Why is farming still an important prospecting tool for real estate agents in this digital world? Simply it put's you in front of a targeted audience? It provides you a focused area to build your business. After we are selling homes. Laser Focus -  if you sell 50 homes and they are scatted all over, you are number one where?

The Calendar says Spring, but what day is it really!

Image
As we finish up the month, it is important to look at where you are in your business.   The calendar says today is 3/31/18, but in terms of business what day is it really?    Ask yourself these questions. 1.  Do you have any active contracts? 2.  What is the typical time it takes a new client to get into a transaction? 3.  How long is the process time to close a contract takes? It is always important to keep this information in front of you. Why?  If we breakdown those above three question, the average time frame from getting a new client to closing a transaction is typically 90 days.  That means if you do not have a client today, your next pay check is most likely not coming in until July 1st.   This isn't to scare you, but it should.  This is why we tell our clients to be focusing on lead generation daily.   Without lead generation, you have no future business.    If you are looking ...

Since that point, yoga has become a place of  empowerment and reflection. One that has provided my brain a calm, clarity, confidence, and sort of  grounding. It has become a factor in my staying power in the real estate industry. After a recent class, I was thinking just how much the two have in common when it was comes to growing your business. Mindset:  Setting your mind each day on what you plan to accomplish in your real estate practice places a vibration out in the universe that says you are ready to work.  You are prioritizing your mindset to follow through and accomplish those goals. ...
