Each week I send out business tips that come from my own experiences and conversations with others. Today, I’d love to hear from you. What do you need help with? What are your stumbling blocks? What is that one thing that if you could just figure it out would make the biggest difference in your…

Are you ready when your clients say yes? I recently asked a group of agents what they bring to a listing appointment. They talked about various marketing and…
You got a new referral! You chatted on the phone, had your first meeting, everything was going great and then – nothing. Emails, cards, phone calls, none of it is getting a response. Urg!

It’s 3 am and you just realized that you forgot to call a client. You just blew it. As the pit in your stomach forms, your mind spins out of control wondering if there is any way to salvage the relationship. Or maybe… Your listing isn’t selling. Secretly you know you overpriced it, and caved…
It’s been a hot topic lately. In the mentorship group this week everyone expressed some level of frustration and downright anger at the market right now. Dealing with appraisers and low appraisals, multiple offers, clients who have lost several times, the hectic pace, etc. It’s wearing agents down, making them cranky, and affecting their business.…
As I review my 1st quarter business it reminds me of the power of accountability, and spending 30 minutes a day focused on lead generation. It is truly mind blowing. In January, while I was laid up after my foot surgery I generated 4 new listings and several new buyers. That has turned into 9…
