Making the Right Connections: Who to Call in Your Prospecting Efforts

Good morning and welcome back to Mike Ferry TV. It's the week of March 4th. We have two months down. Ten great months to go for all of us in Real Estate. I'm going to talk a little bit again about the inventory shortage, which is an ongoing conversation in our industry. And it's a problem that is very solvable. The reason why we're having a hard time with it is that the majority of agents in Real Estate today work with buyers versus sellers. I think I've probably shared in the past that in the 60s and 70s, if an agent did 20-30 transactions, half were listing sold, half were buyer-controlled sales. That has changed dramatically. We don't have enough...

How To Become A Better Listing Agent In 2024

Welcome back. Good morning from Mike Ferry TV it is the week of February 26th. This has been a little bit longer month than we normally have in the month of February, so I hope that it has been productive for each of you. I wrote down a question how do we become a better or even a great listing agent? Because I think all of us are aware that the biggest challenge the industry faces today is the inventory shortage. That problem has taken place or been in place since COVID took place a few years ago. And it's interesting when you look at the reasons why that shortage is in play and has remained in play. You start...

I said, "Well, we're getting closer to the end, and we might as well do all we can to lead a productive, you know, very, very profitable and enjoyable life while this time on earth is there for us." We never know how long the Real Estate market is going to last in a positive mode. Nor do we know how long it's going to last...

Welcome my good morning to Mike Ferry TV. It's the week of February 12th. The month's good days and the weeks go by faster and faster. So let's get right to it. About, uh, ten days ago, I had the chance to see an article that was published on some of the social media sites, and the article was titled the 12 Hard or 10 Hard Rules of Selling and Doing Business in Life. And I thought it was an interesting article. And I took that article and I adapted it to you and I in the Real Estate business, and I changed the title to The 10 Challenges of Selling Real Estate in High Volume. Because the truth is, you...

Breaking The Real Estate Cycles: Mike Ferry’s 6 Words For Success

Welcome and good morning to Mike Ferry TV. It is the week of February 5th. One month down, 11 to go. Hopefully you're off to a fast start. I'm asked all the time, what is the state of the market going to be in the first quarter? And it appears that with interest rates slowly coming down and a lot of buyers in the market, those of you that are working on taking listings are going to have a really good time, because there should be multiple offers coming in again in the first quarter of this year. But really, the truth is, what happens in Real Estate is cyclical. As we've talked in the past. You know, there's good points,...

10 Reasons Why Agents Give Up on the Goals They Have Set

You're back on your schedule, you've got your goals written out, you know what you want to accomplish. And hopefully these thoughts today will help you do it.

Or why did we give up so quickly when the opportunities we have in real estate...
