There are data points that you see people posting on social media. That’s not where they belong. They belong to your articulation to buyers and sellers so they can understand what’s happening in the market.● A lot of people have unique ideas and great successes and can talk about them. But to create a course where students can implement is a whole different level.● How do you manage client expectations? You give them realistic expectations—but then you have to exceed them.● What I would tell a brand-new agent is to find the right company that resonates with them. Visit them twice. Don’t just go into that first interview. Go back and make sure that they’re the same company. When you’re there, understand your value prop—who you are and how you’ll articulate it—and get connected with your sphere. If you’re in it for the long haul, that will pay dividends over and over.
