In this episode of The Unstoppable Real Estate Agents Podcast, we sat down with Phil Martin, founder of the Martin Home Team and a respected voice in the Dallas-Fort Worth real estate market. Phil serves clients in North Dallas areas including Plano, Allen, Frisco, and McKinney, and brings with him a wealth of real-world experience and proven strategies for success.

This episode is packed with powerful insights on how to build trust, foster authentic client relationships, and develop a marketing strategy rooted in service not just sales. Whether you're new to the business or a seasoned agent looking to level up your approach, Phil's wisdom and systems-based mindset will leave you inspired and equipped.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• The value of tracking your time and implementing systems, including standard operating procedures and checklists.
• How Phil’s early real estate journey taught him the power of scripts and simple tools like a flip menu.
• Why understanding your client’s lifestyle and long-term goals is more impactful than just helping them buy a house.
• The role of open, honest communication and asking for permission before giving feedback.
• How automation and consistency helped Phil go from modest beginnings to a thriving business.
• Why gratitude and a positive mindset are non-negotiables in his daily approach.
• How to educate clients to empower them in the buying or selling process.
• The importance of showing clients what it's like to work with you—before they commit.
• Why Phil focuses on relationship building and trust as the foundation of his business.
• His take on funnels, offers, and freebies as part of a smart, scalable marketing plan.
• The overlooked value of nurturing those in the middle of your sales funnel.
• How he overcame self-doubt to become confident on camera, and what you can learn from it.
• His success with YouTube marketing and growing an organic audience through consistent, helpful content.
• Why a customer-centric approach focused on value and trust is the real secret to long-term success.

Final Takeaway:

Phil reminds us that real estate is ultimately a relationship business. When you prioritize service, create systems that support your growth, and lean into authenticity, your marketing becomes more effective—and your business, more fulfilling.

In this episode of The Unstoppable Real Estate Agents Podcast, we dive into one of the most important aspects of your business: client onboarding. It is more than simply bringing in new clients. It is about building a smart and strategic process that lays the groundwork for long-term success.

Client onboarding is not something you can approach with a single formula. Each client has unique needs and goals, so you need a system that is tailored to help you make the most of every opportunity. Today I will walk you through how to create and implement an onboarding process that ensures nothing falls through the cracks.

We start by looking at the difference between leads and clients. It is critical that you do not treat them the same way. Every lead deserves personal attention, whether they come to you through referrals, social media, or your website. That is where a solid CRM comes in. It helps you organize leads effectively and send the right email sequences from the very beginning.

When you are onboarding new clients, whether they are buyers or sellers, go beyond just gathering names and contact details. Find out about their situations, interests, and preferences. This information is incredibly valuable and should be stored in your CRM to support meaningful follow-up and strengthen the relationship over time.

Do not forget about your past clients. They are the backbone of your future success. Stay connected with them through thoughtful touches, like birthday cards or client events, to show how much you appreciate them.

Make sure to document your onboarding process clearly so your entire team knows exactly what to do. This is essential for growing your business and keeping everyone on the same page. Remember that your system should continue to evolve. Take time to review and adjust it regularly so everything runs as smoothly as possible.

If you ever have questions or want more guidance, please reach out. We are here to help you succeed and make sure you take advantage of every opportunity to grow your business.

In this week’s episode of The Unstoppable Real Estate Agents Podcast, we sat down with Pat Wattam of the Pat Wattam Five Star Team at RE/MAX First Realtors in Baton Rouge, LA.

Pat brings a truly unique background, blending careers in music and fine art with decades of success in real estate. Her adventurous spirit and dedication to clients have earned her a stellar reputation. But perhaps most importantly, living through countless hurricanes has made Pat a go-to expert on emergency preparedness.

In this episode, Pat shares practical, often overlooked tips to help you prepare for disasters of all kinds, from floods to hurricanes and tornadoes. Here’s what you’ll learn:

✅ Why preparing from day one matters, and how to build a checklist of essentials like food and water. ✅ How to assess local risks and create a personal emergency action plan. ✅ The importance of planning where you’d go and stay during an evacuation. ✅ Why stocking long-term supplies is critical, some emergencies last longer than you’d expect. ✅ Steps to protect your property by securing items that could turn into dangerous projectiles. ✅ How to store enough water (even filling bathtubs) and keep fuel on hand to power generators or travel when shortages hit. ✅ Lessons learned from past storms and how to adapt your plans. ✅ Why it’s smart to keep cash on hand in small bills to cover expenses when power outages shut down card systems. ✅ How to provide clients with a hurricane preparedness guide so they can tackle plans early and avoid last-minute chaos.

…and so much more.

Whether you live on the coast or far inland, Pat’s insights are packed with value. Tune in and discover how you, and your clients, can be better prepared for whatever comes your way.

In this week’s episode of The Unstoppable Real Estate Agents Podcast, we are breaking down a common but critical misconception in the industry: not all virtual assistants are created equal.

Virtual assistants (VAs) are now essential partners in the modern real estate business—offering flexibility, efficiency, and the ability to grow your business without expanding your overhead. But choosing the right VA isn’t just about outsourcing tasks—it’s about making a smart, strategic investment in your success.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why experience and specialization matter when hiring a VA
• The pitfalls of choosing a low-cost assistant over a qualified one
• How to vet and select a VA that understands the real estate industry
• The key traits to look for in a long-term VA partnership
• How VAs can support both new and seasoned agents in building and scaling their business

Whether you're just starting out or already running a thriving real estate business, this episode will give you the clarity you need to choose a VA who truly supports your goals—not just your task list.
