Episode 112: The Current Real Estate Industry Challenges and the Role of Agents With Colton Lindsay

In this week’s GRIT Podcast, Colton Lindsay, the CEO of WGR, joins Brian Charlesworth to discuss the current real estate industry and practices. Colton goes over the different economic seasons and explains the challenges faced during those times, specifically by real estate agents. 

He also provides his insights regarding the stability of the real estate market. According to him, we can experience a real estate crash if people start to lose their jobs. Moreover, he talks about the four simple steps that make anyone in real estate money. 

Colton also highlights the importance of adding value to people’s lives as that’s how relationships can be monetized. Then, moving forward, he elaborates on personal behaviors. For instance, if you’re chaotic, stressed, overwhelmed, or full of doubt, people will feel that and will not work with you. So instead, they’re going to work with the most certain person.

So, it’s crucial to invest in yourself and always be in control. This is the most skipped part in people’s lives, leading to many missed opportunities. Plus, we must be mindful that we are actually leaving the information age and moving to the influence age. And influence isn’t about information. So, you have to position yourself as a specialist with the right knowledge. That is how people will trust you.
