This is a very common misconception sellers have when listing their home for sale. Time on the market is the #1 enemy for a seller. Historically, we know the longer a home sits on the market for sale, the softer the price becomes. In this episode, I want to share one approach that's worked well for me in these situations. Should you decide to incorporate this into your business or not, the main purpose of discussing th...
I am noticing a pattern that keeps showing up lately during conversations I am having with many agents. Since this seems to be so prevalent, I thought we could talk about it today as it's likely something many of our great agents in action are experiencing. Even though a simple, and even a common topic, it's one that is (in many cases) costing you $10,000's and even $100'000's in lost income opportunity. Ultimately, this shows u...
Four Ways To Boost Confidence When Pricing Property
Typically, when preparing for a listing appointment, most agents will leave their pricing research to a desk review over their computer. If you want to outperform your competition and at the same time...dramatically boost your confidence, go the extra mile and consider implementing these steps to maximize your confidence and accuracy.

Most Realtor's suffer from the same money leaks in their business and do not even know it.
This episode of Agents in Action recap of the most common money leaks or "gaps" I noticed among the agents I have been coaching or met at speaking events this year. It was interesting to me to see these same patterns repeating themselves across the board. It was so consistent, that I wanted to go through these with...

A Behind The Scenes Look At The $40,000 For Sale By Owner System.

Whenever we get together for an episode of Agents In Action, I often ask myself "what is it I should share this time?" I have been devouring several books these past few weeks, and one of them jumped out as the obvious answer for this conversation. I realized, without one's ability to do this effectively...especially someone in sales...it can be a long uphill climb that leads to endless frustration. It's a great boo...
Let's start with a great saying a long time mentor of mine; Dr. Wayne Dyer has said so well. "Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change." From now on...in business, Oct 1 is the start of a New Year. Think regarding a 15-month business plan. Of course, everything you do will be a part of this year's ov...
In real estate, there are several ways to generate leads...some more effective than others. All approaches will usually fall into two categories. They are either proactive or passive at their basis. Proactive is defined as a person, policy, or action creating or controlling a situation by causing something to happen rather than responding to it after it has happened. Passive is defined as accepting or allowing what ...
Ten Tips When Working With Objections
1. Remember, there is a direct connection between the amount of objections you receive and the strength and quality of your presentation.

Your real estate business is built 90 days at a time. Have you ever felt like you were legitimately working and wondered why you aren't getting anywhere? Frustrated with your ability to get things rolling?
First, it's not your fault. It's likely no one has ever explained how the cycles in the real estate business work and what it is going to require of you to get traction and some business rolling. I like...
We discussed in the last episode the key to realizing high levels of achievement was having a clear understanding of what your 20% is related to your job/business. Those activities, that if not done consistently would eventually lead to you going out of business or losing your job. These are the core responsibilities that require your attention and consistent execution. Now that we've talked about (and will be working ...
Today we're going to talk about staying focused on your 20%. The 80/20 principle.

How effective is your pre-appointment routine?
I like to call this phase of the listing process "showtime."
Do you have a specific process you follow each time you get ready to head out to a listing presentation? If you don't, this means you are either winging it each time or haven't yet been introduced to this strategy as an effective way to prepare for your listing appointments...of course, ...
Tip #1 - Conduct a Consultation - For some reason, I have observed over my career - going back to 1991...most real estate agents have always approached working with buyers differently than with a seller. With a seller, we make an appointment, go out to meet the seller at their home and have a meeting - or - we refer to this as a listing presentation. However, (and I say for whatever reason) our in...
Over the years, through focused preparation and hours and hours (and even more hours) of practice...I was able to have a fairly high listing presentation to listings taken ratio. Most agents will have an average of a 25% closing rate, better than average would be 50%, and the top agents would be converting upwards of 70-80% of the appointments they go on. What is interesting here is if you take...say...10 appointment...

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
