Realtor Training Classes – Beware of the Expert

For my 1st blog post of 2016 (sorry for taking so long) I want to discuss the early year Realtor training classes and how I see many agents get exposed to “bad and inaccurate” information.  I teach real estate marketing classes all over Northern Virginia, have active content on this website, write for Inman.com, and post [...]

How to Gain More Referrals from your Real Estate Database

Your real estate data base…which I like to call your “Data-Bank,” is the best place to market and find gold!  There are many different ways to gain more referrals from your real estate database, but I want to talk about a “strategic plan” of steps to make that happen.  Christmas is here, so now is [...]

The Major Differences Between Real Estate Leads vs Prospects

There is one thing that I hear consistently from real estate agents…they just need more Leads! “Wade…if I just had more leads, I would have a lot more business to send you.” The big myth in the real estate business is that more leads = more business. Not true. The word “Leads” gets thrown around way too [...]

Transactional Agent vs Relationship Agent-Which One are You?

The transactional agent vs relationship agent, there are many differences.  Yes, they are both real estate agents, but HOW they conduct and generate their business is drastically different. Having worked with hundreds of Realtors over my 10yrs in the Title business, it is easy to see which agents are more transactional and which are [...]

Real Estate Lead Generation – Don’t Let Call Reluctance Stop You!

We all have “call reluctance” from time to time.  You know, that little voice in your head that tells you not to make that call to an expired listing, FSBO, or hard to deal with client.  When it comes to real estate lead generation this is usually the #1 thing Realtors need to get [...]

Real Estate Email Marketing-What if Someone Unsubscribes?

When I first got into the Title Insurance business back in 2005, I learned quickly that sending out blast emails to promote my business or services was part of the game. Same for Realtors and Lenders, to promote events, listings, real estate news and more. But what if someone on your target list or [...]

Protect Your Real Estate Brand By Googling Your Name

Do you ever Google your own name? What do you find? Many people think that it is "vain" to Google your own name, but I can tell you that when you are a real estate agent or mortgage lender it is a MUST!  You work hard to promote and sell your "Brand," but you [...]
