Rise Up Nation, meet Shayla Deam!

The incredible Shayla Deam is a rock star performer from RE/MAX in Missouri. Shayla shares her perspective on the NAR proposed settlement and how it's impacting real estate professionals. She emphasizes the importance of presenting oneself in the best light and continuously improving to stand out in the industry.

Join us as Shayla discusses the opportunities for agents in this changing landscape and shares valuable insights on professionalism and growth in the real estate business. You don't want to miss this enlightening conversation with Shayla!

Shayla Deam is the Director of Strategic Growth with RE/MAX Heritage in Lee's Summit, Mo. Before relocating to Missouri, she was a Broker/Owner with RE/MAX Signature Properties. That's a lot of RE/MAX. When asked why she chose RE/MAX, she said, "RE/MAX has been ranked #1 for over a decade, so it made sense to be a part of something spectacular. In turn, my customers and agents can experience the same spectacular service from me".

A born and raised Kansas girl, Shayla has a diverse background, originally studying art therapy in Western Kansas before pursuing a career with the Judicial System and The Kansas Eighth Judicial District before she found her passion in real estate. Shayla's drive to help people was evident in her work with the courts, but the behind-the-scenes help made it harder to see her impact on the community. It was then that Shayla decided to move into real estate. Now, she absolutely loves the hands-on work of helping agents grow their businesses.

Rise Up Nation, meet Quintavius Burdette!

Quintavius "Q" Burdette grew up in Mississippi and found out quickly if he wanted to be seen, he had to work harder than everyone else. He attended The University of Mississippi (Ole Miss), played football, and ran track on scholarship. Q received his Master's in Accounting and worked for a Big Four Accounting Firm in Atlanta.

He has built many relationships that have helped him negotiate and close over 725 transactions in his first four years. He believes in working hard for his clients and fighting for all their desires and needs. He is very active in the community and well-known in his market for treating everyone with respect. As a former athlete, Q knows all about showing up every day and hustling. He does not stop until the job is complete and his clients are happy.

In this short episode, Q shares his thoughts on the NAR proposed settlement and how it affects his day-to-day business activities. He discusses his mindset around the settlement, his approach to handling commission conversations with sellers, and his strategies for maximizing exposure and value for his clients. As the number two REMAX agent in the United States, Q's confidence, passion, and unique perspective on real estate will inspire and motivate you.

Hello, Rise Up Nation!

Today, we are replaying an episode from Season 2. If you listened to the original episode, consider it a refresh. Enjoy!

In this solo episode, I talk about the difference between leading and lagging indicators in the real estate industry. Discover why focusing on your daily activities, the leading indicators, is the key to long-term success rather than getting caught up in past results or the lagging indicators.

We also discuss the importance of being honest with yourself, evaluating your activities, and making a commitment to prioritize the actions that predict your future success. Learn how to leverage your efforts and make strategic decisions to achieve the life you desire in real estate and beyond.

Join the Rise Up Nation as we challenge ourselves to shift our focus from results to activities and pave the way for a successful future in the real estate industry.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode and how you plan to implement these strategies in your own business. Feel free to reply to find us on social media or reach out to schedule a coffee chat to discuss this further.
