Transcript:

Steven Jack Butala:

Steven, Jill here.

Jill K DeWit:

Hi.

Steven Jack Butala:

Welcome to The Land Academy Show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala.

Jill K DeWit:

And I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from the Valley of the Sun.

Steven Jack Butala:

Today, Jill and I talk about how to train your real estate agent to post property. What?

Jill K DeWit:

You know, what's funny? Why do they change too? Have you ever had a, here's what happens to me? I go on the internet. I'm looking in areas to find good agents that are clearly selling property similar to mine. I can look at their postings. I can look at the closed transactions. I can see what they've done. I see good descriptions. I see good photos. I'm like, great. That's a person that I want. And they start off well. This is a normal how it goes. So I start off great, and then somewhere around deal number three, number four, when I stop looking at their postings, they get crappy.

Steven Jack Butala:

Just like a marriage.

Jill K DeWit:

Oh, why do you do that? I think ...

Steven Jack Butala:

Why do real estate agents consistently do a worse job over a better job? I don't get it, but there's very few exceptions.

Jill K DeWit:

I got to tell you, truth time here. Today's not the right day to be bringing up marriage stuff like that. It's really going to come back to bite you right now.

Steven Jack Butala:

Before we get into it, let's take a question, a hint taken by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community. It's free. Did you know that Jill and I personally instruct a handful of new and existing Land Academy members in a live class call career path, usually between 10 and 20 people? If you're buying and selling land and it's your career, or you want it to be, career path might be for you. Call this number (833) 522-5545, or email us as always at support@landacademy to see if this level of involvement is for you.

Jill K DeWit:

Exactly. I want to talk about that for just a second, can we?

Steven Jack Butala:

Sure, sure.

Jill K DeWit:

Because this is wait, this is Monday and it starts on Saturday. This is the first time we've ever done a Saturday session, and I'm already telling everyone, this is the last Saturday session. There were a lot of people that wanted it. I moved it from Wednesdays to Saturdays and I thought there were more people that were going to jump on the Saturday schedule. And I think there's some people that don't realize it's a Saturday schedule too. So if you have some time commitments, you need a Saturday and you think you're going to hold out for me to do another Saturday, you might be holding out for a while. That's kind of the point I want to get across.

Steven Jack Butala:

So you think that Saturday is harder for people to ice out then Wednesday?

Jill K DeWit:

For some reason, I think.

Steven Jack Butala:

Because it would be for me. It is for us.

Jill K DeWit:

Isn't that kind of funny? I think people would rather skip work. I'm not kidding. And ditch work for five or so hours every Saturday or, excuse me, every Wednesday then they do on Saturdays.

Steven Jack Butala:

So let's be super clear, because we're throwing all these days of the week out. It's on Saturday.

Jill K DeWit:

It's on Saturday this time. So it starts April 23rd and it goes for 10 weeks on Saturday. So we had a number of people that asked for Saturday because of their commitments. So we said, okay, we'll do one as a test and we will continue this as a test. And I know the people that jumped on right now, because they jumped on the very first day. They're like, "We need this Saturday. Thank you for doing this. We've been waiting for it." So if that's you, this is it. This is a time. This is career path for Saturdays only, and we are happy to help you. Thank you very much. And how do you learn about this too, by the way? Just go to landacademy.com/careerpath.
