While I happily sing the praises of prospecting phone calls, and social media marketing, it can’t be denied that real estate is a business built on relationships, and your strongest relationships, or your Sphere of Influence (SOI), are your most reliable referral source.

It's one of the oldest businesses any young entrepreneur remembers starting. They aren't around as often anymore but the neighborhood curbside lemonade stand used to be a staple among communities all across the Country. Children of all ages would haul their tables, chairs, and homemade signs out to the major walkways so they could catch the eyes of thirsty pedestrians or motorists eager to support their cause. No one that I can remember ever got rich off of running a lemonade stand. But, if a kid made a few bucks … (0 comments)
Should Sellers Take The First Offer When Selling Their Home?Some say first offers are the best offers, some say to wait it out to get a higher offer, I personally do not agree with either theory.If your house is priced to sell and what I mean by that is list price is supported by sold homes within your neighborhood that are comparable to your house and within the market value, then it is perfectly fine to expect an offer in a short amount of … (3 comments)

realestateagents: How to Recognize Your Referral Clients
- 08/10/15 08:28 AM
Too often real estate agents get a referral from a client, friend, colleague or fellow agent and don’t take the time to stop and thank them properly for sending the business. You can’t take referrals for granted. A little gratitude goes a long way in this world.

Assure them that not only are you grateful for the lead, but also that you will do everything in your power to take incredible care of that referral and deliver the highest level of service and professionalism. Here How … (0 comments)

What's the real estate golden rule? It’s a really simple rule: treat others the way you would like to be treated yourself.

The ability to provide those kinds of resources is powerful. So if you really want to grow your base of business, move beyond your own wealth and your own networks, research and create a list of ten trusted service provider resources centered around the … (2 comments)

As we sprint into the second half of the year, it is important that agents take the time to ask themselves these three questions: Do you have achievable goals? Do you know where you stand relative to those goals? What systems and tools are you going to put in place to make sure you've accomplished your goals, and maybe even exceed them, by December 31st? As Ben Feldman said, “Goals aren't enough. You need goals plus deadlines. Goals big enough to get excited about and a deadline to make you run.” Unfortunately, for too many real estate agents, the process of setting a goal and tracking … (2 comments)
