Helping Buyers Find ‘Deals’ In Todays Market
In fast moving markets like this where everything seems to be selling with multiple offers and over the asking price, it can be tricky for Buyers to get on board. If you have Buyers struggling with the market, concerned that they aren’t getting a good ‘deal’ on a house, it might be time to redefine…
Read MoreNotes From My Gratitude Journal
My guest for The 425 Show had to reschedule at the last minute this week. It’s a pretty rare occurrence, but when it does, the debate is always – to replay an episode or hop on the air and go solo. As comfortable as I’ve gotten doing the show, it’s a whole different feeling when…
Read MoreAsking For Help Makes You A Better Agent
It’s easy to confuse “being the expert” with “having all of the answers”. Yesterday I taught a class on working with Buyers to mostly new agents. Something that always comes up is: What is your value proposition when you are new? It’s a fair question, but one that we give far too much weight to.…

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks, months really. With everything that is going on, I took some time off from blogging to process it all. I don’t know about you, but it seems like each time I wrap my head around one series of events, something new happens. It’s nuts out there. Thank goodness…

This has come up twice in the last few weeks so it feels like it’s worth revisiting. We all have those moments: Maybe you’ve been super slow and are feeling like you would take any client that comes your way, just so that you can have something to do, and hopefully make some money. Or…

When they closed gyms back in March I panicked and ordered a Peloton. I’ve wanted one for a while, and this was the nudge I needed. There are lots of things I love about the bike – the classes, how easy it is to get in a great workout, and the tracking. If there was…
Read MoreStats vs Emotions, There’s a Time and Place For Both
Emotions are running at an all time high right now. We have all been profoundly affected in one way or another with what is going on. It takes daily, intentional effort not to get caught up in the doom and gloom. It’s easy to feel like the world is at a standstill as we all…
Read MoreHow Do You Plan For The Worst While Trying To Manifest The Best?
I’ve been thinking about this lot lately. I mentioned it in last week’s post too, but this is feeling a lot like 2008. Meaning sales are still happening, but not as many. My personal thought is that we need to be prepared for 4-6 months of minimal income. Even if the stay in place order…
Read MoreChanging Strategies and Other Puzzle Lessons
With the stay in place order extended to May 4th and a shift in how we are supposed to conduct real estate, things are definitely different. Your typical market strategy for April and May may not work right now. How do you shift gears with our new (hopefully temporary) normal? Here’s some puzzle wisdom that…
