Today Best Selling Author, Cindy McGovern, joins Dishin' Dirt to discuss why you must constantly sell yourself to grow your business.

This week I start a series featuring our national speakers for the Real Estate Success Summit coming  April 19. 

Jess Lenouvel of the Listings Lab discusses why you are not seeing the exponential growth in your business in relation to your skill set.  You should be growing faster and bigger than you are. So why are you not? It may be that some agents don't understand they don't sell real estate, they sell a service related to real estate.  Listen as Jess gives you a preview to the Summit.

One of the biggest issues in the real estate industry today is the lack of knowledge and understanding of agency.  Today I examine and answer the questions of what can you do and not do without agency?  How can agency really be terminated?  How far do you have to go to ensure your consumer is not under agency with another agent? I guarantee that there is a least one or two items here that will surprise you.    Agency is not easy.

Are you easy to work with?  Or does your client have to make all of the effort?  Do you proactively communicate or does the client have to always ask what is going on? Let's face it, when you hire a professional you don't want it to be more work for you?

Communication is one of the biggest reason consumers don't think you are easy to work with and why you may be getting bad reviews.  There is a very thin line between a happy client and one who is angry.  Most often the difference is nothing more than a missed e-mail or unreturned phone call.

Aaron Weiche of Leadferno joins me today to discuss Five Ways to Improve Customer Communication! It is so easy and common sense.
