When it comes to residential real estate, Tiffany Lawson has seen it all. Not only has she worked as an admin, an agent and a trainer, but she has an incredibly unique perspective - one that I can't wait to share with you!

If you've listened to the podcast before, then you'll have heard me say that one person - the right person - can make all the difference. In fact, hiring the right admin can give you the tools you need to double your business in less than two years. This week, we're tackling what it takes to truly be successful in real estate, and how to hire and train an admin who can transform your business. 

About Tiffany

Tiffany Lawson is a Florida native that has been working her way up the Real Estate ladder since 2014. She began her career as an assistant to the director of operations for a residential and commercial real estate company. That led her to develop a passion for training and coaching administrative admins - after all, she has always set out to break the glass ceiling in all of her roles. Tiffany currently works in a residential sales role, so she has essentially sat in all of the real estate seats.

Tiffany went to Florida State University, and has an awesome son who is her whole world. She is incredibly excited for what lies ahead, in both her personal and professional life and for her family. In her free time, she loves to spend time with friends and family, and when flying solo she enjoys exploring new places and learning about things that take her out of her comfort zone.

I knew the moment I met Jessica that I needed to have her on the podcast. Her unstoppable attitude and seemingly endless drive is inspiring, and her journey is relatable to anyone working in real estate. As a Marketing Director and Operations Director for a very large and busy team (when I say busy, I mean they did over 100 transactions in July of 2020!), she has insights that can help any admin grow to be more successful in their role. She also provides some helpful information on what it is that a Marketing/Operations Director actually does, and how their role might fit into the framework of a multifaceted real estate team. 

In her arguably limited amount of free time, Jessica also created a clever program to help real estate professionals talk about real estate on social media... without annoying their friends and family. We'll discuss this, how her team is tackling COVID, the trust she maintains with her boss and more. 

About Jessica

Jes Yeager comes from an entrepreneurial background, having owned a photography studio in Ferndale, Detroit & Clawson from 2003-2013. She has been working in Real Estate for the past 8 years. She has a love of all things Real Estate Marketing especially social media, graphic design, branding and 36+ Touch Plans. She brings a unique and unexpected perspective to marketing real estate agents and teams. Jes co-manages a Facebook group for real estate admin, with 1700+ members, called Admin Success Principles. For the past 2 years, she teaches various marketing topics within that group monthly. Jes loves nonsense and doggos.

Have you ever had a big idea that someone told you was impossible? Are you looking for freedom and flexibility - both in your career and your life? Maybe you're even considering becoming an entrepreneur, or you recently made the leap to running your own business or team? If any of these sound like you, then this episode of Offer Accepted is right up your alley. 

My guest this week is Michelle Spalding - she's a bit of a legend in the TC world. We aren't, however, discussing transaction coordination in this episode; we're taking a deep dive into what it means to be a truly successful entrepreneur. Michelle's unique insights, positive outlook and ability to overcome challenges will speak to anyone looking to break new ground and follow their dreams. 

Whether you're thinking about venturing out on your own or you already own a business, you’ll appreciate hearing Michelle’s take on defining success on your own terms.

Check out Michelle's new book, Glitter, Duct Tape and Magic.

About Michelle Spalding

In 2005 Michelle launched TMC to help the Realtors she had been working with as a closing agent in a law firm in Central Florida. She knew that most needed help, but few could afford nor wanted the responsibility of a full-time assistant. Over the years her team has grown, and so has her passion for helping others succeed. In 2015, Michelle published her long-awaited book, The Road from Contract to Close: How to Successfully (and Easily) Manage the Details without Losing Your Mind – Or Your Clients!.

In addition to supporting her team at TMC, Michelle provides private consulting and coaching services to select clients. She is often asked to speak at conferences, real estate training events, seminars, as well as webinars and teleconferences, about her unique role in growing the Transaction Coordinator Industry from roots. And in 2017, she launched the Transaction Coordinator Academy to provide training and support to transaction coordinators nationwide.

My guest this week is Andre Bodnar, the founder of Artifakt Digital. Andre's agency is well-versed in the ways of real estate marketing.

With the employment landscape changing and many companies working entirely from home, COVID has brought the need for (and the benefits of) virtual assistants to the forefront of our minds. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to catch up with Clint Muhlenberg and discuss the logistics behind working with a virtual assistant, and, more specifically, what it’s like to work with a virtual assistant from the Philippines. 

Whether you’re considering hiring a virtual assistant or you’re interested in learning about what a virtual assistant does, this episode is packed with useful information. 

Clint runs a company called Level. They provide top-notch virtual assistants from the Philippines to real estate agents and companies across the United States. He has a massive team, and Clint and I share similar philosophies regarding hiring, training and managing remote employees. I can’t think of anyone that would be better suited to discuss this topic. Start listening now to join the discussion! 

About Clint

Clint Muhlenberg’s passion for real estate is rivaled only by his love for helping agents, teams, and admin in the industry succeed. An accomplished operations leader and graduate of Texas A&M University, Clint has years of experience working with esteemed real estate companies, including one of the top ten Keller Williams Realty teams worldwide. A self-proclaimed lover of chaos, he thrives under high-pressure work situations that would make others question their sanity.

While consulting throughout the industry, Clint had a lingering thought: how can leverage be easier? Thus Level was born, a Virtual Assistant company specializing in the real estate industry. Under Clint’s guidance, Level has boosted productivity for real estate businesses by providing outsourced employees in administrative, operations, and marketing roles, among others. His objective is to provide a sense of ease for his clients and prevent them from, in his professional opinion, “working too damn much.”

Outside of work, Clint enjoys giving back to his community by mentoring middle and high school students as well as making people laugh, though he still needs work in this area.
