Clients with a 3% mortgage often say the same thing: they’d like to move, but they can’t give up their rate. With today’s rates, it’s hard to argue. A Texas option that launched recently takes a different approach, letting homeowners move while keeping the loan.
In our latest post, we break down how the equity partnership works, who it fits today, and the rough numbers from a $400K example. It also covers how the listing agent gets paid and how to ask for access if you work outside Texas.
When the market slows, many agents wait for the phone to ring or post listing photos that never capture a lead. One Ohio office took a different route, setting up an automatic lead ad for every new listing and open house. Over two years, their average lead cost has stayed between $1 and $3.
In our latest post, we break down six ideas you can borrow, from asking better questions on your lead form to running pending and sold ads for seller leads. It also covers what to do if you have no listings yet and how an automated follow-up can act as a backstop when you are busy.
Most agents give up on online marketing within a few months when the phone stays quiet. One Central Oregon ranch specialist took the opposite approach, building a niche, a trust-first website, and a magazine over several years. Now she gets calls every week from people who found her online or through AI search.
In our latest post, we break down six lessons from her approach, from choosing a niche you actually live to reusing one piece of content in print and online. It also covers how she uses AI to save roughly a quarter of the time it takes to finish her magazine.
One brokerage’s TC forwarded an accepted contract to an AI assistant, approved its plan, and found the whole file already sorted inside SkySlope. That’s about an hour saved on one deal, and nobody lost their job.
This week’s post breaks down how to set up AI as your TC’s sidekick: the compliance settings most agents miss, the four systems to connect, and the exact prompt structure that makes AI catch mismatched dates and missing addenda before they become problems.
Most agents wait for a notice of default before they call a homeowner in trouble. By then the bank has started the foreclosure process and every other agent has the same list. Pre-foreclosures are up 15% to 20% in many areas, but the better opportunity may be earlier.
In our latest post, we break down how to reach homeowners who are 60 to 120 days behind on their mortgage, from an indirect first call to a handwritten card and a simple Meta ad. It also covers how to lead with equity and empathy so the conversation helps the homeowner first.
You walk into a listing appointment ready to talk about your sales volume and reviews, and the seller has already checked their home value in ChatGPT. New Realtor.com research suggests the old pitch may be missing what homeowners care about most.
In our latest post, we break down six changes you can make before your next appointment, from renaming your listing presentation to showing sellers exactly how their home will be marketed. It includes one agent’s visibility numbers and a free market tool worth bookmarking.
What if buying more leads is the reason your business feels stuck? One agent was pulling in about 50 leads a day and still kept spending more, because the real leak wasn’t lead volume. It was everything that happened after the lead came in.
Most agents are trying to be the marketer, the assistant, and the closer all at once. The agents breaking out of that cycle are splitting the work into three roles: AI, a VA, and themselves. Here’s exactly what goes where, how to make it stick, and a 30-day plan to get it running.
Everyone knows agents should show up on social media. The hard part is doing it every few days, across several platforms, while also running a business. In this session, Alexandra Davis of Wise Agent demos a tool that schedules, designs, and posts content for you, and shows how to track what’s working.
An expired listing means the home didn’t sell, not that the owner stopped wanting to. The hard part is finding the right ones and reaching them without starting from a list of thousands. In this session, Burton from PropStream walks through how to build a targeted failed-listing list, add contact info, and turn it into a campaign.
