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.

With his own 400+agent brokerage and a recent nomination for a position at NAR, Jorge Guerra did not start out in this business at the top. He had to suffer in order to succeed,but he never gave up. Success is inevitable when you work hard for what you want.
Nothing in life is easy. Every agent starts at the bottom, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.In order to succeed you must struggle, you have to do all the stuff you DON’T want to do in order to get to the point where you can do all the things you WANT to do. Every sale is valuable. From 50K to a million, the relationships you are building with each client can lead to bigger sales. If you treatedevery prospect like a 5 million dollar sale, you’d guarantee yourself forever clients. That $250,000 sale could lead you to a million dollar sale down the road because of the RELATIONSHIP you established from the beginning.
Jorge shared why his methods work and how. If you are willing to consistently and persistently work hard with no limitations, you’ll succeed in any business. Check it out, give this episode a listen. You might just hear something that could change your whole business for the better, I know I did!

I am completely fascinated by what Billy Ekofo, lead manager at Century 21 Redwood in Virginia, is contributing to the real estate industry.Like so many before him, he was hesitant about becoming a real estate agent, but with a little push he took that leap of faith and we are grateful he did! He is the matchmaker of real estate connecting leads with the perfect agent. I think we all could use a Billy!
Real estate is certainly a numbers game, but I think we get too caught up in getting to that next sale that we forget why we got into real estate in the first place…to help people! It is just as important to treat a $1,000,000 lead the same as a $200,000 lead. Every lead is looking for the same thing, a place to call home and someone to help them find it.
Not every prospect is ready to buy/sell the second you meet with them, but establishing a relationship and building a rapport can lead to a sale. We have to change our instant gratification mindset, give the client value and a reason to come back to us when they are ready to take that leap. If you treat each lead like the people they are, the more likely you will have not only repeat business, but referrals because they trust you and the relationship you took the time to establish with them.
Listen as Billy shares more about the importance of following up with your leads, having patience during the process, and continuing to give value whether they are ready to buy tomorrow or 6 months from now. He’s the magician of leads so take a listen and learn some magic!

It was an absolute pleasure speaking to Josh Anderson this week! He and his team are located in the Nashville, Tennessee area and they are KILLING it when it comes to agent referrals. Last year alone, they closed 48 transactions from agent referrals around the country. WOW!
How do you get that many referrals from other agents? It helps when you live in a desirable area that many people are moving to. However, networking and keeping in contact with his database are things that he is dedicating his time to each month, which most agents push aside. Making calls, knocking on doors, sending newsletters to your database…these are all basics when it comes to lead generation, but it’s usually the first thing to go when business picks up.
Josh’s business has excelled because the basics is the one thing he does not compromise. He shared a great quote that only continues to prove true through his success, “The basics are always going to work and they’re always going to win.” Lead generation ultimately costs you nothing but your time. While time is valuable, is it more valuable than your next commission check?
Listen to hear more AWESOME nuggets from someone who’s taking the basics and making it work!
