It's difficult to grasp some concepts when starting in a new field, no matter how many times you review them. In this episode of "The Real Estate Sales Podcast," host Jimmy Burgess shares six paradoxes in real estate. Tune in to discover what they are to help grow your real estate business. 1. Giving Paradox People nowadays believe that if they want something, they have to go get it. However, Jimmy discovered this may not always be the case. Instead of always being out there selling, figure out how you give value. Jimmy shares ideas and examples within the episode. 2. Growth Paradox The time it takes to build your real estate business will take longer than you thought it would. However, you'll start seeing growth quickly once you put in the work. Think back to when you felt as though you were stuck in life, and then, out of nowhere, everything you wanted came to fruition. Apply this concept to your business, and you'll see growth within no time if you're doing the work. 3. Problem Paradox You may view problems or difficulties as something negative, but in reality, they're opportunities. Challenges are chances to deepen relationships, show value, and prove that you can move your business forward. Always trust the process and create relationships to bring positive opportunities. 4. Selling Paradox The less you try to sell to someone, the more they will try to buy from you. When you're not pushing someone to decide, clients can determine what they feel is best for them. Jimmy shares how you can give information to clients to help them make their own decisions. 5. Money Paradox To make money, you have to spend money. You may think of holding onto the money once you start making it, but investing it into your real estate business is better. For example, if video production brings you money, consider investing more in it. Eventually, it will help you grow your business and triple your income. 6. Fear Paradox What you fear the most is what you must do to help your business grow. What are you afraid to do? Is it making phone calls, making video content, or putting yourself on social media? Whatever it is, push your fear aside and start doing it, as it will help you take your business to the next level. Jimmy Burgess always shares excellent real estate sales advice.

Don't you hate it when someone doesn't tell you everything you need to know, especially within the real estate industry? You want a broker who is honest with you no matter how hurtful the truth may be. However, most don't have the heart to tell the truth when the real estate market isn't going so well. In this "The Real Estate Sales Podcast" episode, host Jimmy Burgess shares five things real estate agents need to know. Subscribe and hear what your broker is too nice to tell you. 1. The Market Is Getting Tougher Jimmy discusses how the real estate market is challenging, and most agents cannot handle the difficulties. When things get tough, don't become soft; push through the challenges you're facing. Jimmy also says it's better to face the challenges because when you wait for life to give you whatever, it will typically give you the worst. Start being proactive. Make those phone calls or host that open house you've been putting off. Now is the time for you to take action and bring positive changes. 2. You're Blaming Everyone and Everything Take ownership instead of pouting about what someone did or a bad situation. You can't change what happens or make others do something they don't want to do. Focus on what you can do to create a better outcome. 3. You're Playing Small Stop with the negative self-talk. It's holding you back from achieving your goals. You may be afraid that someone will hang up or be angry that you called them. Even if it happens, it's not the end of the world. You can always call another prospect. Those who push past their fears while others stay in them will be more likely to succeed. 4. Agents Are Reacting Incorrectly to Adversity Remember, adversity means opportunities. How will you handle things when things don't go your way? Are you going to freeze and throw the towel in? Are you going to figure out solutions? What about increasing your communications with clients? Jimmy shares that this is the perfect time to build deep relationships with brokers, sellers, and clients. 5. Do Different Things in 2024 The things you did in 2023 may not work in 2024. Pay attention to your actions from last year and figure out how to expand on them. The real estate market is constantly evolving, so you must be willing to make positive changes to keep your business afloat. Also, consider the things you have yet to try that you can do this year.

Your dream is to have a thriving real estate business that provides you with a luxury lifestyle. However, you have been in the industry for a year now, and everything is going differently than planned. You grind hard daily to sell homes, but your real estate business is far from what you initially pictured. How can you design your dream business to help you live the perfect life? Start by listening to this week's episode of The Real Estate Sales podcast. TRES host, Jimmy Burgess, speaks with another real estate agent, Price Rainer, on tips for building a successful business. Tune in now and hear what they have to say! Creating a Business Plan to Support the Dream Life Price shares how a coach he hired in 2001 inspired him to start his business. Price discussed his "life of dreams" with a mentor, who asked him to time block his daily activities to support his goals. He filled out a time blocking sheet based on their values and priorities, and the mentor provided guidance on how to tailor his business to support his lifestyle. Tailoring Business to Fund Dream Life Through Daily Activities Price wanted to generate enough money to fund his dream life through real estate, but recognized the need to balance work and personal life. He identified three communities to target based on sales price and commissions, and developed a plan to penetrate each community. Price used a specific formula to determine daily activities to achieve his goals and dreams, modifying them each October as needed. Consistency in following this practice led to meeting or exceeding goals and dreams every year. Prioritizing Life Goals and Avoiding Sacrifice Jimmy emphasizes the importance of prioritizing life goals and values over work, avoiding sacrifice for the sake of being a workaholic. Accountability in Real Estate Business Growth Jimmy shares that he often struggles with managing his time and tasks, leading to a reactive and unproductive work style. Price emphasizes the importance of accountability in maintaining a plan and staying on track, with the help of a mentor or coach like the assistant. He also emphasizes the importance of accountability in achieving business goals, citing personal coaching and mastermind groups as helpful tools. Jimmy agrees, highlighting the value of daily practices and delegating administrative and marketing tasks to grow the business and free up time for high-priority activities. You deserve to have it all - the thriving real estate business and the high luxury lifestyle. One of the best ways to achieve this is to be accountable for your daily actions. This will help you achieve the growth and results you desire. Also, subscribing and listening to the TRES podcast will help you reach your real estate goals faster.

Here's a secret foundation for building your real estate business. It's an acronym that most real estate agents don't know about, but it's essential to creating a successful business. This episode will discuss the importance of setting up, optimizing, and engaging your database or CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system to generate a steady flow of deals for your business. Your database is not just a tool for an organization but a valuable asset that can be sold if you decide to exit the real estate industry. Listen to this week's episode of The Real Estate Sales podcast to learn more about it! E - Everybody Goes in Your Database To ensure a comprehensive database, you must include everyone you know who could be a buyer or seller. This includes renters, homeowners, and your sphere of influence. Having a wide range of contacts in your CRM system allows you to reach out to them consistently and build relationships over time. N - Notes on Every Person As your database grows, remembering every detail about each contact becomes challenging. Therefore, taking notes on each individual is crucial, capturing vital information and personal attributes that will help you deepen your relationship with them. This includes interests, future plans, and anything discussed during conversations. The more information you have, the better you can serve your clients, making your database more valuable. G - Generate Automated Property Emails By setting up your CRM system to send automated property emails, you can provide consistent value to your contacts. For homeowners, these emails can feature updates on properties that have come on the market, gone under contract, or sold in their area, directly impacting the value of their home. Potential buyers and renters can also receive property updates based on their preferred price range and preferences. Prospecting becomes effortless as your CRM system generates property emails regularly. A - Add Personalized Value While automated emails are valuable, adding a personal touch can make a significant difference in building relationships. Identify opportunities to reach out individually to contacts. For example, if you come across a property that might interest a homeowner, send them a personalized email mentioning how it could affect their home value. Similarly, if you notice milestones or achievements on social media, sending a congratulatory message demonstrates your attention and care. Personalized value goes beyond automated systems, transforming your CRM into a relationship-building tool. G - Get Systematic and Social with Your CRM Establish a systematic approach for consistent communication to take full advantage of your CRM system. Besides automated property emails, consider sending regular newsletters with community updates, featured properties, and local activities. Highlighting events and happenings outside of real estate helps to engage your contacts on a more personal level. Additionally, leverage social media platforms to connect with your contacts on a deeper level. You can find them on social media, follow them, and engage with their posts. Blending systematic and social elements makes your CRM a powerful referral machine. E - Every Interaction Prompts the Next Conversation Ensure no contact falls through the cracks by promptly recording and scheduling follow-ups for every interaction. Each time you engage with someone, whether through calls, messages, or social media interactions, note it in your CRM system and set reminders for future conversations or actions. Set specific to-do tasks for each contact, such as sending an unsolicited CMA to a homeowner in six months or suggesting properties to a potential buyer in three weeks. By following a systematic plan, you can maintain consistent communication and maximize deal opportunities. Effectively utilizing your CRM system as an ATM for your business requires an intentional and strategic approach. Following the ENGAGE framework, you can create a database that consistently drives deals for your real estate business. Stay proactive, organized, and engaged with your contacts to build a valuable asset that supports your business growth and success. "Your database or CRM is actually the opportunity of a lifetime for you. It is where you have the foundation of your business. It keeps you organized and allows you to have a sellable asset when and if you decide to exit real estate. As long as it is set up properly, it is set up to be systemized." - Jimmy Burgess.

He will dissect the key steps and delve into the importance of understanding where you are, reviewing past activities, and charting a path for the future. Understanding Where You Are Jimmy emphasizes the significance of starting from a place of awareness. Evaluating your current position, whether in your profession or personal life, is crucial. By assessing your circumstances, successes, and challenges, you can gain valuable insights into the factors that have brought you to this point. This understanding lays the foundation for charting your path toward future growth. Reviewing Past Activities To move forward successfully, you must reflect on the actions that have led you to your current situation, both positive and negative. By identifying the daily activities that have contributed to your achievements or setbacks, you can gain clarity on the habits and strategies that work effectively. This step allows you to refine your approaches and focus on replicating the actions that yield positive outcomes while tweaking or discarding those that hinder progress. Charting a Path for the Future It is essential to envision and articulate where you want to be in the future, both personally and professionally. Jimmy advises setting short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals to establish a direction and a sense of purpose. Having a clear vision of your ideal future, you can strategically plan the necessary actions and activities to propel you toward those goals. Focusing on Leading Indicators Leading indicators are the daily activities that serve as predictors of future success. These activities vary from person to person and depend on the context, such as the real estate industry or any other field. Jimmy recommends identifying the leading indicators that align with your goals and consistently incorporating them into your daily routines. Examples may include making targeted phone calls, engaging in social media marketing, or hosting open houses, all contributing to eventual achievements. Doing Future Leading Indicator Activities Daily Jimmy emphasizes the importance of taking action consistently to achieve different results. Committing to at least one future leading indicator activity daily creates momentum and progress toward your goals. These actions build a solid foundation for future growth and ensure you continually progress. Jimmy's insights on future growth highlight the significance of intentional planning and daily action, regardless of the field or industry. Understanding where you are, reviewing past activities, and charting a clear path for the future are vital steps in developing a growth mindset. Focusing on leading indicators and engaging in these activities consistently will fuel your progress and help you realize your visions. These strategies can help you create a successful future that exceeds your expectations.

In the fast-paced world of real estate, mindset plays a crucial role in determining an agent's success or failure. A person's beliefs and attitudes shape the actions they take, which ultimately impact their outcomes. In this episode of the TRES podcast, Jimmy explores the different mindsets that can lead to success or failure in the real estate business. Ignorance on Fire ● When starting in real estate, many agents experience a phase called "ignorance on fire." This refers to the excitement and passion that draws people in. ● New agents, or even experienced ones trying something new, can quickly gain traction by leveraging their energy and enthusiasm. ● However, it is important to remember that this phase is not sustainable in the long run. To truly succeed, one must evolve from ignorant enthusiasm to informed passion. Knowledge on Ice ● The opposite of ignorance on fire is knowledge on ice. This mindset refers to agents who possess the necessary expertise and experience but fail to utilize it effectively. ● Often, these agents become complacent and stop adding value to their clients' lives. This lack of proactive engagement can lead to burnout and hinder business growth. ● To reignite their passion, agents must find ways to innovate, personalize their approach, and tap into activities they enjoy. Rediscovering their energy will help them provide exceptional service once again. Be Proactive ● Success in real estate stems from being proactive. ● Proactive agents take control of their schedules and prioritize activities that drive their business forward. They employ strategies like time-blocking for prospecting, staying in touch with past clients, and executing well-planned marketing campaigns. ● Proactive agents create growth opportunities and distinguish themselves from the competition by actively shaping their businesses. Avoid Reactivity ● On the other hand, being reactive is a mindset that often leads to failure. ● Reactive agents lack control over their schedules and find themselves constantly addressing urgent, last-minute issues instead of proactively driving their business. A reactive mindset breeds inefficiency, leaving agents feeling exhausted and unproductive. ● To break this cycle, agents must shift their mindset to become more proactive. In order to regain control and achieve better results, agents need to proactively plan their days and focus on adding value. Embrace Persistence ● Persistence is a vital trait for success in real estate. Challenges are inevitable, and agents must be resilient in the face of obstacles. ● Approaching setbacks with determination and a problem-solving mindset is crucial. Successful agents view obstacles as opportunities for growth rather than reasons to give up. ● By overcoming challenges promptly, agents can build trust with clients and position themselves as reliable professionals. In the world of real estate, mindset is everything. Agents who possess the right attitude and beliefs have a higher chance of achieving success. Jimmy shares eleven mindsets that can set you up for success within the real estate industry. Listen to this week's episode to discover the rest of his advice to help you become a successful real estate agent.

Farm Agents the Same Way You Farm Geographical Areas ● Build a database of agents' email addresses within the feeder markets you want to target. ● Use the database to send a postcard or other content that adds value to their market. ● This will allow you to build relationships with the agents within these market areas. ● You can use CRM, MailChimp, or Constant Constant to help you build an agent database. Attend Conferences ● Attend different conferences in a state where there's a feeder market coming to the convention. ● Take the time to chat with different agents to build trust and relationships with them. ● Remember to get their email, so you can add them to your database and reconnect with them later.
