The REAL in Real Estate

We're BACK baby! We took a little hiatus because, well, the reality of REAL ESTATE is that a lot is going on - all the time. Managing that means hiring people and learning to delegate. So, here we are! Back at it with content that educates you on the legalities of real estate. We chat with David Reider of Berlin, Patten, Ebling on 6 incredibly important topics. Topics that whether you are the consumer or the agent NEED TO KNOW to be successful. Maybe most importantly, what can come up at the closing table if we take title incorrectly... We talk through a hilarious, cringe-worthy story David experienced with a client and her prior relations. Come check it out and use David Reider for all things real estate: [email protected]

We talk about Katie's experience coaching real estate agents and how she helps them go outside of their comfort zone. We all have to do challenging things from time to time in our line of work and the real estate industry is no stranger to challenging tasks. From door knocking, to pricing homes under the Seller's expectation - the conversations are definitely not few and far between. As agents we hold many titles throughout the length of the transaction. We act as a consultant, a friend, a therapist and professional...and sometimes the lines are blurred. Having a sales coach to help balance it all is absolutely worth it.

Yes, it happens to even the most seasoned agents - at any time or place and for a variety of reasons. (mostly, emotional ones.) Join Sandi and I as we talk through the emotions of this relationship we have with real estate - she's a doozy.

We also touch on the importance of going with a real estate agent that is part of a well-known brokerage, like Keller Williams.

So, check it out and see if you learn something about the real estate industry along the way.
