69: Don’t Jump the Gun
Boy is it easy to get excited in this business! We are so anxious to jump on that real estate roller coaster that sometimes we forget to buckle our safety harnesses. Pre-approvals, actual written offers in hand, due diligence in our client responses, well vetted offers for our sellers. So so many things can send the roller coaster off in the wrong direction taking not just you, but your client along for the ride. In today’s chat we talk about a few “case studies” and try to learn from someone else’s mistakes.

68: 2020 and Gratitude
Ok, so the first thing that comes to mind when you think of 2020 might not be gratitude, but we are not giving in to that feeling on this Thanksgiving episode. Instead, we have decided to frame our gratitude within the bounds of this sometimes crazy year. What has changed? How has that made us grateful for what we have? What happens when you strip down everything in your life and start to slowly add back in? Come join us in taking a moment to think about what we truly are grateful for.

67: Follow-up For Leads and Listings
You’ve built up quite a list of leads and taken some listings, but now what? When and how to follow up with your prospects and current clients is a skill that must be mastered. Communication truly is the key to keeping your business running smoothly and successfully. In this episode we cover how we keep in contact with our current buyers and sellers as well as how we follow-up with leads and prospects. We also go over why it is ok to let leads go and why we aren’t just trying to collect a huge list of prospects

66: The Art of Negotiation
Ok, so maybe we aren’t exactly Picassos over here, but we have successfully gotten through hundreds of real estate negotiations. This topic has been highly requested, so we decided to give it a go and tell you what works for us. We cover why mindset does affect the outcome of your negotiations and that you are negotiating from the very moment you show or list a home all the way to the closing table. Hopefully there are more than a few good takeaways that will be easy to implement immediately! And remember, there are lots and lots of books and podcasts that focus solely on the negotiation if you want to dive even deeper.
