April 15, 2022 When Should I Pick My Brokerage?
Should I pick my brokerage before I pass the real estate test? Or should I wait?
In this episode, Greg gets real about this often asked question, reminding you that the clock is always ticking. Don’t get analysis paralysis taking time off just to study. Why not spend some time finding the brokerage that’s the best fit for you? Because once you pass that test, it’s time to hit the ground running the next day!
QUOTABLES:
“A lot of people, in my opinion, should have their brokerage picked out before they pass the test because the onboarding process, at least here, is super fast because you want to be able to hit the ground running as fast as possible as an agent.”

April 04, 2022 3 Ms of Marketing for Real Estate Agents
After putting out a survey to his entire agent database, Greg realized that one of the top topics agents wanted to discuss was prospecting. So in this episode, he breaks down marketing even further than before, sharing why prospecting is so important and the three Ms to any successful prospecting plan.

“The number one thing you should be doing every single day, if you don't have deals going on, as a real estate agent is prospecting. All the other stuff that you could be doing is bullshit. It's a waste of time.”
“I've always said, and every marketing guru out there said it, you've got to test and measure what works and what doesn't so you know where to keep putting your money.”

April 01, 2022 Making the Switch From a Flat Fee Brokerage Back to a Split Model
There are basically two different types of real estate brokerages out there, one being a split model and the other being a flat fee model. While Greg is not here to knock either one, having been successful using both models, he does want you to weigh the pros and cons.
From training to marketing to scaling, tune in as your host explains why he is making the switch from a flat fee brokerage back to a split model. And the massive capital push Out Fast Realty is undertaking to go national!

KEY POINTS:
The differences between a split and flat-fee model
There is no such thing as a 100% commission brokerage!
Why so many big-box brokerages are on a split model
A flat-fee brokerage = an agent paying for EVERYTHING
Support, scaling, and marketing difficulties facing a flat-fee model
Out Fast Reality is going national!
QUOTABLES:
“We have been acting as a flat fee brokerage for almost two years or right around two years. And in all honesty, it was great. It helped us recruit a lot of agents. But the problem is, we weren't making enough money to support the agents the way that we have always wanted to support them.”

March 26, 2022 How Can I Be Successful if There's No Inventory? | LIVE Episode
It is no shock to anyone in real estate that it is a tough market to get deals done right now. As Greg and social media already know, there are just no houses for sale! In fact, there are more real estate agents in the state of Florida than there are listings across the entire United States! So how can we be a successful real estate agent when there’s no inventory?
Tune in as your host not only shares why you need to be willing to do what other agents won’t, but how you can. Whether you are a brand new agent just getting started or already a veteran with deals in play, this is an episode you don’t want to miss!

KEY POINTS:
Where are all the houses for sale?!
How to get more deals in this crazy market
“Buyers are liars”
What is reverse prospecting?
Why you need to leverage your sphere of influence
QUOTABLES:
“This is the hardest market that we've ever had, at least as long as I've been around in this business, to go get deals done. Whether it's on the listing side, buying direct from seller, whatever the case may be, it is very hard to do deals right now. But you have now got to double, triple, quadruple down your efforts on going out there and doing the things that other agents are not willing to do.”

This is a real estate podcast like you've never heard before. Most talk about some sort of marketing hack, closing strategy that is no longer working, or a 'hey look at me' type of show.
I wanted to bring you a podcast that is like none other out there.
This podcast is different for a few reasons:
We’re releasing two different kinds of podcasts per week.
One is a recorded podcast with my top agents here at Out Fast and is released every Monday morning
One is a LIVE podcast every Friday morning at 10 am on whichever platform you prefer (YouTube, Facebook, IG, LinkedIn, etc)
We’re featuring our agents and letting them tell their stories
This podcast is for if:
You’re an agent looking for a sense of community. You’ll know you’re not the only one going through some of these struggles. You and I both know that this market is crazy and is not as easy as the TV shows make it look.
A potential buyer of real estate. If you’re looking to buy a house maybe for the first time, looking to upgrade your house, or maybe even downsize. You might also be looking for investment opportunities in real estate. We talk about what to expect during the process of buying a home and how our agents are getting you the absolute best deals possible even in a tight market.
A potential seller of real estate. You might be looking to move into a bigger home or downsize into a smaller home, maybe you’re looking at cashing in on the equity in some of your rental properties. You may be thinking of selling your house FSBO (for sale by owner) because the market is so hot that anyone can sell in this market. Either way, we’re going to explain to you exactly why and how agents EARN the 3% of the sales price. It’s not as easy as they make it look on HGT.
You’re an agent looking for a change of scenery and want to be surrounded by winners, have top-notch training, support, and motivation. You can learn from our agents who are also mentoring our current agents as well.
No matter what, you’re going to want to download and subscribe to this new podcast.
