Elizabeth Hidalgo is the creator and host of the Word by LoLo podcast. Her straight-to-the-point tagline is “Sometimes you just want to be heard, with no interruptions.” Elizabeth helps clients build a powerful brand with Rise Digital Marketing Agency.

While branding is the process of finding out who you are, your “gut feeling,” says Elizabeth. What is the platform and personality that you’re promoting? What makes you different from other real estate agents? You could stand out with personality, connections, skill set, or knowledge of an area. Find out what you stand out with when others use your services, and make that your niche. Now, you have your brand!

Thank you for listening to the first season of the Nominations Podcast. This series was created in January 2021 to give Utah Real Estate professionals the tools, skills, and advice they need to succeed in their careers.

Welcome to Nominations Podcast, where we chat with our nominee, Clint Garner, principal broker and co-owner of Ameritrue Real Estate Management. Originally from Idaho, Clint entered the real estate world in 2006. The housing crash in 2008 encouraged Clint to expand his work, and his business grew from real estate to property management and development.

Recently, development has been Clint’s main focus. He is currently working on a 250-unit development in Spanish Fork. But he is always looking for ways to expand his business. Profit margins are especially slim in property management, and Clint believes the best way to make the effort worthwhile is to keep expanding.

Property development can be an expensive and risky endeavor, so Clint first recommends newcomers save their money before jumping in. It’s easy to spend too much money without knowing if a project is going to come to fruition, so it’s best to set aside enough money to see it to the end.

More specifically, Clint recommends finding a good civil engineer. Civil engineers, outside of the city’s requirements, will be the first to tell you if a project is feasible or not. A good engineer is the lifeblood of a project, according to Clint. They're invaluable assets to have overlooking your development plans to make sure it sails smoothly.

Nominations Podcast will be on break for the summer. We will be back on September 20th. H.A.G.S!

Lee Stern from Keller Williams has been in real estate in for almost 50 years! Lee wouldn't have expected 2020 to be such an excellent year for Utah Real Estate. "When the governor said we had to stay home, I didn't know how this would affect things." She was afraid for people to do anything and that the market would crash like many others and was surprised that the market stayed relatively stable. She predicts that 2021 will be better than last year for real estate professionals. Ending the year last year with interest rates in the 2% area has never happened in her entire career.

Alan Matheson is the executive director of the Point of the Mountain Authority. Alan’s responsibilities include overseeing over 600 acres of the Draper Prison build at The Point.

Last year, the board identified principles to guide the process of building and promoting The Point. Promoting public interest is at the top of their list. "This is state land that is owned by all the people in the state. We need to make sure that we are doing things that benefit people's lives in this state.

Secondly, they want this project to be a model development that shows new sustainable ways of building, and that can be a prototype to guide future developments in the state of Utah. Third, they want to think regionally to see how this project fits in the piece of a broader puzzle. Next, the board considers the long-term impact of the project. "Rather than build this fast, we want to take the time to build it right. We need time to do that."

Along with the above principles, Alan says that transparency and acting with integrity are essential aspects of this construction process and the values mentioned above.

The Public Vision of Point of the Mountain State Land Authority

The shared vision was translated into legislation that created the Point of the Mountain State Land Authority. “The legislature set out objectives they wanted to achieve for this site.” Among the goals for this project are job creation, workforce development, and improving residents' quality of life in the surrounding area. This also includes a future-focused transit system and balancing jobs and housing to generate fewer trips for less impact to traffic. “Having a focus on innovation and creating new ideas that can help solve problems here and around the world.”

This episode goes behind the mic with the Scott Stephenson "Silver Dollar Man" and Steph Shoell. This award-winning duo is the perfect match to bring listeners two different perspectives. Steph is a first-time home buyer. Scott is a seasoned home buyer, having purchased real estate in several states. His sales and insurance background, including home buyer’s insurance, gives him a different lens on real estate.
