- 0:36excited for this one because as you guys know
- 0:39I love organic lead generation and real estate growth
- 0:42and this is exactly in my wheelhouse
- 0:45these are things that I have done
- 0:47I myself haven't fully executed to the highest level
- 0:51on any of these strategies
- 0:53but I am trying to hold myself accountable
- 0:57and I know that if I do fully execute on these
- 1:00they will absolutely work
- 1:01because just partial execution has helped me
- 1:05absolutely level up my game over my 11 year career
- 1:08so let's dive into that but first
- 1:10like comment subscribe if this video helps you
- 1:12if you have any comments
- 1:14if you wanna put something down there
- 1:15and you wanna be held accountable
- 1:16I'm here for it
- 1:17that's what we do here at the Real State Agent Playbook
- 1:20hopefully to get you a win today and every day
- 1:23in the game of Real State
- 1:25let's go alright so strategy No. 1 my try and true
- 1:28this is the one that I execute almost to the fullest
- 1:31here is my annual reviews
- 1:33I need to be better about getting every single
- 1:36one of my past clients
- 1:37an annual review that's bought a home
- 1:38that's in the home that they purchased
- 1:40but I am fully executing on most of these things
- 1:44I provide an annual review not a CMA shotgun approach
- 1:48but an interview for every one of my clients
- 1:50I feel that as a real estate agent
- 1:52if you are a professional
- 1:54you are in a position to help your clients
- 1:57past clients people that own homes
- 1:59manage the most
- 2:01expensive asset that most people have
- 2:03in their entire lifetime that's our home
- 2:06and so we meet with our financial planners
- 2:07as our stock accounts you know
- 2:09start little and grow hopefully bigger um for you
- 2:13but we don't really do this in homes
- 2:15and we just kind of talk about the value
- 2:17and all the things
- 2:18but we don't look at these other options
- 2:20and how to actually manage this
- 2:21and how to season this and
- 2:23and the things that we
- 2:24we do talk about our to our financial planner
- 2:27the truth is
- 2:27financial planners have very limited knowledge on
- 2:30the housing market how that works as an investment
- 2:33I mean they'll put it into your plan for the most part
- 2:36and absolutely it's not across the board
- 2:38but all the ones I've talked to
- 2:40kind of leave it to us as professionals
- 2:42and we fail to carry that
- 2:45you know opportunity to serve our clients forward
- 2:47so simple strategy I just have the
- 2:50you know estimated market value
- 2:52doesn't have to be super dialed in
- 2:54you know plus or minus 25 k
- 2:56the whole point of this is not to have
- 2:58the person that were sitting in front of lists
- 2:59their house then I talk about the equity position
- 3:02then I talk about how we can utilize that equity
- 3:05are the we in the right loan
- 3:06do we have the you know
- 3:08best insurance policy for our current situation
- 3:11have we updated our insurance policy
- 3:13are there contractors
- 3:14are there people that I can connect
- 3:15these homeowners too that are in my vendor list
- 3:19that if I connect with them more and more clients
- 3:22they're gonna
- 3:23connect me with more and more of their sphere
- 3:25in their clients so that's kind of the the take home
- 3:28then I talk a little bit about my generational wealth
- 3:31building uh
- 3:32do we have anything earmarked for these you know
- 3:35for this equity paying for college
- 3:37paying for my daughter's weddings
- 3:38all the things that kind of relate to me
- 3:41but it's just an annual review of all the things house
- 3:45this provides me so many opportunities
- 3:47connect my clients with people that I
- 3:50you know know like and trust already right
- 3:53contractors designers
- 3:55you know people that run community businesses
- 3:57and if I can make those connections
- 3:59and those people in the community
- 4:01and those small business owners
- 4:02know that I'm pushing their business
- 4:04they're also gonna push mine
- 4:05so that's you know
- 4:06the annual review strategy
- 4:08I typically provide all of my clients in their home
- 4:11anniversary month uh
- 4:13I send them uh
- 4:14crumble cookies order they get the crumble cookies
- 4:17I say it's time for your annual review
- 4:18here's a link to you know
- 4:20let's connect and take 30 minutes of time
- 4:23and you know
- 4:24for the most part they
- 4:25they respond or they don't and
- 4:27you know kind of goes from there
- 4:28so I need to be better about getting all of them done
- 4:31because just that 30 minutes could be my
- 4:34entirely generation for the entire year
- 4:37if I just serve the past clients that I have
- 4:39with an actual item of value
- 4:41that specific to them that's not just like
- 4:44oh here's your CMA
- 4:45this is what your house is worth
- 4:46because we don't often understand that
- 4:49equity is basically non liquid
- 4:52and it really isn't in our bank account
- 4:54so we can we can certainly be educational on that front
- 4:59and help our clients do that
- 5:01so that strategy No. 1
- 5:02I do turn it into a listing opportunity
- 5:05um at the end
- 5:05because I just say
- 5:06if anyone's asking you these questions
- 5:08asking about home improvements
- 5:09asking about their you know
- 5:11market value or whatever please let me know
- 5:13I would be happy to do this free service for them
- 5:15and get them all dialed in right
- 5:17so that's me asking for a referral by me just saying
- 5:21I'll do this for all of the people that you love
- 5:23in your circle that are talking to you
- 5:26um about you know
- 5:28home improvements or putting the house in the market
- 5:30their homes value or anything like that
- 5:31so
- 5:32this is where it really turns into a massive referral
- 5:34opportunity as well
- 5:36when I'm managing my clients
- 5:38asset through the life of their time at the home
- 5:41hopefully my contractors earn their
- 5:43my designers and all the things
- 5:45so
- 5:45I have a beautiful product to list when the time comes
- 5:48alright now No. 2 a listing centric program right
- 5:52we've all heard about the first time
- 5:54home buyer programs and the first responder programs
- 5:57and all of these things but you can have a first
- 6:01you know time seller
- 6:03program or a downsize program
- 6:06where you're really serving a need of a population that
- 6:12you know is likely the list of home
- 6:14so some ideas would include maybe a downsizing
- 6:19home selling program right
- 6:22you can you're gonna list the house
- 6:24but you're also gonna provide
- 6:25you know cleaning and staging
- 6:26move out cleaning and staging right
- 6:28if you're serving the elderly population where there
- 6:31you know maybe moving out um
- 6:33of the home into
- 6:34you know their next place an assisted living
- 6:37a main floor thing whatever that is
- 6:39they've been in the home for a long time
- 6:40maybe you offer some sort of
- 6:43you know curbio
- 6:44or some sort of improvement piece in the downsizing
- 6:48homeselling program that you can create
- 6:50so what I want you to do is create a program
- 6:54that's based on a population
- 6:56that is likely to list their home right
- 6:59we obviously know death divorce
- 7:02relocation for job
- 7:04those kind of things are likely to create listenings
- 7:09right a
- 7:10you know young family
- 7:12you know you wouldn't say young family
- 7:13but a move up seller program
- 7:15or something along those lines
- 7:17that's really targeted right
- 7:18where maybe you are looking at okay
- 7:21these people had one kid I just saw it on Facebook
- 7:23they're having another like
- 7:25maybe there's a program that you can fit in
- 7:27that's going to meet that growing family
- 7:30or maybe this family has an aging
- 7:33you know parent that's looking to move into their home
- 7:36well that's likely a chance where
- 7:38you know there's that
- 7:39so maybe it's a multigenerational um
- 7:42home processor program or whatever that looks like
- 7:46so creating a program that's based around
- 7:48somebody that has a home to sell is absolutely huge
- 7:53so kind of look at these populations
- 7:54see what you like to serve
- 7:55what you can do there's all kinds of certifications
- 7:58I'm not a huge fan of the over certification piece
- 8:02but if that's the case we can absolutely do that right
- 8:05I have you know
- 8:07an agent in my organization
- 8:08and she does a flawless job of doing a
- 8:11you know sell then buy
- 8:14you know kind of programming
- 8:16she does a great job with that
- 8:17she gets a lot of you know
- 8:18sellers and buyers with that program
- 8:20she has a guide she's marketed everything to it
- 8:22she calls it something specific
- 8:24and it's been great for her
- 8:27so once we can kind of create those programs
- 8:30that we usually kind of connect with home buyers
- 8:33unbeknownst to us
- 8:35even though we wanna be listing agents
- 8:36this is where we can really make that step forward
- 8:39and connect with people that own homes
- 8:41and actually sell their home for them
- 8:43and finally it's a modern neighborhood adoption program
- 8:47we're not talking about just sending out flyers
- 8:50every single year doing the Turkey Trot or whatever
- 8:54right we're talking about an entire
- 8:56all encompassing marketing strategy for a neighborhood
- 9:00what should this include
- 9:01I would start with a social media group for sure
- 9:04um people are a little bit burned out on the next store
- 9:07stuff so you wanna kind of keep it um
- 9:10you know positive in a way
- 9:11any way you can you can do fun things
- 9:13you can you know
- 9:14but you want to have a place where everybody can easily
- 9:17you know clock into so to speak
- 9:20so that you can absolutely extend invites to events
- 9:25small group gatherings like
- 9:27you know niche gatherings within the neighborhood
- 9:29moms nights dads nights
- 9:30whatever that looks like
- 9:31but if you can have a hub or a Facebook group
- 9:34specifically where most people are on
- 9:37that you can kind of talk about the things
- 9:39and people can say hey
- 9:41you know I'm doing this
- 9:42can you watch this or whatever um
- 9:44where people can connect
- 9:45where neighbors can connect a safe space
- 9:47hopefully it doesn't become
- 9:49you know a bicker fest like some of those other ones
- 9:52but this is the first step to this
- 9:54but then we're driving everything to it right
- 9:56we're doing small events I have some great friends
- 9:58some agents in my organization
- 10:00that do an amazing job with this
- 10:02whether it's Christmas light
- 10:04um contest or Easter egg hunts where uh
- 10:07the actual agent goes out and puts a
- 10:09you know entire Easter egg hunt together in
- 10:13the front yards of the homes
- 10:14in the community
- 10:15a lot of different ideas that you can do
- 10:18around certain holidays depending on the location
- 10:20depending on you know
- 10:21the population and what people are into in that area
- 10:25right also partnering with local businesses doing
- 10:28you know night trivia nights at the brewery
- 10:30local brewery all of those things
- 10:32are things that you can put into this
- 10:34you know kind of neighborhood takeover that
- 10:37you know will all go back to that Facebook group right
- 10:41hey the dads are all going here
- 10:43the moms are all going here
- 10:44the kids you know
- 10:45movie night in the park here right
- 10:47because obviously
- 10:48not one neighborhood's gonna be one thing
- 10:50but you can absolutely dial in those small
- 10:54you know niche events into the neighborhood group
- 10:58where it really starts to gain steam
- 11:01creates community which is absolutely huge
- 11:03and then unfortunately when someone wants to move away
- 11:06they're gonna think of you and they're gonna be like
- 11:08oh I'm so sad that I'm leaving this neighborhood
- 11:10cause this agent has done so well
- 11:11or maybe they just move up the next block
- 11:13higher on the hill and get that bigger house
- 11:16you never know but this is absolutely a piece that
- 11:19if we really dedicate to people all the time
- 11:22still in my business I don't ever lose listings to this
- 11:25but people are like well
- 11:27you know should we interview the neighborhood
- 11:29you know expert
- 11:30and the truth is that they're not doing these things
- 11:33are not even having these engaging pieces
- 11:35but they constantly
- 11:36for years and years and years have been sending
- 11:38you know a calendar on this day
- 11:40and putting flags up on this day and all the things
- 11:44and so you have the opportunity
- 11:46to bring a little bit more value
- 11:47than just putting a sign in a yard
- 11:49and saying okay
- 11:50get out of my neighborhood right
- 11:52so those are things that can work
- 11:53so any three of these things
- 11:55if you fully execute on
- 11:57you're gonna be in front of homeowners
- 11:59and communities that you want to be
- 12:02the beauty of it all is
- 12:04you can really focus and make it um
