  • This may be why you're not getting leads ...

    It’s the last week of the first month of a new year …  and this year is going to be a fight.  Here’s the great news – we are in a new era of real estate. The playing field has been leveled and it doesn’t matter if you have 2 years of experience or 22 years of experience. Your success will be a direct result of what you can do today to attract attention.  Are you hungry?  Are you ready to hustle?  This year if you want to double, triple, even quadruple the amount of homes you sell – you must BE DIFFERENT.  We’ve got to get you to stand out from your competition, and I’m going to tell you how to do it in the video above. It’s all about connection - connection with your community, with your neighbors, and with your clients.  With tech and the iBuyer movement, the consumer is being taught that they don’t really need an agent to buy or sell a home.  With big box brokerages, they hire as many people as possible to get their own brokerage brand out there.  Here’s the truth … people don’t do business with a logo. People do business with a person. You are in a person-to-person relationship business, and we’ve got to find your voice.  If you desire more sales, your personal message matters MORE NOW THAN EVER.  BE YOU!  Find your voice.  Create clarity with your message.  Your marketing will work infinitely better, because you are marketing YOU.  It’s authentic and REAL!

  • PLAYING OFFENSE to get your buyers where they want to go
    Alright my friends, who’s ready to attack 2021 in an offensive way and get the job done for your buyers!
    It’s a Crazy market and all we don’t win unless we get our buyers where they want to go
    this year – we must – we absolutely must play offense to get these buyers under contract
    and I’m going to give you specific things you can do differently right away to change the game for your clients
    tricks that you can implement in your business
    and you’re going to see an immediate difference – and be working with new clients next week
    so hang out with me for a few minutes and we’re going to dig in …
    ok – who feels like 2020 kicked your butt
    it was fast – it was crazy – it was a fight
    and 2021 isn’t going to be any different…
    but we can learn our lessons and get out of defense – and start playing offense for our buyers
    it’s easy to say rah rah rah – I’m going to kill it in 2021
    I hear it all January and February – and then march comes around and agents are stuck on the same track as they were last year
    So, what I want to do is give you things you can do right away to make sure you hit your targets
    That’s my goal here –
    First – right now, this month, there is no better time to get in touch with clients and buyers that you lost touch with in the fall – all those people that reached out to you – maybe you had appointments that cancelled, leads that never answered your call - whatever it may be …
    For everyone you reached out to that you didn’t connect with – that doesn’t mean they are not serious
    Listen, I hear agents all the time –
    Well, I reached out and they didn’t get back to me
    Of course they didn’t
    People don’t like returning phone calls – they get busy and distracted
    Buyers are like rabbits – running around from one spot to the next
    Buyers – leads – do not like getting back to people, and our “timing” … please give me a call back today – is not important to them.
    They only care about what they are doing right that minute –
    What’s important to them –
    That’s why,
    1) We don’t take anything personally – we just do our job
    2) And 2) our job is to reach out, follow up, and then do it again …
    You haven’t hit the mark until you’ve reached out a dozen times.
    So don’t worry if you don’t hear back.
    Go in expecting that you are not going to hear back after the first, third, even eighth call or text message
    Just keep reaching out and here is your trick number two
    How to do business differently this year …
    STOP reaching out and talking to buyers about what you want to talk about
    All the questions we want to know
    Hi, this is Kim Dowling, I understand you are interested in 1234 main street – let me ask you
    Do you have a realtor?
    Are you pre approved with a lender?
    Stop and put all that to the side – you have to offer value first – you have to connect with the buyer first
    Let’s make sure we find you and your family the perfect home
    1234 main street has 3 bedrooms and it’s got this big, beautiful kitchen –
    I can’t wait to see it with you – tell me more about what your perfect home looks like
    Give me your priorities ….
    Stop interrogating your leads and putting them through a quiz when you talk with them
    Get to work and make sure you’ve got their priorities set so you can accomplish their goals
    That first call, that first email, that first stream of text messages
    It should be all about them – what they want
    They are calling you for information about a property – and that’s what they want to know
    It’s like dating
    What if you sat down on a first date and said – hey, are you dating any other people and how much money do you have in the bank
    That date is over – people don’t like that
    So when you say in 30 seconds or less are you preapproved and are you working with a realtor – they jump back, there is not connection – there is no value for them, or warmth or care or kindness
    And here’s the key – I’m not saying don’t ever ask these questions – just stop asking them out of the gate. Talk to buyers about what they want to talk about –
    They want

  • How to create GREATER SUCCESS and take ACTION

    Who is ready to fire off into 2021? 

    This past Monday I announced new accountability work groups to our leadership team. We gave everyone their application, and I want to give you a few quick tips to duplicate the basics of this system in your business. 

    If you are going to do anything with your business ... you may as well light it on fire and give it your best! That's what this accountability and commitment strategy will do for you. Watch the video above for an inside look at the process and create it for yourself. This mastermind group has an immediate and significant impact on agents - both personally and professionally. I believe in 2021 we have to be totally dialed in, and everyone is going to need to focus at their highest and best self. This will help you get started! 

    The commitments we make each week must be: 

    ✅ SPECIFIC 

    ✅ ACTIONABLE 

    ✅ MEASURABLE … 

    with a deadline of 7 days!  

    It is amazing what can happen in 7 days with laser focus – commitment – and accountability. I hope this next year is your greatest yet, that you are happier, and your business gets stronger and stronger every day.  If we were sitting here one year from today and reflecting on the past year, what MUST happen for you to feel happy about your progress personally and professionally? Every agent, to be able to grow and succeed – everyone needs support and community. 

    The reason we pull our agents together into accountability groups is to harness the power of commitments and deadlines in their business, week by week, person by person! Tie into the community and support system your broker has built for you. Do you have a system for accountability and mentorship? Where can you find coaching and an accountability partner to work with week by week? Make sure you have this support and accountability system in place. 

    If you do this you will not only start the year off right, you will take your business and personal life to the next level!

  • That's a wrap for 2020!
    As we close out the final day of 2020 - I can’t help but do two things… 
    Reflect on this crazy roller coaster year we have had - and send you, our loyal friends, off with our love and appreciation.
    Hi, i’m Kim Dowling the broker here at coastal luxury partners – and our entire team sends you love for a happy new year!
    First, as we reflect back – we can remember a fantastic January, a confusing month of February, and approximately 305 roller coaster days later – that we have all spent together – and now we are about to leave 2020 behind with new and wonderful opportunities ahead.
    We have all grown so much during this challenging year. It hasn't been easy, and I would imagine it’s a year none of us will forget. What can we say really? There aren't enough words or emojis to properly define the emotional roller coaster we have been living on.
    We have been navigating a pandemic together
    We’ve seen important aspects of life that we had lost in our hectic, busy days become a priority again
    Unfortunately some have lost loved ones,
    and then we had new precious new babies born.
    Everyone became proficient in technology and learned all about zoom
    We threw away habits that seemed frivolous and learned to embraced simple pleasures
    Our team of agents and staff here at Coastal Luxury Partners adapted at lightning speed and immediately launched safety protocols – especially for our listings, virtual tours, video conferences with clients,  and digital signings. We were lucky – with our in house marketing team and support staff we already had all the technology in place.
    Our only focus for the past 300 plus days has been to ensure our clients are safe and comfortable  - and can continue to move forward with their lives and plans. At times it’s been a challenge to figure out how to get clients packed up and moved from one place to the next – but we did it together!
    We continued with buyers purchasing the home of their dreams, and sellers happily able to sell their homes through the entire year of 2020 -  in what turned out to be the busiest and most successful real estate market in over a decade.
    I have loved seeing everyone one of your thoughtful testimonials – we are so grateful – and we could not have had such a successful year of service without our agents and staff that work diligently day in and day out. I know our team is still hard at work with five more families that need to close during this last week of the year.
    And speaking of the new year – I love New Year’s eve – it’s like hitting the restart button for all things new and wonderful right around the corner. New goals – new accomplishments – new ambitions – we are ready to go here at coastal - that’s why we gathered together in November with our entire office to chart business plans and goals for 2021. I’m sure you are working on plans for your own year ahead.
    The best part of this past year for me was watching us all come together
    We supported our neighbors and watched out for our communities.
    It was good, bad, beautiful, ugly, quiet, and super busy - all at the same time.
    Most importantly, we made it, and now we get to look out for the good ... those things in life we forgot to be grateful for in our typical, hectic 100 mile an hour lives. I would imagine we will carry many of the gifts we learned into the new year
    So, 2020 - good bye – it is time for you to go
    May 2021 be full of kindness and hopefully we can finally have some fun
    ... and despite the many challenges of 2020, the team here at coastal has some truly AMAZING milestones to celebrate - ALL THANKS TO YOU – our wonderful and loyal clients, friends and neighbors!
    We are beyond grateful for each of you that trusted our Coastal Team throughout the process - you are all a pivotal part of our success this year. We moved past what we thought was possible, and we could not have done it without you.
    We love our community, we love your support, and we are taking our services to a whole new level in 2021. As we move and dan
