214: Buyer Brokerage: Preparing for Changes in The Real Estate Industry
Alright y’all, it’s time to tackle the real estate industry’s current legal battles. In this episode we are coming to you live from the news desk to give you a rundown of what is going on, what the potential fallout will be and what you can do about it now to prepare. We aren’t the ones to get overly excited and incite fear in our fellow agents, but we believe you need to know about the “bombshell” lawsuits going to trial soon and what they mean for the industry as a whole. This chat was surprisingly educational AND fun! Katy takes Alissa through Inman’s first ever commission survey that you get to answer right along with us. We get much closer to understanding what all of the possible implications are and what it means to us. Oh, and Alissa tries to help NAR with their defense. The gentle rumbles of this coming battle have turned into more of a roar as of late and we are here to help you be prepared not scared. Looking for ways to implement buyer systems after listening to the episode? Katy’s course, Agent Systems 101 is available NOW through 9/15/23 and has you covered! Check out what some of the more than 1,400 students have to say about the course and get all the details at agentsystems101.com.

212: Does Time Blocking Work for Real Estate?
The messages you hear about how you “should” be working your real estate business have some pretty hard core scheduling tips. Never miss a Monday, do your miracle mornings, ALWAYS spend 8-12 on Tuesday lead generating, etc, etc. When the real estate gurus tell you to time block and have a set schedule do you just roll your eyes? In this episode we are taking an honest look at scheduling for a real estate career plus your LIFE. Can you truly separate work life and personal or mom life? How do you take a day off? When do you get your database work done when something(or someone) is always interrupting? It’s time to tackle all things scheduling and find out if we really can navigate showings, inspections, marketing, database work, social media, groceries, doctors appointments, kid activities and more without certain burnout!

209: Insurance Struggles: The Perfect Storm
Insurance may seem like a dry topic, but truthfully a storm is brewing in the world of insurance and it will impact everyone. In this episode we interview Marc Petersen who owns American Advantage - Petersen Group, a 2nd generation independent insurance agency in Wisconsin. His agency partners with 20+ of the leading insurance companies to offer home insurance at a competitive price. American Advantage doesn't work for an insurance company, they work for their clients. That client forward attitude made Marc a great fit for answering all of our questions about the world of insurance. We are tackling the current challenges in the industry and what caused them. We are also learning all about 4 point inspections and what might cause a home to not be approved for insurance. This episode is full of information you need to be able to share with your buyers AND sellers! A big thank you to our community members and email list friends that collected insight from other insurance agents all around the country that we also shared in this episode.

208: Back on the Market
Sometimes things just don’t work out in life and in real estate. We wish every contract on our listings got to the closing table easily, but that isn’t always the case. Having a plan to handle the unfortunate circumstance of losing a contract on your listing is so important. We are chatting about what you should do as a listing agent before losing a contract to try and save the sale. If you can’t make it work and you are stuck with going “back on the market”, we are giving tips and advice to make sure you get a new buyer quickly. This episode talks about how to handle seller expectations, so you can still provide a high level of service and reach their goal of selling even in a tough situation. We are giving specific strategies for returning to market and talking about what some of the possible obstacles may be. And as always we are sharing some real life stories that will have your jaw on the floor!

206: Why Agents Get a Bad Rep
The number one mission of Hustle Humbly is to bring professionalism back to the Realtor brand. When we received a message from a local real estate investor frustrated with the behavior of multiple agents, we decided it was time for a revisit. If you haven’t listened to episode 23, make sure you do! It’s one of our favorites, “The 3 P’s of Professionalism”. So what are the behaviors that are giving all agents a bad rep? We are going to tell you! And, believe us, we wish the list were shorter. Agents advertising everywhere that they work 24/7 on one end and agents you are sure are fictitious characters since you can never find them on the other. We are tackling the tough topics of training, sharing value, and some of the industry common practices that we are ready to see hit the road permanently. Join us on our mission to improve real estate agents’ public perception by improving our professionalism. It’s time to know better so we can all do better!
