How to close deals and generate leads in this market
First things first. It's not your fault that you are not closing deals. Well maybe. Seriously, there isn't enought inventory and home owners are staying put. Why sell when you can’t buy at the same interest rate. So you have a few options.
- What is the motivation to get you to be a deal closer! motivation to action
- patience --> what goes up come down
- remain consistent --> keep working your sphere, neighborhood and farm on purpose -
- or start building houses
- you have to get up everyday on purpose. dual career or full time!
- Do the work today! Procrastination will keep you from succeeding! no one can do the work for you
- No clients, this weekend go preview new construction, go to open houses. You need to feel like you are in the business. Ask a friend to go with so you can practice the process
- Set up a buyer consultation with a friend
- set up a seller consultation witha friend - once Marc's renovation is finished we will do an in person listing appointment example.
- Pick one thing and remain consistent
The agents that are consistent, create content that motivates someone to take action are the agents that will compete.

Buyer Agency - What you need to know and the Settlement
In this episode, Buyer Agency - What you need to know and the NAR Settlement, I share tips on working with buyers and what you need to know about the NAR settlement.
Do you remember when you purchased your first home? I remember when I purchased my first home in 1997.
When I purchased my first home my REALTOR did a great job of explaining the process and i wanted to do just that, help those that needed guidance when purchasing their first home. Many don't know that purchasing a home there is a lot that happens behind the scenes. The hours of work and preparation is what a REALTOR does to make sure their clients reach their home buying goals and the American Dream. Agents work from every where to provide value to their clients. We are often researching market data, better ways to find homes when inventory is low and preparing for opening houses. In this market almost every seller wants an open house. It helps get as many people into the home when inventory is low. I try to make the process seem less and easy for our clients. How about you? Share your experience as a REALTOR or home owner. We would love to hear from you.
I'll cover,
- working with buyers
- buyer contracts
- Representing your buyer well.
- Process
- Lead generation
- The proposed changes to license law and the MLS
- Getting paid

Convert Clients Faster with ChatGPT
In this espisode, I share how to Convert Clients Faster with ChatGPT.
Here is what I know so far: chatGPT has allowed me to do the following:
- Create Graphics for the company social media
- Create Reels for the company social media
- Create Direct Mail Marketing for the company
- Write company emails
- Write letters, scripts, follow up scripts, process
- Create newsletters,
- leverage data
Today I am speaking to everyone that needs to be a better converter. One thing I know, it’s hard to teach motivation, grit and the grinde to do this business. So, before we get into the ways to convert, you must be willing to show up and do the work. Yesterday I had the privilege of sitting with heavy hitters in the Chicago and Illinois West Suburban market. I watched Sheena Baker and Naja Morris pick up the phone to convert potential clients at the early lunch table. It was fun to watch. It was also fun to watch how they shared their systems with each other. I should give you my disclaimer, I am not sharing their stuff, if you DM either of these ladies, make sure you are coming to the table with something to share, or break out your credit card. So between everyone at the table we all have something to give. However, sometimes I sit at these tables and wonder, what can I provide? One thing I know is this, everyone at the table has a work ethic like no other. Ya’ll can’t even imagine how hard they work. One day we just might come outside and share. The point, when I provide ways to convert clients faster with AI or ChatGPT, Bing, YouTube, Canva Magic Write, whatever you choose to use, you still have to seal the deal.

3 Ways to Build a Brand in Real Estate
In this episode, I provide ways to help you build a brand leveraging video, direct mail and chatgpt.
Question? what makes you stop on social media to preview someone else's content? Is it pictures, the written word, audio, or video? Maybe it's audio and video. Tell me in the chat.
I stop to watch videos where I learn something, I am entertained, yes the professional or amature dancers, and the comedians. Some of my favorites are the teachers that share their experiences. How about the inspirational videos or the funny pet videos. The giving videos always make me cry. by the way, Ryan Reynolds is always hysterical.
The real estate videos that make me stop are the beautiful home videos, the real life renovation videos and real life tips for homes.
So how can you leverage video?
One
- People really do want to hear from you and learn from you.
- Don't be boring, yes, even I need to work on that part.
- teach me something or your audience, what are you good at, what do you like to do? How can you make me or others stop to engage?
- ideas - the fun things about owning a home
- show a video of you going to the hardware store to buy the filter for your furnace then show us how to replace. No edits.
- The value of sustainability
- House hacks - cleaning out the fridge
- How about cleaning the toliet or your house every week. (my expereince with a dirty toliet)
- Yes, you do need the data, but make the video a good one.
- Add audio to your videos
- Use the recommended templates with your photos
- Ask the loan officer - ask the the expert
Two
Redirect people to your content with direct mail, show case your content
Three

The Basics work! You can generate leads and I have proof
In this episode, I share updates on farming. Proof that marketing and following up work!
You know I always love a good story. Amber Raye, the agent nurse. Shared that she is doing the work of marketing to to sellers. To keep it simple, she precurred three listings from targeting the expireds.
Note! The hardest part of real estate is that you have to put in the work. If you put in the work you will eventually generate a lead. The process and the journey will be different for all of us. I had an agent at the Georgia conference ask me about my conversion. For me it took 7 months before someone in my own neighborhood hired me. when it came to working with buyers and sellers, I called everyone I knew and asked them to let me help them with the buyer and seller process.
If you are not taking action becuase you are stuck, say to yourself, "the worst thing that could happen is that someone doesn't hire me, bcuase I am not good at the business yet, but the best thing is that someone does eventually hire me".
Ways to generate leads
- walk your neighborhood
- mail to expireds daily
- mail to cancelleds daily
- Pick a neighborhood and stick with it. Today I am mailing 200 postcards
- sphere
- renters to buyers

A Guaranteed Way to Making a Living in Real Estate!
In this episode I share my Guaranteed way to making a living in real estate.
There is always so many ways to build a business. In Real Estate we get so overwhelmed with the opportunity that we forget about "The One Thing". Have you ever thought about focusing on one thing for the next 12 months to build your business?
If you've been in business for over 5 years, having a few ways to generate leads probably works for you. If you are new to the business, social media, your office, the mls, the association and even me, we can overwhelm you with the opportunities out there to generate leads.
When I started selling real estate my one thing was buyers. I knew that buyers could relate to my story of purchasing a home. So I would tell it often at buyer seminars, with friends, family, the folks at church or anywhere I went. I became an expert at new construction, FHA loans, how to buy with no money in the bank, how to fix things on your credit and how to save money for a down payment. You name it, I became that expert in this niche and it worked for me.
if for 10 years you didn't avoid doing what you knew you needed to do, what would you be like? Dr. Jordan peterson!
We only get 24 hours in a day. Everything we do is a choice. What do you do with the 24 hours in a day that you get. Don't say you don't have the time. You have to "take" the time to get things done.
What Does that look like for you? What is the one thing you can do consistently to build a business? It's this simple. If you don't want to put in the work then, get a job, or keep working that job. If you want to own your own time, then you've got to put in the work. if you have a full time job and want to make real estate a full time career you have to show up. I cannot make you. I can email you, text you, call you, have an event, create the marketing, but I cannot make you do the work. And for most it's because you don't see the instant gradification.
Real Estate is for the long hall. Yes, some of us can make this work quick! But there are reasons why. For me, it was I did not want to go back to work for someone else. This had to work. The other thing is, I love what I do. I love seeing anyone that wants a home buy one.
So what is the one thing!

build your 2023 sales funnel with me - cwc
Everyone will build their funnel based on their area, networks and past business. However, there is always opportunity to adjust and grow or even build a team. Your goals are your goals. Focus on your business and no one elses. Let others keep you motivated when you watch social, but don't change your business strategy for anyone. Unless it's a good growth move for your business.
Remember your "why" will keep you motivated and consistency will keep you with a paycheck. Most of you are feeling the shift. For the first time we are seeing price changes, more cancelled listings and expired listings.
As of the time of this recording, In Northern Illinois there are 6,909 preforeclosures that have not hit the market. There are 2070 bank owned homes that haven't hit the market. August 2022
In Central Florida I found 2086 preforeclosures. Most of these homes have equity. These sellers might be able to walk away with a profit.
What's true, many of our cities still have low inventory. Keep learning about data and explaining the data to our clients.
Let's talk about your sales funnel (leads - many, Prospects, Customers, Converts, Clients then dollars.In this episode, I share my ways to build your 2023 sales funnel.
Five things every new and seasoned agent must do NOW
In this episode,
- Stop worrying about what everyone else is doing - Stop worrying about what other people think about you and make sure you think correctly about your self.
- No matter how much you learn you must learn how to have a conversation and convert potential clients. You can be the smartest, brokest agent. Building relationships is a must in this business. And sharing about real estate is important, but if you don’t know how to ask for the business, real estate will be challenging. Sign up for toast masters!
- Every agent, must continue to lead generate. These last few years were much easier for agents that have a database. Listing a home, going under contract and closing was a piece of cake. Any home that went on the market, SOLD. Well most of them. You didn’t have to do as much to prove your value. Make sure you are mailing to your neighborhood, mailing to your network “sphere of influence” and using video and social media. You must become the agent that is seen everywhere! Although if you’ve been doing this you are a head of the curve!
- Use a CRM and follow up! You have to keep asking for the business
- Get involved - Start showing up at your community events, community meetings, village or city meetings. Get to know those that are in office and be the resource for real estate. If you are not involved in your local association, that’s my challenge for you! I would go as far as saying get involved in Women’s Council! It’s easy to say, “I am too busy” that was me. Feeling overwhelmed, but I had to make a choice to get involved. Oh, and checking email. Check your emails from your association. We just had an event on a rooftop at a minor league park and I had agents say they hate they didn’t know. Guess what! It’s your fault. Check your email and sign up when you see the email, don’t wait

The Power of StoryTelling and Being Creative
I absolutely loved being with small business owners at the 10KSB summit in Washington DC. One of the most common themes from the speakers was, storytelling. These are a few of my takeaways from the summit.
1. Tell your story
2. Write down your journey
3. You must be creative with marketing as a small business owner.
4. Get involved in your communities. Give back.

Ten Ways to Provide Value to a Seller
In this Episode, I share my tips on "Ten Ways to Provide Value to a Seller".
First, I would like to say there are so many ways to generate leads. However when you generate leads you will still have to convert those links. You can generate leads by working with friends and family, walk in your neighborhood getting to know your neighbors and even by referral. The hardest part of real estate is you must create your own in box. You’ve Heard me say this over and over again this is not a job you’re the boss you’re the entrepreneur you have to put in the work, you can not wait for someone else to do it for you. If you want someone else to generate the leads expect to pay for the leads. If you simply show up to any of my classes to learn MLS tools you will learn how to generate lead.

Pay to Play, How I sold 1.9 Million in Real Estate
In this espisode, I share my experience with paid ads and I share my tips to creating an ad by using video.
April 16 2016 I went live on Facebook. That two minute live video resulted in 10 closed transactions From June 2016 to 2017. The production included 1.9 million and a gross commission of $53, 654. I am always telling y'all, don't make me come back and show you how to do this business.
On April 16th I received an organic lead that resulted in the first sale June 2016. On April 17th, I boosted the post and history was in the making. I have over 7.2K people reached and over 3K views. This was the video that just kept on giving. If I hadn't changed company's I would continue to repost this video. I guess it's time to have a replay.
By the way, the video was 2 minutes long and I only paid $10 bucks to advertsie and ended up spendinig an additional $8 showing an agent how to use the boost option.

Social Media - The Systems You Must Have!
As an entrepreneur or business owner we all needs systems. Whether you stick to the system, adjust or change the system, you need a system. Especially a social media system. It’s ok to get off track, like many of us do, but if you want to be successful, you must have a social media marketing system. Really a full digital marketing system is what needed, but most of us just need to start someone. so first things first!
- Which social media network are you using, willing to use
- Which social media site is your network on? If you think you’re going to hit the Jackpot on Instagram and you have 300 followers, you’ve got some work to do. If you don’t like social media, I simply need to pray for you! Yes, you can do this business without social media, but what will you do in the next 5 to 10 years when there will be a shift in how we gain business! This is the site you should focus on and ad one social media site to grow.
- yes, you “need a professional” photo shoot. Can’t pay for it yet? Save money and use your mobile phone and have a kid, teen or college student take photos.
- Create a google form with a free giveaway or giveaway. Yes i have one in my link tree. See below and listen to hear my additional 14 tips:

Creative ways to get seller leads

If you want to have consistent income, consistent leads, consistent closings, you must consistently follow up and consistently manage the transaction and follow up. No one can make you do this business. I can motivate you everyday, but if you're excited at the end and then you go back to your regular routine of being stuck, you're stuck. I get it, there are days when I am stuck, but you must snap out of it. if you never pull the trigger, you've got some hard questions to answer? Are you ready for this business.
