OVERVIEWMatthew Rathbun, a seasoned real estate professional with a background in law enforcement, has dedicated over two decades to the industry, advocating for consumer protection and ethical practices. Rathbun's perspective on consumer preferences in real estate is rooted in the belief that the industry needs to be more attentive to what consumers want, whether it's a preferred realtor, platform, or service. He argues that ignoring these preferences can result in missed opportunities, as demonstrated by the rise of new industry players who have successfully catered to unmet consumer needs. Rathbun also underscores the importance of effective communication and storytelling to highlight the value that agents and organizations bring to consumers. Drawing from his extensive experience, he emphasizes the need for the industry to adapt to evolving consumer behavior and technological advancements, urging industry leaders to lead by example in embracing these changes.TIME STAMPS(00:15:53) From Law Enforcement to Real Estate Success(00:21:08) Inclusive Real Estate Experience for Families(00:22:59) Balancing Family and Professional Commitments in Real Estate(00:25:13) Embracing Technological Advancements in Real Estate Market(00:28:06) Putting Consumers First in Real Estate Industry(00:39:10) Role of Knowledge Workers in Real Estate(00:48:56) Smartphone Tools for Real Estate Efficiency(00:50:13) Consumer-Centric Homes Reshaping Real Estate Market(00:52:38) National MLS Impact on Property Valuation(00:59:10) Centralized Real Estate Data for Consumer Reach(01:00:43) Human-Centered Approach for Real Estate Success(01:07:12) Transforming Real Estate Marketing with AI TechnologyKEY TAKEAWAYS- Matthew Rathbun transitioned to a career in real estate after finding a new purpose in life, bringing him growth and fulfillment over the past 21 years.- Rathbun emphasizes the importance of putting clients first, building trust, and involving children in real estate discussions to create a unique and inclusive experience.- Maintaining work-life balance in the real estate industry is crucial, prioritizing family over professional commitments and setting boundaries with clients.- Adapting to changes in the real estate industry, particularly with the integration of AI, is essential for remaining competitive and enhancing efficiency.- A consumer-centric approach in real estate is crucial, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing consumers and effectively communicating the value provided by real estate professionals.- Knowledge workers play a crucial role in industries like real estate, mortgage, and settlement, providing valuable information to clients and shaping the industry.- Real estate agents can boost productivity and mental well-being by using mobile-friendly tools and apps, emphasizing the importance of embracing technology for better organization and efficiency.

We are so glad you joined us to help you start your new year! This episode's guest is Matthew Rathbun. Matthew discusses business suggestions, strategies, and ideas to help you make your plans for success this year. This is Part 2 of the interview with Matthew on Business Planning. The first part was launched earlier this month. In this part 2 episode, Matthew leads us into a conversation about the people you're partnering with in your business and gives some great suggestions when you consider the rhythm of work and home life. We would also love to hear your feedback on this new format with two parts and shorter episodes.    [2:30] Matthew urges you to choose your sellers and buyers carefully. Allot your time and attention to the right people.   [7:30] Matthew explains that you are alienating your market if you post what a great time it is to buy. It is a very different marketplace today with a different cost of living and a weaker job market than past markets.   [8:27] Whatever you post in a public forum, consider how it impacts your target audience. Tell them you understand their pain points and villains and you have the solutions to their problems.  [12:27] Matthew sits on the board of a housing non-profit. He had a recent conversation with a board member about the challenges people have coming up with the down payment.   [13:40] Matthew recommends apps that can function as your Personal Knowledge Management System.    [16:49] Matthew discusses digital mind mapping and a powerful tool for this.    [18:01] Matthew does his business planning in October and November to get ready for January. Do it when it's right for you. [21:43] Do not trade your family for your career. Your career is alluring; everyone's feeding your ego. It's an ego-driven industry. What your spouse and kids think of you is eternal.   [30:21] Matthew's last word: He has a business planning workbook that you can download on this site.    [31:15] Look for things like virtual assistants. Start budgeting; this market is going to create opportunities.    [31:55] The world is changing rapidly. There is going to be a lot of opportunity in the changes with the right mindset and the right plans.  [33:35] We hope you will consider taking the ABR®, the Accredited Buyer's Representative designation, this year. You can learn more at learning.realtor.   [34:02] We will be continuing with great education to help you work more clearly and more intentionally with buyers. Join us every two weeks for new episodes and review the past episodes if you need help with specific topics. Thanks for joining us! Go out there, improve your system, and sell some property!   Tweetables:   “[Use a] Personal Knowledge Management System. Our brains were designed for creating ideas, not for remembering things.” — Matthew Rathbun   “It is not worth trading your family for this career. I have watched it happen way too many times.” — Matthew Rathbun   “I don't expect my family to support my career.

I love learning and sharing what I've learned with anyone willing to listen. It's what I've done all of my life. I'm a restless and demanding learner myself, so I focus on people in the audience who want advanced information, a little humor, and actionable information when they leave. If a learner attends one of my sessions, I feel honored to have them there and feel that I have a duty to ensure that the time they have given me will be valuable to them. I believe that every moment with learners should count.   I still work with clients and actually practice the skills and information that I deliver in each class. I'm also a licensed broker in Virginia, DC, and Maryland and a licensed instructor in many states in the U.S. I am the Executive Vice President of a large multi-office firm in Virginia and oversee operations, risk management, and agent development among other things. Before becoming a broker, I was a high-performing agent and received a number of awards and accolades throughout the year including the Virginia Association Instructor of the Year, and was recognized by RISMedia Newsmaker Thought Leader in 2020.   My course offerings are pretty extensive and I'm always happy to create unique content if it's within my knowledge base. I'm a certified CRS instructor and have contributed to or written various national certification and designation courses for RRC, REBAC, and REBI (all three NAR education institutes). My emphasis is on leadership development, technology, risk management, and advanced practice of real estate. I have a wide range of experience with risk reduction, including serving on the local, state, and national professional standards workgroups, MLS compliance committees, and various other industry opportunities that have given me broad exposure to what should be the best practices in the industry. I am an alumnus of the VAR Leadership Academy. As an author, I have contributed to many real estate industry magazines and online industry news venues.   A few accolades: REBI National Distinguished Instructor of the Year 2021 CRS National Instructor of the Year 2020 Virginia Association of REALTORS® — Instructor of the Year 2007 RISMedia Newsmaker — 2020 Influencer Virginia REALTORS® Graduate — Leadership Academy — 2007 Fredericksburg Assoc. of REALTORS® — Realtor of the Year 2020 Fredericksburg Assoc. of REALTORS® — President's Award 2010 Fredericksburg Assoc. of REALTORS® — Code of Ethics Award 2011 Fredericksburg Assoc. of REALTORS® — Rookie of the Year 2003 Fredericksburg Assoc. of REALTORS® — Honor “Role” Fredericksburg Assoc. of REALTORS® — Production Awards Coldwell Banker Recruiter Award — Virginia

We are so glad you joined us to help you start your new year! This episode's guest is Matthew Rathbun. Matthew will be discussing business suggestions, strategies, and ideas to help you make your plans for success in 2024. This is the first part of a series on Business Planning with Matthew this month. The second part will launch later this month.   [2:55] Matthew is the EVP of a Coldwell Banker company with 10 or 11 offices in the D.C.-Maryland-Virginia area.   [3:40] Matthew started teaching and has been teaching ever since. He is currently the president-elect for the Real Estate Business Institute, a good partner for CRD, providing lots of education to agents.   [4:20] There has been attrition in the industry. A lot of agents are not seeing a lot of production right now. When you plan for next year, you have to base it on reality. [5:33] We are knowledge workers more than salespeople. The buyer hires you as a buyer's agent for what you know. How do you provide clarity on your value as a buyer's agent?   [7:00] A knowledge worker will say, “I know the market, what my capabilities are, and what my consumer base is and I'm going to build a strategic plan.”   [7:37] You can be a knowledge worker to your consumers and demonstrate that value to them. You can use your knowledge and say, “I'm the CEO of me.”   [9:21] What are we changing for 2024? Agents need to be much more precise with their goals to be able to look back and see what they've accomplished and why this is a good career for them.   [11:12] Matthew goes over tips and tools on how to interject your goals. Substantial industry changes are coming but most of our chaos is controllable.   [13:00] You're controlling whatever chaos you can. Putting systems in place is so important. “You do not rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems.” — James Clear   [15:48] With industry changes, Matthew says training will be a core part of any successful agent's business.   [18:33]. Change is good. A bad change can be corrected to something better. Have a healthy mindset on addressing change. Lean into change and what it means.   [23:06] It's time to add to your listing kit and improve the buyer consultation kit on your website. Market your value proposition for buyers. Matthew discusses what to do in the next 30 to 90 days.   [25:45] Agents need a better consumer persona. Who do you want to work with? Just saying you want to work with sellers or with buyers is not focused enough to reach the core consumer that you want.   [30:18] Matthew cites Atomic Habits, by James Clear as the most transformative book. He recommends other books.    [32:50] Monica urges you to check the resources mentioned in this episode and Matthew Rathbun's website linked in the notes. What education do you need to add to your life and business? The Center for REALTOR® development highly recommends ABR®, The Accredited Buyer's Representative designation.   Tweetables:   “This is very much an industry where you get to eat what you kill. You hunt it. You kill it. Now you get to enjoy it, so to speak.” — Matthew Rathbun   “Change is good. I've always said change is good. Even if it's bad change, it's generally going to be corrected and lead to something that's better.” — Matthew Rathbun   “Every successful CEO is a reader.
