182: Is It Time to Hire a Coach? Jan 30, 2023

Show notes

Real estate coaching is everywhere right now—but do you actually need it?

In this episode, we're having an honest conversation about coaching: when it helps, when it doesn't, and what you should do before spending thousands of dollars.

Because here's the truth—most agents don't need a coach. They need structure, accountability, and to actually use the tools they already have.

We're breaking down how to decide what's right for YOU (without fear, pressure, or expensive mistakes).

We're covering:

-Why coaching feels more appealing in a shifting market -How fear-based marketing influences your decisions -The difference between coaching, accountability, and support -Questions to ask before hiring a coach -Why unfinished courses and unused tools are a red flag -How to create a free accountability system that actually works -The role your broker should play in your business -Why coaches can't do the work for you -Real stories from agents who spent thousands on coaching -How to build a support system that doesn't cost you a fortune

One of the biggest takeaways? A coach can guide you—but they can't save you.

If you're not doing the work now, paying for coaching won't magically change that.

180: The 2022 NAR Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers Jan 16, 2023

Show notes

If you've ever wondered what buyers and sellers are REALLY doing (not just what we think they're doing), this episode is for you.

Every year, the National Association of REALTORS® releases its Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers—and every year, we do the hard work of reading it so you don't have to. This year's report is 142 pages long, packed with data from over 4,800 buyers… and we're breaking it all down into the most important takeaways for your business.

Because here's the thing: when you understand the data, you can stop guessing—and start making smarter decisions.

From how buyers are finding agents (hello, accidental online leads 👀) to why sellers are moving and what actually matters to them, this episode is full of insights that will help you stay relevant in a shifting market.

Here's what we cover:

-What the 2022 NAR Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers is and why it matters -Key buyer trends (age, financing, search time, and more) -Why first-time buyers dropped to just 26% -How far buyers are moving (and why it jumped to 50 miles) -Where buyers are actually finding their agents -The rise of online lead "accidents" -Why your value is NOT finding the house -What sellers want and why they're moving -How long sellers are staying in their homes -Why referrals and repeat clients still dominate -The truth about FSBO (and the $120K difference 👀) -Why being the first agent matters more than being the best -How to use this data to guide your marketing and systems

One of the biggest takeaways? Most clients work with the FIRST agent they meet—not the best one on paper. If you're not showing up early, you're missing opportunities.
