Success as an agent begins with a perfect real estate schedule. As a real estate agent, there are a lot of demands on you, and it is NOT POSSIBLE to always put your time to its best possible use without a well-kept calendar.   In this episode of the Tom Ferry Show, I’m giving you not just an example schedule for real estate agents, but the perfect real estate schedule to feel and perform at your best – in life and your career.   Be sure to watch or listen right here and incorporate all the elements of this perfect real estate schedule into your calendar.  

There is huge opportunity out there in the market, but here’s the thing… Challenges will arise, and mistakes will happen. But the question is, are those mistakes really an issue? In this episode of Mindset Monday, I’m talking about the golden opportunity hidden inside every mistake. As you’ll see, possible mistakes are no reason not to keep charging forward.

Can you get your next 8 listings in the next 100 days by using only 2 campaigns?   Yes… Yes you can. Why am I so certain and specific about those numbers? Because I’ve seen MANY agents doing just that! It WORKS!   Those two campaigns are exactly what I’m giving you in this episode of the Tom Ferry Show! You’ll learn them in just over ten minutes, and if you follow through with running them over the next 100 days, I bet you’ll have about eight more listings under your belt.    

When two people are working the same amount of hours and achieving the same results, what’s the difference? The answer is your energy!

Buyer agency is one of the hottest topics in the real estate industry right now and with good reason. After the lawsuits that rocked our industry, agents aren’t exactly clear on what buyer concerns are or how to address them.   Well… last week I hosted what might’ve been the biggest, most epic free real estate webinar ever put out. Almost 10,000 agents from all across the country joined to hear from a huge lineup of all-star speakers, but for me, there was one presentation that really blew me away.   For this episode of the podcast, I’m sharing a segment from that webinar where Rockstar coach Kristi Jencks shares her new strategies surrounding buyer agency. It doesn’t matter whether you work with buyers or not, because what she shares here is information that everyone who works in real estate needs to know.   You’ll learn the best strategies surrounding buyer agency today, how to handle concerns and objections, how to discuss compensation, and a process for closing more buyer deals faster.   Watch or listen, right here!

Real estate gifting is not just something you do as a courtesy. It’s an art that can completely transform your business and spread your name further than you can imagine.   That’s what happened to Jay O’Brien when he got serious about the art of real estate gifting. He realized that although his reviews were all good, nothing about them stood out from the sea of sameness. It was only when he dove into gifting that his business exploded.   Gifting showed such powerful results that he teamed up with Jeff Jackel to form a company that is now the No. 1 name in real estate gifting – Client Giant.   In this episode of the podcast, I talk with Jay and Jeff about their top dos and don’ts and how to use the art of real estate gifting to generate referrals.   Watch or listen, right here!

 Thousands of agents have requested it, so here it is… The #TomFerryShow is BACK!   Although I haven’t exactly been away (I’m covering A LOT more ground than ever before), I feel more compelled than ever to reach as many real estate agents as possible and help them push forward through market challenges.  To do that, I’m jumping straight back in with episode 284 of the #TomFerryShow.    It’s the same style of direct, practical, and cutting-edge real estate advice I’ve always given but updated for the situations agents are facing in today’s market.

Building and scaling an international business is about more than just selling homes. It takes serious strategy, vision, partnerships, and, of course, marketing.   U.S.-born Nick Fong has created a wildly successful business in Mexico through a series of brilliant moves which include working with developers, generating TONS of online leads, and using AI to maximize search. He’s the No. 1 agent in all of Baja, with eight offices and 92 agents, serving a mix of clientele from all over.   In this episode of the podcast, I talk with Nick about his story of scaling an international business and how you can get started doing the same.   If you’ve ever dreamed about starting, diversifying, or scaling an international business, this is an episode you can’t afford to miss!  

Listing generation tactics are everything in your real estate business. The agent who lists is the agent who lasts, and you’re not going to get more listings without running the type of high-quality marketing that reaches and resonates with consumers.

“What are the must-have real estate videos of 2024?” That’s the big question agents are asking as we move out of the planning phase and into the action of this new year – because not everything that worked last year will hold up now.   That’s the question that Jason Pantana is answering on this first podcast episode of 2024! Jimmy Mackin and I are asking questions, dropping insights, and expanding on the strategies behind the seven must-have real estate videos for every agent in 2024.   But keep in mind, these aren’t just one-off videos that will launch you to local stardom immediately.

How can you be expected to sell more houses when each client is so hard to acquire and you have so many other things happening in your life? That’s the question that SO MANY agents are asking me because it feels like there’s just not enough time.   Meet coach Kristi Jencks… Kristi has 50 coaching clients (14 of them Team clients) whom she is helping to sell more houses right now. On top of that, she runs a small team that’s doing 150 transactions AND she’s the mother of EIGHT kids. She’s doing more than most people I can think of, but she has systems in place that ensure she’s never stressed or overwhelmed.   In this episode of the podcast, Kristi shares with me the three things she does to stay organized, help people on a massive scale, and sell more houses than some would find possible.   Watch or listen, right here.

Your 2024 real estate success will ultimately depend on the strategies you implement, the actions you take, and the habits you maintain. And for those, it’s always best to turn to a coach.   One of my favorite ways to close out the year is by having my brother, coach Patrick Ferry on the podcast to share his action steps for success.

Watch or listen now and lock in your 2024 real estate success.  

I’ve heard agents say that in-stream YouTube ads sound intimidating. For whatever reason, agents get the idea that they’re costly, time-consuming, and complicated when they’re actually completely affordable, fun, and manageable. But the best thing about in-stream YouTube ads is how effective they are at directly generating listings. Shane Burgman is back on this episode of This Week in Marketing! He’s talking with Jason Pantana about his dynamite strategy for using in-stream YouTube ads in combination with his geo farm to bring himself the status of a local listing celebrity. If YouTube ads ever seem intimidating, Shane and Jason will make them very simple for you by breaking down all the steps for running successful campaigns. Watch or listen, right here.

This year, many agents will generate fewer real estate listings than they have in the past. But the ones who do score more listings will score BIG. Those will be the agents who are running the five strategies we’re talking about here.   In this episode of the Tom Ferry Podcast Experience, I have two of the greatest minds in all of real estate marketing to talk with me about the strategies we KNOW will attract more real estate listings in 2024. Jason Pantana is the mastermind behind This Week in Marketing and MarketingPRO.

In this business, the plays you run are everything. The right real estate plays make winning easy while the wrong ones will leave you lost in the dark.   Coach Emily Terrell is an active agent who is set to sell over 50 homes this year. On top of that, she’s coaching 37 agents who are averaging about 26 transactions. And on top of that, she has a family and kids and a great life. You could say that Emily is winning in just about every department.   What do you think her secret is? Yeah… Running the real estate plays that she knows to work.   In this episode of the Tom Ferry Podcast Experience, Emily shares with me what those plays are, where everyone should start, the high-level strategy, and so much more.   This is an expert coach sharing the real estate plays that consistently make money for her and her clients.

There’s an art to leveraging Open Houses into leads. Or should I say, there’s a proven step-by-step process. But before any of that, there’s a mindset issue to address with Open Houses. Some agents will fail to get a buyer and then write the entire thing off as a waste of time, but that’s a big mistake. Your top priority is to turn that Open House into leads – ones that will continue to multiply in the future. In this episode of This Week in Marketing, Jason Pantana shows you the five steps of properly leveraging Open Houses into leads – and yes, they all start with “P.”  If you’re not hosting Open Houses or know you could be hosting more, this is an episode that’s going to get you into action.

It doesn’t matter how much you make…. Breaking poor money habits and building healthy ones is the only thing that will get you the financial freedom you want.   Money is hard to talk (or even think) about for a lot of people. It’s complicated and uncomfortable, and our spending habits often stem from our earliest experiences. But if you want to conquer any debt you may have and start saving MASSIVE amounts of money, it starts with breaking poor money habits and replacing them with wise ones.   In this episode of the Tom Ferry Podcast Experience, I’m talking with Valerie Upham and Emily Terrell, both of whom know the stress and hardship that come from massive debt. They’ll explain what it takes to break poor money habits and transform your financial future. Valerie will even take you through her journey of going from a mountain of debt to $400k in savings.   As you’ll learn, there’s hardly a point in making more money until you’re capable of spending, saving, and managing your money in the right way – so watch or listen here to learn how.

When we talk about real estate marketing channels, we’re talking about more than just one facet of your business.

This week, Jason Pantana is actually the one being interviewed – by me! We’re talking about the 5 real estate marketing channels you need to succeed and build your brand in 2024.

In this episode of Mindset Monday, I’m talking about what it is and why you need to change the way you view your contributions on social.

What is a listing chain reaction? Let me explain…   Having a listing is always a blessing, but the best thing about it is the opportunity to promote that listing in a way that attracts the attention of all the neighbors and convinces them to want the same. This is why people say that when one house sells, all the other houses on the block start selling too – because of the awesome marketing.   On this episode of This Week in Marketing, Jason Pantana shares 20 listing promotion strategies that create a listing chain reaction. Not only will more people be inspired to list their homes, but they’ll specifically be inspired to do it with YOU!   If you have a listing (or plan to), this is your opportunity to leverage it into a listing chain reaction, so watch or listen to this episode right here.   In this episode, Jason discusses… 0:00 – Creating a listing chain reaction 2:00 – Postcards 3:50 – Case studies 4:39 – Livestream walks 6:30 – CMAs to OHNs 7:28 – Text-for-info signs 8:12 – Mega Open Houses 10:14 – The right invites 11:35 – Social media documentation 12:36 – Unique apps and features 14:27 – 24/7 virtual 15:28 – In-feed & story ads 16:45 – Web page optimization 18:10 – Reviews & assets 20:10 – YouTube to buyers   And if you’re serious about crushing it on listings: -MarketingPRO: Cracking the Social Code https://www.tomferry.com/marketingpro/ -The Sales & Marketing Edge locations nearest to you https://www.tomferry.com/edge/ -Our free guide to simplifying social media https://www.tomferry.com/agent-tools/socialmedia-simplified-offer/ And don’t forget to have our latest and greatest content delivered directly to your inbox by signing up for Tom Ferry’s VIP List. https://pages.tomferry.com/free-real-estate-training-videos/  

If you’re running plays that aren’t working or justifying habits that aren’t serving you, why? The most likely explanation is confirmation bias. Your biases control the stories you tell yourself about what you can do, are willing to do, and are afraid of. In this Mindset Monday, we’re going to make a serious inquiry into what your biases are, then explore a better, truer story to tell yourself.

What comes to mind when you think of heroic action? For me, it’s Levi Rodgers. It’s not just the fact that he nearly died in combat while serving in the Green Berets. And it’s not just that he went from being a wounded veteran in a new city to running the largest real estate team it’s ever seen. What makes Levi a man of heroic action is not just one thing – it’s his lifetime dedication to acting on the largest scale possible to serve as many people as he can. In my book, that is the definition of a hero. For this episode of the podcast, I’m sharing a clip from my recent Success Summit where Levi talks about his life of heroic action. It’s a story of discipline, battle, rising and falling from the highest levels only to rise again. By the end, I don’t see how you could not be inspired to find the hero inside yourself.

Can you remember a time when your back was against the wall? We’ve all been there, but once we finally find our way out of those situations, we tend to forget about them. This is a mistake.

Have you heard the story of the greatest real estate transaction of all time? Not only is it an incredible story, but it says a lot about the kinds of opportunities you might be missing in this market.   For this episode of the podcast, I’m sharing a clip from our recent Success Summit where Greg Schwartz, the CEO of TOMO, tells you the story of the greatest estate transaction of all time, and then explains how you can use its lessons in your own business. In less than 10 minutes, you’ll get a total mindset shift on the nature of leads and learn about an opportunity to create your own listings.   If you’ve been feeling put out by this tough market, this is exactly the story you need to hear. So watch or listen now.

Real estate print marketing is getting overlooked in favor of digital channels. Now, I’m not saying that digital channels aren’t vital (they are), but if you’re not taking advantage of print, you might be missing the key to grabbing the attention and emotions of buyers and sellers. (Did you know that print mailers are SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN to cause a greater emotional response?!)   In this episode of This Week in Marketing, Jason Pantana talks with the President of Reminder Media, Luke Acree, about the underappreciated power of real estate print marketing. Jason and Luke are talking about the best high-level strategies and detailed tactics for getting more engagement from your postcards and magazines, including the best frequency for sending and how to parlay your mailers into relationships.    This episode is an absolute must-watch for any agents interested in omnichannel or real estate print marketing, so be sure to watch or listen right here.  

Want to make 2024 the best year of your life? Start by getting uncomfortable. Human beings spend a remarkable amount of time and energy attempting to avoid discomfort. But why? I’d argue that intentionally making yourself uncomfortable is the only way to break through to the results you desire, and that’s what we’re discussing in this Mindset Monday.

You may have noticed that we’ve been talking a lot about building a real estate brand on my channels. In an environment this competitive, it’s not enough to grab attention; you need to make consumers CARE about your marketing – and that’s what having a brand is all about.   The only problem is that many agents don’t understand what building a real estate brand entails. Lucky for you, for this episode of the Tom Ferry Podcast Experience, I’m sharing a clip from our recent Success Summit where I talk to the founder of 1000watt and king of real estate branding, Marc Davison.   Marc is going to take you step-by-step through the fundamentals of building a real estate brand, including: The difference between branding and marketing Why focusing on demographics distracts from the big picture How to find your brand purpose, values, and story How to grab your audience’s emotions in your marketing   This clip is essential viewing or listening for any agent interested in building a real estate brand. So be sure to check it out, right here.

Building a personal real estate brand is not about simply creating content or acting in a certain way. For Shannon Gillette, a personal real estate brand is all about telling the story of who you authentically are – and then leveraging strategic social media marketing to maximize the long-term efficiency of your content.   Sounds complicated, right? Well, it’s not when she explains it. In this episode of This Week in Marketing, Jason Pantana interviews Shannon about her unconventional path to finding and cementing her personal real estate brand within her market.

Superman isn’t coming to fix the real estate market; that’s just a fact. The only people who can fix the real estate market are informed, hard-working real estate agents and the clients they serve. And that’s not just coming from me – it’s coming from real estate legend Steve Harney, the founder of Keeping Current Matters.   For this week’s podcast, I felt the need to share a clip from my recent Success Summit that should be required viewing for every agent. Steve Harney is answering some of the most pressing questions facing our industry today, including: What’s going to happen with mortgage rates? Is the market going to crash? How can we eliminate consumer fear? What can we do to fix the real estate market? And much more.   If you want to know EXACTLY what you need to be saying to your client right now, it’s all right here in this episode of the podcast.

The agent of the future is not the agent who goes with the flow of the market – the agent of the future is the one who rises above the market when it begins to shift downwards.   History shows that when everyone else is pulling their advertising budgets, the companies who double down are the ones who shoot to the top. That means NOW is your moment to seize your marketplace and establish an undefeatable brand.   In this episode of This Week in Marketing, Jason Pantana shows you some of the most important ideas from our coaches and coaching members that will help you establish that “Agent of the Future” brand all buyers and sellers crave.   If you’re not the agent of the future, you’re the agent of the past, so I’d suggest you watch this episode now and start speeding forward.   In this episode, Jason discusses… 0:00 – Branding your ground 6:03 – Postcards  7:02 – A tip from Apple 8:30 – YT commercials 10:04 – Connect to all the senses 12:30 – Leveraging SEO and GBP --- Need more help with your real estate marketing?

We as business owners can have a funny way of viewing time. Everyone is hungry for immediate results, so we measure our potential and growth in terms of what we can accomplish in one or two years. But what if you expand your view to see further into both the past and the future? What did you build, and what are you building over time? That’s what we’re doing together on this Mindset Monday.

Marketing channels that appreciate over time are sadly overlooked by too many real estate agents. Yes, platforms like Instagram or TikTok are great, but they’re a lot like riding a bike… they’re only taking you somewhere as long as you keep pedaling.  While you should still be running with those, there are other platforms that, when leveraged in the right way, can allow your hard-made content to keep reaping benefits for months or even years to come – and I know how much care you put into your content. That’s why on this episode of This Week in Marketing, Jason Pantana shows you 10 marketing channels that appreciate in value over time. We’re thinking about the long game in this one.

I have a couple of ideas on how you’ll wish you lived, and I share them with you in this Mindset Monday.

You won’t find a more insightful real estate Q&A ANYWHERE than at the Success Summit. Thousands of agents of all different levels, from the newbies who just got their licenses to the titans running multi-million-dollar enterprises, come every year to have their most burning questions answered.   We’re now in a time where agents are confused; they’re scared and need answers more than ever.

We have real agents just like you asking the questions, and master coaches Jason Pantana and Jeff Mays giving the answers.   No matter who you are or what you’ve been struggling with, you’re not alone – and I bet you one of the agents in this segment asks something similar. So watch it through as Jason and Jeff rattle off their wisdom in this mind-blowing real estate Q&A.

The best AI tools for real estate agents aren’t always the ones you would expect. That’s because AI has not just made it easier to automate certain tasks you already do – it has opened a world for you to do things that wouldn’t have even been possible before, one where you can innovate and blow away the competition with creativity instead of just marketing dollars.   We’re in an AI world, and the agent who is ahead of the game will be the one who wins. On this episode of This Week in Marketing, Jason Pantana helps you become that creative tech powerhouse by showing you nine jaw-dropping AI tools for real estate agents. These tools will help you: Edit and format videos effortlessly Add special effects and features Automate and integrate your systems  And MUCH MUCH MORE  And these aren’t just AI tools for real estate agents – they’re for any entrepreneur looking to scale their productivity, output, and content quality. Watch or listen, right here.  

It’s not even October yet, which means that you have more than a 90-day cycle to not only finish the year strong but also set yourself up for success in the coming year. What you do right now can completely transform everything that came before it. In this Mindset Monday, I’ll tell you what it takes to finish strong.

This episode of the podcast is 25 years in the making. That’s how long I’ve known Keven Stirdivant – since he was a cocky 16-year-old kid asking for a job. Keven’s real estate journey is a crazy one, full of ups and downs, but what you’ll gain from hearing it is a crazy level of inspiration as you learn how a shift in mindset brought him to the top of his market.    You’ll hear his inspiring story of losing everything when his father went to prison, being backed into a corner when he had his first child, working his way up in my company, and starting KASE Real Estate. Keven’s real estate journey is a testament to the fact that you are not a product of your environment; you’re a product of your goals and mindset.   If you’ve just begun your own real estate journey – or even if you’re just lost in life and considering the possibility of real estate – this is an episode you need to watch.

Your weekly email newsletter is a vital component of your real estate marketing arsenal. This is the absolute No. 1 best way of putting your content in front of people week after week and keeping yourself top-of-mind with consumers.   But in order for that to happen, it has to actually make it into the inboxes of all your contacts. To ensure that happens, Jason Pantana shares his top four adjustments to your weekly email newsletter on This Week in Marketing. When you make these adjustments, you’ll not only get more people hooked on your content but also have more of them engaging with it! If you’re running a weekly email newsletter (or thinking about it) this really is a MUST-WATCH episode. Check it out here. In this episode, Jason discusses… 0:00 – No canned content 1:41 – No. 1: Scrollable 3:18 – No. 2: Clickable 6:30 – No. 3: Attributable 9:09 – No. 4: Predictable

You want change? You want a better life? Expect resistance. Better yet, plan for it, because great change does not come without resistance. In this Mindset Monday, I’ll show you how to handle the two types of resistance you need to plan for.   And if you REALLY want to create change and join a community to help you conquer every obstacle, both internal and external, I’m excited to introduce you to a new challenge all our coaching members are taking on. It’s called “100k in 100 Days,” and it’s even greater than it sounds. Because everyone who commits to transforming their business by the end of the year gains access to a playbook that Jimmy Mackin and I personally put together. Inside, you’ll find everything you need to run the campaigns, beat the resistance, and make the money you desire.   We’d love to have you on board for this. Because if you’re guaranteed to add $100,000 to your pipeline in the next three and a half months, what do you have to lose?

What are the most common real estate questions that agents ask me and my coaches?   They change every year. A large part of my job as a coach is to answer questions, so I’ve gotten into the habit of writing down every question that anyone asks me, whether it’s about the market, client interactions, today’s best marketing strategies, Ai, or anything else.   A few days before Summit, I take this list of a thousand or so questions, study it, and then synthesize it down to what people are REALLY asking. It turns out that when I boil it down, there are only really seven most common real estate questions that agents are asking.   In this clip from the recent Success Summit, I’m not only going to tell you what they are, but I’ll give you my answers to all seven of them. This is something special I felt that every agent needed to hear, so be sure to watch or listen.  

Twenty years is a lot of memories. When I look back on all that time and what it means to me, I can’t help but feel profoundly grateful. Normally on Mindset Monday, I’d give you advice or encouragement, but this week, I want to talk about what all of you in the community have given me over the last two decades.

Real estate social media video performance isn’t just about the amount of people you reach; it’s about the specific audience you want to reach. That’s why platforms like Instagram and TikTok are so valuable – because if you work the algorithms correctly, it’s possible to pump your content straight to those people in your area looking to buy or sell. To help you push your real estate video content to the right audience, Jason Pantana has three critical “S Factors” of social media video performance. In this episode of This Week in Marketing, Jason walks you through how to make your content more Searchable, Streamable, and Shareable, boosting your viewership and the engagement you get from it. Every real estate agent who is killing it on TikTok or Instagram has these S Factors locked down, whether they know it or not. So, I’d recommend you watch or listen to what Jason has to say, then watch your social media video performance skyrocket. In this episode, Jason discusses… 0:00 – Finding the right audience 2:16 – Interaction equals visibility 5:45 – Searchable 9:30 – 1-2-3-NEW 13:51 – Shareable   ------------ Interested in a FREE Coaching Consultation?

If you want to get more listings, you first need to install unstoppable confidence in your mind and your actions. You can’t instill it over time; you need to install it today.   There is a cycle that creates fearless action EVERY TIME and I’ve been using it for the past two decades. For all the real estate agents out there who want to generate more listings, make more money, and feel better about themselves, THIS is the way to do it.   In this clip from my recent Success Summit, I share with you the steps to install unstoppable confidence and the things you need to do to leverage it into taking more real estate listings.   Unstoppable confidence and more transactions start here, so watch or listen now.

When I hear real estate agents saying there are no opportunities in the market, I say that’s a self-pitying mindset. The fact is, there is a MASSIVE amount of commission dollars to be had this year. It just might not be you who gets them… unless… In this Mindset Monday, we’re going to get very clear on who is going to step up and succeed in today’s market.

It’s a fact: the recruiting practices you use when building your team will determine the quality and compatibility of the talent you attract – and therefore how much money you make. Because if real estate is all about population and growth, running a brokerage is about just one thing – having quality people to sell more houses.   Emily Kettenburg has been in real estate for 30 years, and today she’s helping thousands of teams recruit thousands of agents. Chris Giannos is the CEO of Humanize.io, and he’s created a system for helping teams recruit for the level of success he’s achieved.   On this episode of the podcast, I’m talking to these two champions of the industry about the best recruiting practices for real estate agents, how to identify talent, and the onboarding strategies that create a winning team.   If you’re running a team, this episode is essential. If you’re not yet, it’s even more important. So watch it, right here.   In this episode, we discuss… 0:00 – Get clear on your avatar 3:35 – Process for identifying talent 9:06 – Onboarding and training 12:31 – Challenges Chris & Emily faced 17:45 – About Humanize 21:36 – Best lead sources for talent 30:00 – Selling value without overselling 35:45 – Growth without attrition 41:35 – Worst recruiting mistakes 47:00 – Summing it up

If you want to succeed in your business, make money, and live the life you desire, it all comes down to the number of appointments you go on. Appointments are the lifeblood of our business. But how many conversations do you need to have to get just one appointment? Across all my clients, there’s one number that comes up, and it might be the secret to success. That’s what I’m talking about on this Mindset Monday.

Why is it that two people can enter the same career on the same trajectory and one flourishes while the other remains stagnant? It’s often a matter of exposure. One was exposed to the wisdom, guidance, or inspiration they needed, while the other was left on their own. In this episode of Mindset Monday, we’re talking about how you can get the exposure you need to charge forward.

Plainly said, Ai for real estate agents is a miracle. It’s your way of getting a lot more done in a lot less time.   Take Mark Pattison for example. He’s running a monster team (PorchLight Realty – 68 agents) while also starting a liquor brand, a coffee brand, and several other businesses. There aren’t enough hours in the day to manage everything he’s responsible for… That’s why he leverages an impressive Ai tech stack to supercharge his productivity and act as if there were several of him.   In this episode of the podcast, I talk with Mark about the best Ai for real estate agents trying to scale their businesses more efficiently. You’ll learn the applications you should be using and the best ways to use them.   The best Ai for real estate agents is just a click away. Watch or listen right here.

If you’re not taking advantage of agent-to-agent referrals, you’re missing out on a HUGE chunk of business that you could not have won any other way. You know that in real estate, relationships are everything. This is especially true when it comes to agent-to-agent referrals. So how do you find and foster these money-making agent-to-agent relationships? In this episode of This Week in Marketing, Jason Pantana shows you six channels for doing just that. He’ll help you build a network of like-minded agents who are happy to send business your way and who you can do the same for. This is how everyone wins. Just watch or listen, then start earning some agent-to-agent referrals!

It’s the 20th annual Success Summit, happening in Dallas, TX, and via Livestream, August 22-24. This year’s theme is “The Path Forward” for a reason – and it’s not about traveling that path alone. https://www.tomferry.com/summit/

Imagine if your life was so easy that you never failed at anything… Imagine that all your deals closed perfectly without any effort and you could just sustain that for years… Would you feel strong? Would you feel inspired? Challenge is a gift, and in this episode of Mindset Monday I’ll show you the mindset adjustment you need to embrace it.

You need a real estate action plan if something isn’t working in your business. Change doesn’t come from wishful thinking or running the same old plays. It comes from calculated thoughts and an intentional mindset – and that requires a plan.   In this episode of the Tom Ferry Podcast Experience, I have mega-successful team leader and coach Doug Edrington to help you build your real estate action plan for getting back on track when you feel like you’re floundering. As someone who has been in the business for 18 years and is set to do 500 transactions this year, he knows how to correct course when things go wrong.   We’re talking about some of the most important aspects of your business to focus on, the mindset adjustments that create stability, and how to get out of procrastination and into momentum.   If you’ve been running plays without results, quit it. Do this instead. Just watch or listen here and build your real estate action plan today.

Real estate Google search rankings are a lot like pursuing stardom. Sure, you can sit around hoping you get “discovered,” but those who succeed the most are almost always those who put in the work. Getting “found” and “preferred” more often by Google requires intentional effort. And in today’s episode of This Week in Marketing, Jason Pantana goes deep into the weeds with 9 Google Business Profile “cheat codes” designed to improve your real estate Google search ranking. A word of warning: The advice in this episode gets a little complex at times, but if it wasn’t worthwhile, we wouldn’t be talking about it. So if you have marketing support, a web developer you work with, or an IT person on your team, you’ll probably want to ask them to watch this with you. And then when you implement what you learned, you can watch your Google search rankings soar! In this episode, Jason discusses: 2:07 – Cheat code 1: Harnessing Categories and Services 6:52 – Cheat code 2: On-Page SEO Essentials 13:08 – Cheat code 3: Optimize Your NAP 14:20 – Cheat code 4: Including Your Location 15:20 – Cheat code 5: Establishing Location Authority 16:00 – Cheat code 6: Harmonizing External Business Listings 17:07 – Cheat code 7: Developing Service-Specific Web Pages 19:02 – Cheat code 8: Capitalizing on Keyword-Rich Reviews 21:04 - Cheat code 9: Outthinking the Search Engines to Get Found More Often ------------ Interested in a FREE Coaching Consultation?

Finding inspiration isn’t hard if you know where to look – and where to NOT look. You have to know where to go because inspiration is what will carry you through those moments when you’re not motivated and don’t know what to do. Don’t wait for it to come; go get it yourself. I’ll show you where in this Mindset Monday.

A real estate team is like a scientific chemistry experiment. You’re combining a bunch of different elements to try to create a beautiful result. But sometimes the chemicals might react in a way you didn’t expect and explode.   When this happens, your survival depends on the precautions you set in place, and that’s what we’re talking about on this episode of the Tom Ferry Podcast Experience. I have two awesome real estate team leaders Daniel Dixon and Meredith Fogle, who have been through quite a few implosions and explosions themselves – some of them intentional.   If you’re running a real estate team, this one is for you, especially if you haven’t experienced an implosion yet.

Tracking in digital marketing is changing. With privacy issues and controversies surrounding cookies and data sharing coming to the public light, a lot of marketers are learning that the tricks that worked for targeting audiences yesterday are disappearng today. On the on hand, this is a good thing for protecting our privacy. But on the other, data tracking in digital marketing is how we were able to make our content truly effective. Is there a happy medium of the two that everyone can be happy with? Jason Pantana and his guest on This Week in Marketing, Audience.co CEO Jesse Stein, say there definitely is. All you have to do is know the right strategies for navigating the landscape. In this episode, they discuss the changes to data tracking in digital marketing you need to know about and solutions for getting even better results and a more finely targeted audience.

If you’re a real estate agent who follows my channels and hears what I have to say, you know what you need to do in your business. I believe that you already know what will solve the issues you’re having. So if you KNOW what to do and nothing is happening, what’s the problem? I bet you know the answer to that too. I sure do. It’s what we’re talking about in this Mindset Monday.  

Digital real estate events are HOT right now – trust me, I do a lot of them. And one of the best things about them is that you can customize your events to suit your goals.   Mary Bartos uses digital real estate events for more than just attracting leads. In scaling her team, events have played a vital role in her recruiting process. And in this episode of the podcast, I talk with Mary about how she’s leveraging platforms like Zoom to host webinars that are pulling in both referrals and new agents, all without the hefty costs of traditional in-person events.   She’ll show you exactly what to do at every stage – pre, during, and post – of your digital real estate events. Just watch or listen, right here.  

Let’s get this straight – you’re writing your Instagram bio for generating leads. You’re not writing it for explaining yourself or being cute. As a real estate professional, your goal is to show leads who you are and position them to like you, trust you, and take the next step toward working with you.   In this episode of This Week in Marketing, Jason Pantana shows you how to craft a wildly compelling Instagram bio for generating leads. He takes you line by line through the process of structuring a bio that gets leads hooked and naturally encourages them to continue the process of making a connection with you.   With only 150 characters, every single one of them counts for generating leads. So watch or listen, right here, and start optimizing your Instagram bio.

This is the life you have. You can do anything you want with it. And if there are going to be natural struggles no matter what, why wouldn’t you go for something insanely big? There are two things that lead to a massive breakthrough. You only need one of them, and in this Mindset Monday, I’m going to show you what they are and how to create the right one.

In a low inventory market, getting the listing appointment can be almost as challenging as closing the deal. We’re in such a competitive space that real estate agents are getting shut down before they even have a chance to show what they’re capable of.   Have you reached out to a withdrawn or expired listing and heard that they’re staying put because they’re waiting for the market to change?   If you have, I’m sitting with three MEGA Rockstars who between them are set to close 500 listings by the end of this year: Scott Reynolds and his top listing agent, Kathleen Pogany, and Carolyn Young. And on this episode of the Tom Ferry Podcast Experience, they’ll show you the scripts that are working for getting the listing appointment in a super competitive environment.   A low inventory market shouldn’t stop you – it doesn’t stop them. So watch or listen right here to learn what getting the listing appointment is all about.

There are a lot of reasons to upgrade your email marketing strategy… For starters, do you know how many people use email? 4.37 BILLION. That’s how many. And 99% of them check their inboxes daily. For you, that makes email the greatest marketing opportunity of all time – but only if you know how to make each send as effective as it can possibly be. In this episode of This Week in Marketing, Jason Pantana shows you 10 genius hacks to upgrade your email marketing so that you get more views, more loyal subscribers, and ultimately more business. This is a technical episode that’s essentially a mini course in effective email marketing.

Are there things you know you should have finished but you keep putting them off? The bad news is it’s only going to get harder, because the more open loops you have, the more your performance suffers. In this Mindset Monday, I show you the first step to closing those loops. Hint: it’s a question and you may already know it, but that doesn’t make it any less powerful.

If you’re running a team or planning to, the calls you need to be making are recruiting calls. Because if you’re serious about scaling your business and serving more people, your agents are your clients – and other agents are your prospects.   Lisa Chinatti was already a super successful team leader at the beginning of this year, but something I said at our past Elite Retreat event struck her. She realized that she wasn’t immune from making her calls every day. The difference between her and her team was that she needed to be making recruiting calls. Just a few months later, she’s gone from 72 agents to 115 onboarded.   In this episode of the podcast, I talk with Lisa about why leaders need to be making recruiting calls to agents, what they should say on the phone, and what it takes to create a sustainable business in today’s market.   If you’re a team leader looking to establish a sustainable business in today’s market, what Lisa has to say is crucial to your team’s growth, so watch or listen, right here. 

Did you know that there are rules of real estate marketing? By that, I mean there is a set of principles by which marketing works to achieve its intended effect, and if you understand and follow these principles, you’re almost certain to get what you want (more leads). And if you don’t follow them? Well, I guess you could just call that experimenting. In this episode of This Week in Marketing, Jason Pantana is going to shine a light on the seven unwritten rules of real estate marketing, because once you understand them, they’re a lot easier to follow. And it’s important to keep in mind that these are the rules of REAL ESTATE marketing – not just any old type of marketing. They’re not quite the same. So, if you’re in this industry, this is a set of rules you should be living by.

As a real estate agent, getting signed contracts is the goal. Producing lots and lots of video content is the way to do it.   That’s right… Content is the key to getting signed contracts at a larger scale – not just a way of gaining popularity. To prove it, I have two Rockstar content creators, Jen Dillard and Chris Kwon, who will show you their video content strategies for attracting and closing more and more clients, even as nationwide transactions have slowed down.   If Jen and Chris don’t inspire you to quit resisting and start producing video, then I don’t know what do to for you. But if you want to know the strategies that work, watch or listen right here.  

Postcard marketing is sadly overlooked, even for agents with a geographic farm. That’s because it’s not cheap, and if you’re not doing it right, you won’t get the results you should. Eileen Rivera understands that postcard marketing is both an art and a science. And to succeed, you must understand both aspects. In this episode of This Week in Marketing, Jason Pantana talks with Eileen about how real estate agents can use postcard marketing to take their geographic farms to the next level by implementing the right tactics. Watch or listen to this episode, and then I want to see you R&D some of these postcard plays!

It’s all about the way you carry yourself – the way you move. And in this Mindset Monday, I’m going to tell you the movements that help you get your swagger back.

When the inventory is this scarce, you need to multiply every real estate listing you have. And by that, I mean leveraging one listing into opportunities for many more.   This week, I’m continuing my conversation with Jeff Mays and Jason Pantana with a hyper-focus on how to multiply every real estate listing by launching it in the right way.   To do this, we’re covering: The best time to launch a listing How to market your Open House for optimal success Turning your database into raving fans And more!   Watch or listen to this episode now, so when you get your next listing, you’re ready to multiply it into a whole bunch more.

What stops you from making videos? I’m willing to bet it’s fear of the camera.

Last year, David Schwartz and some of his friends were talking about my 30-Day Video Challenge when the idea occurred to them to take it a step further… What if they committed to shooting and posting a video every day for the next 365 days so that they could get on stage at the next Success Summit? Well, David did make it on stage at Summit, but the lasting results were more profound than he could’ve anticipated. By accepting and sticking to his own 365-day video challenge through good times and bad, David has transformed his life by boosting his confidence, getting closer to his community, and feeling a greater sense of contribution in his work. Watch my interview with David as I guest host this episode of This Week in Marketing, and afterwards think about what doing a video every day for a full year could do for you. The results might just change your life.

On this episode of Confidence & Conversion, we’re talking about your long-term lead nurturing strategy for getting more listings.

Before we end the year, I wanted to share a clip from this year’s Success Summit which shows something we’d never done before. We gathered over 80 case studies from our top clients and then boiled them down into 15 Lead Generation Playbooks, each focusing on a different lead gen pillar. And today, you’re going to get a glimpse inside the one for open houses.   In 2021, Stephanie Younger’s team held 480 open houses. 480… And they did two-million-dollars in GCI. But for Stephanie and her team, it’s not just about the number of open houses that they did, but their specific procedure for hosting every one of them. In this clip, I walk the audience through Stephanie’s playbook and show you her open house strategy.   Watch or listen to this episode and then download Stephanie’s Playbook for yourself, right here.

Marketing is a lot of work and you put a lot of work into shooting every video you put out on social. But the question is, is that video putting in as much work for you?

This is a technical, tactical deep dive into the marketing systems you need to control your market presence in 2023. So, I recommend you watch it, right here.

Do you remember when LeBron James brought the Cleveland Cavaliers a championship and soon after left them to join to Los Angeles Lakers? Imagine how much excitement and hope the city of Cleveland must have felt just before having it dashed away from them. That’s how I think real estate agents are feeling going from the market we were in to the current one. If that resonates with you, you might need someone like Alan Stein Jr. to help get your motivation back.   Alan Stein Jr. is a professional performance coach, keynote speaker, and author of the books “Raise Your Game” and “Sustain Your Game.” And with book titles like that, you can see why Alan is the kind of guy we need to listen to during times of crisis. On this episode of the Tom Ferry Podcast Experience, I spoke with him about what agents can be doing to reset their minds for assured victory and the best ways to create habits that stick permanently.   This is vital watching or listening to anyone who has ever faced a challenging time, so make sure to do that, right here.

I’m going to tell you which ones to watch out for in this Mindset Monday.

Getting a mortgage has never been a fun experience. But with interest rates currently where they are, dealing with a mortgage company isn’t something a home buyer will likely be looking forward to. This is exactly why the market needed a company like TOMO.   On this episode of the Tom Ferry Podcast Experience, I talked with the geniuses behind TOMO, Carey Armstrong and Greg Schwartz.

We’re talking about real life tragedy and how people in our industry can step up as leaders during a natural disaster or any time of crisis. My longtime friend and personal client, Mary Bartos runs a team serving the area of Southwestern Florida that was devastated by Hurricane Ian. Ten percent of her market, over 45,000 homes, were either damaged or destroyed, leaving the entire community shellshocked and with nowhere to turn for answers. I spoke to Mary about how she and her team stepped up to help the people of her community when they needed her most and what anyone could do to be a leader through the darkest of times. With the economy we’re facing at this moment, you don’t need a natural disaster to follow Mary’s example of exceptional leadership. So, check out this episode, right here.

It’s about having people believe they see you everywhere, as if you’re already a part of their lives. And that takes multi-channel marketing. On This Week in Marketing, Jason Pantana interviews Krista Farr of the Farr Group Northwest out of Spokane, WA. Krista’s multi-channel marketing approach is about more than just getting their brand everywhere; it’s about strengthening the brand so that it seeps into the collective minds of her marketplace, because as Krista will tell you, social media alone isn’t good enough. If you’re looking for a way to build an unstoppable brand that continues to drive numbers, even in hard markets, you need to hear Krista’s multi-channel marketing strategy. And you can do that, right here.

Right now, every real estate agent in the country is asking two big questions: Where is the 2023 housing market headed and how can they prepare themselves for it? But the thing about these questions is that not everyone is going to agree on the answers.   Someone like entrepreneur and noted business personality Patrick Bet-David predicts a very different future for the 2023 housing market than myself and David Childers of Keeping Current Matters. But instead of arguing about it, we’re willing to hear each other out, pull up the datapoints, and try to find some common ground so that we can get to the bottom of what everyone wants to know.   On this episode of the Tom Ferry Podcast Experience, David, Patrick, and I dig in to where the real estate market is headed in 2023 and what smart agents can do to prepare for it. If you’re a real estate agent who works in the U.S., this is an episode you need to see.

This is what the top 5% of successful people do, so be sure to watch now.

Dave Archuletta is a farmer in Rancho Mission Viejo who got his license less than three years ago in January of 2020 (right before COVID hit). But in such a short amount of time, Dave is already on track to do 80 million in volume by the end of the year, by himself. And the kicker is that he never asks for business. How? By hosting fun community events that bring people together. In this episode of This Week in Marketing, Jason Pantana interviews Dave about what it takes to throw community events which will get everyone in your area to know, like, and trust you. You’ll learn how to grow clubs and leagues from the ground up, align your events with your values, and generate business without ever needing to ask for it.

In a market like the one we’re facing right now, a lot of our mental energy is spent focusing on how to make more money. But this week of all weeks, there is an incredible opportunity to remember our most important reason for succeeding – to support the people with love. On this podcast, I’m going to give you three questions for you to think on yourself and bring up at the dinner table that will help with cultivating gratitude on a deeper level.   I’m not going to take up much of your time, but these six minutes are well worth a watch before getting together with those you love.   Oh, and after you watch… I’ll make it easy for you to get your gift by putting the email here.

But did you know that there is scientific evidence which proves that visualizing success can improve your performance? In this Mindset Monday I’m going to tell you about a study that just might change you way you choose to see yourself performing in your mind.  

As the number of working agents continues to rise and the transaction count drops nationally, we’re seeing a tighter and tighter squeeze in the marketplace. This is a time when the amount of real estate lead sources you have is more important than ever. Because you’re going to need a lot more to continue generating the same amount of business. That’s why on This Week in Marketing, Jason Pantana is going to give you seven sources of what he calls “easy leads.” These are sources that are easy to use and expand your chances of attracting clients from every angle possible. There are real estate lead sources in here that you may not have even thought about, so it’d be in your best interest to watch or listen to this episode now – because other agents will…

On this episode of the Tom Ferry Podcast Experience, I’m talking with a Jamie McMartin and her husband Nate who run a wildly profitable and rapidly growing team in Katy, TX.  And by rapidly growing, I mean they plan to hire 48 agents in a single year! But if this seems overly ambitious, Jamie and Nate will show you what’s possible with a limitless mindset.   They took me through the journey of how they got started in 2006, learned everything the hard way, and used the ‘08 market crash to grow their mindsets beyond what they could’ve believed before. This is an episode that will resonate with any real estate agents out there who feel like they’re drowning in this confusing time.   So, unless your mindset and your systems are already completely perfect, this is one to watch or listen to now.

This week on Team Builders, I’m speaking with two co-CEOs who run a beast of a team (30 agents and five support staff) comprised ONLY of experienced, senior agents. Scott Pridemore and Mike Hege of Charlotte, NC are expert leaders with different but complementary skillsets. This makes them ideal co-CEOs for running such a unique team model, which just continues expanding and absorbing other teams on a massive scale. You’ll get the inside guidance of hiring and acquiring senior agents and businesses and how to lead a team of leaders. If you’re interested is sharing the reins with a trusted partner to scale your business into an empire, I recommend you check this episode out, right now.

When attempting to obtain a result that you haven’t been able to achieve, have you ever slowed down enough to look inward? The way you think determines the results you can achieve. But the question is, how can you change the way you think using the thoughts you have now? Well, that’s what I’m going to show you in this Mindset Monday.

Something that Jason Pantana has heard often in his coaching calls with new clients is that they struggle to define “success” with social media marketing. So many agents believe that if they’re not famous on social that their marketing isn’t working. But that mindset makes it very difficult to use social media in the right way. Just look at Long Beach, CA’s Paige Fingerhut Charnick, who has 2,000 Instagram followers who all know, like, and trust her. She’s managed to build this following by what she calls, “Going back to the basics.” But “basics” for Paige are a lot different than they would be for many agents out there. In this episode of This Week in Marketing, Jason interviews Paige about her simple but far from “basic” social media strategy. You’ll learn that focusing on the followers that you already have might just be more profitable than playing to a massive audience. Make sure to watch or listen, right here!

As the market continues to shift backwards, most agents seem to be hitting a wall. So how are some, like Laguna Beach luxury real estate agent Meital Taub, not just thriving but actually DOUBLING their business over last year? For Meital, who is on track to do $100mil more in volume over last year, it’s a matter of discipline and habits. In this episode of Luxury Code, I spoke with Meital about what agents need to be doing to beat the market and double their volume even in the most difficult times. She talks about the discipline she developed in the Israeli Air Force, the daily habits that keep her mindset strong, and the first moves that agents can make to break into luxury real estate. This episode is a wakeup call to what is possible when you run the plays that work, so be sure to watch or listen, now! In this episode, we discuss… 0:55 – Why Meital’s winning 3:30 – Meital’s background 5:40 – Going int real estate 8:15 – Getting habits right 12:13 – Habits over time 14:45 – Marketing that works 18:40 – Buyer demand 20:55 – Helping deal hungry buyers 23:40 – First 5 luxury moves 26:16 – Opens houses at scale

If you’ve hit a wall in your business and are considering giving up, you need to hear the story of Alex Jordan, Queensland, Australia’s No. 1 agent. Alex started in real estate in 1999 but his career didn’t really take off until 2011 when he found a way to break past his barriers by building credibility through finding his specialty.   In this episode of the Tom Ferry Podcast Experience, I spoke with Alex about the challenges he faced early in his career, the moment his mindset turned around, the essential tactics of building credibility and profile. This is a hugely inspiring episode that will show you how to turn a breakdown into a breakthrough.   Make sure to watch or listen, right here!

You’ve probably heard the saying that it doesn’t matter what day you were born or what day you die – it’s the dash in the middle that matters. That’s the story of who you were. So how do you create your ideal self and write your story your way? It starts with asking yourself five questions that my mentor asked me which totally changed my life. And in this Mindset Monday, I give them to you.

Why is it so important to have a lead nurturing strategy? Because 73% of leads across all industries are not ready to act when you get them.

If you have names in your CRM, phone contacts, or on social media (which you DO), this is an episode you need to watch or listen to.  

What are the keys to optimizing human potential and how can we apply them to our own lives? Brian Ferguson defines human potential as the arch of who we have the potential to be over the course of our lives. And he says the key to reaching the peak of this arch is through performance – the way we operate day in and day out.   Brian is a former Navy SEAL and the CEO of Arena Labs, a company focused on performance medicine to help doctors and nurses manage stress and regenerate more effectively from rest. He’s on a mission to cure the burnout plaguing high achievers, and his methods apply to any busy professional, even those in…. say… real estate!   Me and my good friend Ellie Yacoel spoke with Brian about the keys to getting upstream of burnout and optimizing your human potential so that you can achieve more while actually enjoying your life. The first step is watching this episode, so be sure to do so now!

There are so many options, and someone is always inventing a new and better way to do it. Well, this week I have a great one for you. Matthew Miller is one of four partners who run Fair Trade Real Estate, a business that buys homes to sell to investors in Southern California.

As we prepare ourselves for the year ahead, one of the most important questions we can ask is, “What are the most important marketing channels of 2023?” Because now is the time when we need to cut the things that aren’t working for us, zone in on where the trends are headed, and build a plan that will guide us no matter what may happen.

Roughly 71% of business is conducted by the top 26% of agents, leaving those other 74% to fight over the small about of business left over. That said, it might look like now isn’t a great time for new real estate agents. But not so fast… There’s still opportunity out there if you know what to do, and that’s what this episode of The Tom Ferry Podcast Experience is all about.   I brought in one of the most qualified agents and entrepreneurs I know, the co-founder of Broke Agent Media and a leader of the No. 1 highest transaction team in Connecticut, Byron Lazine, to help me compile a master list of truly effective plays for new real estate agents and anyone who might be struggling.   We each brought our own lists of best new agent strategies to the table, and what you’re about to get in this episode is the combination of both.

How long do you plan to be in this business? Your goals are completely up to you, but I always recommend that you plan to be in real estate for at least ten years, because that’s the amount of time it takes to actually build something. And building something truly special requires having a 10-year vision.   On today’s podcast, I want to talk about your 10-year vision. No matter how long you’ve been in real estate, we’re going to look at 2023 to 2033 and see what practices you need to start putting in place right now.

When we talk about mental resistance, we often bring up the struggle between our conscious and our unconscious minds. They both have their uses to us, but they also both have their drawbacks. So when I face resistance, I think of all the time I spent with David Goggins and the lessons he taught me – which I’m about to share with you in this video. 

What does company culture actually mean, why do you need it, and how do you create it? Whether you’re making your first hires, running a small SEAL team, or managing a mega organization, culture may be the single most important aspect of a healthy business.   To get to the bottom of what creates a winning culture, I turned to award-winning Human Resources advisor and CEO of Gameday HR, Katrina Ghazarian. Katrina and I sat down to discuss everything from compliance to acquisition and retention, developing your value system, and just about everything else it takes to build a great workplace.   If you’re interested in not just growing your business (no matter what business you’re in!) but doing it in a way that’s best for everyone in the long-run, this is a “must-watch” episode.   And after you watch, you’re going want to learn more at gamedayhr.com  

This week on Team Builders I’m talking with the great and powerful Jim Allen of Raleigh, NC, about something that every person working in real estate is going to want to hear – how to manage every transaction with your team so that everyone makes the most money possible, even your clients. Jim has a unique business model which includes forming long-term friendships with all of his clients, maximizing the profit for every one of his team members, and investing in properties with his agents (that they earn a commission on when he flips). In this 37-minute episode, Jim is going to show you how to be the real estate leader that every person in your community needs. So, I seriously suggest you watch or listen, right now.

We all want to make others feel good, don’t we? When you’re around someone, you want that person to feel enthused, happy, and inspired. But the energy you put out is a direct reflection of the energy you consume. So, what are you consuming? If it’s what you’re about to hear me talk about in this brief video, maybe it’s time for some cleansing to set your energy right.

Creating wildly successful social media videos as a real estate agent doesn’t have to be hard. Actually, keeping it simple and honest might just be the best way to build a passionate and engaged following. It certainly does for Winnipeg super-agent Nicole Hacault, who sold 170 houses last year with just one other agent. In this episode of This Week in Marketing, Jason Pantana talked with Nicole about her strategy for creating authentic, human-focused video that gets people excited to work with her. If real estate video has ever seemed like something complicated or difficult to you, this is an episode you need to watch or listen to.  

Being a real estate agent is only getting harder. If you want to generate the business that you deserve and beat the competition, you need to be the best real estate agent in your market. But who decides who the best agent is in any market?   Google. That’s who.   In this clip from a previous Success Summit, I walked the crowd through the Search issues that agents are facing today and then gave them the advanced Google techniques that every agent needs to rank above the rest.   If you’re looking for a consistent stream of inbound leads, you need to watch or listen to this as soon as possible. And if not, then what are you even doing?

Marketing channels create opportunity. But if you want to take advantage of those powerful business opportunities, you also need systems, because that’s where the action happens. On this episode of This Week in Marketing, Jason Pantana is talking about the top digital marketing systems for real estate agents. People are always crediting systems as the path to success, but almost no one ever goes into detail about what they are and how to create them. Lucky for you, Jason is going to cover what they are, why they’re important, the tools you need, and then give you a complete run down on how to incorporate each system into your digital marketing. This gets a little technical, so you’re going to want to watch it through a few times, but these systems are absolutely essential to truly massive growth. You can’t afford to not watch or listen, right now.

Are you feeling tired, exhausted, burned out in your real estate business? If you are, it isn’t because you’re not cut-out for it – it’s because you’re stuck in the wrong kind of pattern. What I’m going to share with you today is the best possible way to identify and break that pattern and step into real estate mastery! In this clip from a previous Summit, I’m going to explain to you what I call the Six Phases of Real Estate Mastery. And yes, this topic is just as powerful as it sounds.

But if you want to move forward, you have to wake up, and this takes interrupting the pattern. Watch or listen to my advice for identifying the areas of your life that need a little shaking up, right here.

Too many agents use video as just an extra marketing channel. But then there are the agents who base their entire business model on video-first marketing – agents like Gia Silva. Gia proves that video is potentially the only marketing source you need, and all it takes is centering your operations around it. In this episode of This Week in Marketing, Jason Pantana talked with Gia about what it takes to operationalize your video creation, draw an audience who are going to resonate with your content, and discover the right filmmaker to elevate your style. If you’re a real estate agent who shoots video (which you are because you’re smart), you’ll watch or listen, right now.

On my podcasts I’m normally talking with some of the biggest, most successful names in real estate. But this week, I want you to hear from some new agents who are absolutely crushing it, right now. These three Rockstars have each been in the business for less than five years and are a testament to what can be accomplished in a short amount of time.   In this clip from last month’s Success Summit, you’re going to hear from Megan Faber (four years in the business), Kennon Maurer (three years), and Vincent Kessel (12 months and only 20 years old!), who are all guaranteed to inspire you.   This panel isn’t just for new agents look to make a start; it’s for agents of any experience level who need a reminder of the hunger and tenacity it takes to live your best life. So, no matter who you are, you must watch or listen.   And after you do, make sure to follow these three across their social channels and reach out to show your support.

No matter the size of your city, even if you’re trying to just attract people who live in your own neighborhood, the odds are that those people will still find your business online.

This one’s important, so you can’t afford to not watch or listen, right now!

This week, I’m sharing something really special – three ladies who are going to show you how to dominate your listing game – along with their stories almost a year in the making.   At the 2021 Success Summit, I made a bet with two women (Sandee Payne and Dee Martin) that they couldn’t each double their number of listings taken between then and last month’s 2022 Summit.   You’re about to watch a clip from Summit where Sandee, Dee, and the listing queen of Oklahoma, Edna Kimble (176 taken just last year) are going to show you exactly how to double your listings from Summit to Summit.   I might’ve made a bet with them, but as you’ll see, what really made the difference was how they bet on themselves. So, watch or listen, and then make the bet, now.   

Toronto couple Jeff and Liz Johnson are a super team. They’ve been married for 23 years, have 22 agents, 9 business staff, and practically NO TURNOVER. And that’s because to Jeff and Liz, their team is a part of their family. Real estate is a high-turnover business, especially when you’re scaling a team, and that’s why I had to talk to the Johnsons about how they keep their people so happy. We talked about the essential roles to hire for, creating personalized 90-day plans for each agent, and serving your agents with the same level of service you’d give your clients. This episode is sure to not only give you some best practices for scaling, but also leave you with a smile, so make sure to watch or listen, now.

When you look across social media platforms – Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook – there seems to be one direction they’re all trending…. VERTICAL! If you’re not shooting vertical video, you need to start. But it’s not as simple as just turning your phone when you’re shooting.

That’s why on today’s This Week in Marketing, Jason Pantana is going to be your guide to vertical video! Make sure to watch or listen, and as always, make sure to leave a comment.

Stepping into a luxury real estate requires stepping into a higher level of confidence – confidence to hang out in elite circles and practically demand referrals. But what does it take to reach this confidence? To answer this question, I spoke with Manhattan luxury superstar Jay Glazer. Jay will tell you that with the right recreational interests and impressive array of customer services, confidence is practically inevitable.

Making money and growing your professional success are important, but they’re not a surefire way to achieve happiness. Happiness and success both come from the same place – a healthy brain. Our brain health is the foundation of everything we do, because when you love on your brain, you’ll love your life.   Dr. Daniel Amen is one of the leading psychiatrists in the country and author of over 40 books (yeah, you read that correctly). I sat down with Dr. Amen to discuss his new book, “You, Happier” and all things you should be doing to feel and perform your best in life and business.   You can’t afford to miss this message, so make sure you watch or listen a few times.

What happens when you realize that you’re running out of time? And I mean in your life… The minutes are ticking down whether you’re moving forward or not. So, what can you do about it?

What is stopping people from making video for social media? A lot of people say they don’t know what to say on camera. But LA Rockstar agent Taya DiCarlo will tell you that all you need is a hook and an opinion. Some will say it doesn’t seem like it’s worth their time. Taya will say it’s worth $25 million in agent-to-agent referrals in just a year. There are no excuses, and to prove this point, Jason Pantana talked with Taya about everything you need to start doing video and why you need to start right now. All it takes is a hook and an opinion, and they can help you find the hook – all you need to bring is the opinion. Make sure to watch this one, because it just might change the way you think about producing content.

We all have a ton of ideas. And ideas are great… unless you fail to execute on any of them. I want to talk to you about the disconnect between what gets your brain moving around in open loops and what gets it moving forward, because an idea doesn’t mean anything without the commitment to pull it off. So, make sure you watch or listen, and let’s start closing the loops

It helps to have friends in the business, especially when it comes to generating agent-to-agent referrals. Networking with other agents can easily become one of your most valuable lead sources – if done correctly. But what can you do to not only meet the right people, but also show them that their referrals will being going into the right hands? It’s a daunting process, but Jason Pantana is here to give you six awesome ideas to help find, connect, and build strong professional friendships with agents throughout the country. With Summit coming up just… TOMORROW! Wow, that came quick, didn’t it?! Yeah, it’s time to get your referral game on… so make sure to watch or listen to this one to get ready.

You’ve heard me talk a lot about “Know, Like, and Trust.” And yet, too many agents spend too much time developing trust only to throw it away once the transaction is over. But when you maintain and nurture that trust beyond the closing table, you get something even more valuable – loyalty.   This week, I’m going to show you a clip from a past Summit in which I talk about what you need to be doing to inspire loyalty from your past clients, generate referrals, and grow your credibility in your marketplace.   Keep in mind that this year’s Summit is less than a week away, so make sure you watch this clip and then get your tickets today!

We can never anticipate what’s going to come up in our lives. But if we have the foresight to nurture our team culture, collaboration, and support, we can create a team of leaders who will stand by us through our hardest times. Brandi Laffins always strove to make the top transactions for her team, but when unforeseen circumstances came her way, the supportive culture she’d fostered allowed her to step back and focus on what really mattered. I spoke with Brandi about what it takes to lift up new agents and turn every team member into a team leader. You’ll also get some awesome advice on doing television ads and marketing campaigns. Definitely make sure to check this one out! P.S. Brandi’s husband RJ is an awesome DJ, and I highly recommend you check out his stuff, here. I’ve been jamming it all morning!

Are you doing well? Or are you doing great? Be honest about that question. Because too often do I hear people saying that they’re doing “well enough.” But I dare to say that “well enough” isn’t “enough” at all. This is your life. And I’m going to challenge you to live it more fully. Watch now, right here.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just focus on working with clients instead of finding them? Well, that’s what happens when you automate your marketing! A lot of people think that truly automated marketing is something reserved for massive corporations with big budgets and access to fancy services, but Jason Pantana is about to show you that’s just simply not true. Jason is going to give you 10 ideas to start automating the easy way, so you can focus on the things you do best. Ready to attract more clients and actually have the time to serve them? Then make sure to watch, right here.

What does it take to build a MASSIVE social media following, create consistent inbound luxury business, and never miss an important family moment? The answer… Delegating tasks so you can focus on what really matters. For a long time, Shannon Gillette thought she could do everything by herself – because she actually could! But with a little push from her coach, she managed to find the exact type of assistance she needed to skyrocket her business.   Today, she’s selling more houses (in a higher price range), working less, and feeling better than ever. You’re not going to want to miss my talk with Shannon, where she shares her journey of rising to YouTube stardom, training her VAs, and building a perfect business. And if you’re joining me at Summit, either in-person or virtually, you’ll get access to Shannon’s full listing strategy playbook for YouTube, so you can R&D the exact plays of a social media master! In this episode, we discuss… 1:40 – About Shannon 3:15 – Competitive changes 5:15 – Never miss a homerun 6:20 – First step if you’re struggling 7:58 – Transferring skills to your VA 10:04 – All in on YouTube 12:19 – Creating your own video path 15:05 – Getting more views 17:36 – Transaction management team 20:24 – Time spent creating content 22:08 – Managing all the Instagram DMs 25:05 – Get out of the “listing only” mindset

Whether it’s a recession or a shift in the market, what does it take to display remarkable leadership during crisis?   It’s hard to think of a better person to answer this question than Michael Hickman. Mike is an absolute titan of real estate. As the CEO of Seven Gables Real Estate, he manages 437 agents over six offices and has seven other business on top of that.   This week, I spoke with Mike about what it takes to be the leader that people need during difficult times. He walked me through his journey into real estate, how he executes decisions with confidence, and how to get through a market crisis with absolutely no layoffs.   If you or anyone you know wants to step into leadership on a top-level, this is the show you need to watch, right now.

What is your best possible source for generating business? I’ve been saying for a long while that it’s your database and sphere of influence, and a new report from the Nation Association of Realtors seems to prove that I’ve been right all along! Yes, your database and SOI is incredibly important… But how do you effectively market effectively to them over time? You need to have a PLAN. And a plan is exactly what Jason Pantana is going to give you. He’s going to tell you exactly what you need to be doing on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual basis. You’re not going to want to miss Jason’s brilliant advice, so make sure you watch or listen, now!

If we’re looking to move the needle forward, where do we start? That’s a question, isn’t it? So, let’s start there. You know that I always say you need to run plays that work. And every play begins with a question. So, are you asking the right questions? Find out, right here.

As the market adjusts, what are the conversations you need to be having with your buyers and sellers? Ideally, you will set realistic expectations, make them feel comfortable moving forward, and have plenty of “mic drop” moments that confirm your value. If you’re looking for all this and more, you need to watch this conversation I had with Phil Gerdes. If you don’t already know Phil from his hugely successful YouTube show “Rated PG,” you’ll know him after this as the guy who gave you some of the most effective words and phrases in your playbook. This episode is only fifteen minutes, but you’re going to want to take notes – I sure did ;) In this episode, we discuss… 1:08 – Understanding nuances 2:03 – Instead of CMAs… 3:25 – God property investors 5:33 – Establishing next events    8:38 – Pipedream pricing 10:00 – The 3 types of home value 11:47 – Conversation for buyers 14:30 – Follow Phil!

Some agents may feel today’s podcast guest is trying to take their job away. And we discuss that. But the way I see it, Jarred Kessler is an innovating entrepreneur pushing our industry forward.   And you can learn from his example.   As the founder of EasyKnock, a company that allows people to convert their home equity to cash without going through a bank, Jarred is helping not only homeowners but agents as well.   This week, I spoke with Jarred about what it’s like to be the CEO of a real estate startup, the pivots to make during a recession, and his vision of the future.   If you’ve ever been interested in founding a startup or just want to understand the changing real estate landscape, make sure to watch or listen to this episode, right here.

You know all about geographic farming, but what does it take to lead a successful geographic farming team? If you ask Lisa Doyle, she’d say it comes down to organization, discipline, and team structure. I talked with Lisa about the dynamics of geographic farming as a team effort, finding the right person to get you organized, and always choosing your hard. Lisa even shares her advice for doorknocking luxury homes which shows shocking results. Make sure to watch or listen to this episode, and if you like what Lisa has to say, you’ll have a chance to meet her at next month’s Success Summit, where she’ll be sitting in the front row and continuing to network her way to the tippy-top.

I always say that difficult economies make the best agents. But what does this economy mean for you? Is it a story that you’re living in or part of a story you’re writing for yourself? This is a moment that will be gone before you know it, so watch this and decide what story you want to tell. 

What does it take to successfully build your brand and generate referrals using social media video? It does take time, but when you do it the right way, it doesn’t have to take a lot of stress. Video should be fun, collaborative, and a personal dialogue between you and your clients. If you’re looking for an example, you need to check out Miami super-agent, Luz Abreu. This week, Jason Pantana spoke with Luz about what it takes to make the kind of truly authentic video that can generate referrals. No matter what stage of you’re at with your social media video, this is an episode you can’t afford to miss, so watch or listen, now!

If you haven’t heard the name Betty Graham, you need to brush up on your real estate history. For years she ran the world’s No. 1 luxury real estate office, Coldwell Banker Global Luxury, where she managed thousands of the highest producing agents in the business. This week, I’m honored to be talking with Betty about how she got started, her journey to the top, and her advice for every agent out there, whether they are running mega teams or just getting started. No matter what your goals are, Betty’s advice is sure to help you get there, so take my word for it and watch or listen, right now.  

This week, we’re going to take another dive back to last year’s Success Summit to talk about something that has only gotten more important since then – building a team.   Right now, the market demands more of you then you can possibly manage alone, so why do so many agents continue to struggle when the solution is right in front of them? You’re not going to want to miss this segment where I lay out the basics of what you need out of a team and the easiest (and cheapest) ways to get started.   And if this resonates with you (which, unless you already have a team, it should), you can’t afford to miss this this year’s Summit in Dallas, now less than a month away. Get your tickets, either virtual or in person, today.

Ever got news that throws you off your game at a critical moment? I have. And it sucks. But you’ve gotta pull yourself up and power through. Let me share with you how I handle this situation.

Social media features are always evolving. TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube… If you keep using these platforms the same way you have been for years, you may not even be taking advantage of them at all. That’s why this week, Jason Pantana is going to walk you through all the new (and even some yet unreleased) features and updates for the big 4 social media platforms. You’ll learn how to use TikTok like a natural, get the most out of Instagram, and impress all those people who though they were the social media experts. This is stuff you need to know, and it’s going to make your time spent on social a heck of a lot more fun, so don’t hesitate to watch, right now.

With this year’s Success Summit right around the corner, I want to take a look back to last year’s.   But first, I have a question. Do you own investment properties? And if you don’t, why not?   It doesn’t matter how old you are or what’s going on in the market, because when done correctly, the best time to invest is almost always right now. To prove this, check out my panel with Deborah Bly and Eric Eickhof. Deb began investing in her 50s and is already sitting on $3 million in equity. Eric was only 19 when he bought his first unit and now has over 670!   In this clip, Deb and Eric are going to show you that it doesn’t take a large upfront investment when you have the right formula.   Make sure to watch or listen. And if you’re one of the few people who will actually take immediate action on this advice, don’t miss your chance to sign up for next month’s Summit, either virtually or in-person, where we’ll be sharing the latest strategies for intelligent investing in our current market.

The market is shifting. “Recession” talk is everywhere you look. But the question is, what can you do to turn this obstacle into an opportunity for your real estate team? It starts with being the “play-caller” that your agents trust. Stephanie Younger has seen a few market shifts over the last 20 years, and during each one she’s continued to refine her playbook while expanding her team. I sat down with Stephanie to discuss what it takes to be a great leader in today’s market, the conversations you need to be having with your agents, and the conversations they need to be having with their clients. Watch this episode a few times until you have Stephanie’s scripts memorized. And if you like what she has to say, make sure to join us at next month’s Success Summit, where you’ll get Stephanie’s full “Lead Generation Playbook” for open houses, featuring her signature scripts and checklists which make the difference every time. There are still virtual and in-person tickets available, so don’t miss this opportunity!

Have you ever seen a fly banging itself against a windowpane? The fly believes that if it just keeps going, just bumps hard enough, it’ll get through. But you know that won’t happen… So why do we mimic this same strategy in our own lives? When we’re trying as hard as we can and are efforts aren’t working, what can we do? Find out, right here.  

So, you’ve made a great video, posted it to social, and it’s gotten some views. That’s great, right?! Well… not so fast. How is the engagement on that post? Are people liking, subscribing, and commenting? Because if not, that post is dead in the water. When it comes to social media, ANY social media, we need to play to the algorithm and that means this: Interaction = Visibility. And interaction comes down to three “Ps” that you need to always be thinking about on social. Jason Pantana is going to walk you through what they are, why they matter, and how you can take advantage of them. Working the algorithm is the foundation of the game, so make sure that you watch or listen to this one first, and afterwards, check out this episode if you haven’t already, to see what kind of content you want to be using.

Have you ever felt like you were stuck with a certain number of Instagram followers and couldn’t move beyond? It’s kinda a big deal, because a steady rate of growth shows the world you’re an account worth following – and an agent worth working with. So how do you get unstuck? Jason Pantana knows just the way, and this week he’s going to give you three tips to ride the Instagram algorithm to massive exposure. If you’re looking to grow a following that will keep generating business even in today’s shifting market, this is the episode you need to watch. Make sure to check it out, now! Also… Be sure to attend Success Summit either in-person or virtually to gain access to a comprehensive Instagram Reels “Lead Generation Playbook” from an agent who’s killing it on Instagram in Las Vegas.

When it comes to real estate scripts, one size does NOT fit all. There are so many different prospecting situations you might find yourself in that one script just won’t cut it. You need winning real estate scripts for any occasion, and for that I know just the person to go to. Stephanie Younger is a $400-million producer whose team has already done a whopping 172 transactions so far this year. I sat down with Stephanie to role-play her proven scripts for four distinct situations – charity and networking events, open houses, door knocking, and past clients. If you’re looking to make your sales pitches feel like natural conversations, Stephanie’s words are exactly what you need. So, make sure you watch or listen, now! Also, if you like Stephanie’s approach, be sure to attend Success Summit, where you’ll get her entire “playbook” for successful open houses. It’s just one of 15 different Lead Generation Playbooks you’ll get when you attend!

What does it take to generate and manage consistent volume in MEGA high-end luxury real estate? If you ask Mala Sander, she’d say that consistency comes from systems. Mala learned about creating optimized systems during her 20-year career at IBM, but those systems needed some adjusting when she began selling super-lux properties in the Hamptons. This week, Mala shares with me what works and what doesn’t in her market and how you can systematize your success in the high end. You don’t need to be living in the Hamptons to find this stuff useful, so make sure to watch or listen, now.

Susan and Paul Kadilak are a powerhouse couple. Within a year of releasing their first video, their business shot up by 60%. Now they run a design and renovation business on top of their brokerage, and, oh yeah… they’ve even been nominated for an Emmy Award.   But no matter how much they have on their plate, they never sacrifice the quality of anything they do. So, how do they manage their time so effectively? Paul says it comes down to “staying in their lane,” which might mean something a lot different than you think.   I sat down with Paul and Susan to discuss what their authentic lane is, how anyone can find theirs, time management, and shooting Emmy-worthy videos.   Not only will you learn lots of great tips, but these two are also hilarious, so make sure to watch and leave us a comment.

What do you want? Do you want more money? Better relationships? A healthier body? You can have anything you want, but it has to be reflected in your actions. If your behaviors don’t change, neither does your situation

This week, I have something of really insane value for you. I sat down with Carolyn Young, a 30-year veteran of the business, to role play the listing presentation script she uses to convert about 95% of her opportunities.   And for context, she went on 200 listing appointments last year. This year, she’s on track for SIX MILLION dollars in commission.   Her strategy is this… Carolyn has 70 beautiful, laminated slides which she brings with her to every appointment. She goes over them one by one and has her script adjustments ready for any objection that could possibly arise.   This is an episode you MUST watch or listen to, so I suggest you do that, right now. But I want to give you a heads-up… You’re not going to get to see the slides here. You will, however, get to see them in Dallas at ourSummit event next month.   Carolyn will be doing an on-stage listing presentation complete with all 70 of her slides seen clearly on the big screen. She’ll handle the toughest objections and answer any questions you have. Believe me… you will not want to miss it. Reserve your spot at Summit today!

The most frequent question that I get asked as a coach is, “How do I get organized?” As a CEO, I get it. Keeping your team organized is difficult… if… you don’t have your tech stacks and standard operating procedures in order. This week, I talked with Jack Lehr and Sara Cain of Tru Advantage Team, and Dan Barnett of The Jill Biggs Group about what it really takes to stay organized as a leader, from onboarding and offboarding to the tech stacks they can’t live without. This is a great conversation that I think will provide you a lot of ease and clarity, so make sure you watch or listen.

We spend so much time thinking about what we need to do and how to do it. But every now and then we need to step back and ask “why” we’re working so hard. That’s what I want to talk to you about this week – the people and experiences that fill your heart with love – because at the end of the day, not much else really matters. Make sure to watch and then share what you’re grateful for in the comments.

When the headlines are spreading unwarranted fear, your No. 1 job is to be the trusted advisor for your community. It sure doesn’t hurt if this helps you generate referrals. But the way in which you advise your sphere makes a difference. David Caldwell has a process for getting one-on-one with the people in your network to alleviate the fear in your marketplace, nurture sellers years in the making, and, yes, generate referrals. This is possibly the most important thing you could be doing for your business, so make sure to check out my conversation with David, right here.  

There are plays that work in luxury real estate during good markets, plays that work in bad markets, and then there plays that work in ANY market. And isn’t it funny how the things that always work are often the simplest (though maybe not the easiest)? Ann Howarth is a Rockstar luxury agent in Ventura who has worked with her coach Marc Prestera to adapt market immune practices for generating consistent listings. I sat down with Ann and Marc to discuss the conversations to have, the words that work, and the plays to run no matter what the reports are saying. With the market the way it is, you’re going to want to watch or listen to this, right now.  

Meet the Geronsins. They’re a family, a business, and real estate family business. Between them, Carole, George, and Genelle have over 80 combined years in the business, and when you look at their numbers, it’s clear they’re doing something right.   Running a family business isn’t easy, and that’s why this week, I spoke with the Geronsins about: The best ways to introduce your kids to the real estate world Branding and marketing as a family Finding your ideal role in the company And when to pass the baton   If you’re interested in building up and passing down your business to the people you love, this is the episode to watch. Make sure you watch or listen, right here.

These days it seems like everyone is obsessed with content calendars, but I’ll let you in on a little secret… there’s something even better than a calendar and that’s a social media content plan. They might sound similar, but there are some key differences. That’s why this week, Jason Pantana is going to show you the benefits of doing away with a rigid calendar, then take you through the “three Cs” of creating your own social media content plan. By the end, you’ll have the tools to make a menu of branded quality content to choose from any time you need. It’s time to take the guessing out of what to post, so make sure you watch or listen, now.

When the market makes an adjustment, it wouldn’t exactly make sense for us to keep on doing the same thing, would it? We need to adjust, too! In times like this, when I need to make an adjustment, I ask myself, “What decisions have I been putting off?” And when you think about the question, you might be surprised by the answer.

I’ll just say right off the bat that this is not the episode to miss. Right here in the studio, I have 15 of the most effective mega team leaders from the U.S. and Canada. We’re talking signature listing attraction strategies and we’re talking them fast – 3 minutes or less, per person.   So, get a pen and paper, and a glass of wine, because you’re going to want to take notes. Oh, and if you’re listing on audio, you might want to pop over to the YouTube because these guys are a riot.

Emma Lefkowitz admits she’s made just about every mistake possible when building her real estate team. But it’s those experiences that have led her to putting together a powerhouse SEAL team with all the right systems for weathering any storm. She’s managed to adapt to changing and challenging markets, and that’s why this week I have Emma here to share her wisdom on growing, innovating, and managing an unstoppable machine of a team. If you’re seeing any gaps in your business, I’d make sure to watch or listen to this one, because it’s very possible Emma will have a solution for you.

You may have heard a story (or seen one play out in your life) of two nearly identical people with the exact same situation. But when they come to a fork in the road, one goes down the path of destruction, and the other goes down the path of improvement. But here is the kicker… They both chose their paths for the same reason… So, what made the difference? Watch the episode to find out!

The average days on market for listings is going up. This could mean that business is slowing down… or… it could be the perfect opportunity to make the most out of every listing! Because let’s be fair, you can’t fully leverage a listing that sells in a matter of hours. This week, Jason Pantana is going to show you six market channels that will help you use one listing to generate several more. Remember, a listing can either be just a sale or it can be a launch point for geometric growth. Make sure to watch or listen and drop a comment to let us know what you think!

Competition is tough out there for agents, sure… but consider what it’s like for buyers right now… Demand is high, inventory is low, and interest rates have interested buyers sitting on the fence. If you’re going to get them off that fence and into a home, you need to be working with the right knowledge and the right language. Lucky for you, I have Byron Lazine with me to give you some brilliant advice on educating your buyers about their wealth. Make sure to watch or listen, then start reconsidering your own special language you’re going to bring into conversations

Partnered listings… Why would you anyone want to take half commission on a transaction when they could go for the whole things? Well, what if it meant way more transactions and your ticket into the world of super high-end luxury real estate? This week I talked with actor, theater director, and superstar NYC realtor Randy Baruh about how he used partnered listings and creative video to catapult into New York’s uber competitive luxury market. You could say he’s a pretty impressive guy, but what really stands out about Randy (and you’ll see this when you watch) is how humble, willing to learn, and full of joy he is. This is a lot of fun, so if you’re listening to the audio make sure to check out the video afterwards – this guy’s smile is contagious. And as always, please like and subscribe, because as Randy will show you, supporting others goes a long way.

It’s been said, “When you stop growing, you start dying,” and with the market as tough as it is right now, those words are more relevant than ever.   That’s why this week I have mega team leaders Lindsey and DJ DellaSala and Mark Pattison in the studio to discuss engineering growth by finding and mentoring a Rockstar sales staff.   If you’re looking to scale your sales (which you should be), these are the folks you need to hear from. So, make sure to watch or listen, like, subscribe, and then go out and grow out!  

Marketing is a lot of work. You put all this effort into creating quality content, shooting informative videos, then you post it out there – and it’s disappeared before it even had time to breathe. But did you know that there are some marketing channels where posts age like fine wine? That’s right, your content will have a much longer shelf life if you know where to place it, and Jason Pantana is going to show you just that. Make sure to watch or listen. Also, please do me and Jason a big favor by liking and subscribing.  

When the competition heats up, so do the heads of everyone in the room. If someone directs their insecurities or frustrations at you, what do you do? Imagine they were offering you a flower instead of a dig. Do you have to take the flower? What happens if you don’t? Watch and find out…

Chris Heller is the Chief Real Estate Officer at OJO labs, my former affirmation partner, and author of one of my favorite books of the year, “Dominant Thoughts.”   I really can’t stress enough how important this book is for agents facing our current market. That’s why this week I’m talking with Chris about why he wrote it and how you can use the ideas it presents in your own life and business. It could change everything.   I recommend you watch or listen to this quick podcast, then read the book immediately – AND get some gift copies for people you know.

Last year Brian Ladd and his team closed over 200 transactions and did close to a quarter billion dollars in volume in an area of just 800 homes. Best part is… he only has a team of seven salespeople! Brian is like the Tom Brady of real estate – he knows exactly where to pass the ball in order to win the big game. I sat down with Brain to unpack why he chose this model of team, how he leads, and what kind of impact he’s making in his community. This is inspiring stuff for anyone at any stage of their business development, so I really recommend that you watch or listen, right now.

Is your schedule so full that you don’t know how to keep up with it all? I know mine is jam packed constantly… by design. Why? Because you never know which phone call is going to be the one that changes your life, and I can give you proof of that. 

This week, I want to take a step back and ask how you’re doing with generating your listing leads. So… how’s it going? Is your pipeline full? If it’s not, Jason Pantana is going to give you four of the best tactics/channels for generating listings and show you how to use them. He’ll even tell you exactly what kinds of videos you should be creating and how these channels work. Make sure to watch or listen, and then go to YouTube and hit that subscribe button to support us so we can keep supporting you! (Thanks for recently pushing us over the 500k subscriber count! I truly appreciate you following along!)

In this business, the agent of choice is the agent people know. Making cold calls and working with leads is uncomfortable because you feel like a stranger to those people. So, what is best way to get past being a stranger to everyone you’ve never met? Make them see you EVERYWHERE so it feels like they already know you! I’m talking about ad retargeting. The Wolfe of Real Estate, Erica Wolfe, has used this powerful strategy to skyrocket her business, save a ton of time, and build a wolf-like level of confidence. I sat down with Erica and Jason Pantana to talk about what ad retargeting is and how you can start using it today. If extra time, money, and confidence sound like something you might be interested in, make sure you watch or listen, right now.

If you don’t know Tim Smith, you should. He’s one of my personal clients serving the whole Coastal Orange County area, brought in over $803,000,000 in volume last year, AND he’s speaking at Summit this August. The guy is on FIRE, so he clearly knows a thing or two about what’s hot and what’s not in luxury real estate today. I sat down with Tim to talk about the state of the market, how to educate your clients to the fact that it’s the best time ever to buy, and where you should be focusing your energy. If you want to know about luxury, growing your volume, or being the best version of yourself, watch or listen to this episode, and then make sure you get a chance to see Tim at Summit in Dallas.

How many reasons have you heard for someone not wanting to sell their home? How many reasons have people had for going with other agents? People have tons of excuses, but YOU DON’T, because Phil Jones is here to give you Exactly What to Say. Phil is the author of that phenomenal book I’ve been raving about for months and also the keynote speaker at our upcoming Success Summit! You’re going to learn how to handle just about any objection, stand out on your website and in your marketing, and you’ll get to watch us do some crazy inspiring roleplays.  So, yeah… this is a must-watch or listen. And remember, this is only a taste of what Phil is going to be offering at Summit.

Did you know that four out of five of the top marketers across all industries said they’d rather give up SOCIAL MEDIA than email? Yeah… Because email works when you know how to work it. All it takes is knowing what to do – and what not to do – in order to send wildly successful mass email campaigns that people will want to be on the receiving end of. That’s why Jason Pantana is going to show you how to do (and not do) just that. Make sure to watch or listen, like, subscribe, and leave a comment on YouTube for Jason.

Failure is only as real as you make it. That’s not some corny line; it’s a fact. You can choose to see failure or choose to see feedback. When you choose feedback, failure isn’t even an option.

Everyone who has their own business has thought about their brand. We all talk so much about branding and living into our brand, but most of us haven’t paused to ask the fundamental questions: What does “brand” actually mean? What is the difference between your brand and your marketing? What are the pillars of a successful brand story? Where does YOUR true brand come from?   To answer these and so many more questions, I sat down with two of the kings of branding, Marc Davison of 1000watt and Jason Pantana (maybe you recognize him?) for the ultimate deep dive into this essential subject.   If you’re looking to create, refine, or remodel your brand, this is the place to start, so make sure to watch or listen, right here.

Let’s not beat around the bush… We ARE in a recession. Maybe it’s not a housing recession, but this is no time to kick our feet up and take it easy. Getting more than our share of the market takes a dialed-in team with no weak links – and that takes some serious accountability. This week, I spoke with Lydia Gable about the importance of drive, the necessity of hard conversations, and how happy everyone can be when you find the right balance.   If you feel like your team could benefit from grinding a little harder, you’ll want to watch, listen, and share this fantastic advice.

It’s easy to become desensitized to marketing tactics when we’re bombarded with them constantly. But do you ever receive a piece in the mail that’s so beautiful it makes you go, “Wow… I didn’t know how much I actually needed this in my life.” Oriana Shea has a bag full of printed pieces that look like art books you’d buy from a museum and a YouTube channel filled with… recipes?

Do you ever just have crappy days? If you do, I bet it comes back to one of five things that you either skipped or didn’t get enough of. I call these my MEDSS. We all need to take them, because when you get the right dose, every day is a great one.

Tough market, you say? No time to mess around, then. I have one, two, three, FOUR of the most amazing women in real estate here in the studio to help me answer the questions, “How do we get those buyers off the fence, and how do we do it faster?” Sarah Allen, Jen Dillard, Keri White, and Glennda Baker not only answer that question – they do it with enough precision to leave time to talk about (obviously) time management and even to give you a few video tips.

Speaking of CTAs, I could tell you all about them here, or I could tell you to watch or listen for yourself.

Phil Gerdes has always been a super-scaler, Rockstar agent. But this last December, Phil attended a particularly intense mastermind that changed his entire approach to video, branding, and communicating to his audience. As soon as he returned home, he called an emergency meeting with his entire team to tell them that everything was about to be different.   And the results have been extreme. His following has grown almost 50x what it was just a few months ago, and he’s become something of a local celebrity where fans approach him on the street. This week, Phil shares with me his secrets for building this kind of reputation and how you can replicate it.   The most amazing thing is his secret might almost seem like it has nothing to do with real estate at first. This is not one to miss, so watch or listen, right here, right now.

Do you run a team where your agents aren’t performing at a top level? Are you starting to build a team and aren’t certain of how to onboard your agents? The first thing you need is a coach. The second is to listen to the process Steve Rovithis uses. Steve runs one of the biggest “teamerages” in the country, with over 120 salespeople across four regions. It’s not surprising that Steve studied biology in college, because he has a fundamental understanding of how things grow, and this week he spoke with me about how to grow an army of happy, rich super-agents. If you’re interested in growth, implementing training, or working in a success-driven environment, you gotta check this one out, right here.

We see ads everywhere, all the time, every day. Most of us feel like we’ve become immune to advertising… until suddenly we’re not. Why do some ads work on us while others become white noise? It’s not by accident.

This week, we’re talking about a unique (and potentially more powerful) form of confidence. Dan Prud’Homme is a master salesman. He always said he only wanted to sell and had no interest in managing. But then something happened, and now Dan is running a super successful “teamerage” where he devotes all his energy to helping other agents discover their own power. I sat down with Dan expecting to talk about how to close more deals, and he definitely delivers that. But what he also delivers is a secret which goes way beyond making money. Dan’s advice has the potential to make you more confident, happy, and caring in every aspect of life by allowing you to connect with others on a deeper level. Listen to Dan’s voice and watch his face, and you’ll understand the truth behind what he says. I guarantee this one will make you smile, so check it out, right here.

Times are changing all over the country. In Austin, Texas, there are close to 15,000 licensed agents, and last year they all had to split an inventory of just around 900 homes. As you’d expect from this kind of market, the top 10% of agents rise to the top and close nearly all the deals. So, how do we get into the 10%, and even better – how do we stand out as the luxury agent of choice? Discussing this question with me is Monica Fabbio. We’re talking big money sales and how Monica is managing to double her sales in this tough market.

Do I really need to give you yet another reason to concentrate your efforts on video marketing? How about this… Since Jeremy Knight started getting serious about video in 2019, he’s gotten his marketing expenses down to ZERO and pulled in 1.2 million dollars in GCI just last year. I guess you don’t need to spend money to make money… This week, I sat down with Jeremy to discuss some of the strategies he uses to make his videos stand out, drive engagement, and generate massive income. It all comes down to being the “content DJ” in his market – the one who spins the news. If you’re looking for a great example to emulate, you’ll want to watch or listen, right here.

Emily Terrell does it all; she’s a mother, powerbroker, real estate coach, and investor. Oddly enough, Emily sometimes refers to herself as the laziest agent in real estate, because she’s found a way to maximize her efficiency so that she can easily attract clients while spending time with her family.   It all comes down to her systems and long-term strategy. Emily doesn’t do anything without a purpose, and that means everything she does is directly connected to her brand.

Where does certainty come from? It’s not from the road you haven’t yet traveled. Certainty comes from where you’ve been and how you’re thinking, right now. You’re stronger than you were, because at some point you decided to embrace the challenge.

The obvious way to achieve success in real estate is to have a ton of experience and a huge network – basically, already be successful. The other way is to think smarter and get yourself off on the right footing. When your brand is strong enough, experience doesn’t matter. If you’re a new agent, Jason Pantana and I are going to give you the social media strategies you absolutely need to compete with the big fish in your market. And if you’re an established agent, you can go ahead and skip this, because you’re already doing all these things, right?... Right?... One more time – right?... You should all watch or listen to it. Ready, set, go!

We have Rockstar agent Doug Edrington back in the house, talking to me about LPMAMA! If you’re not familiar, it’s a set of talking points for covering all your bases when converting leads into clients. But this isn’t your mama’s LPMAMA. No, Doug’s made it cleaner, meaner, and added a bonus “S” at the end, which (just like an “S” at the end of most words) multiplies its potential. If now is your first time hearing about it, this is the best way to learn. And if you already know LPMAMA, Doug’s going to show it to you in a whole new way. So, no matter what your prior knowledge, this is one you’ll want to watch or listen to, right now!

Darin Marques was bartending when he decided to get into real estate back in 2009 – not exactly an easy time to get your start. But it didn’t take long until Darin was one of the top luxury agents in Las Vegas.   You could say that Darin knows a bit about thriving in a tough market, and this week he shared with me some of the ways he continues to beat the competition in this one, including: The necessity of a client-first mindset Taking care of your agents to increase their production The power of visualization Reciprocal giving   If someone says that morality can’t make you money, they’ve never met Darin. Do yourself a favor by watching or listening, and then do someone else a favor by sharing.

Greetings from the Mohegan Sun Hotel and Casino in beautiful Uncasville, Connecticut! I’m here with Super-Team, Byron Lazine and Nicole White. When Byron and Nicole met back in 2016, they recognized the rare opportunity for a mastermind partnership which couldn’t be passed up, even if it meant relocating and beginning a new team from day one.

Marketing yourself effectively takes a lot of time, thought, and hard work. It can seem like a real chore if you let it.

The federal government has made it mandatory that CRMs allow people to opt out of automatic text messages. There is nothing we can do about that, but also… why would we want to?

You’ll want to watch or listen, and stick around to the end for a bonus marketing tip which shows results.

These are the people you should be spending more time with. Napoleon Hill called this the Mastermind Group, and said it was the #1 most neglected factor in success. Maybe it’s time to find yours.

Houston agent Katie Day won a coaching call with me in 2018. At the time, she was in just her second full year in real estate... and on track to sell 87 homes! My advice was simple – hire another agent and start building your team immediately.

Can you tell me who your first sales are in 2022? If the answer is no, it’s time to wake your ass up and get to work.  It’s been a frothy 21 months in the real estate industry.

If you’re not constantly moving contacts to the top of your sales funnel, you’re missing out on those opportunities to help someone buy or sell real estate so you can get paid.  In this week’s Tom Ferry Podcast Experience, we’ll tackle these 4 actions you need to take before 2022: Reactivate your past clients.

What’s Your End Game? | Mindset Monday   If your life was as good as it possibly could be... then what? It’s time for you to fill in that blank.

Lots of people are attracted to real estate because there’s no limit on what you can achieve. Agent Bethany Benner from Cedar Falls, Iowa is certainly fulfilling that promise. In less than three years in the business, she’s closed 182 transactions – and counting! So I got her on today’s podcast to not only reveal her process, but also the mistakes she made, insight into her winning mindset, and where she envisions her business going in the future. Whether you’re new to the business or a longtime veteran, you’ll benefit from hearing Bethany’s journey.

Do you acknowledge the existence of iBuyers and other disruptors in our industry? Or are you essentially burying your head in the sand hoping that if you don’t bring them up, your clients won’t either? Today’s guest on the Tom Ferry Podcast Experience says you not only need to acknowledge them, but you need to become an expert in what they have to offer. Real estate tech strategist Mike DelPrete believes that’s how agents will succeed well into the future as more and more unconventional business models pop up to try to grab a piece of the $90 billion in annual commissions. Listen to today’s episode for Mike’s insights on the future of the industry and what you need to do to excel... despite the disruptors!

When you get out of your comfort zone, you’re basically under attack. Your body starts recoiling and the voice inside your head makes up a million reasons why you should retreat.

And I’ve asked her to share her process with you. Not only is Michelle my guest on today’s podcast, but she’s also one of our amazing keynote speakers at this year’s Success Summit!

Agents are constantly chasing new leads, but too often unwilling to invest the time and energy to pick up the phone and reach out to those people they already know! The latest data shows that approximately seven percent of people are considering a move right now. Think of that... 7 out of every 100 contacts in your phone are potential listings just waiting for your call, but if you’re not making those calls, you’re missing out. So today’s podcast is addressing this topic head-on, with scripts and topic ideas to make your calls easier and an old-school method that still works – even if you have no database!

Get up. Work my butt off. Go to bed. Repeat... I recently calculated I’ve done that more than 11 THOUSAND days since I joined this industry. But it wasn’t until I’d done it about 8,500 times that I gained any real notoriety. I hope my point is clear... whenever you think someone is an “overnight success,” they’ve likely put in thousands of hours – or days, even – to get where they are. Stop looking for the quick fix and do the work.
