It was a pleasure having the CEO of MMS Management in New York City, Andrew Barrocas, as a guest on my podcast show! What an awesome way to start out the year 2017! The New Year signifies a clean slate. The chance to start fresh with new goals and aspirations for our businesses and our personal lives, but how do we reach those goals? How do we hold ourselves accountable?
As a prominently respected real estate authority in the city of New York, Andrew has sold over 5 billion dollars worth of real estate property during the course of his career. That’s quite the feat! So how did he do it?!? Andrew shared with us the value of having an accountability partner or coach. Someone that holds you accountable and ensures you are on the right track to COMPLETING your goals throughout the year. You don’t need someone that will give you the thumbs up and go about their day, but someone that is willing to challenge you and push you to do everything you set your mind out to do.
So often our big list of goals we want to accomplish at the start of the year ranges anywhere from weight loss, to more time spent at home with our children, or a dollar amount we want to hit in terms of commissions or sales. Andrew shares with us why so many of those goals fall through the cracks and what steps need to be taken in order to keep yourself on track, as well as, the kind of people you should surround yourself with that will only push you to be best you can be. Do you want to get to the end of 2017 KNOWING you reached every goal you set out to accomplish this year?? Take a listen to this episode and find out how to make that dream a reality!

Ryan Lundquist is a certified appraiser in the Sacramento area and a GREAT connection as he runs the Top Appraisal Blog in the United States. Despite technical difficulties, we finally had a successful recording and I’m so glad we did! Having a relationship with an appraiser that you can turn to for advice and trust as an unbiased party that will support the value of a property first, can make a huge difference in your business! There is value in trusting the numbers and letting them support your opinions when discussing price value with your clients. Ryan shares how you can go about achieving that goal and the steps you should take to estimate property value accurately and efficiently.
It is so valuable when you let the market speak for itself because no matter what season we are in or where the numbers fall, they will never lie. You gain a certain level of confidence with your own production, as well as your client’s trust, when you supply them with the comps and numbers to support your opinions.
There is no such thing as a five minute comp and I’m grateful to Ryan for sharing way more than five minutes worth of valuable nuggets with us! It is easy to view appraisers as biased when they are hired by the buyer and paid by the bank, so it’s important to have the right one in your corner working for the property first as a neutral party. Learn everything you need to know about market value, range of property values, and letting the market speak for itself from the expert himself.

I have been waiting a long time to chat with well sought-after real estate coach, Anita Dizon! We run in many of the same circles and I'm so glad we were able to get together for such a fun podcast chock-full of great nuggets!
Do you ever notice home much better you feel after you help someone else? Anita shared how too often we are taught to chase the client, call them until they pick up, knock until they answer, but who actually finds pleasure in doing that?! Do YOU want to pick up the phone from someone trying to sell you something over and over and over again...No! We have to change that 'gimme' mindset and start giving BACK to our clients with value and trust.
People want to work with the real estate agent that cares about them as individuals. Someone who cares about their wants, needs, and desire to find that perfect home. Just like Anita says, let's remind ourselves and our clients that we appreciate them as people by earning their business rather than expecting it.

The majority of real estate agents are WOMEN and as women, we have SO much to offer this business in terms of perspective, leadership, and connections. We all have purpose and value in life and business, but until we find our niche, that thing that keeps us motivated and driven, we can’t fully connect with our client base or ourselves…and that’s the ultimate goal! We have to stop looking around the room and comparing ourselves to everyone else because, like with anything, we are all different people with our own version of success and THAT’S OKAY!
I can’t begin to tell you how INSPIRED I felt after this podcast. We have to be sisters from different misters because everything I feel she said! Debra is out there making waves and motivating other women to do the same in the real estate industry and beyond. The world is missing that female perspective, but she is bringing it! As women, we become so consumed by our innate ability to do everything and be everything for everyone else that at some point we have to step back and say I’m going to do what’s best for ME so I can serve others as MY best self.
If you’re ready to ignite your passion and find your purpose in life and business, which we all need to do, listen to this episode because no one knows how to fire up a crowd like this girl!

He recently wrote a book called,“Right Now! Why Not You...And Why Not NOW?” where he not only helps youdiscover who you truly are, what you stand for, and how to go our execute thatmoving forward.
What great questions to start asking ourselves. Why not you?Why not now? Those questions fall into so many aspects of life including realestate. We all have dreams and desires for ourselves and our business, whetherit’s to sell more, make more, have more free time, hire help, build a team…thequestion remains, what’s stopping you? Money? Time? MAKE the time! Budget forthe money! Life is too short to not be living to our full potential. We allknow who we want to be; we have the ideal best version of ourselves inside ourheads, but we spend SO MUCH TIME scared to take the leap and actually BE thebest we can be.
I walked away from this conversation completely blown away.His positive driven attitude is not only phenomenal, but contagious! Take a listen and I guarantee you’ll walkaway inspired to unleash your greatness and buy his book so you too can findout how to make YOUR best self a reality.
