Leo also gets personal, sharing how he prioritizes family and work-life balance despite a demanding role. He tracks time with his kids, blocks out non-negotiable time for them, and keeps his schedule tight. "90 percent of the time you'll spend with your kids is before they turn 18.

In an active seller’s market, there’s a huge advantage for real estate agents who utilize multiple offer strategies. There are inventory issues in many of the markets in our country right now, which can be difficult for buyers, sellers, and agents alike. In today’s episode, Dale Chumbley shares several best practices for real estate agents to help your buyers or sellers win in a multiple-offer market. If a property is priced properly, it’s going to be competitive. As an agent, the best thing you can do is educate your client and let them know what to expect in the given market and how you’re going to help them through the process. It can also be helpful to have data to show the buyer, but don’t go back more than three months, especially in a changing market! Monica and Dale talk about some of the ramifications of overpricing; if you really want to drive competition, you may even want to price slightly down. Dale talks about what elements make an enticing offer. One of the biggest things he does is call the listing agent to figure out exactly what the seller’s pain point is and what would help. Establishing this good relationship with the listing agent creates a better stress level for everybody. If you can give a seller a month rent-back free, you can improve the net to the seller without having to see the appraisal come higher. Having strong offers where you can improve the net to the seller is important, especially in these multiple-offer deals. Dale talks about the low appraisal addendum in his market, and how it can give the seller peace of mind. A clean offer is a strong offer. Completely fill out the purchase and sale agreement, and establish respect in the transaction. Having all forms filled out sets a good standard for moving forward. There are also some other best practices, such as not asking for repairs upfront, and an easy way to make comparables with closely related properties. In all of these situations, a call to the listing agent made all the difference. As a real estate agent, make sure you are creating these positive relationships! Bringing the lender into the fold can also be beneficial. Love letters and escalation clauses are more risky and controversial pieces of the closing process. As a listing agent, it’s important to explain to the seller the consequences and liability of accepting love letters. These are falling out of best practice — it’s more important to know if they are qualified or not. An escalation clause is a document that states how much the buyer is willing to pay over the list price or highest other offer, up to a certain point. For both love letters and escalation clauses, many sellers are putting it in the listing whether they want to accept either. It is more encouraged to put your best offer forward, and as a real estate agent, you want to be able to present your buyer a signable offer. Monica and Dale talk about finding some “off-market” or hidden properties that aren’t in the multiple offer market. As an agent, it’s important to keep an eye out on these listings or even neighborhood apps to get a feel for what might be out there. Vendor partners can also be incredibly helpful in getting clients. For a listing agent, communication with the seller for their timeline and needs is the most important thing to establish. Pricing will be different depending on when they need to be out, their expectations, etc. It is important to set expectations and explain the value of pricing their home properly. Dale’s final word for buyers is: be patient — trust your real estate agent, be patient in the process even though it can be challenging. When it comes to pricing, it’s important to provide perspective for your clients. In the long run, sometimes the win isn’t getting the best deal, it’s getting the home that you want. Tweetables: “Really the main thing is educating them [the buyer], knowing your market, knowing your numbers, knowing your statistics, and knowing the value of pricing your homes.” — Dale “Just because it’s a crazy market, buyers do not buy just any house.” — Monica “It’s not just the price, but it’s also the strength of the offer.” — Dale “People think that high money and fast closing is the win. Sometimes fast closing isn’t the win. Sometimes slowing it down and being accommodating to what the seller needs is far more powerful.” — Dale Guest Links: Clarkcountyrealestateguide.com Real Living — The Real Estate Group Additional Links: Crdpodcast.com Online learning.REALTOR for NAR Online Education Training4RE.com — List of Classroom Courses from NAR and its affiliates CRD@REALTORS.org Host Information: Monica Neubauer Speaker/Podcaster/REALTOR® Monica@MonicaNeubauer.com MonicaNeubauer.com FranklinTNBlog.com Monica’s Facebook Page Facebook.com/FranklinMonica Additional Bio: Dale Chumbley Dale Chumbley is a second-generation REALTOR® in Vancouver, Washington who has been selling real estate since 1994.

Our guest today has been in the real estate technology industry for twenty-eight years and has even been listed on the Swanepoel “Power 200”, a list of the most influential people in real estate. Our guest today is Greg Robertson, Co-Founder of W+R Studios, the makers of the Cloud Agent Suite. In this episode, join Greg and I as we discuss how Greg's company revolutionized CMAs and the value of agents. We also dive into what Comparative Market Analysis has become over the past thirty years and Greg's newly released first book, The Art of the CMA. Top Takeaways: Greg Robertson's Advice for New Agents “Persistence, don't quit…Showing up, doing the job, and not giving up.” “You have got to have a co-founder, someone who's with you on that journey. That helps things out a lot… No road is long with the right companion.” “I just can't see a world where brokers and agents aren't needed and needed desperately.” – Greg Robertson [26:36] “The Judo Analogy is like using its own weight against itself. If Zillow is pretty close to what you think the house is worth, well use that as a factor to boaster your own thing. If it's not, show something to say well you know what in this neighborhood it's off by 10% that's why mine is too.” – Greg Robertson [30:30] Episode Highlights: [00:32] Intro [00:59] Meet Greg Robertson – Co-Founder of W+R Studios [02:05] The Differences Between Southern California and Florida [04:36] Celebrities and Tech in the Event Production Space [08:40] Bridging the Gap for Software in Real Estate [10:40] How eNeighborhoods Led to the Start of W+R Studios [17:36] Earliest Iterations of Cloud CMA [22:41] Greg's Newly Released First Book [24:46] The Value of Agents [28:44] Zillow Zestimate Judo [30:53] W+R Studios Transition to Lone Wolf Technologies [35:04] Greg's Advice for New Agents [36:35] Connect with Greg [37:09] Outro Episode Notes: Joining us today is Greg Robertson, a software entrepreneur and Co-Founder of W+R Studios, a company known for its part in revolutionizing Comparative Market Analysis, or CMA. Originally from the Seattle, Washington, Greg Robertson moved along with family to Southern California in high school where he has spent most of his life. Greg Robertson graduated from DeVry Institute of Technology receiving a Bachelor of Science in Electronic Engineering Technology. Greg started in the event production business giving him tech experience that eventually led Greg into the real estate world. Teaming up with friends, Greg Robertson founded IRIS, launching a product called, “Lightning” which facilitated in accessing different MLS systems for a real estate professional audience. The company grew and made the Inc. 500 list for fastest growing companies in the country in 1999. The company was sold at the turn of the century and Greg Robertson moved to South Florida to help restart a company as the Vice President of eNeighborhoods. After rebuilding the company, eNeighborhoods was sold and in the middle of the real estate crisis of 2008, Greg Robertson and his partner founded W+R Studios. Cloud CMA offers a trusted and professional comparative market analysis to real estate professionals and their clients. For Greg, the value of agents in the client experience and sale is crucial and necessary for the buyer experience. Tools such as Zillow are nice to get the foundation but to have a more personal experience and knowledge of the local market will always be in demand. Greg explains that the Zillow Zestimate Judo analogy is best when using it against itself. If the Zillow Zestimate is close to what the house might be worth, it can be used to help boaster a sale. If the Zillow Zestimate is off by a percentage then that can explain the price difference as well with clients. After 12 years, W+R Studios was acquired in late November by Lone Wolf Technologies.

Many people in the industry have fond and epic memories of working alongside Mark, kicking butts, taking names and having a blast along the way.

Mark has constantly reinvented himself. He has stepped through the gateways of evolution successfully, has won by helping people around him win, maintained his broad level thinking, and philosophy on personal and professional growth. What keeps Mark going isn’t just the art of evolution, it’s also understanding the underlying drive of anyone who welcomes and embraces change.

Company culture plays a big role in the success of your business. Are you creating an environment for your team that ensures they’re not only working effectively, but enjoying it as well? How can you foster a better culture for everyone involved with your business? On this episode, Lisa Archer, Chief Opportunity Officer at Live Love Homes Worldwide, shares how she has shaped her company according to the needs of her team and how it has positively impacted her business. Your business shouldn’t be centered on just you, because you can’t be everywhere. -Aaron Rian Three Things We Learned From This Episode Acknowledge failures and learn from them As much as we’d all love to be perfect all the time, the reality is we all fail at some point. Rather than trying to stop it from happening, embrace shortcomings as a learning experience. Each week, check in with your team to hear what everyone did wrong- and how they’ll avoid doing it again. Allowing flexibility in your team can have benefits for you When a member of your team relocates, why should they need to leave your team? A valued team member moving to another city, or even a whole new state, is an opportunity for expansion. If one of the people in your team will be moving, consider asking them to open an office in their new location. They don’t have to lose their job, you won’t lose a team member, and your market gets bigger. Build a great team culture If you’re going to expand your business, ensure you have great connections with your team. Even if they are in a different state, keep your relationships with them. Think of it like a family. To do this, you can organize events and team building where everyone gets to really know one another. This isn’t your average golf day team building- hire a house and create real bonds. Guest Bio Lisa is the Chief Opportunity Officer at Live Love Homes Worldwide. She has taught/spoke at Facebook, Curaytor Excellence, ReTech South, Inman News Events, Keller Williams Events among numerous other real estate events. Currently, Live Love Homes has expansion businesses in 7 markets including Charlotte & Lake Norman, NC; Dallas, TX; Louisville, KY; Birmingham, AL; Seattle, WA; Central NY & Gulf States (FL & AL).

Every expansion office is a new business and should be treated as such. Why is it so critical to expand with people you align with behaviorally? What indicators can you use to identify a good expansion partner? What are some of the key factors you need to know about a potential expansion office? On this episode, we are joined by broker, COO, coach and expansion expert Lisa Archer, to discuss lessons she’s learned from 3+ years of expansion. "You can’t manage what you don’t measure." -Lisa Archer Takeaways + Tactics - There are two reasons you fall out of business with someone: you’re either no longer on the same business plan or you have a culture issue. - Treat every expansion office like you’re starting a new business. - Always look out for people who are willing to get educated, learn and grow. At the start of the show, we talked about why it’s so important to find people who are like you when it comes to expansion, and Lisa shared the two reasons that lead to business partnerships breaking down. Next, we discussed how to attract the right people and the best ways to find them. Towards the end, Lisa spoke about why appointments are so important. Lisa also shared:- Why she doesn’t like the word “recruiting”- How to enter a new market - Her “Fail Forward Friday Call” Expanding into new territory can be complicated when people don’t have similar behavioral profiles. This can easily lead to culture issues or differing visions and plans. It becomes so much easier when you work with people who align with you. Before you enter into a new market, make sure you know the details of your own business. Every number that you track tells a story about your business, and you have to be adept at reading them. It’s also beneficial to know everything you can about the new office, nuances included. Guest Bio- Lisa is a licensed NC & SC Realtor and COO of Live Love Homes with Keller Williams.
