This Is Brokering

Once upon a time two Realtors started a podcast. 

286 episodes later they’re still going strong. 

Should you start a podcast?

Why are there (still) friction points between Realtors and Brokers?

Election predictions?

A quality chat that bridges some of the divide between parties with a common goal - happy clients.

Have you got a dedicated expert IT professional keeping you one step ahead of the (hacking) game?

We hit on several critical areas for consideration;

PC or Mac
Desktop or Laptop
Password manager?
VPN
Docs transfer
Docs security
Stand-alone networks inside your home
Cyber security insurance 

Etc.

Cait Holmes is back, originally a guest on episode 71, to discuss goals set, goals worked, and goals achieved!

Building a thriving business from the start of the pandemic in a small community while mothering two young children… among other things!

Basically an amazing human being!

If you’re new, if you’re struggling, tune in. And most importantly write down your goals and build a plan!

One year later we check back in with Desiree (Danyluk) O’Doherty. 

Newly married, and very focused on a nice steady build out of her business with happiness being a KPI (Key Performance Indicator) that’s receiving more attention than many of us tend to assign it. 

A fantastic conversation with a Broker who understands what matters most to them and is staying laser focused on that. 

Have it all!

There are some very important nuggets within this conversation with Sue Pimento from HomEquity Bank. 

IE - Hand off the reverse mortgage application and still receive the exact same compensation as working the file yourself. 

Are we asking all the right questions?

Are we doing the math?

Are we presenting all the options?

Taking the theme from Episode 220 and running with it. 

Yes a jump from 2% to 6% at renewal is no joke. But is it ‘end-times’?

Nope. 
Not really.

What if?

Most headlines are hyperbole, and tend to headline editorial sorely lacking in real world math. 

IE if rate double, what does that mean to me?

Not much if I’m 1yr into a 5yr fixed term. 

But what if?

Tune in for the specific math. 

Where does the payment go?
What will it mean for the average borrower?

A critical file-saving item to add to your initial client meeting/discovery process. 

The conversation covers a lot of ground including some very strategic advice to use around personal guarantees, being INC, and moving away from big bank.

As stress levels hit record highs in our industry some are asking ‘is this business for me?’

Note; while Angela at owns the ‘waiting for it all to go back to normal’ as the reason for a slow start after being licensed in March of 2020 there wasn’t a mot of sitting around going on…

Angela developed a medical grade mask, got it approved by health Canada and received a grant to donate 2500 masks. 

This is a conversation about problem solving with a problem solver.
