Reno Real Estate Market

  DO WHAT THEY SAY AND KEEP DOING IT. All to often people are moving out of one strategy to move into the "secret" strategy they think will make them successful.  Its like taking a recipe that makes the most delicious meal and messing with it. The ingredients are already there.  Have you ever said, I hate onions, only to find out that your favorite dish is cooked with onions?  Sometimes you have to have the onions mixed in there to get the best final result. The dish would 't be the same without the onions. [Can you tell I'm not a huge fan of onions? But, I know that onions are what put that little extra something something into some of my favorite dishes.]   Its simple, but not easy.

I've been mentoring and coaching other real estate agents for just under a year now and have realized some of the things people are looking for are exactly what I can offer.  Through a desire to be the best darn mentor/coach I can be, I am constantly trying to improve and research for better ways to help others.  Through coaching and mentoring others, it's helped me to be accountable to having reliable systems, tools, & schedules within my own business.

After realizing I outgrew my TR coach I had after only one year, I ventured out seeking out someone new who could help me with my business at the level its at now. After inter...

OWNING YOUR REFERRAL MARKET Someone once asked me, how do you get all these people to refer clients to you? I wasn't really sure, because what came naturally to me, I found out, does not come naturally to everyone. After a brain storming session regarding Referral Markets and what makes them, I came up with this: I just received a referral from a guy I met only once. He contacted me because of my MeetUP Group inquiring about the Reno Market. He is a coordinator of investors who are lending money (Syndication) to Builders who cannot obtain lending otherwise in various markets.  He asked to meet me, so I bought him lunch a month ago and met with him on a Saturday. I’ve had no other contact with him, and he is referring one of his company's investors to me who is potentially moving to the area. What could have been considered a waste of time with a stranger turned into a Referral.  Referral Markets do not happen over night, unless you are and have always been a nurt...
