Next Level Agents: The Kevin & Fred Show - Interviews with the best and brightest minds in the real estate industry

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Travis Crow and Veronica Morrow, two real estate professionals who have come together to create an amazing program for lead generation and business growth.    Not everyone in real estate is built for the grind of door knocking and cold calling. Many agents succeed doing it not because it’s their natural behavior, but because they are just hardworking and hard headed. As a result, that success weighs heavily on you because you’re doing business against your own grain.    What’s awesome about real estate (and equally challenging) is that there’s a lot of ways to do business. The key isn’t following what everyone else is doing. It’s not giving up until you find the thing you’re willing to do day in and day out.   When Travis Crow stopped trying to do business like everyone else and found his thing, his business quadrupled. Now he and coach, speaker agent and loan officer, Veronica Morrow have partnered to provide a similar solution to other real estate professionals.    Guest Info   Travis Crow is a real estate agent and co-founder of Market Master Agents, a business-in-a-box solution for real estate agents.    Veronica Morrow is a coach, trainer, speaker, real estate agent, loan officer and co-founder of Market Master Agents.    CTA ​​Please leave us a review at https://ratethispodcast.com/nla

In today’s episode, our bookkeeper, and friend , David Pittiglio returns to talk about a project he has been working on with Real Trends, the Streamlined Benchmark Report. As a bookkeeping service that serves 850 clients in real estate across the country, and across revenue brackets, David has his eyes on a lot of data that we can use to better our businesses. All that information is now being compiled into a quarterly report packed with valuable insights, and we’re going to go through some of these findings today.     David is the founder president of Streamlined Business Solutions, LLC A highly recommended, nationwide Bookkeeping, Tax and Payroll firm currently managing over 850 monthly bookkeeping clients. An amazing and talented staff of 40 continues to support our ever growing client list by providing accurate financial statements that can be utilized as a tool when operating a business. Their goal is to provide accurate information that can result in decision-based results. SBS hopes to improve the financial literacy of business owners and assist them in making business decisions based on facts, not the average daily bank balance.   When it comes to financials, so many team leaders suffer from the Fear of Finding Out. But knowing our numbers isn’t always about what’s wrong or where costs need to be cut. It can also allow us to find opportunities we otherwise wouldn’t have seen.    As entrepreneurs, we’re always tinkering with our businesses, and we need data to make the best decisions. We need to know the true amount of money we’re spending, where we can get an extra return if we spend a little more money, and how our peers are doing.    CTA   ​​Please leave us a review at https://ratethispodcast.com/nla  

In today’s episode, our favorite pilot turned team leader, turned real estate coach and entrepreneur, Nick McLean returns to the show for a third time. This time, he has a book and new real estate platform to share with us. Sitting down and writing a book is not an easy task for most people. In fact, Nick calls it the Grand Canyon of creation. The story of how the book came about is a lesson in and of itself, and along with that Nick shares what he believes it takes to survive in this market, and the new platform he’s using to help real estate teams.    Nick is an entrepreneur, coach and founder/CEO of the Nick McLean Real Estate Group, and author of Million Dollar Agent: The Proven Playbook To Build a Real Estate Empire. The former pilot uses knowledge in systems piloting and applying the same techniques he learned from the aviation industry to build a successful real estate business.    Nick McLean is an executive-level real estate broker. His team sells more than 500 homes and produces over $250,000,000 in sales volume annually. Through his years of trial and error and high-value education, he has discovered what it takes to build and maintain his position as an industry leader. He not only passes on his knowledge as an elite real estate coach with Jon Cheplak's Select Coaching, but he also provides his own team with training sessions each morning and numerous opportunities to expand their credentials and professional development. Nick McLean is also a former wildland firefighter and trained commercial Boeing 747 pilot. He prides himself on clocking out at 11 a.m. so he can be a devoted father, husband, and Competitive XC Mountain Bike Racer. Nick wrote "Million Dollar Agent" to share his business acumen with everyone. https://www.theringer.com/plain-english-with-derek-thompson-podcast   CTA ​​Please leave us a review at https://ratethispodcast.com/nla

In today’s episode, I’m excited to have my buddy and host of GSD Mode, Josh Smith back on the podcast to talk about what he’s been up to, and how he’s preparing for what’s coming in the real estate market. Josh is a brilliant marketer and entrepreneur, and he’s a huge giver to the real estate industry. After taking 8 months off and thinking of leaving real estate (he was thinking of buying a farm), he’s returned with a bigger motivation to pour gas on what he was doing in the industry. Today, he shares what this journey looked like, what he learned from walking away from other business ventures, and what he’s aiming to accomplish in this market shift.    For Josh, stepping off the hamster wheel of meetings, clients, putting out fires in the business, and getting away from the noise and having time in solitude was necessary, but uncomfortable. There are times where we need to step away from what we do so well to not just reignite our passion for it, but to land at the fact that you want to do a better version of what you’re already doing. Guest Info   Josh Smith is a Realtor, coach, serial entrepreneur and host of #1 Real Estate Podcast, GSD Mode. He is one of the top Realtors in the world along with running many other very successful companies. He has been voted the 30th Top Realtor In America By The Wall Street Journal, he’s an NAR's "30 Under 30" Finalist, and he’s also co-owner of a real estate software company "Perfect Storm". Josh successfully coaches/mentors over 1,000 Realtors yearly all over the US and Canada.   For more information, head to https://www.gsdmode.com/.  CTA   ​​Please leave us a review at https://ratethispodcast.com/nla

In today’s episode, we’re talking about our decision to join Place, the thought process behind this move, and the value proposition Place delivers to real estate teams. When you hear about Place and many top real estate teams joining it, you probably wonder why a team in a brokerage like eXp would want to bolt on this set of services to their organization. Place encompasses a lot and brings a ton of value to the table. We’re going to share why we believe in Place and the team behind it, the opportunities we’re going to create for our agents and staff, and why the whole industry needs to be paying attention to it.    We believe that it would have been irresponsible not to join Place, especially with where real estate is headed. We believe in Place’s system and what Ben Kinney and Chris Suarez are doing - it’s the right way to operate a real estate team today, and it would be hard for any team to top or even match what they are bringing to the table.   We get to latch onto something that’s already headed in the right direction, and our agents and staff are going to get the value proposition they deserve.   CTA   ​​Please leave us a review at https://ratethispodcast.com/nla

In today’s episode, I share some of my most important lessons. This was brought on by a question I was asked at a mastermind, “when you look back at your most significant losses, stupid decisions and biggest mistakes, what are the important lessons you’ve learned?”   I’m going to share some of the biggest lessons I compiled at the mastermind. They are lessons I’d like to teach younger agents and my kids because they apply to business, but also to life in general.    CTA ​​Please leave us a review at https://ratethispodcast.com/nla
