Monday Mar 18, 2024
Monday Mar 18, 2024
What are your feelings about Facebook? Love it? Hate it? Barely use it? While it doesn’t necessarily feel like it, Facebook is still the largest social media platform with over 3 billion monthly active users. That is over 37% of the entire world population and over 57% of the world's internet users. This means of all the social media platforms, leveraging Facebook for growth in your business is statistically going to get you the most attention.
If you are anything like us, Facebook is not where you were placing the majority of your focus. This is a mistake. If you dig even further into the numbers about demographics, users, and advertising, Facebook looks like an increasingly powerful tool for your marketing strategies. And with Facebook it’s not just ads, you can take advantage of participation and activity in groups, connect with entirely different audiences from your other channels, and present yourself and the information you are sharing in a different format from the other popular apps like Instagram and TikTok. This week we are going to dive into some of the ways that we are approaching Facebook and why it’s going to be getting even more of our attention going forward. Let’s dive in!
We are so excited to announce our first ever FREE live webinar on Wednesday, April 3rd where we will break down how to create a real estate brand that converts and grows your business without wasting money on online leads. Grab your seat at

Have you heard about house hacking?

It all started with purchasing a duplex and renting out half of it! This is an educational and inspiring conversation diving into the investing strategy known as house hacking. Conor is passionate about this subject and loves to educate and encourage others on their own journey. This episode is one not to miss. Let’s dive in!

Episode 143: You Don't Need Online Leads
Monday Feb 26, 2024
Monday Feb 26, 2024
Are you dumping thousands of dollars into online leads that aren’t converting? Or maybe you are converting leads and you want to build a more organic and sustainable business without them. We are just going to come out and say it - you don’t need online leads to be successful! Far too often agents get hung up on thinking they need to be paying for leads to have success, and it’s just not true. In fact there are many other ways to have a much better ROI.
Many agents are skipping the basics that are foundational to a real estate agent’s success and instead they tell themselves they need online leads. What if you tried working more on your current database instead of writing a check for leads that may not ever convert? You can be more than just a “one and done” Realtor by building and nurturing your past clients. What does that look like? It means serving your clients at the highest level so that they come back again and again, and refer you to family and friends. You want to be front of mind when someone in your sphere of influence needs a Realtor and this week we are going to dive into all of our strategies for generating leads without buying them from Zillow. Let’s dive in!
