Transcript
- 0:00Did you know you can create money freedom at any brokerage just by basically
- 0:04trading your time for more income earned?
- 0:08The truth is, is that real financial freedom.
- 0:10You must have money freedom, but you also must have time freedom.
- 0:14Time freedom is often overlooked and there's only one brokerage
- 0:17that you can create both time freedom and money freedom.
- 0:20We're gonna talk about it next.
- 0:27What's up guys?
- 0:28Coach Kane Real Estate Agent Playbook.
- 0:30Very interested to see what you guys think of this episode.
- 0:34time Freedom verse verse, money, freedom and truly creating Ultimate
- 0:39Financial Freedom as we go.
- 0:42This is something that I had to listen to and hear Mike and Connor
- 0:46talk about multiple times before I really grasped the importance of
- 0:50time and time being finite, right?
- 0:53We only have so much time, we can't get time back, so we must protect our
- 0:57time and when we really step back and look at it, The exp brokerage model
- 1:03is the only model in the industry that allows you to create time and money
- 1:08freedom without a lot of headaches.
- 1:10So I can't wait to talk about it, but as always, like, comment, subscribe.
- 1:15If you're listening on the podcast, please share with your
- 1:17favorite real estate agent.
- 1:18Grow that community.
- 1:19Leave me a review.
- 1:20Would love to, really, you know, connect with as many real estate agents and help
- 1:25as many real estate agents win every single day at the game of real estate.
- 1:29So when it comes to money freedom, most agents have a number in their head
- 1:33where they're like, oh, if I could make 250,000 or 500,000, you know, in a year,
- 1:38that would, that would really set me free and I'd be set as a competitor.
- 1:43I've been there and I've set these big, hairy, audacious goals as people
- 1:47call them, and then I've reached them and I'm like, oh, I want to, I
- 1:50want to go for the next checkpoint.
- 1:52I want to go for the next mile marker.
- 1:54And the truth is, all I have to do in the real estate industry is ta
- 1:57trade my time spent, you know, in income producing activities, and
- 2:02typically my, my income would increase.
- 2:05That's at least what, how it works for me.
- 2:07However, when I really thought about wealth and, and talking about the
- 2:12ultimate, you know, freedom, so to speak.
- 2:14It's my time that I really should be focusing on and guarding.
- 2:18And if I continue to have to trade my time in order to increase my income, the truth
- 2:24is that's not really freedom because I have no time to, you know, spend and enjoy
- 2:30my life and enjoy my, my wealth because I'm constantly trying to put more time
- 2:36into, to keep that needle moving forward.
- 2:39So the ultimate.
- 2:40Financial freedom is when I no longer have to invest my time in
- 2:44order to, you know, generate income.
- 2:47And that is the ultimate freedom.
- 2:50And where I now understand I need to go, and the good news is I'm at the
- 2:55right place at the exp Realty that will allow me to do that and provide.
- 3:00Both of these freedoms in order for ultimate freedom
- 3:03to show its light in my life.
- 3:05So when we step back, we all know realtors have to, you know, continue
- 3:09to work endless hours and, you know, it's almost impossible to free up time.
- 3:14And you could be a managing broker, but then you have all the, you
- 3:17know, All the broker hats to wear, and that's not really time freedom.
- 3:21It is leveraging other people that, you know, take a portion of their
- 3:24money and, you know, whatever.
- 3:26You could start a team or that's not necessarily as as much responsibility
- 3:30as a broker, but again, you're giving away money in order to increase your
- 3:34income at a, at a limited rate, right?
- 3:37Because you hire somebody to show houses, you have to pay 'em 50% of the commission.
- 3:42You don't have to do it.
- 3:42You're still getting 50%.
- 3:44Right, but you still have to have the time invested in training them and, and
- 3:48maybe following up and, you know, so on.
- 3:50If you're usually a team lead, you still have a part, a cog in the wheel.
- 3:55And truthfully, you're still putting time in and now you're even sharing
- 3:58your profit with these other people in order to make this happen.
- 4:01So you may sell hundreds of houses, but really it's like
- 4:06selling 70 houses on your own.
- 4:09If you sell a hundred houses with a team, You know, as, as
- 4:12those commissions, lets go.
- 4:14And so the truth is that's, that's really not a way to leverage.
- 4:17And other people will say, oh, what about rental properties?
- 4:19Like just, you know, continue to earn money, trade your time
- 4:22for money, get more income.
- 4:24Put it in income properties.
- 4:26When income properties aren't passive.
- 4:27You know, you have.
- 4:28Toilets, termites, you know, tenants, all the things, vacancies and, and so
- 4:34you're, you're constantly having to do, you know, put in the work and trade your
- 4:38time or share some of your profit, pay someone else to take care of those things.
- 4:43And so that's truly not a passive income either, because you really
- 4:49are having to put that in to, you know, The stress or help having
- 4:54someone pay for it on their end.
- 4:56And so when we really look at this exp brokerage model, well,
- 5:01well what are you saying, Jeremy?
- 5:02You have to, you know, bring agents in.
- 5:05The truth is you bring agents in, you know, and you can teach them to duplicate
- 5:09and teach them to bring other agents in.
- 5:11And eventually there's agents closing deals that maybe
- 5:13you haven't even talked to.
- 5:15Maybe they've just watched your trainings or you know, maybe not right.
- 5:19And seven tiers deep.
- 5:21You know, if you've built a, the proper organization and you know,
- 5:24everybody has kind of their spot and they're doing what they're good at.
- 5:28You know, I was talking to an agent today with, with my sponsor, Louie,
- 5:32and he was just like, okay, well Jeremy has this value and I have this
- 5:35value and Mike has this value and I can't offer what Mike does and.
- 5:39And Jeremy can't offer what Mike does, but Mike can't offer what Jeremy does,
- 5:43and Louis can't offer what Jeremy does.
- 5:45So in, in essence, we have a really good value stack, that you get
- 5:49absolutely for free by joining our group.
- 5:52And then all of a sudden, you know, you start to see things duplicate and
- 5:55you start to see other agents bring on other agents and all of a sudden
- 5:59there's other agents closing deals and, you know, you may hang out with them
- 6:02at, at a get together or something, but you are not truly investing your time.
- 6:07In order to earn that income because of the EXP model.
- 6:11And you say, well, that seems like, you know, a pyramid scheme, right?
- 6:14That's what everyone says.
- 6:15The truth is, we're not taking any money from that agent.
- 6:18The agent is on an 80 20 split, just like I am from a $10,000 commission.
- 6:23That agent gets $8,000, exp gets 2000 of EXPs money.
- 6:28You know, if they're on my, you know, first tier, I'm gonna get.
- 6:32$350, a $10,000 commission, and then Louis's gonna get $400 from the
- 6:36$10,000 commission and so on, so forth.
- 6:39And so as you can see, I could actually eventually, if I'm,
- 6:44you know, build an organization and I provide the value and I.
- 6:47You know, retain those agents.
- 6:49I can eventually step away from the business train, you know, here and
- 6:53there, release some YouTube videos, whatever, and those agents are,
- 6:57are learning and I'm, you know, pouring into them in, in my own way.
- 7:01And they're continuing the to produce.
- 7:04And then that agent goes in and brings on another agent and another agent.
- 7:08You never know, you know who that next Mike Sheard might be.
- 7:11But as you can see here, the power of the model and truly.
- 7:16At some point I could step outta production, I can replace my income with,
- 7:20with the revenue share, you know, and the stock options and all of the things.
- 7:25And eventually it'll, it'll get to a point where you're like, holy cow, that's crazy.
- 7:31And when you look at other commission split models, you
- 7:33can check this video right here.
- 7:35I did on other commission split models.
- 7:37That's great.
- 7:38That's just one side of this.
- 7:40Beast and you have revenue share and stock options and, and then you still have a
- 7:44very competitive commission split model.
- 7:47Not to mention it has a cap and not to mention if you're a top producer, you
- 7:50get that cap back with the ICON award.
- 7:52So truly a brokerage where.
- 7:55You know, you can have your, your normal income, you can trade your time for,
- 8:00for money, but you can also build a residual or passive, I guess, residual
- 8:04income based on the revenue share model.
- 8:06And that's something that's absolutely key in creating time
- 8:10freedom for yourself and ultimately setting yourself financially free.
- 8:14So when you're looking at this, a lot of other models have.
- 8:17I've tried to duplicate it, but the thing that sets exp is still the gold
- 8:21standard, is truly those other models are not true exit strategies At exp, I could
- 8:27literally stop producing real estate, stop selling, you know, homes to buyers and
- 8:33sellers, and stop earning that commission.
- 8:36And I can just focus on building my organization.
- 8:39I could, you know, still get the benefits of the revenue share without
- 8:42producing, which is the key nuance that exp is still the only one to my
- 8:47knowledge, that provides revenue share.
- 8:50That you don't have to be actively producing.
- 8:52In fact, You know, recently exp launched the referral division in
- 8:57which you can park your license.
- 8:59In the commercial division, you don't have to be a part of a realtor board,
- 9:02and you don't have to pay for an mls.
- 9:05You can't actively sell.
- 9:06If you, if you do get a client, you can refer 'em out and
- 9:09there's a split with that.
- 9:11The, the monthly cloud fee reduces to $50 a month.
- 9:15But you can still earn revenue share.
- 9:17You can still take part in the, you know, health insurance and you can still
- 9:21refer, you know, deals out to other agents and, and get a referral fee cuz
- 9:26your license is still technically active.
- 9:29And so that's pretty impressive.
- 9:31Truly the only way.
- 9:33That you can exit the real estate business.
- 9:35As the old staying goes, real estate agents don't retire, they expire.
- 9:40I'm on a mission to absolutely change that.
- 9:42ANPs model is the only one that provides you the opportunity to have money freedom.
- 9:49Time freedom, ultimate financial freedom.
- 9:52And an exit strategy.
- 9:53We want you to retire and not expire.
- 9:56So I hope this helped.
