How Listening to the Wrong "Experts" Can Kill Your Career-One Agent's Perspective

As Robert DeNiro says in Raging Bull "everyone is an authority"!

And there is no shortage of them these days - many of them self proclaimed 'social media experts'.

You hear them everywhere "don't pay a dime for marketing" or "Twitter your way to riches"

All these experts make THEIR money telling you where you should not spend their money (while they collect their seminar fees from YOU)

Here is a blog post from Heather Lawson who is doing lots of things the experts tell her not to and is doing well.

It's called "How Listening to the Wrong Experts Almost Ruined my Real Estate Career"

BTW on Monday HomeGain will be announcing another agent who made a million dollars using HomeGain's Agent Evaluator.

How much are you making listening to the experts?

So true much like all the real estate short sale coaches that have not personally closed a short sale.

Eric

I agree

The question you should ask before listening to anyone's advice (and certainly before paying for it)

HOW WELL HAVE YOU DONE USING THIS SYSTEM

If they can't answer or wont, save your money and move on...

Louis:

I have a post coming out next week called: Buyers are liars. Sellers are story tellers. And, real estate agents...they're just full of crap.
Very similar to what you're talking about. Stay tuned...it's going to be a real doozie.

Thanks for sharing this information-everyone is good at giving information without knowing what they are talking about.

You can say all that again Eric. Over the last 20+ years there is always somebody who's got a bigger better boat that you MUST buy or else you'll fail. Whatever.

Tried and true systems = results.

Thanks for your post, Anna Banana, Phoenix, AZ

Thanks for the link. I think you have to do what works and I do a lot of things others dont do.

Right on target! There are a lot of people out there selling "How to" and "How not to" who would starve to death actually selling Real Estate. Just because someone makes a lot of noise and is a "star" on the internet does not mean they actually know what they are talking about.

All that said - I have found some true "experts" in their field who have made a tremendous impact on my career. Sorting the true experts from the noise is tough though.

I am glad Heather Lawson had enough sense to march to her own drum beat and not follow the "experts".
