“Please Stop Predicting the Future”
Matt and Garrett are back with a topic that has them riled up a bit these days, as they address the risky practice of agents predicting the real estate market's future. Together, our hosts emphasize the challenges of forecasting interest rates and trends, advocating instead for a focus on present conditions and client needs. This approach, they argue, helps navigate the complex market more effectively, avoiding the pitfalls of speculation that can erode a realtor's value. Throughout their conversation, the duo critique the notion of "date the rate, marry the house," pushing for attention to clients' lifestyle goals over market predictions. They recommend presenting clients with all scenarios, enabling informed decisions based on real-time data rather than conjecture. Today’s episode serves as a clarion call for realtors to adopt a more grounded approach in their practice, encouraging them to assist clients in mapping out their dreams and making savvy choices amidst the ever-fluctuating real estate market conditions. In essence, “please stop predicting the future”. One prediction you can definitely count on is that you and your business will benefit greatly by joining the more than 15,000 other Ninjas with all levels of experience who collaborate, ask and answer questions, network, and more in the Ninja Selling Podcast group on Facebook at Ninja Selling Podcast Facebook.

Episode Highlights: The perils of real estate agents predicting future market trends The "date the rate, marry the house" concept Concentrating on clients' immediate lifestyle changes and desires Presenting clients with all possible scenarios, advocating for decisions grounded in present facts, not future uncertainties The history of interest rate forecasts Adopting a client-guided approach in decision-making Assisting clients in envisioning and achieving their dreams, focusing on current market realities Quotes: "We're walking about a 50/50 shot of being right or being a salesperson trying to encourage them to make a decision either way." "All we know is right now. And…when you want to be a true trusted advisor, your number one job is interpreting the current situation." "Ultimately, the reason why people are in front of you wanting to buy or sell now is not because of interest rates or price trends. It's because they want to make a change in their lifestyle." "Instead of trying to predict the future for your people because you want to have the answers for them, move from predicting the future to discussing and mapping the dreams.” "Sharing what economists are predicting is important, but we also need to share the reality that these predictions can often be incorrect."

Free Time vs. Fun Time
Whether you think you have too much free time or maybe too little, or if you’re not sure of the difference between free time and fun time, today’s episode is for you. Noting that many realtors value this concept of free time, Matt and Garrett are here to challenge them to rethink their approach, as together they explore the subtle distinctions between merely having time off and actively curating experiences that ignite joy and satisfaction. Along the way, they highlight that, by reframing mindsets from free time to fun time, individuals can infuse their leisure hours with purpose and enthusiasm, unlocking a wealth of possibilities for personal growth and fulfillment. Drawing from such personal anecdotes as Garrett's spontaneous birthday experience, our hosts illustrate the transformative power of intentional planning and the importance of having default plans for unexpected free time which can be as simple as diving into a good book, pursuing a hobby, or just basking by the pool. Through their trademark engaging discussions, Matt and Garrett clarify how language shapes our perception of leisure, and underscore the significance of using empowering language to frame our experiences. Do yourself a favor here today - take some free time and transform it by learning how to embrace this concept of fun time and activities that bring joy as you embark on a journey toward a more enriching and satisfying life.
