In this episode of The Ambitious Broker podcast, Roger Hance is joined by Dalip Jaggi, Co-Founder of Revive. He shares Revive's business model, how it works, and how it has been designed to give both homeowners and agents the best deals for the property. He walks through the process for agents to get represented, as well as for homeowners to get listed. Dalip explains the obvious benefits of renovation but also the less apparent but impactful role of perceived value in getting the most profits for the sale.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Revive is a concierge and more for renovation
• Helping agents close more with more commissions
• Work with Revive: Benefits for homeowners and agents
• Renovations help bump up perceived value

QUOTES

Focusing on one aspect: renovations: Dalip: "We're really focused on just the presale, renovation aspect. And we have no interest, we don't want to be a mortgage broker, we're not a real estate agent. We want to stay in our lane and be brokerage and agent agnostic to this problem that lives today."

Revive's business model: Dalip: "(We offer) pocketbook in terms of financials and in terms of contact. We have the contractors. We front the money with no interest or any fees. Average agent receives 22% more in their commissions because that's how much the average we're bumping up the home. Homeowners, they're the ones taking the money to the bank with another 50, 100, 200, 300 hundred thousand dollars in new profit."

How Revive works contractually: Dalip: "We do one of two things. One, we file a deed of trust on the property and then escrow gives us a call to get that cleared, in which we then render out an escrow pay-off demand. Then, the second thing we'll do if it's under 30,000, I think you would appreciate this, Roger, we do then a UCC-1 filing."

In this episode of The Ambitious Broker podcast, Roger Hance is joined by David Hunt, Owner of Hunt Cellars and Destiny Vineyards. David starts by sharing how he helped develop products that would assist him as he got progressively blind, such as voicemail and the smart home.

He talks about having a purpose and how this helps overcome life’s greatest obstacles, which in his case was inevitable blindness. And as music has always been part of David’s life, he shares how music and winemaking both inspire each other as art forms. 

HIGHLIGHTS

• Going blind and pioneering voicemail and the smart home
• Destiny Vineyards: Making wine according to a personal palate
• Purpose is David's motivation through blindness
• Seek mentorship from the top moneymaker in your industry

QUOTES

David: "I realized I would eventually be going blind and had to make a living and I didn't want to live in the back of a Volkswagen bus but I wanted something I could control which would be in business. If you're honest and you treat people right and you have a good product, you can dictate your destiny."

David: "I helped pioneer the smart home back in the early 80s which would turn lights on as I had a little bit of sight down the hallway and created these macros of which you knew at that too, and these things that helped me work around being blind."

David: "Just do it. Learn on the job. That's my philosophy. Jump in headfirst and get some consultants. Don't listen to your accountants and lawyers. They'll talk you out of it. If you feel in your heart, you follow your heart, you never get lost. That's for sure."

David: "Wine inspires music and music inspires wine."

David: "The process is marketing to get them into your tasting room and then word of mouth. Once they've experienced it, it's good thoughts and good spread of the word."

In this episode of The Ambitious Broker podcast, Roger Hance is joined by Chris Decker as they discuss the changes happening in real estate today. Roger sheds awareness on VC money flooding the industry as they aim to take a piece of the very lucrative real estate pie. 

He also talks about Zillow, the one-sidedness of their listings, and how their model takes away business from agents who know their properties best. And not only that, the eventual termination of the iBuyer program proves its unreliability. Roger advises agents: stop using Zillow!

HIGHLIGHTS

• VC is disrupting real estate to get their piece of the pie
• "Real estate agents are zombies" - A challenge to step up quality
• Zillow reneges on its promise and becomes the largest MLS
• To real estate agents: Pay attention and spread value

QUOTES

Roger: "Since 2015, there has been $45 billion invested into new brands of new business models of companies in real estate. And that covers a broad spectrum, it's not just real estate brokerage, it's also the lending business, and insurance and so forth."

Roger: "Suddenly you had Zillow, who said they would never be an MLS, became the nation's largest MLS because they were getting everybody's listings. Here was the bad news, when they did and the clients saw their listings on there, all of a sudden you had a lot of problems."

Roger: "The real goal of these companies is to disrupt how you do business, to eventually take your business away from you. And yet, we're giving them our sign calls. We're giving them our listings to advertise so they can turn around and sell my information to some other competitor of mine."

Roger: "The real estate industry thinks you're a zombie. All it means is you're not paying attention. So please, be alert. Demand professionalism from everybody around you and then look to yourself and those around you as a source of building value."
