* “Low supply, lack of foreclosures, low interest rates, and high demand are fueling this insane market right now.”

* “Stick with medium price and below. If you want to create a production line with flipping, you don’t need to reinvent the wheel. Just focus on getting really good deals and feeding them into your pipeline. If you do get above medium price, consider wholesaling them.”

* Being a good listener makes you a good salesperson.

“If you can listen and then occasionally ask the right questions to guide a conversation, people tell you exactly how to sell. They’ll tell you everything they need, everything they’re concerned about, every reason why they would be in business with you and every reason why they wouldn’t, and you can use all that to craft a great presentation.”

* “The best salespeople love ‘no’.”

* “Too much real estate knowledge might impede sales.”
