Episode 18: The Advantages of Synchronicity - Feat. Chris Alvord, Part 1 | Real Voices Podcast

Today, we talk to Chris Alvord, Regional Sales Manager at Minute Mortgage.   In part 1 of 2, Alvord discusses his real estate background, with a focus on business development where he works to provide agents with necessary resources. He explains how offering individual services to agents in a one-stop-shop format not only adds value, but increases business in the escrow, and home warranty fields.   “It is something that other places can’t offer - that’s a really huge advantage of having everything in-house,” Alvord stated.   He talks about his favorite parts of the job, noting that a huge upside is interacting with so many different people across the field. Alvord describes how his high-energy, high-output work ethic is a perfect fit for such a dynamic and ever-changing environment.   He also addresses the benefits of advancing technology in the industry, which results in streamlined services without the need for extensive manpower. Alvord outlines the key advantages of mobile applications and online interfaces.   “You’re able to plan your day and it helps with time and workflow. With all of these features and being self-autonomous, agents can take more control of transactions - which keeps fees low,” he explained.   Listen across a multitude of streaming services including YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts, and learn more about her incredible journey!
