In this real estate market you need to be selling yourself more than ever.  Selling is an important part of what you do―whether you're selling a product, an idea, or a new way of doing things. But, before you can sell any of those things you have to sell yourself. Creating your own personal brand―and promoting it in all you do―is essential to achieving your professional goals and getting ahead in life.

In Sell Yourself, renowned sales and leadership expert and Wall Street Journal best-selling author Dr. Cindy McGovern joins Dishin' Dirt to help guide you through the process of intentionally creating, living, and selling your own personal brand.

As I start Season 3 today our guest comes from the #1 Real Estate Podcast in the Country-REAL ESTATE UNCENSORED .  Self-described introvert, Matt Johnson, discusses why introverts kick butt in real estate.  He discusses how both extroverts and introverts can find the internal energy to succeed at the highest level. 

Matt also debunks the "Great Hope of Social Media."  Matt discusses why too many agents think simply posting on social media will magically work.  Matt explains why that is foolish and how to actually use social media for positive outcomes.

We complete Real Estate Agent safety month with this episode.  Today we examine the dreadful case of the Beverly Carter kidnaping and murder.   Beverly was a real estate agent, mother and wife. She was living and working near Little Rock, Arkansas when she was attacked, abducted and murder by a husband and wife criminal team at a real estate showing.   The attack was pre-planned and specifically targeted Beverly because "she was a woman and a rich, real estate agent who works alone."

Arkansas Real Estate Commission, Doyle Yates, joins Dishin' Dirt to discuss the facts of the case, the search for Beverly and the arrest and prosecution of the assailants. Doyle also discusses what real estate agents have learned about safety as well as Arkansas's new agent safety requirements.

So far during Real Estate Agent Safety Month we have discussed being prepared for the meeting and learning about an app that can do background checks in an instant. Today, former Police Officer turned Broker, Damien Burris, discusses how reading body language can tell you when an attack may be eminent. We also discuss common sense actions an agent can take to make sure they are a difficult target.  Also, learn what not to do when showing an house.

This week we discuss an app that you can use to perform a background check on your potential client before you even have an in-person meeting. Preparation is the key to your safety.  In seconds you learn if your client is on the sex offender list or has other convictions.

Josh Tillison joins Dishin' Dirt to discuss Forewarn and how this inexpensive app can provide you a valuable tool for your physical and financial safety.

September is real estate agent safety month.  Before you say "nothing is going to happen to me, happens in my small town, or to someone like me", think again. Just this week an agent in Aiken was sexually assaulted.  In 2018 alone, Inman News reported that 9% of real estate agents reported having been attacked or physically threatened performing their job.  Last year I documented six foot-five Jason Compton's story which can be found here. So it can happen to you, in your town, and to someone even bigger or stronger than you.

Today's episode is a two-parter. In part one Sarah Spencer, president and principle broker of Spencer Realty Services with Keller Williams Outer Banks, rejoins Dishin' Dirt to discuss  how to market outside of your MLS. She also continues her discussion on niche marketing and much more.

In part two, I discuss seven changes that I would like to see to the South Carolina REALTORS Contract due diligence provision. These simple changes could make a huge difference in limiting liability for the agents and consumers.

Being successful in real estate is a lot more involved that just buying and selling.  To truly be a top agent you have to understand the market, the buyer, the seller, the economy as well as business and military movements that affect your market. 

Sarah Spencer, president and principle broker of Spencer Realty Services with Keller Williams Outer Banks, joins Dishin' Dirt to discuss how she discovered her niche market of selling vacation, second home and investment real estate on the Outer Banks to the Top 1% wage earners.  But in order to be successful she had to learn about bond markets, 1031 Exchanges, tax issues, flood, wind and hail insurance and so much more.  She is now considered one of the most respected experts on second home/investment properties in the country. 

Sarah discusses niche selling, turning down business outside her skill set, building a skill set way beyond real estate and even how to market outside of your MLS.
