as soon as you can. Third – keep your budgeting clean. Karen uses a debit card instead of a credit card. All of her incomes and commissions go into that account. Then, she pays herself from that account. She pays her expenses from that account as well. Taxes are pretty simple because everything is from this one account. If she does put an expense on a personal credit card she’ll reimburse herself. When budgeting ask yourself what can afford to outsource so that you can focus on the part of your job that inspires you? The health of your business will be better overall. In the beginning you may be wearing many hats, but as soon as you can afford to outsource a few of your more draining tasks – do it. Fourth – Income varies, expenses generally stay the same. Kara and Karen share specific tips on how to manage this dilemma!
