Thought Leaders – Real Estate Re-imagined (formerly The Elevate Podcast) Back to basics: Claudio Encina on the changing market, the skills agents need right now, and how to be a hero in a time of uncertainty
Between interest rate rises and media speculation on property prices, there’s a lot of noise in the real estate market at the moment, and that’s impacting buyers, sellers and agents in equal measure.
But according to coach Claudio Encina, now is not the time for agents to be sidelined by news headlines.
Instead, it’s the opportunity to get back to basics – to focus on the five pillars of your business, create results for your clients, and provide clarity and safety for vendors and buyers navigating uncertain times.
Now is the time to be the hero, he says.
In this Elevate episode with podcast producer Cassandra Charlesworth, Claudio looks at what agents should be doing right now – in their business, their daily activities and with their mindset.
He sets out actionable strategies that every agent can take to tune out the white noise, offer incontestable value to their clients, and have the tough conversations that reap results.
Claudio looks at the skills every agent should be honing right now, how they should be shaping their day, the ways they can best manage their time, and most importantly how they can direct their energy to the essential activities that create results, no matter what market you’re operating in.
In a podcast that’s suited to top performers, established agents and newcomers alike, Claudio taps into his proven tips to boost your performance, hone your craft and provide first-class service that will see vendors choose you in a time of uncertainty.
There’s tips on mindset, time management, handling objections and more in an episode jam packed with experience, insight and actionable strategies from one of the industry’s finest coaches.
