Think Bigger Real Estate

When we try to be real estate professionals who serve everyone, we become ones who serve no one. Alternatively, when we harness the power of brand focus by defining a specific niche and going ALL-IN on hearing, understanding, speaking to, and serving them, our brand gains traction. We become known for something and gain traction in the minds of those we have chosen to serve. Yet the question remains, "What niche should I choose, and how can I focus on that niche without missing out on other important opportunities outside of that niche?"We'll answer this question and more with Lauren Pain, a top real estate agent out of the Dripping Springs, Texas, market (@drippinginrealestate).

Successful businesses AND Significant lives—that is the definition of Thinking Bigger and the message we are sending to all real estate agents.You can have BOTH.The only caveat is that you MUST surround yourself with those who value significance.What is significance, and how does pursuing a significant life drastically increase one's ability to have a successful business?These questions are answered in this episode.Be sure you DO NOT miss our conversation with the one and only Brent Gove, the leader of a 21,000 real estate organization who got to where he's at by choosing significance.

As real estate agents, we have a choice to make. We can become minimized by technology, or we can leverage the power of technology to embrace digital transformation. In this episode, we help you distinguish between those who will be run over by technology and those who will harness its power to better serve their clients. Caroline Hobbs built Reward Realty from the ground up, which was voted the Best Brokerage in Town in 2022. She was also a top 3% Producer in the Santa Clara County Association of Realtors in 2023.

The value proposition of real estate agents is under attack. Consumers are being bombarded with "expert pundit opinions" about what they should or should not pay a real estate agent in the future.The reality is that mere transactional agents who do not have a clear value proposition will be deeply impacted by the industry's pending changes. The good news is that relationship-based agents with a clear value proposition can thrive like never before. One of the ways this will be true for you is by finding the more significant meaning in selling real estate. Join us for this special episode in which we interview an author, a coach and a top-producing real estate agent out of Flagstaff, Arizona, as she helps us connect additional dots of the more significant meaning of selling real estate.

Most real estate agents underutilize the power of social media to:-Expand their reputation-Deepen their relationships-Increase their referralsWhy is that? It's because they either over-think the process or they are measuring the wrong metrics. On this episode of the Think Bigger Real Estate Podcast, my new Co-Host, Stephanie Peck, and I interview the CEO and Lead Strategist of "Oh Snap!" a leading social media firm.Here we discuss measuring what matters as well as a friendly strategy to unstick your social media in just one hour per week.

Today is the day that I announce my line in the sand. The time has come for me to stop tip-toeing... to stop treading lightlyAs I mentioned last week... I am DONE! ❌I'm done playing small. I'm done giving loyalty to those who never even asked for it. I'm done being quiet at the expense of: -my potential-my family-those whom I could have been reaching and servingAnd built into all of this is a HUGE lesson for you. This is one you don't want to miss.
