We nearly shook our heads right off agreeing with so much of what this guest said. In today’s episode we welcome James Harris of Million Dollar Listing LA fame to the show. James’ infectious energy, propensity for hard work, and desire to give back to agents is apparent in our chat. After moving from England to California, James dove into real estate where he was truly starting from scratch. He shares with us his path to success and how he ended up on real estate reality TV for over 7 years. James and his business partner, David Parnes, have sold over 3 billion dollars in luxury real estate since 2017. Hearing his stories was truly fascinating and we loved finding out what he is doing now and where he thinks the industry is going. Don’t miss this inspiring must hear conversation with James!

There’s only one type of client that will sustain a happy, fun, and safe business long term: repeats and referrals! And there’s one system in particular that is going to organize and grow that business: your DATABASE! Yep, it’s time to revisit the foundational piece of a successful real estate business.  We are going to share how to start, grow, clean out and "touch" your database! We dive deep into the systems that we failed with and what is working for us now. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the easiest and we give you the down low on why we both ended up using a simple excel spreadsheet. Get that very spreadsheet along with all of the details on how to set-up and organize your database for FREE in module 1 of The Database Course, www.thedatabasecourse.com.    Get your FREE Database Template and all of the information on how to set it up!

It’s hard to think of anyone better to work with than yourself. 🤣 Dual agency, as it is called in many states, occurs when the same agent represents a buyer and a seller. BUT, did you know there are 8 states where that is illegal?! (Tune in to hear which ones.) Yes, representing both parties comes with a series of challenges. Good communication and a high level of ethics are required. In this episode we share our personal philosophies on dual agency as well as some of our listeners' feelings(these will have you cracking up!).  Come hear our personal experiences with this type of agency representation and find out if we would do it again.    Get your FREE Database Template!

It’s the perfect time of year for some seriously scary stories! Mean sellers, overpriced listings,  and hundreds of days on the market: OH MY! We’ve worked for hours on end and spent hundreds of dollars on marketing only to get paid nothing when a listing didn’t sell. How many times have we “failed” in our real estate careers spanning 11 and 17 years? Umm, A LOT! What’s the difference between a withdrawn and expired listing? Should you withdraw a listing before it expires? What is the most predatory and harassing behavior that occurs in our industry? Come find out all of that plus how we have dealt with unrealistic and not so nice sellers. It’s time to hear some of our scariest stories and maybe a few successes thrown in for good measure!   Get your FREE Database Template!

If you choose any personal development book to read, you should start with James Clear’s Atomic Habits! We had the pleasure of reading this book with the Hustle Humbly Community book club recently and we loved it so much we wanted to share it with you!  James is a man of our own hearts as he focuses on systems before everything else. In this book about building good habits and removing bad ones you will feel inspired and encouraged by the power of making small changes. In our chat about the book we start off with what is wrong with most business and self help books and how we liked reading this book for book club. This book is jam packed with great takeaways and AH-HA quotes! We will share with you some of our favorites even though it was hard to whittle the list down.    Doors for the Hustle Humbly Community are open now for a limited time!

Breathe in, breathe out. Ommmmmm. Close your eyes, picture yourself walking out of a closing, commission check in hand. Your client just praised what a wonderful agent you are and said they can’t wait to refer you. You turn back and give them one last hug and say you will miss them. And you actually mean it. You feel happy, fulfilled and appreciated. Now open your eyes. Did that sound like a crazy real estate fairy tale? LOL! Well, it doesn’t have to be. In today’s chat we go on a journey to find calm in our businesses, and in our lives. Welcome to the latest edition of real estate podcast therapy where we figure out how to overcome the stress that has a way of creeping into our business more than we would like.    Doors for the Hustle Humbly Community are open now for a limited time!

There is truly nothing more annoying than spam. So much so that there is federal law prohibiting it. Why on Earth would anyone want to use email as a means to market their business? What a waste of time! Umm, hardly! Over 80% of marketers use email to reach their customers and you want to know why? Because, it works! Now, we’ve seen 100’s of real estate email newsletters and let’s just say the unsubscribe button was calling our names. That’s why we are here: to make sure your people actually read and enjoy your emails and don’t send you on a one way trip to the trash bin. And, maybe, juuuuuust maybe, they will hit that reply button and start a real conversation with you.  Get your FREE Database Template!
