This High Performance Podcast for Real Estate Agents presents Josh Phegan and Alexander Phillips on the necessity of keeping a diary of your daily business, what goes in it, and how it aids daily scheduling. They recommend using integrated diaries so everyone on your team stays coordinated and on track. Alexander outlines his daily schedule, and stresses the importance of time and energy management. Setting time limits for tasks, building in buffers for predictable delays, and knowing how to stay productive if you end up with extra time are all key. Hard-line appointments that must be met help structure your schedule. The diary also helps you track numbers and market activity each month so you see where to improve and when to plan for time off. The most important function of your daily diary is to keep you in control of your time, your business and your life.
In this High Performance Podcast for Real Estate Agents, Josh Phegan and Alexander Phillips note that the hardest and best decision you make in your business is to put on that first assistant. The cost may seem prohibitive, but is offset by your ability to do more transactions while maintaining momentum and consistency. Alexander outlines tasks an assistant can relieve you from doing so you can focus on prospecting and seeing clients, and lists attributes to look for in a new hire. They also discuss how to nurture, temper and grow a new hire to become more valuable, gain skills and experience, and achieve their own goals. Adding on more assistants is next, again realizing benefits versus cost, and how they motivate you to increase profits. Josh stresses the importance of meetings, team building, and instilling a sense of personal investment in the business.
In the current market client expectations for pricing are high, but there is more demand than stock. This High Performance Podcast for Real Estate Agents features Josh Phegan and Alexander Phillips discussing how best to advise clients around pricing. With buyers wanting to pay less and vendors wanting to sell for more, you must provide realistic pricing guidance from the start. This begins with knowing where your client is in their process – are they hesitant, weighing their options, or ready to go? Are they making emotional decisions, or do they need a certain price point to finance something other than another property? To help them make good decisions you must understand their situation and balance that with the realities of the market. Josh and Alexander outline information you must know and where to get it, what to present to clients, and how to effectively advise them.
In this High Performance Podcast for Real Estate Agents Josh Phegan and Alexander Phillips talk about what causes some agents to stop growing their business. Fear and misgivings around taking the next steps upward is usually the problem. Many agents also reach a peak and feel that they can coast, but that’s where they lose momentum and fall behind. Consistency with your goals, health and aspirations are crucial. Tracking your numbers for listings, sales and income production will keep you driving forward. Monthly goals with weekly progress checks will keep you active and motivated as you reach and surpass goals you thought were impossible. Be open to change and adapt to new trends and technologies. The more opportunities you create, the more exciting the work becomes and the more abundance you realize.
