Let me explain......... We were working in the office today and I was checking some emails and searching the MLS when a friend of mine in the office walked by and said, you on active rain again? ( you know who you are HAHAHA ) about that time another agent laughed and made … (3 comments)
Hello to all.
Had all day training today on team building from Gene Rivers, who's got to be one of the best instructors in real estate, much less KW trainers.
"I don't care where you've been, I care where you are going."
Okay, so here's the news that you all have been patiently waiting for - the announcement of which Teams have made the cut to compete in the upcoming 'Makeover2Takeover' Contest.
Greg Lemond was the first American to win the Tour de France.
You know when something just feels right......when the timing is just so that you can no longer resisit moving forward.
The other day I got stuck on a show on HGTV for first time homebuyers. The show was called "property virgins." The couple was clearly scared out of their wits to buy their first property and are teamed up with a Real Estate agent who shows them three properties. In the end they … (10 comments)
I went to Memorial High School in '85, left and went to and lived in various places like Arizona (went to ASU), California (Fremont) and Tokyo. When I came back to Tulsa last October after about twenty two years, I found a lot of interesting things to do outside of work.
I simply cannot be in so many places at once. Springtime is a busy time! Lots of "tire kickers". Lots of "bottom dwellers". And hopefully, lots of deals to be made. I have decided that I need more team players at my office. I have stated that I feel like I … (4 comments)
Do you ever feel that your administrative tasks are overwhelming you? Do you feel that your life is going down the proverbial tubes because your entire day consists of "work stuff?" Are you busy, busy, busy and never stopping?
We're a successful team of four, three active agents and one admin/web person who is licensed but doesn't work with buyers and sellers (oh, she works with them, she just doesn't show property as she isn't licensed with "the Board". ) Have you noticed - there's no "I" in "team". A … (2 comments)
I thought about the reason I was asked to speak at the National Convention and wondered about the experience other agents had with teams. By teams I mean a group of agents and administrative staff joined together for a common goal.
Everyone has heard the horror stories of transactions that failed for any one of many reasons. Financing did not get approved, inspections went bad, the buyers or sellers circumstances changed or an issue developed that could not be resolved. One of the most effective deterrents to avoiding these transaction difficulties is … (3 comments)
I'm always interested to know why & how agents came to a career in real estate. 
Tony Robbins teaches us that we will rise to the expectations of our peer group. While he uses this as a caution in deciding who we spend out time with, I am learning to use it as a reminder to be aware of what I expect from others. Couldn't we equally … (4 comments)
I am asking agents who have been on teams successful or not if they believe teams in real estate work and if so, what are the key factors in making such circumstances successful? … (4 comments)
Business is good. Both of us started out a number of years ago as single agents. We knew each other, but had never really done business together. Then happenstance put us together, and we have been a team for over a year now. It could not be much better. Division of … (12 comments)
Over the past few months i have been blessed with a lot of new REO business and at this time i am at a point where i need to add people.
I have a small real estate team-consisting usually of myself, a buyer specialist or two, my right-hand woman/closing coordinator/etc, and my virtual assistants (who ROCK).
This is an idea whose time has come and I do love it, I have seen this in other industries and now it has come to real estate. A cooperative book is being developed, it is really exciting to me, the more minds the better. I am a firm believer in teams and this … (0 comments)
I recently left a franchise which has a unique business model, and where they basically taught me to build a team. This team would center around me, the broker-owner, and allow me to list 100% of the properties. My team would include buyer agents, a Buyer Services Mgr., and several employees … (4 comments)
My mother was my first contact with the world of real estate. She started in the business in 1980 when rates were astronomical and contract for deeds was the only way. She teamed up with another newbie in the business and they started working as a team. My mom was a … (2 comments)
In school, when the teams were being picked, you were either picked first or last. If you were picked somewhere in the middle, you were always able to justify it by saying to yourself, "Yes, I wasn't picked last!"
What is going to be most different next year is the reshaping of our systems and team. My partner and I have worked together about five years and both of us are control freaks in our own way. The most amazing phenomenon is that if we substitute on an appointment for … (7 comments)
This question is constantly on the front burner for most agents who are multi-million dollar-plus producers. Many trainers and coaches want you to get off the keyboard and get in front of prospects. Great in theory, not always workable in practice. I don't think everyone who is a top producing Realtor … (57 comments)
There was an top producing agent I was talking with a couple of years ago. He had his own team and after picking his brain, he revealed to me the team concept he was using. I really liked the team concept he was using and I would like to get feedback … (4 comments)
Virtual teams or telecommuting became a twinkle in the eye of real estate professionals the minute fax machines and direct dial long distance were launched. We just KNEW there had to be some way we could make this work -- to be able to contact our office effectively and quickly from … (5 comments)
Have you tried Twitter yet? Twitter is a Web 2.0 online application that allows you to micro-blog what you are doing through IM, SMS text messaging and through the twitter website. How does this benefit teams? Each of your team members can join Twitter (free!) and become friends with each other. … (10 comments)
Teaming up? Are any of you struggling with the idea of having a "Team" in real estate? I do not mean assistants and buyers agents necessarily. I mean a 50/50 split of business between you and another agent?
Football fan or not, you can learn a lot from something the boys do regularly on the gridiron - huddle. 
There hasn't been a time since I've been in the business that I haven't been asked, "How many agents do you have working for you?" People are always shocked when I tell them none! It's just my wife, and I, our computers, and webs. In another lifetime, I was on the … (20 comments)
I just signed up today for a free business blog through RealtyBlogging.com. I bought their book on Amazon last week and like the advice. They talked about creating a company blog with RSS feeds for quickly disseminating information to teams. I used to have a Webex Office intranet when it used … (5 comments)
I enjoyed meeting two newly minted Realtors today. They are joining an experienced Realtor in the area to set up a team. The experienced Realtor set up appointments for them to join him in visiting lenders that he does business with. My responsibility was to speak to them about the approach … (2 comments)
This week a couple of agents in my office are going away on vacation, and I'll be handling their escrows while they are out of town. I consider this an honor, rather than a burden. I feel honored that these top producer agents put their trust in me to oversee their … (1 comments)
I recently had a meeting with a wonderful gal, a Realtor/Broker that is building her business in Investment/ Commercial Properties nationally. We clicked right away..we have children the same age, live in the same town, etc, and even though she is successful, she is finding it hard to find … (2 comments)
There are numerous models being used and calling themselves teams or groups. 
After reading "the lovely wife's" blog on LOCK AND LOAD, it made me realize that TEAMS, especially husband/wife teams have a lot of selling potential that a single Realtor does not. A team has double opinions, time, ideas, and support for each other.
Keller Williams is growing fast and for great reasons. While there are still many parts of the country experiencing Keller Who? If they are not in your area, they will be soon.
I've noticed lately several "Teams" that have changed their name to "Group". My mother and I are a team and we say "The Moore & Moore Team".
