Level Up - From Agent to Entrepreneur

The Biggest Lessons New School Agents Can Learn From the Old School Mentality w/Jim Remley


Listen Later

With all the technology out there and the tools at our disposal, people often think that methods from the 1990s don’t work anymore. But the interesting thing is, a lot of what was done back then still works, and would lead to better results when combined with modern methods and tech. Why are listings key to scaling a real estate business, and how did our guest blend production and running a business? Why is the old school mentality of focus, grind and relationship-building still so powerful today?

On this episode, real estate entrepreneur, consultant, author, speaker, and trainer, Jim Remley, joins us to talk about his journey and how he started and stayed on the fast track to growth in his business. 

If you’re willing to do the grinding work that no one else will do, you’re going to own the market because 95% of agents are super lazy. -Jim Remley

 

Takeaways + Tactics 

  • There’s a reason why the top producers in the industry are listing-dominant. Listings give you scale, but buyers don’t. 

  • If agents could combine the old grinding mentality, with the available tech advancements, there will be huge scale and larger profit margins 

  • The 30 - 60 agent range can be a death zone in a real estate team. In that range, a team is not small enough to be nimble, and not large enough to have economies of scale.

    At the start of the show, Jim Remley shares how he got started, and how he earned his Century21 gold jacket. Next, we talked about how he formed the first real estate team in his community. He talked about what made him choose listings, and how that helped him gain traction. We talked about why retaining and recruiting agents in our industry is something we should treat like going out and getting listings. Towards the end, we discussed the importance of thinking about creating financial freedom.  


    On this episode we discussed 

    • The importance of being multidimensional 
    • Why success in real estate comes down to traction
    • Deeper connection in a digital world and bringing human interaction back into transactions.
