In this episode of the "10/4 @ R4 Podcast", our guest is Mike Schneider, CEO and Co-founder of First.
Jesse and I recorded 22 episodes of the podcast at R4, and the episode we were most excited for ... was this one! For the second year in a row, (booj in 2019) Adam Contos introduced a world-class real estate technology company acquired by RE/MAX LLC from the main stage at RE/MAX R4.
This year's announcement was the acquisition of First. First, as explained by Mike Scheider, uses data science, machine learning and human interaction to analyze an agent’s contacts and identify those most likely to sell in the coming months.
The app helps agents spend less time hunting for business and more time building it. According to Mike, agents miss about 70 percent of the deals within their network. First closes that gap and makes it easier for RE/MAX agents to know when people in their database are ready to sell their home.
"This tech was so good and so different that we bought the company.” ~ Nick Bailey, RE/MAX CCO
"With First, we found next-level talent, combined with a game-changing service, delivering exclusive access to one of the best products for agents out there today.” ~ Adam Contos, RE/MAX CEO
We were blown away with the opportunities that First creates for agents to grown their business. Then we got to meet Mike ... we were even more impressed by the humans behind this incredible technology, exclusively for RE/MAXers.
During the "R4 Rapid 4", Mike reveals a newly discovered skill that would come in handy in the event of a zombie apocalypse.

In this episode of the "10/4 @ R4 Podcast", our guest is Kendall Bonner, Broker/Owner of RE/MAX Capital Realty in Tampa, FL.
As office culture becomes more and more important/valuable to agents, broker/owners must create content that illustrates what being a part of their brokerage would be like, to attract great agents. Kendall shares why the importance for agents to build "know, like and trust" with potential clients is mirrored by the importance for broker/owners to do the same for agents.
Also, as the industry continues to evolve faster and faster ... Kendall explains her practice of "Learn - Test - Teach" to give her agents and advantage in the marketplace.
During the "R4 Rapid 4", Kendall reveals the problem with today's music.

Consistency is key to success in any pursuit. But what's the key to consistency?

In this episode of the "10/4 @ R4 Podcast", our guests are James Wood of RE/MAX Results in Owasso, OK.
In my opinion ... the best way to an amazingly successful and rewarding real estate business is by producing "raving fans".
The best way to produce "raving fans" is by elevating the customer experience.
The best way to elevate the customer experience is by communicating in a warm, personal, and effective manner.
The best way to communicate in a warm, personal, and effective manner is through simple, one-to-one video.
James shares with us how he uses simple video to elevate the customer experience before, during and after the real estate transaction that produces "raving fans".
During the "R4 Rapid 4", James shares why he is #TeamZombie "from the jump" of a zombie apocalypse.

In this episode of the "10/4 @ R4 Podcast", our guests are Mo & Sonsy Gaba of Children's Miracle Network from Baltimore, MD.
Sonsy, Mo's mother, first a saw potential health issue with Mo when she noticed his eyes appeared white in a photo taken at a family gathering when he was just 9 months old. He was diagnosed with a malignant tumour of the retina, and soon lost his sight. Mo has had operations, aggressive chemotherapy, radiation and a bone marrow transplant, and has spent approximately 75% on his life in a CMN hospital. He has kicked cancer's butt three times, and currently finds himself battling cancer for a fourth time in his lungs.
With all of that ... Mo remains fearless! He is a remarkable kid, full of positivity and grace. He makes you a better person just to be around him for a minute ... or ten. And his laugh ... which you hear a lot ... is infectious.
Mo and Sonsy give us a glimpse into the difference that RE/MAX and Children's Miracle Network are making for "kids like Mo". They also share how the staff at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center create moments for kids undergoing treatments "just to be kids" ... if even for a moment.
During the "R4 Rapid 4", Mo shares with us who'd win in a battle between four to five "car-sized" chickens and one "baby tree-sized" elephant.

It's not as hard to get your head around as ... What came first, the chicken or the egg? However, Geoff along with Jeremy Rae "flipped" the script when it came to leveraging video in a community.
For so many of us, it certainly was in my case, we create videos for a community, but Geoff and Jeremy built a community around the video they were already creating. We talk about the success of his food-based video series called “Eat New West” and the fantastic Facebook group he built around it.

In this episode of the "10/4 @ R4 Podcast", our guest is Daniel Bertelson who is the Director Of Opportunities at RE/MAX Preferred in Madison, WI.
Just a "heads up" ... this episode gets "real" ... because Dan gets unapologetically "REAL" with all of us.
We hear the word "authenticity" thrown around a lot. Sometimes, even presented as a marketing strategy ... but it is the exact opposite. I've seen the impact of authenticity grow immensely in recent years and I believe you'll find it very difficult to take your to another level without it in the years ahead.
So what is "authenticity"? James Noble sums it up this way ...
"Simply put, being authentic means staying true to who you are, what you do and who you serve. In an environment in which more human elements matter it creates value and benefits for your followers as well as improving your business."
Michael Bianco-Splann says there are 5 competitive advantages of being "authentic". They are ...
1. Authenticity ignites human connection
2. Authenticity opens the door to vulnerability — and unity
3. Authenticity allows you to learn about others, including your customers
4. Authenticity moves you into the present
5. Authenticity changes your world perspective
Dan also "gets real" about who his wife would want to play him in his biopic.
