2:54
Speaker 3: Matt, Yeah, yeah, it's I mean there's a lot of rewards,
2:57
Speaker 3: you know, in working in real estate. I think that
3:00
Speaker 3: you know, all the different TV shows with realtors and such,
3:03
Speaker 3: it really gets people excited about the experience. You know.
3:06
Speaker 3: I've had a number of people that you know, reached
3:09
Speaker 3: out just recently, even I've had previous clients reach out
3:12
Speaker 3: about possibly switching careers. Right I had a lot of
3:16
Speaker 3: friends ask you know, well, do you think do you
3:18
Speaker 3: think I'd be good as a realtor. I've been thinking
3:20
Speaker 3: about it, so yeah, I just thought it might be
3:22
Speaker 3: good just to chat on, you know, what it's like
3:25
Speaker 3: to be a realtor, some of the struggles you know
3:28
Speaker 3: that are involved, you know, maybe what sort of type
3:31
Speaker 3: of person it takes. And then you know what we've
3:34
Speaker 3: done at Rock Realty to try to make it as
3:36
Speaker 3: easy as possible and help our agents be as successful
3:39
Speaker 3: as possible.
3:40
Speaker 1: Let's talk about kind of that top headline. I think
3:42
Speaker 1: for a lot of folks in real estate, we understand
3:45
Speaker 1: markets change. It's it's something that that every single day,
3:49
Speaker 1: every single week, every single month, is you're probably approaching
3:52
Speaker 1: things a little bit different. That market volatility definitely is
3:54
Speaker 1: part of the career, isn't it. Sure?
3:56
Speaker 2: Sure?
3:57
Speaker 3: I mean, over the years that I've been in real estate,
3:59
Speaker 3: there's been ass have changes throughout the market. You know,
4:03
Speaker 3: bought our first house over twenty years ago now and
4:07
Speaker 3: got into you know, the real state site of the
4:11
Speaker 3: business back in like seven, started Rock Realty, you know eight,
4:16
Speaker 3: So you know, I've seen a lot of different markets
4:18
Speaker 3: right started the business, right in the Great Recession as
4:22
Speaker 3: they call it, and you know saw the downs and
4:25
Speaker 3: the ups. So market volatility is a really a real thing.
4:29
Speaker 3: I think that we've had a lot of consistent upward
4:33
Speaker 3: momentum right over the last decade or so, but at
4:38
Speaker 3: any time, you can have a turn and you have
4:40
Speaker 3: to be able to adjust to that.
4:41
Speaker 1: What about like just the overall you know, we obviously
4:45
Speaker 1: volatility and fluctuation is some of that's a little unpredictable.
4:49
Speaker 1: Seasonal that is pretty predictable, is sure.
4:52
Speaker 3: Sure, especially in our area. You know, when you're down
4:54
Speaker 3: into Florida. I mean, they still have a seasonal swing, right,
4:58
Speaker 3: but it's a less.
5:00
Speaker 1: Uh less aggressive stress.
5:01
Speaker 3: So I would say that, Yeah, the slowest months in
5:04
Speaker 3: general that we've we've seen over the years, you know, December, January,
5:09
Speaker 3: February kind of like the the three that that slow
5:12
Speaker 3: down the most. Most people, you know, get hunkered down
5:16
Speaker 3: in their house and watch watch a bit more TV
5:19
Speaker 3: and they're not out shopping for homes, that's for sure.
5:21
Speaker 1: It's that is the reality of it. As we talked

6:18
Speaker 3: nose to the grindstone. That aren't you know, one week
6:22
Speaker 3: in and then take a week or two and kind
6:24
Speaker 3: of lay back a bit, right, you know, when when
6:27
Speaker 3: when you're in a situation where you can have almost
6:29

6:32
Speaker 3: to be good with your money, and then you also

6:40
Speaker 1: Is Doctor this Morning with Matt Heytman of Rockrealty, the
6:42
Speaker 1: website Rock Wisconsin dot com. That's Rock r O c
6:45
Speaker 1: K Wisconsin dot com. Talking this week about working in
6:48
Speaker 1: real estate and there's a lot of competition out there
6:51
Speaker 1: as well, isn't there.
6:52
Speaker 2: Matt Yeah, yeah, it's a competitive field. I think that
6:56
Speaker 2: you know it.
6:58
Speaker 3: There's a lot of part time ade so if you
7:00
Speaker 3: will right, but to be a successful full time real
7:04
Speaker 3: estate agent, it takes it takes hard work, takes dedication,
7:07
Speaker 3: and it takes some time investment over a long period.
7:10
Speaker 3: You have to be in it for the long haul
7:12
Speaker 3: because you have to continue to build that client base,
7:15
Speaker 3: build build those previous you know, raving fans of you
7:19
Speaker 3: that are going to be referring other people to or
7:21
Speaker 3: coming back to and they're ready to sell her by again.
7:24
Speaker 3: So it's it's competitive, and it takes the right kind
7:29
Speaker 3: of person that's willing to have hard work as well
7:32
Speaker 3: as persevere through that and and just be committed to
7:37
Speaker 3: the fact that they want to be in real estate
7:38
Speaker 3: as a full time agent.
7:39
Speaker 1: And not only are you competing against other agents, you're
7:41
Speaker 1: also competing against other platforms, the internets out there. Now
7:45
Speaker 1: is it used to be probably back in the day,
7:47
Speaker 1: is if somebody called that you know, called your number
7:50
Speaker 1: on that sign, you got it your set. Now there
7:53
Speaker 1: are so many other venues you really got to work
7:55
Speaker 1: hard to make those connections you mentioned. I'm going to
7:57
Speaker 1: guess word of mouth is probably huge.
8:00
Speaker 3: Word of mouth is definitely huge. I think that those
8:03
Speaker 3: online platforms do tend to kind of take away clients
8:08
Speaker 3: sometimes because people don't realize that if they're just requesting
8:12
Speaker 3: a showing, they might you know, end up being committed
8:15
Speaker 3: to a different agent and you know, they're on the
8:16
Speaker 3: showing and they say, yeah, but my brother is a
8:18
Speaker 3: realtor and I want to use him, you know, And
8:21
Speaker 3: so it can it can be a little complex sometimes,
8:23
Speaker 3: but yeah, it's uh, you know, the competition is not
8:26
Speaker 3: only from you know, other agents in the field, but
8:28
Speaker 3: through the online platforms like you mentioned.
8:30
Speaker 1: And I know, and I think for the certain a
8:32
Speaker 1: certain type of person competition actually is very you know,
8:35
Speaker 1: that's a that's a motivator for a lot of people
8:38
Speaker 1: to say, you know what is not only do I
8:40
Speaker 1: want to be financially successful, but personally I like success.
8:44
Speaker 1: I like seeing people benefit from from my services and competition.
8:49
Speaker 1: It's always, to me, seems to be always a really good,
8:51
Speaker 1: really healthy thing. What about we talk about education to
8:54
Speaker 1: become a real estate agent, get to get a license
8:58
Speaker 1: is one thing, but then also understanding current market conditions,
9:04
Speaker 1: those type of things. But also there's more to it.
9:06
Speaker 1: There's there's legal requirements and other things, aren't there, man?
9:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, just like pretty much any field, there's
9:12
Speaker 3: more and more paperwork over the years, right. I think
9:14
Speaker 3: the offer to purchase, you know, fifteen twenty years ago
9:17
Speaker 3: was two pages. You know, we're up to eleven or fourteen,
9:21
Speaker 3: depending on which offer you're writing. It's a good thing because,
9:25
Speaker 3: you know, the more situations that come up where we
9:29
Speaker 3: need some clarification, we need some extra protection, maybe some
9:32
Speaker 3: extra contingencies, they're throwing that into the offer. I would
9:35
Speaker 3: say that Wisconsin's ahead of most states and just being
9:39
Speaker 3: very forward thinking in their contracts, you know, but it
9:44
Speaker 3: is something that requires more education, continuing education, and as
9:50
Speaker 3: a realtor or as a real estate agent in Wisconsin,
9:53
Speaker 3: you do have to go to continuing education and go
9:56
Speaker 3: through classes every two years. But you know at Rock
9:59
Speaker 3: real do we do of weekly you know, trainings and
10:03
Speaker 3: we try to stay on top of everything like that.

Speaker 3: get beat out by someone that's doing cash and no
11:01
Speaker 3: contingencies right and dealing with the ups and the downs
11:05
Speaker 3: of real estate. It's really a huge factor, probably.

Speaker 1: it comes to those type of challenges that we talk about.
13:41
Speaker 1: You guys really give folks the tools to overcome anything
13:46
Speaker 1: that comes their way.
13:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, we definitely try to.
13:49
Speaker 3: When we originally set up the firm, we wanted to
13:51
Speaker 3: concentrate on a certain number of things just to make
13:54
Speaker 3: sure every agent has a chance for success, and we
13:58
Speaker 3: concentrated on training, opportunity, and support. And when looking around
14:04
Speaker 3: at other firms, you know, there were many firms that
14:06
Speaker 3: did two out of the free very good, but we
14:08
Speaker 3: wanted to see if we could build a firm that
14:11
Speaker 3: had all three right. So, I guess, you know, starting
14:14
Speaker 3: with training.
14:15
Speaker 2: You know, as we.
14:16
Speaker 3: Discussed earlier, you know, the industry is always changing, The
14:20
Speaker 3: contracts are changing, the situation is changing, legal court cases
14:24
Speaker 3: change things, and and we wanted to make sure that
14:27
Speaker 3: our agents stayed up to date.
14:29
Speaker 2: So with with.
14:30
Speaker 3: Training, what we do is obviously we've got monthly education topics,
14:34
Speaker 3: but we also have weekly meetings to discuss the latest
14:37
Speaker 3: things that are working in the market. We've got individual
14:41
Speaker 3: what we call Rock Pods. They're a little small groups.
14:43
Speaker 2: That work together.
14:45
Speaker 3: They can kind of you know, learn together, you know,
14:49
Speaker 3: share their experiences together, and kind of a closer knit
14:52
Speaker 3: group for staying up to date. And then we also
14:56
Speaker 3: have online web based training modules and such for onboarding
15:00
Speaker 3: and continuing education and such.
15:02
Speaker 1: Let's talk about those opportunities some of the initiatives as well.
15:04
Speaker 1: But I with Rock Realty is getting the word out
15:09
Speaker 1: also is huge. And that's one of the nice things
15:12
Speaker 1: with Rock Realty is you suddenly when you're when you're
15:14
Speaker 1: an agent with Rock Realty, the world opens up a
15:17
Speaker 1: lot of different different access points. Really open up to you,
15:20
Speaker 1: don't they.
15:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely.
15:22
Speaker 3: You know, we recently started radio ads to actually help
15:25
Speaker 3: advertise our listings on the radio, which is something I
15:28
Speaker 3: haven't heard other firms do. So we're excited about that.
15:30
Speaker 3: We're excited about the exposure that could possibly get, you know,
15:34
Speaker 3: getting a hold of people that didn't necessarily know they
15:36
Speaker 3: were even in the market until they heard about a listing.
15:39
Speaker 3: So but you know, some of the other things is,
15:42
Speaker 3: you know, being a realtor, there's only so many friends
15:44
Speaker 3: and family, you know, and you know, the last thing
15:46
Speaker 3: you want to do is always be bugging your friends
15:48
Speaker 3: and family. So from the get go when we when
15:51
Speaker 3: we started the firm and O eight, we concentrated on
15:53
Speaker 3: bringing in leads for our agent, right bringing in buyers
15:58
Speaker 3: and seller leads. And you know, we've expanded that network
16:01
Speaker 3: pretty large.
16:01
Speaker 2: At this point.
16:03
Speaker 3: You know, we're one of the exclusive partners with realtor
16:07
Speaker 3: to come for Sure for instance, and you know a number,
16:12
Speaker 3: you know, hundreds per month of live leads come through
16:17
Speaker 3: and go right to our agents, so the buyers and
16:19
Speaker 3: sellers can be connected immediately with Rock Realty agents and
16:22
Speaker 3: that's really helped help them, you know, have a lot
16:26
Speaker 3: more success, help them find buyers for their listings, and
16:31
Speaker 3: in general, we've probably got you know, five hundred, six
16:34
Speaker 3: hundred new leads coming in every month. Wow, some months
16:38
Speaker 3: are closer to a thousand. And Yeah, that's really helped
16:41
Speaker 3: us and selling our listings, and it's helped us and
16:44
Speaker 3: filling our agent's plates so they can find success in
16:46
Speaker 3: real estate.
16:47
Speaker 1: Does that help you to, by the way, be a
16:48
Speaker 1: little more discriminating when it comes to putting that team together.
16:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, definitely. You know, what we're learning is, you know,
16:56
Speaker 3: the agents that find the most success are those that
16:58
Speaker 3: you're either full time in it or they're looking to
17:01
Speaker 3: be full time and so they're putting in the effort
17:03
Speaker 3: to do that. So in general, we're trying to look for,
17:07
Speaker 3: you know, full time agents or agents that are looking
17:10
Speaker 3: to go to the next level and be able to
17:12
Speaker 3: be full time.
