As we draw closer to a Presidential election, we also enter a time where Realtors get blocked or unfriended on social media. Why? They just can’t control themselves when it comes to their favorite political candidate, social cause, and their every random thought. Doing this can cause Realtors and lenders to lose business and [...]
Are you using Facebook ads as part of your online/social media marketing strategy? If not, you may want to think again. Facebook ads are far more powerful to reach a “target audience” than using your Facebook timeline/Friends list. By 2017, the amount of people in the United States on Facebook is projected to be [...]
If you have followed my website and YouTube channel for any length of time, you know that I’m a HUGE fan of real estate video. Four years ago when I first started shooting videos for my target audience of Realtors and mortgage lenders, I didn’t know what would come of it and IF it [...]
As I keep teaching all kinds of real estate marketing and technology related classes throughout Northern Virginia, we are talking more and more about real estate video. In today’s world, it is a topic that really can no longer be avoided. So as Realtors are starting to face that implementing video into their business [...]
The Spring market is arriving and that means a few things. Business is about to start booming and…Realtor Broker Opens! When I first moved to the Washington DC/Northern VA area in 2012 I didn’t know what a “Broker Open” was as this was something agents didn’t really do in Phoenix, AZ. I quickly find [...]
In any job, the feeling of "burnout" hits from time to time.

That feeling where fatigue hits and we need that extra motivation to keep going at a high level. I have [...]
YouTube is a very powerful tool for anyone who takes advantage and uses it. I can personally say that the decision I made to shoot videos for my business was a “game changer.” It got eyes to me, my value proposition and it allowed prospects to “meet me” before I ever met them. Very [...]
I was meeting with someone last week and he said: “If Title Companies stopped bringing bagels and donuts to Realtor offices, bakeries would go out of business!” We had a chuckle but the more I thought about it, then I agreed with him. In many markets around the country, the Title Insurance Sales Rep behaves [...]
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 [...]
December has arrived! That means many things in our business. Holiday parties, gifts, drinking and food. It also means that it’s time to get prioritized and your business plan together for the next year. Yes, I know that EVERYONE talks about these things at this time of the year but guess what??
