What if you've been going about real estate all wrong?

Ricky Carruth, renowned real estate guru and founder of the Carruth Team at eXp Realty Gulf Shores and Zero to Diamond, joins Jonathan and Mallory to provide insight into the key shifts occurring in today's real estate market. Ricky uncovers the hard truth that many agents are struggling, not due to a scarcity of opportunities but because of an overreliance on inbound leads. He argues for a proactive approach, urging agents to embrace outbound prospecting and rediscover the power of personal contact through phone calls. The crux of the discussion centers around the potential surge of first-time homebuyers who, believe it or not, could unlock the largest wave of buyers in a long-time.

Are you a deal-focused or people-focused agent? Ricky advocates for a pivotal shift in perspective - from focusing solely on the deal to emphasizing the person. He illustrates the importance of fostering relationships and creating a lasting database of clients. Strategies like weekly emailing and exceptional customer service can help you build a long-term, sustainable business that isn't just transactional. Ricky warns of the pitfalls of filtering out potential clients, reminding us that each person we engage with is a possible opportunity missed.

The conversation gets even more interesting as Ricky elaborates on the win-win concept in real estate. He walks us through the importance of staying active and doing the right things, regardless of market trends. Choosing a brokerage and the implications of signing long-term team agreements or bonuses also take center stage. He stresses the importance of building a strong reputation and developing solid client relationships.

Jonathan and Mallory round up their discussion with Ricky by sharing the value of his coaching program and social media presence. This episode promises to be a game-changer in your real estate journey.

In this episode, you will hear:

• The importance of outbound prospecting, using phone calls and personal contact, to grow real estate businesses
• Why you should be focusing on clients, not the deal, as a key to building lasting relationships and generating referrals
• The concept of a win-win in real estate and why you should stay active and do the right things even in a declining market
• Ricky’s warning against signing long-term team agreements or bonuses when choosing a brokerage and instead focusing on building reputations and strong relationships with clients
• The potential value of his coaching program, Zero to Diamond, and the role of social media in the real estate industry
• Some of Ricky’s practical strategies for building confidence in real estate agents, encouraging them to practice making calls and creating videos to improve their skills and overcome the fear of rejection

It’s unusual to hear about a real estate agent who started their real estate career as an investor. However, a real estate agent with that knowledge comes to the field with a breadth of experience most realtors just don’t have.

What an experienced investor can bring to the transaction table includes recognizing when someone is a baby investor and needs a realtor with the time to teach them. They can spot a great deal and realize when the agent on the other side of the table isn’t going to be easy to work with.

In this episode of The Art of Agency, Basia Bubel joins Jonathan and Mallory to talk about her transition from investor to real estate agent. Basia knew she didn’t want to return to an office when a life circumstance changed and made it necessary for her to create a regular income. With her experience as a real estate investor, she decided on real estate as a career and has been doing well ever since.

Basia recognizes some problems in real estate today and shares her thoughts with Jonathan and Mallory on how to fix it, including why relationships between realtors need to improve, why attorneys can wreck a sale, and the importance of best practices.

In this episode, you will hear:

• Why Basia obtained her real estate license as an investor and her transition into sales
• How she overcame the negative perceptions of realtors and her “aha” moment
• Basia’s reluctance to work with investors because they rely on her to teach them and how you can weed them out
• The difficulty she’s experienced in creating relationships with other agents and what she’s done to overcome it
• The reason she assumes that she’s going to do most of the work on a transaction and how it benefits both sides
• Why resourcefulness, a willingness to ask questions, and approachability make you a better agent
• How attorneys can wreck a sale
• Real estate agents’ lack of knowledge surrounding multifamily investing
• Sexism in real estate, how Basia handles it, and the importance of including all parties on the deed in the decisionmaking
• Why the biggest problem she sees in real estate right now is the lack of best practices

• How over-hiring team members can leave you lacking in profits
• Bad hiring decisions in real estate and its impact on your business
• 90% of real estate agents have no formal sales or marketing training but think selling real estate is easy

The real estate market is still challenging in most areas, with bids over the asking price a commonplace occurrence. Clients are making offers on homes they don’t really love, and their agents are having difficult conversations with them about their situation.

In a competitive market, clients need a realtor who understands how to communicate, gives guidance on submitting offers, and knows the best times to submit offers on houses. An agent who possesses these qualities offers their clients a better opportunity to compete in multiple offer scenarios.

In this episode of The Art of Agency, Jonathan and Mallory welcome Cara O’Neal to the show. Cara is a real estate agent who covers Bucks and Montgomery Counties in Pennsylvania. She prides herself on being a professional and knowledgeable ally for her clients and is ready to negotiate on their behalf. 

Cara’s conversation with Jonathan and Mallory dives into how she gets her clients’ offers accepted in multiple-offer situations, her process for helping them understand what they’re purchasing and agreeing to, and why relationships with other real estate agents matter so much.

In this episode, you will hear:

• What led Cara to get into real estate and why doing it part-time just wasn’t working for her
• Cara’s strategy for getting her clients’ offers accepted and what she’s doing to educate them to get them to agree to make competitive offers
• The tough dialogues she’s having with her clients about rejected offers and why it might not have been the right house for them
• Why Cara asks her clients to initial and sign on the details of an offer to make sure they understand what they’re agreeing to
• The importance of working with local lenders when it comes to appraising and valuing the home
• The benefits of bidding on homes during times of the year when people are on vacation
• Why new agents should have a team or mentor supporting them as they begin to write contracts for clients
• Building relationships with other agents and how that can help you as an agent
• Cara’s thoughts on agents who don’t communicate
• The real secret to success in real estate
