    One Tiny MLS Mistake That Can Land You in Legal Hell (and How to Dodge the Bullet)
    2025/04/08

    Welcome to this power-packed episode where we uncover hidden opportunities, strategies for navigating a shifting market, and crucial steps to protect your business.

    Segment 1: Unleashing Your Hidden Network

    New business often lies within your existing contacts. Don't overlook those you interact with regularly.

    Friends and Family: Their networks can be referral goldmines.

    Wowing a friend of a friend can build goodwill.

    Everyone knows someone looking to buy or sell.

    Ask for referrals, positioning yourself as the go-to agent.

    Share what you do with everyone you meet.

    Rapport-inducing activities like meals are great times to ask for referrals.

    Start conversations with real estate-adjacent topics.

    Contractors and Landscapers: Valuable sources for business and client goodwill.

    Keep an extensive list to help clients with renovations.

    This builds your reputation as a knowledgeable expert.

    Don't hesitate to ask these professionals for client referrals.

    Be cordial and professional when asking.

    Local Chamber of Commerce Members: Stay informed on business trends and government connections.

    Their network can help clients with various needs.

    Even tangential business conversations can yield valuable "social capital".

    Segment 2: Thriving in a Tough Real Estate Market

    Despite market challenges, many agents reported higher income in 2024.

    The percentage of agents earning six figures increased.

    Those who navigated the recent "rollercoaster ride" are thriving.

    Success isn’t about working harder, but working smarter.

    Be Kind to Yourself: Everyone is adapting to market shifts. Focus on taking action over self-doubt.

    Commit to Daily Prospecting Calls: You're providing a valuable service by offering guidance in a changing market. Aim for two real estate-related conversations daily.

    Maximize Open Houses: Powerful lead generation tools. Aim for at least one every weekend. Borrow listings if needed. Make them stand out by choosing off-peak hours and inviting neighbors.

    Lock In Your Farm Area: Consistent business comes from a strong farm. Choose an area where you can gain market share and that aligns with your business goals. Look for neighborhoods with reasonable turnover.

    Invest in Your Skills: Dedicate time weekly to learning through books, videos, or coaching. Sharpening your skills is crucial for better performance.

    Top brokerages and agents find ways to succeed regardless of economic conditions.

    Adapting to change is essential for survival and gaining a competitive edge.

    Segment 3: Avoiding Costly MLS Errors

    Accurate MLS data is crucial for good service and informed decisions.

    Inaccurate data skews statistical results and can lead to missed opportunities.

    Brokers and agents must ensure every field is accurate and complete.

    Everyone using MLS data relies on its accuracy.

    Errors can harm sellers, buyers, and future transactions.

    REALTORS® commit to not presenting misleading information.

    Six Common MLS Inputting Errors to Avoid:Omitting or Incorrectly Reporting Concessions: Appraisers require this information. Be responsive to appraiser inquiries. Understand how concessions differ from compensation post-NAR settlement. Provide details on how concessions were used.

    Specifying the Wrong Property Type: "Townhome" is a style, not ownership. Incorrect listing can cause confusion and fines.

    Mistaking Terms: Understand the difference between "walk-out" and "walk-up" basements.

    Making Square Footage Errors: Below-grade space typically doesn't count as above-grade living area. Basements and other features like ADUs should be listed separately.

    Depending on Public Records: Verify square footage; don't assume public records are correct. Inaccurate reporting can lead to lawsuits.

    Omitting or Incorrectly Reporting Information on Solar Systems: Owned vs. leased systems, loan details, and panel specifications are important.

    Conclusion:

    By creatively leveraging your network, adapting smart strategies for a dynamic market, and meticulously avoiding MLS errors, you can navigate the real estate landscape effectively and build a thriving business.

    Next Steps:

    Review your contact list and identify overlooked connections.

    Implement one new prospecting strategy this week.

    Double-check your next MLS listing for accuracy, especially regarding concessions and square footage.
