  • Seller Appointment Mastery: How to Find Deals on Social Media
    2025/04/17

    If you’re looking for an easy seller lead source, Facebook is one of the best places to be.

    You might think it’s just a platform for old people sharing memes, but there’s a lot more to it than that.

    Facebook is the most powerful marketing tool Agent-Investors have in our business, and the best part is, it’s free! I’ve heard people say they can’t get leads on social media.

    The truth is: if you’re not getting leads, you’re just not doing the necessary activities to generate them.

    By posting daily and getting eyeballs on your content, you can supply your business with a steady stream of seller leads that will become listings or investment deals.

    Ultimately, Facebook is free advertising that keeps you top-of-mind with the people you’re looking for.

    How do you grow your social media footprint and get your content in front of more people? What should you post?

    In this episode, I dive into the second way to find seller leads and investing deals - and today, I’m talking about how to turn Facebook into a lead source.

    Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

    -How to reach more people on Facebook

    The whole point of social media is to get as many eyeballs on your content as possible. How do you grow your friend list/subscriber base?

    -The best place to find motivated sellers

    Some younger agents might think Facebook is for old people. Why is it the perfect place to be if you’re looking for seller leads?

    -How to create your Facebook strategy

    What kind of content should we post to generate seller appointments on Facebook? How often should we post?

  • Seller Appointment Mastery: How to Leverage Home Valuation Leads
    2025/04/10

    Tired of riding the real estate commission rollercoaster? There’s one simple fix: more seller appointments.

    Locking in just 1-3 seller appointments a week will transform your business. More listings. More income. A scalable, burnout-free business. Plus, you’ll uncover more investment deals and flip opportunities.

    A steady flow of seller appointments is the first step toward financial freedom—but how do you get them without spending hours cold-calling?

    The answer: a home valuation call-to-action. Homeowners are naturally curious about their home’s value, and they want something more accurate than a Zestimate. For a small investment (as low as $10), you can turn that curiosity into a steady stream of seller leads.

    In this episode, I break down why this is one of the most cost-effective ways to book more seller appointments—and how you can start using it today.

    Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

    -A quality lead at a fraction of the price

    Home valuation leads aren’t looking to sell their houses fast, so why would we choose them over instant offer leads?

    -What makes home valuation leads so effective

    Instead of cold calling, hoping you have the correct number, and possibly pestering people, home valuation leads have already opted in. Why does this make converting them easier?

    -How to work a home valuation lead

    Is it better to pay a service to generate home valuation leads or to do it yourself?

  • How to Increase Your Seller Appointments and Get More Deals
    2025/04/03

    If you want to build a thriving real estate sales career and create wealth through investing, there’s one activity you need to consistently prioritize: generating seller appointments.

    Seller appointments are the driving force behind all your success in real estate. In fact, I believe they’re the single most important factor for running a successful real estate operation.

    For agents, seller appointments lead to listings, and for investors, they reveal lucrative flip opportunities.

    The benefits of focusing on seller appointments are numerous. You can earn more money in less time. Your business is more scalable. You can turn some of these seller appointments into cash offers, giving you the income needed to invest in long-term buy-and-hold properties.

    Yet, when I speak to agents, I often hear resistance to generating seller appointments.

    But here’s the truth: you already possess 95% of the skills you need—what’s missing is consistency.

    In this episode, I’m launching a new series on the power of generating seller appointments and why they’re the key to becoming a successful Agent Investor.

    Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

    -How to find deals with cold calling

    Some agents struggle to generate seller appointments because they think they have to cold call. Are there other ways to get in front of sellers?

    -Buyer vs. sellers

    Having a 100% buyer-based business is a huge nightmare in real estate. Why is it smarter to work with more sellers?

    -The foundation of the Agent Investor model

    How can you turn cash offer deals into guaranteed monthly income that will take you off the real estate rollercoaster?

  • Why Your Social Media Isn’t Making You Money—And How to Fix It
    2025/03/20

    Are you struggling to turn your social media presence into a consistent income stream for your real estate business?

    You're not alone. Many real estate professionals are putting in hours of work posting on social media, but still aren’t seeing the income results they hoped for. It’s frustrating, right? You understand social media’s power, but the real question is: how does it actually work to generate real, consistent income?

    Here’s the truth: the objective of social media isn't just about posting pretty pictures or listing updates. It’s about building trust, connection, and offering value. Without this, you’re wasting your time.

    In today’s digital world, authenticity is the secret ingredient. If you’re just posting for the sake of posting, your audience will see right through it. They want to connect with you, not a brand. Being authentic—sharing your real self, your stories, your challenges—builds that trust and turns followers into clients.

    In this episode, I talk about the value social media, how to leverage it to generate income for real estate businesses and why a personal touch adds value when it comes to posting.

    Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

    -Social media advertising vs traditional methods for real estate.

    Social media advertising allows for precise audience targeting and real-time engagement, unlike traditional ads. How does the ability to target specific audiences on social media enhance advertising effectiveness?

    -Monitor social media engagement.

    Monitoring social media engagement helps businesses understand customer preferences, track brand sentiment, and adjust strategies accordingly. How can tracking social media engagement enhance your real estate business?

    -Why a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work for social media.

    A one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t account for the unique audiences of different businesses. How can businesses tailor their social media strategies to better engage their specific audience?

  • The Agent-Investor Advantage: How to Leverage Your Real Estate Expertise to Build Wealth
    2025/03/06

    Many agents find themselves stuck in a cycle, spending countless hours showing homes, closing deals, and still feeling like they’re not getting ahead. Imagine waking up every day to a life that’s different—not just in what you do, but how you live.

    What would it feel like to work fewer hours, generate more income, and actually create wealth for yourself instead of just earning a commission?

    This is the reality for agent-investors. As an agent-investor, you not only help clients buy and sell homes—you also own properties, build your portfolio, and watch your income grow from multiple sources. This shift in mindset and strategy means you don’t just rely on your commission to pay the bills. Instead, you can leverage your real estate expertise to build a lasting, passive income that works for you 24/7.

    How would it feel to have income streams that aren't tied to client transactions? Imagine building generational wealth through real estate investments.

    In this episode, I discuss how becoming an agent investor can transform your life, your work, and help create lasting wealth for future generations.

    Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

    -Agent investing made easy

    Being a real estate agent makes investing easier since you already have the tools—just minor adjustments are needed. What small tweaks can agents make to succeed in real estate investing?

    -Pick your own clients

    As an agent-investor, you have the flexibility to choose your clients, unlike traditional agents who often take on any client. How does selecting your clients as an agent-investor impact the way you work?

    -Agent vs.agent-investor

    An agent facilitates transactions, while an agent-investor builds wealth by actively investing in real estate. How do you transition from selling properties to building a real estate portfolio?
