Welcome to our second episode of 2020. Today's guest is Mr. Bruce Gardner who is a 25+ year Real Estate Professional, National Speaker, Author and Coach. I had the pleasure of meeting Bruce at my local association where he spoke at our "Top Guns" event. I was blown away by his knowledge, passion and drive - but most importantly I was impressed with the way he was able to simplify the complex.

The Ultimate Guide To Selling More Real Estate In Any Market" and "Seven Styles: How To Design Your Real Estate Career of Success and Significance" and I highly recommend both of these - nothing less than game changers. Today we explored many topics including:The iBuyer and the disruption in our professionWhat a newly licensed agent under 12 months should doWhere we see the MLS goingThe future of our professionHow mindset and asking the right questions can help you design your lifeIf you want to connect with Bruce, you can go to his website StrategyBox.net directly from here by clicking the link.

Our current situation is caused by our behavior and actions (or lack of actions) 60 -90 days ago. If you look at your business today, look back at what you were doing 60 - 90 days ago and it is in direct proportion of what you were doing 60-90 days ago. We have the ability to choose the life we want, we have the ability to start and write a brand new chapter in our life. It starts and ends with us. The road map is outlined in this edition of Dominate in Real Estate with Jason Jakus. 1. Choose the life you want. What exactly is it you want and what will that do for you? 2. Take Action!! You have to make the decision to take action. The wrong action sometimes is better than no action at at. Stop over analyzing - take action today. Remember - It is only a thought if you don't take action. 3. Don't let your ego get in your way! Sometimes EGO will hold you back. 4. Write your own new chapter. Stop looking back - you cannot change the past. You have to decide what life you want - you need to write that chapter and you need to take action. 5. At some point in time, you have to be sick of not being #1. Be #1 at one thing - you decide what that is. Being #1 at something will have a spider web effect and other things will be elevated. 6. You are what you repeatedly do! Remember - it is about taking action. It is about having a plan. Remember to please leave a review and share this podcast with someone who may need this!! It is all about sharing!!

One of the most important things we do in our business is go into people's homes and provide them a valuation of their home and sell them on using us to sell their home. Selling high dollar tangible and intangible items is a trust sale and those sales are more complex and depend mostly on building rapport and trust. In this episode we explore three strategies to set you apart from your competition. This includes not conducting a CMA from a desk, but instead being hyper local to establish pricing. The next is establishing a hyper local marketing strategy specific to that home; which will assist you in selling the home. Finally, we need to build enough rapport in a short period of time to gain trust and get them to hire us to sell their home. Remember to leave us a review.
