What you do now (regardless of the future of the market) will determine your success going into 2021…

If you want to have a great start in 2021, here are the FACTS you have to remember:

1. In terms of your business, 2021 has already started because every lead you get now will pay you in 2021. The actions that you take now will determine your momentum going into the new year.
2. December is the BEST time to get business because you have the most motivated leads and the least competition. Sellers (and buyers) are ready to buy/sell because they need to move now, and you get less competition because most agents aren’t working during the holidays.
3. This is the perfect time to reconnect with your Personal Circle (your sphere of influence). You don’t have to ask them for business. Just reach out to them and wish them, “Happy Holidays”.

The future of the market is not as important as your future. Make 2021 great by taking action NOW.

If you’re committed to making 2021 your best year ever…join me for 3 days of intense training at Agent Mastery Live Virtual 2021: Winning “The Year After”. You’ll learn how to systematically DESIGN your business, strategically INCREASE your income, and successfully CREATE the life you want.  Sign up for the waitlist here: https://www.agentmasterylive.com/amlwaitlist

Here are 7 strategies to make your presentation extremely powerful

1. Master the in-person listing presentation. Master the script, don’t read it. Get your FREE download of the YesMasters Listing presentation from the Agent Power Pack here . Role play on Zoom and record yourself, so you can replay it and learn.

2. Zoom in your camera. Face the camera at eye-level, leaving just a bit of space between the top of your head and the top of the screen. Have a good webcam and good lighting in front of you. Check out this Diva Ring Light: https://amzn.to/33Ck6rK

3. Smile and nod more than ever. These are visual cues that make people trust & like you because they see that you’re interested.

4. Have a powerful voice & good audio. Be articulate and don’t talk fast, so they understand you. Get a quality mic like the Yeti Blue mic (https://amzn.to/3mJ86MQ)

5. Eye contact. Look directly at the camera (not at the computer screen), so you’re looking them in the eye.

6. Engage them with questions. The listing presentation that you’ll get in the FREE Agent Power Pack is a question-based presentation that engages them. It becomes a real conversation where they’re engaged and feel that you care about them.

7. Expect a decision on the Zoom. Be mentally prepared that they will decide on the call. Have the e-docs ready for them to sign (Docusign in their inbox).

What do you do when a FSBO is way off the mark with what he would take for his property?

The FSBO is off on price because nobody has helped them understand what the right price is.

And if you decide to not talk to them because they’re unrealistic about price, when the time comes that they’re ready to move…you’ll miss the chance to be the agent that helps them.

It doesn’t matter how unrealistic they are about the price. What matters is their MOTIVATION.

Use the initial FSBO text message script to get them on the phone, so you can follow up with the FSBO script and identify their motivation.

…because that’s the one moving part when it comes to winning with FSBOs.

Get your of the Agent Power Pack https://mastery.yesmasters.com/powerpack that includes the 2020 edition of the FSBO Script and the FSBO Text Message Script.

A scarcity mindset is costing you hassle, pain, and actual money.

Here are lessons I’ve learned about how “saving” money on something will cost you in the end.

1. Choices have consequences. The decisions you make on everything (and not just the things you buy) will have consequences on your life. For instance, when you choose to neglect your health now, and then something that you’re not prepared for happens to you, it will affect the quality of your life. 
2. “When you invest in the best, you only suffer once.” -Zig Ziglar. You’ll be saving yourself more money and pain if you spend a little more on something that lasts, than have to pay more for repairs in the future. 
3. Start focusing on having more money and stop focusing on “saving” money. Because you don’t “save” money by buying cheap. Raise your income…that’s how you save time and money. 

Decide to make enough money to afford the things you want and to be able to help more people. When you shift from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset. It will change your life.

How do you beat procrastination, stay focused, and get more done?

Here are 3 ways that other people can help you become more productive:

1. Get an accountability partner. This is the lowest level of accountability though, because having somebody else hold you accountable can work only in the short term. This kind of accountability slows down change for you because it’s an external force that pushes you to action. It means you’re not ready to take responsibility for your own business and success. Having a coach hold you accountable will only work for a short period of time…until YOU create your own habits of productivity. 
2. Change the level of your association. Hang out with top producers and learn from them. Position yourself to develop a relationship with them. When you commit to earning the right to be their friend, this forces you to perform at a higher level.
3. Have a big dream. Want something so bad that it fuels you to do whatever it takes to have it. This burning desire is the most powerful thing that will give you the internal accountability to keep you focused and productive.

Winning in real estate is all about finding motivated sellers and inspiring them to hire you. 

In 2021, the big opportunity will be homeowners coming out of forbearance. 

But RIGHT NOW, here are the TOP 5 OPPORTUNITIES (motivated sellers)  for realtors:

5. Non-owner occupied homes. Ask your title rep for software (e.g. fastpeoplesearch.com, Remine.com)  to help you get information on the following:: 

• Vacation Homes. 2nd & 3rd homes.
• Vacation Rentals (AirBnB’s)
• Investors who own rental property. They bought low, will now sell high.
• Vacant properties. 

4. Personal Circle. These are people you already know, like, and trust you. Ask them who they know is looking to buy or sell real estate.

3. Motivated FSBOs. They need the best agent that can get them the best result because they realize how hard it is now to deal with buyers.

2. Motivated Expired Listings

1. Downsizers (including Luxury homes)

To help you, I’m giving you the Agent Power Pack for FREE. It’s your complete agent success toolkit that has our best core scripts & training material that have made agents 6 and 7-figure incomes. Download it here for free.

With all the uncertainty in the real estate market, how do you give buyers and sellers advice on what to do?

Here are three keys to giving buyers and sellers good advice:

1. Identify their motivation. Figure out if they want to move and their reasons behind it.
2. Serve their best interest. It’s not your job to talk them out of what they want. It’s about the client...not you.
3. Be a problem solver. Educate them on their options. Lay out the pros and cons and help them decide based on what THEY want. Click here to watch my video on How to Keep Up with Market Changes and become the expert on market statistics https://youtu.be/YMYstOHTQiI. You can also download a FREE MARKET TRACKER on that video.

Your position as an agent is to act on your client’s behalf. They have to know that you’re a competent professional who can guide them in making a decision that’s in their best interest.

We’ve all been hit with coronavirus anxiety. How do you take care of your mental health during Covid-19?

Here are 5 things you can do to stay happy in the middle of the pandemic:

1. Choose not to participate. Abide by Covid safety protocols but decide not to be a victim of fear and paranoia.
2. Eliminate negativity. Inform yourself about what’s important, but select the kind of news you’re taking in. Insulate yourself from negative people.
3. Hang out with positive people. Have physically-distanced, mini get-togethers with 2 or 3 friends. If you can’t hang out physically, do it on Zoom.
4. Focus. Focus on your dreams. Think about what you can do to achieve your goals. Keep moving forward.
5. Have a powerful morning ritual. This is what lights the fire for the day and keeps you going.

• Exercise. Break up a sweat for 20 mins. It releases good hormones and energy.
• Journaling. Write down 5 things you’re grateful for. Write how you’re feeling, good or bad. At the end of the day, write down your wins for the day.
• Meditation. Take some time to calm your mind. Use a mobile app to guide you.
• Daily declarations. Declare to the world the realities that you want to create in your life.

How do you price a home right?

Do a good CMA. Get started with this FREE CMA Cheat Sheet. Click here to download. Don’t trust Zestimates on Zillow because they’re inaccurate.

But what do you do when there are no good comps?

1) Ask an experienced top listing agent who has sold a lot of homes in that neighborhood to help you.

2) Get help from a knowledgeable appraiser.
– Ask your lender to connect you to an appraiser.
– Call the appraiser. Explain your situation.
– Send a “thank you” note and gift to both lender and appraiser.

It’s so important to get the best information to get a property priced right. This is your responsibility to your seller. If you want to get more in-depth training on how to accurately price properties so you get all your listings sold, click here to check out our CMA Mastery Course.

Real estate is one of the greatest career paths in the world (if you have what it takes!). Here’s a quick 5-point test to see if you should become a real estate agent.

Do not become a realtor if you are…

1. Lazy.
2. Impatient. If you think you’ll make a 6-figure income overnight.
3. A DIY-er. (Do-It-Yourself-er) If you’d rather figure it out on your own.
4. A Quitter. If you give up easily and just want to “try” it out.
5. Not driven. If you need somebody else to hold you accountable.

A real estate career is for you if you’re willing to work hard and get training & coaching from someone who already has the success that you want. And if you have a big dream, that will pull you through whatever failure comes your way.

What’s happening to the real estate market?

Everything feels calm now but the real estate tsunami is still coming. And by the time it hits, it’s going to be too late to prepare.

How do you prepare for what is coming?

1. Pay attention to your market. Study market statistics, people’s moving patterns, etc. Watch my previous blog about this https://youtu.be/YMYstOHTQiI
2. Pay attention to the real economy. This is not the stock market. It’s about income, consumer confidence, and debt. These impact the cost of living.
3. Get your mind, money, and market strategy ready.
   a. Keep your head in the game even when other people are panicking. Crisis always creates opportunity for those who are prepared.
   b. Be prepared with your money. Sell houses, make money and keep money so you’re financially secure.
   c. Work only with highly motivated clients and price your listings right.

Real estate commissions are 100% negotiable. The usual full service commission is 5-6%. A discount commission is 3-4.5%.

A Flat fee brokerage charges a set fee (a percentage of the sales price) instead of a commission. This is paid upfront whereas full service commissions are paid out of escrow at closing.

Commissions are typically split between the listing broker(seller’s side) and the selling broker (buyer’s side). The broker owns all commissions because he owns the listing. The broker pays the agent his cut of the commission (usually a 70-30 split between broker & agent).

When the listing broker puts a listing on the MLS and offers a cooperative offer of commission, it’s traditionally a 50-50 split between the listing side (3%) and the selling side (3%).

Only licensed agents and brokers can get paid in a transaction.

How are referral fees paid? A 30% referral fee (taken out of the listing side of the commission) goes to the referring broker.

Real estate commissions are worth it because clients are paying for the value of the service that a skilled agent delivers. When a skilled agent nets his client the most money, this more than covers his commission.

How do you get your seller in a multiple offer situation so that you can sell their house for the most money?

Here are 5 Steps to Creating FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) With Buyers:

1. Good Price. A good price gets buyers excited because they know that it’s going to go fast.
2. Limit Showings. Limit showings to 20-30 minute slots on certain days and times. (e.g. Fri 4-6pm, sat 11-2pm, sunday 1-4pm). Set up a showing calendar on the MLS or use an appointment-setting app like Calendly with a link that the buyers or agent can click to book.
3. Clear Instructions. In the showing instructions on the MLS, be clear on how to schedule a showing appointment. Give them the link to schedule and then confirm with a text message or a phone call.
4. Easy Appointments. Have a sign rider onto your FOR SALE sign on the house that says, “To schedule an appointment, go to <property website>. On the website, have the scheduling link and other scheduling instructions.
5. Massive Communication. Let the buyers or buyer’s agent know what to expect at the showing appointment.

This is all part of what I train called the10-day selling system that allows you to literally sell a listing for 10 days or less. I’ll be training on this in detail at Agent Mastery Live Virtual 2020. Click here to learn more about www.agentmasterylive.com.

These are the most common questions I’ve been getting lately about real estate, the economy, and the future of the market:

Q. What should I be investing in, if now’s not a good time to buy real estate?
A. Invest in gold and silver if you’re looking for a hedge vs. inflation or a safe haven when the dollar collapses.

Q. Who do we sell houses to if people don’t have jobs?
(If you haven’t yet, Watch my previous blog on the HOUSING MARKET FORECAST for 2020 here: https://yesmasters.com/housing-market-forecast-2020-factors-does-it-matter/)

A. Sell houses to people who HAVE jobs. For every piece of real estate, there is always going to be a buyer. People looking to buy a house will buy.

Q. Will house prices shoot up with massive inflation?
A. Probably not. There can be inflation in some areas (e.g. consumer products) and deflation in others (e.g. real estate). House prices will not shoot up because people have less money to buy houses. Real estate will not appreciate dramatically as the dollar loses value.

Q. Are rental prices going up or down?
A. It depends on the area because nowadays, there’s not one real estate market across the U.S. What’s happening in one market may be different in another.

Q. What is going to happen with interest rates?
A. Because of the national debt and the Feds printing money, interest rates will stay low.

Four key factors that will impact the future of the housing market:

1. The Real Economy. When income is down, consumer spending is low.
2. Forbearance. When forbearance becomes due by September or October, and people decide to sell because they can’t make their payments, there will be a first wave of inventory hitting the market. When the moratorium on foreclosures gets lifted, there will be a lot of distressed sellers coming on the market. Supply will go up, and prices will drop.
3. Government Stimulus. How long will the Federal Reserve continue printing Fiat currency (nothing backing up the US dollar)? If the Republicans win after the elections, things will be the same. If the Democrats take control, taxes will go up, and homeowners will get hit harder by higher taxes.
4. National Debt. Fiat currency over time lessens the buying power of the dollar and leads to massive inflation.

What’s more important than obsessing over what’s going to happen to the market is that you sell a lot of houses today and prepare for when the economy gets worse.

Now is the time to focus on finding people to help and mastering the skills to get them the best results.

Be the one they can trust!

How do you gain trust and credibility with people you know (and don’t know) so you can win business?

Here are the 4 Superpowers to Build Trust

1. 1. Commitment. “I got your back.” Commit to helping your clients. Also, be committed to learn and master the skills of delivering the best results. So they’ll believe you when you say that you got their back.
   2. Caring. “You matter to me”. Care about them and what they need so they believe that they matter to you.
   3. Competence. “I’ll take care of it.” They have to trust that you have the skills to take care of things. Train, put in the work, and do what you say.
   4. Courage. “I will always tell you the truth.”Have the courage to tell them the truth (without any B.S.), no matter what.

When you become the one that people trust, there is no competition.

I previously did a video on How to Do a Virtual Listing Presentation https://yesmasters.com/how-to-do-a-virtual-listing-presentation/but face-to-face meetings are still more powerful.

Here are 4 key strategies for communicating effectively when you need to wear a mask and practice social distancing when meeting people in person.

1. Pay special attention. Listen extra hard to what they’re saying when they’re talking and they’re wearing a face mask,
2. Speak louder and more clearly. Exaggerate your mouth movements, making sure that you articulate your words. Speak slower so people can understand you.
3. Exaggerate your body gestures. Smile bigger, so they can see how you feel even with a mask because a large part of our communication is body language.
4. Wear a see-through face mask https://buy.theclearmask.com/ . This makes 2-way communication more effective because you get to see each other’s facial expressions as you talk.

Communication is so critical in inspiring people to hire you. Don’t stop connecting because people that need your help are still out there. Figure out the best way to communicate with them and you can always expect YES!

How do you handle this objection: “We decided to wait to sell our house until after the coronavirus has passed.”

Watch this clip from one of our weekly coaching roleplay calls to learn how to specifically answer this objection.

We modified the “We’re taking our house off the market” script on page 99 of The Book of YES (get your free copy HERE) for the coronavirus objection.

3 things you should remember:

1. It’s about their motivation, not yours.
2. Connect before trying to convince. Earn their trust and put their best interest first. Let them know that you genuinely care about them and want to get them what they want.
3. Your job is to be a problem-solver. Find out their concerns and figure out a no-B.S. solution that gets them the best results.

How are you handling it? Are you doing anything differently? Let me know in the comments section.

Master these 5 steps to get to the top 1% of realtors:

3. Inspire the hire. Master leading people to a decision to say YES to you.
4. Deliver results. Master giving them great results every time.

Why don’t most people achieve their goals?

Because they don’t follow the formula for achievement.

Success is not just about luck. It’s about following a formula that anybody can do, regardless of your background.

Here’s the 4-step formula for achievement

1. Have a burning desire. Know what you want and want it so bad that you become obsessed with it and will do anything to get it.
2. Create a sound plan for attaining your goals. When you’re clear about what you want, you can always figure out how to get it. And when you try something that doesn’t work, it’s just an experiment…There is no failure. You can get that sound plan from somebody else who already has the results you want, so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. If you want to have a sound plan to achieve your real estate goals, go to https://yesmasters.com/.
3. Continuous effort. Be willing to put in the work and do it. Don’t lose sight of your goal, so you don’t burn out. A fire does not burn out from how long it burns. It burns out only when it runs out of fuel. And it’s the power of a dream that will fuel you.
4. Cooperation of other people. Have a team, get a mentor. Get around people that will fuel your fire and support your dream.

Is it time to sell?

If you’re considering selling your house in the next two years, do it now while interest rates are low, buyers are buying, and home prices are high.

In 6-12 months, most homeowners in forbearance will want to sell. Inventory will go up, demand will go down, and home prices will drop.

If you’re going to sell, the most important thing is to price your home correctly, so it sells fast. This increases your chance to get multiple offers for it. If it sits on the market too long, you will end up chasing the market down.

Is it time to buy?

Here are 3 considerations:

1. If you need a place to live- If you plan to own a house for at least 5 years, and you have a stable income, take advantage of the current low interest rates. Find an aggressive agent who can get you a good deal.
2. If you want to time the market. If you’re looking for the best deal on a house, wait 12 months when there’s a high probability that prices will drop.
3. If you’re an investor. Don’t buy now when the market is at its peak. Stash cash and watch. Don’t fix and flip because of market volatility.

What’s going to happen in real estate after the pandemic?

Here are the 5 factors that drive the housing market:

1. Demographics. Baby boomers own 53% of homes in America. They own big houses and will be downsizing in the near future. This will have a big impact on the housing market trend in the next 10 years.
2. Interest rates. Low interest rates incentivize people to buy. 
3. Economy. The rising unemployment rate, mortgages in forbearance, and businesses shut down
4. Consumer confidence. Even with some businesses beginning to open up, people are still conservative with spending. 
5. Government incentives. (Stimulus). How long can the US dollar stay strong? 

THE FUTURE OF REAL ESTATE

Right now, real estate is still moving. There’s massive pent up demand and low inventory. The industry has adapted to this new reality (virtual tours, OH). It’s a hot market for sellers. Low interest rates. Prices are still strong. As long as the federal reserve keeps printing money, it will be okay. 

In the next 6 months, the housing market will move slow but prices will hold steady because the government stimulus will keep the stock market up. With the elections coming, the president will do everything to keep the economy moving along. 

When forbearance ends, most homeowners won’t be able to make their mortgage payments, so they will sell. In 6 months, a lot of distressed sellers will come up. Buyers suddenly have more options, and prices will fall. 

In 2021, home prices will drop, consumer confidence will stay low, and federal stimulus will become less effective, 

If homeowners have been waiting for the right time to sell their house, it’s right now, before the big shift happens.

What should a realtor do?

1. Focus on motivated sellers (e.g. investors selling, airbnbs, downsizers, vacation rentals). 
2. Price your listings ahead of the market. The faster it sells, the better price it will get. It’s more critical in a declining market.

What is the best lead generation and marketing strategy in 2020 and beyond?
It is Your Word Of Mouth Marketing Team (WOMMT).

There will never be a better marketing strategy now and in years to come than having people you know referring you business. These are past clients and people in your Personal Circle (PC) who trust and remember you.

How do you tap into it? You ask for their help.

You train them to be your WOMMT by asking them to keep their eyes open for anybody who might need your help buying or selling a house.

Ask for video testimonials from past clients. Send them links to different platforms where they can also leave you a 5-star review.

There is nothing more powerful than third-party credibility from a testimonial because this is what the public believes and trusts.

This is almost like a passive lead generation strategy. As long as you maintain top-of-mind awareness with people, they will continue bringing you business...even while you sleep!

Motivated sellers are a tremendous opportunity for you to make money in this crisis because they want to sell now. If you haven’t yet watched my previous video where I talk about where to find the BEST motivated sellers in 2020, watch it here <link>.

Another group of motivated sellers is Downsizers. These are:

1. Vacation home owners who own their second or third homes. They want to sell now because they’re worried that the economy will crash.

2. Vacation rentals. (AirBnBs, Vacation Rentals By Owner) Because they suddenly have no cash flow from rentals, most of them can’t make the mortgage payments. They will want to protect their equity and sell fast.

3. Empty nesters. These are couples in their 50’s, 60’s or 70’s left alone in a big house. They won’t take a chance on the economy and are motivated to sell now in order to protect their finances. After selling, you can also help them look for a smaller house to buy. Continue building a relationship with them so they’ll refer you to other homeowners they know who are also looking to downsize.

Reach out to these downsizers and tell them that you can get them the most money from selling their property.

There are still massive opportunities for you to make money and help people at the same time, even as we’re in the middle of a crisis.

Like I said in one of my previous blogs, your lead generation should be focused on sellers. Watch it here >>https://yesmasters.com/the-biggest-real-estate-lead-generation-secret-for-2020-beyond/

And one of the BEST motivated sellers is Investors.

Most of them are in their mid to late 50s, 60s, 70’s and are looking to liquidate their holdings with negative cash flow because they're biggest concern now is financial security. They understand economic cycles, and expect prices to tank. So, they will play it safe and cash out before that happens.

How do you find them?

Look for non-owner occupied properties (find them on software platforms like Remine) and contact the owner.

Continue building relationships with investors (even with those who choose to hold now) because in the future, when the market is down, they will buy more property.

Help them, and you’ll win.

What are your thoughts? Where do you think motivated sellers are? Watch out for part 2 of Where to Find the BEST Motivated Sellers.

On a recent video, I talked about the process of how you switch from doing an in-person listing presentation to a virtual listing presentation.. Watch it here, in case you missed it https://yesmasters.com/how-to-do-a-virtual-listing-presentation/

Now, we dive deeper into the technical side of how you actually do it. (I recommend using Zoom https://zoom.us/ as a video conferencing platform)

Here are the 10 DO’s & DON’Ts when doing a virtual listing presentation:

DO it on your computer with a good internet connection (hardwire or wifi) & a good webcam.
DON’T: Be in your car or in a noisy background. Don’t shoot holding your phone.

DO use an external microphone or headset.
DON’T use the built-in microphone because it picks up all background noise.

DO have your camera at eye level.
DON’T have the camera looking up your nose.

DO have good lighting in front of you that lights up your whole face (e.g. a Diva Ring Light).
DON’T do it in a dark room. Don’t have bright light behind you, or directly above you.

DO practice screen-sharing. You’re in control of the conversation when you’re the one showing them the CMA, your selling system, etc. Practice walking through the things you need to share with them.
DON’T: have other browser tabs open on your computer so you don’t accidentally share something embarrassing or confidential.

DO…Be in a professional setting.
DON’T have a cluttered background. DON’T do a mugshot (with your back up against a wall)
DON’T use Zoom’s fake backgrounds.

DO…Be in business dress.
DON’T be casual about your dress because they’ll think that you’re casual about your business.

DO stand up. Energy is important in a listing presentation, and you have more energy standing up.
DON’T sit back like a couch potato.

DO be prompt and prepped. Log in to your Zoom 10 minutes early.
DON’T wing it, ramble, or be late.

DO be pumped. Be excited and smile. It tells them that you’re excited about helping them, and that’s what they want.
DON’T look worried or be boring.

Did I forget anything? Let me know what you think in the comments below.

The biggest real estate lead generation secret ever is… SELLERS

And now, more than ever, this is really powerful because they give you leverage for more business opportunities.

Here are the 3 types of leverage you get from sellers:

1. Marketing leverage. Every time you get a listing, you get a free billboard for buyers and future sellers in the neighborhood. Make sure you price it right and get it sold. So when other buyers see the sold sign, they’ll know that you’re the agent that gets results.
2. Agent leverage. When you have a listing, you attract buyers and buyers’ agents. These agents then work to bring buyers in for your seller.
3. Deal leverage.

• • Sellers will become buyers after they sell.
  • Sellers attract buyers. Some of these buyers come directly to you, so you have the chance of double ending that sale.
    Homeowners know other homeowners. Sellers can give you referrals after a successful sale.
  • Focus your lead generation on sellers because when you get a listing, you have multiple ways to make money from that.

What are you doing to get sellers?

While it’s great that agents are getting financial assistance in this time of crisis, there is a danger to it:

It puts you in a victim mindset. Instead of taking ownership of your business and your success, you’re waiting for somebody else to help you.

Make a decision that what’s coming next for you is opportunity, not crisis. Shift your focus from the crisis to the opportunity, because what you focus on expands.

How do you shift your focus from crisis to opportunity?

1. Manage your focus. Get the help given to you, but don’t play the victim. Think about how you can help yourself because there are opportunities for you out there. Watch my previous blog where I talked about where exactly you can find those opportunities and Why Now is the Best Time Ever to Be a Real Estate Agent: https://youtu.be/Bg3UUFExr-k
2. Move fast. Even if you’re still in lockdown, you can still build relationships and fill your pipelines.
3. Make a fortune. The choices you make in this crisis will make you rich. There is opportunity in this crisis. Most of my coaching members are making tons of money in the first quarter of 2020 alone.

Focus on what you want, not what you fear. Opportunities are there, look for them. Don’t let this crisis stop you.

First, find a motivated seller, schedule the Listing Presentation, and prequalify the appointment to make sure that they are motivated to move. In the Book of YES, you’ll get the best conversations that lead you through the process.

Here are 5 keys to doing a great virtual listing presentation:

1. Get a VIDEO PREVIEW OF THE HOME. The seller either goes live on Facetime, Facebook or Instagram or records a video tour of the house, and emails it to you.
2. Email them your PRE-LISTING PACKAGE that contains the following: Information about yourself/your company, your action plan, CMA, seller net sheet, listing documents, and the ZOOM video conferencing link. Shoot them a quick introductory video if they haven’t met you yet.
3. DECIDE ON THE PLATFORM to use. Zoom.us. is easy to use and enables you to share your computer screen with the sellers during the call. Use Calendly to schedule the appointment. Your video conferencing platform options are Zoom, Skype, Facebook Messenger, or Facetime. You can also opt to do a phone call, but there will be no visuals.
4. Have ENERGY. Stand up. Keep them engaged by asking questions & using tie-downs (e.g. “Are you with me on that? Does that make sense?”). If you’re using your phone, keep your hands free & do it in front of a mirror. Correct pricing & preparation is key. Go to https://yesmasters.com/ and download the free Listing Presentation.
5. Use DOCUSIGN. Answer any of their questions as you walk them through the paperwork. Have them digitally sign all the pre-filled out listing documents on the call once they’ve made a decision.

Even with the economy shut down, right now is the best time ever to be a real estate agent because there’s massive opportunity out there. While most agents are panicking, you can capitalize on those opportunities.

Where the opportunities are (motivated sellers)

The luxury market. Many luxury homes are selling and there’s no competition here because most agents don’t know how to break into the luxury market.

Equity homesellers/Downsizers. They’re afraid of losing equity as the housing market drops, so they’re ready to sell now.

3 keys to capitalize on opportunity right now:

1. Your self-talk. Manage your self talk, and your daily thoughts. Expect the best, prepare for the worst. So if anything happens that’s better than the worst case scenario, you’ll win.
2. Your skills. Skill is the name of the game. More realtors are competing for business. The agent who knows what to do and knows how to inspire confidence in the seller and lead them to a decision wins..
3. Your Seller Strategy. Have a strategy for finding motivated sellers, inspiring them to hire you, and selling all the listings you take. The opportunity is with sellers, not buyers. When you price a listing right, you’ll attract the right buyers.

When you sign up for any of our courses, you’ll get the mindset, skills, and strategies you need to capitalize on those opportunities right now. Learn more about them here https://yesmasters.com/courses/.

And if you sign up now, you’ll get access to a BONUS video where I break down for you where exactly the big opportunities in 2020 are.

Prospecting during this corona crisis can be a scary thought to most agents.

Fact is, this is a great time to talk to people because they’re home. Not everyone will be friendly, but that doesn’t matter. Because crisis or no crisis, there will always be people who wouldn’t want to talk to you.

How do you prospect when everything’s shut down in the coronavirus crisis? Here are 3 things to help you:

1. Focus on motivated leads (e.g. FSBO’s). Look for people who want to buy or sell. They’re still out there.
2. Embrace the NO’s. Each NO you get takes you one step closer to the YES.
3. Always expect YES. Be a pro and expect to win even if you know that you’ll get NO’s. When you take a shot at prospecting, focus on the YES.

Don’t listen to fear…listen to your dreams. If you want to win & help people, prospect RELENTLESSLY. You can still get more YES, even in the middle of a crisis.

Just when you’re getting started in real estate, the pandemic suddenly hits.

So, what do you do as a new agent to win through this corona-crisis and beyond?

Decide. Are you in to win? Only those who are committed to succeed will make it through this crisis, because your commitment to success will protect your head from all the fear and uncertainty around you.

Prospect like crazy. Now more than ever is the time to talk to people and build relationships. Who do you prospect?
a. Personal Circle (people you know)
b. Motivated sellers (FSBO’s & Expireds) and NOD’s Notice of Defaults
c. Investors (connect with them on Meetup.com). They’re ready to find properties when the market drops.

Role play 1-2 hours a day like a professional athlete trains for a championship. Prospecting gives you the context for role play. And the more you role play, the better you get at handling objections. You’ll find great role play partners in the YesMasters Real Estate Success Community Facebook Group

Commit to making it work, and do the work. No matter what happens to the market, you can win!

Nobody knows how this corona crisis ends. But what you can do is expect for the best, prepare for the worst. Because if you’re prepared for whatever happens (no matter how bad things get), you’ll win.

Here are 4 ways to prepare for what’s coming:

Get lean in your business and in your life. Cut expenses (the things you can do without), not investments (the things that give you value).

Get positive, stay positive. It’s not about denying reality. It’s about approaching the problem with a winning attitude. Studies show that positivity makes you 30% more effective in making decisions. This increases your confidence and your probability of success.

Give more. Focus on helping people. Listen to them and care. Making more money requires adding more value to people, now more than ever.

Get support. You need support now, more than ever before. Get into coaching and join a community of other agents who are committed to their success.

You’ll find that in the right coaching program, like our YesMasters Mastery Coaching. If you want to be part of a community of winners, join Mastery Coaching here: https://yesmasters.clickfunnels.com/masterycoaching.

The current corona crisis is causing a lot of uncertainty in ongoing real estate transactions. Buyers are worried about qualifying and sellers are worried if this is the right time to sell.

How do you close your deals during this period of crisis?

Here are 3 key strategies:

1. Have straightforward conversations with your clients and the other agent. Acknowledge the situation and their fear. Overcome the fear by addressing it head on. Let them get their feelings out, and listen.

2. Reconfirm the motivation of all parties involved. What do they want? Shift their focus from their fear to their goal. Your job is to help them get what they want.

3. Be pro-active at problem-solving. Figure out what you can do to make it work. Get creative with solutions.

You should move toward the closing as soon as possible, so you prevent anything from potentially disrupting a transaction.

Reassure their fears, get things done without being pushy, and save the day for your clients.

Let me know situations you’re running into, or any questions you might have about closing deals during this crisis.

How can you continue generating business when everything is on lockdown?

Here are 3 strategies:

1. Talk to your PC. Send them a text to let them know that you care. This way, you increase Top-Of-Mind Awareness. Fill your pipelines and sow the seed for future business.

2. Virtual networking with investors. They will want to buy during the probable housing downturn. You’ll find them at online real estate investor meet-up groups. Go to meetup.com, find investor groups, and join or initiate virtual meetings with them.

3. Keep prospecting for motivated sellers (Expireds, FSBO’s, vacant homes, vacation homes) because they need to liquidate assets so they can get cash reserves. Do a virtual listing presentation with them.

Even when everything is indefinitely on hold, keep filling the pipelines. Be proactive and find people to help. So when everything opens up again, you’ll be in a position to make money and you can thrive through the tough times. Play to win, and always expect YES.

While most real estate agents are in trouble because of the economic downfall, you have a choice and the power to prosper in these trying times.

Here are 3 Key Strategies you can implement now to thrive in this crisis:

1. Talk to more people. Focus on motivated sellers & buyers.
2. Care and show encouragement. Send out texts with positive messages. Continue building relationships with the people you know by sowing the seeds of goodwill & creating Top-Of-Mind-Awareness(TOMA) with them.
3. Focus on immediate opportunities:

Investors. They have money to buy property at any time.

Notice of Defaults (NOD's). The more unemployed people are failing on their loan payments, the more opportunities you have to help them sell.

Vacant properties. Owners are motivated to sell quickly because of the dropping market

AirBnB, Vacation properties. The sooner sellers take action, the more money they get. Be the best agent to get them the best results

Creative financing. e.g., Lease-to-own.

Nobody knows how long this crisis will last, but you don’t have to be one of those agents who are in trouble. Look for ways to help people buy or sell, and add value without B.S. Always expect YES, and you will thrive.

Even in a rapidly changing market, you still have buyers and sellers who need your help.

How do you adapt with change and reassure buyers and sellers that you are making everything work well for them?

Be the coyote, not the dinosaur. Dinosaurs are bigger & stronger, but they didn’t survive change. On the other hand, coyotes continue to thrive & adapt in different environments. It is your ability to adapt that will determine whether you thrive, survive, or don’t.

Be the captain. Just like the captain of a boat, be in control even in rough waters. Reassure buyers and sellers that they can trust you & that you got them covered to keep them safe.

Because I want to do everything I can to help you adapt in these turbulent times, I’m offering you a free download https://yesmasters.com/safe: SAFETY PROTOCOLS FOR BUYERS AND SELLERS. These are guidelines to reassure buyers and sellers that you’ve got their safety in mind during the buying or selling process.

Now is the time to adapt and move forward, not retreat. Get ready to thrive, even in these times. You can do it!

The coronavirus scare is already affecting the real estate market.

Low interest rates attract motivated buyers because their buyer power is up. The demand is high because of low inventory. So if you have listings, you’ll make money because you’ll still have motivated buyers.

Target motivated and distressed sellers because they’re the moving part that transcends all economies. People losing their jobs become distressed sellers who need your help getting their home sold and getting money in their pocket. Because of the high demand, in the short term, there will be a lot of deals happening as long as you have listings

For investors, there’s never a bad time to buy property as long as there’s free cash flow after debt service. However, most investors are looking to buy when prices go down, because this is when rent is more stable. But price drops don’t happen overnight, so the key is to build a relationship & maintain Top-Of-Mind Awareness with investors, so when it's time to buy, you’ll be there to help them.

Nobody knows for sure how long this will last. How it affects your personal economy depends on you.

Step up, get strong, commit that you’ll work harder with eyes of hope and confidence, not of fear.

Where should you go if you want to learn how to succeed as a real estate agent?

The 4 worst places:

1. From everyone. Stop listening to everyone’s advice on YouTube and social media, because 80% of those people aren’t successful.
2. Non-producing agents. Don’t listen to agents who don’t have the income you want.
3. Facebook groups for new agents. With thousands of people in a Facebook group, not everyone can help you be successful.
4. Real estate licensing schools. They help you get a license, but don’t help you succeed.

The best places:

1. Mentors. Learn from people who have the kind of success you want to have.
2. Broker Trainers. Find top producers in your office. Shadow them. Go with them on listing appointments.
3. A Great Coach. Find a coach who has helped other people succeed, and be coachable. Go to https://yesmasters.com/coaching/
4. An immersive event environment. Being around pros is the best and fastest way to learn. You’re getting not only the information, but also the support of people around you. When your emotion is high, your learning increases dramatically.

What is the best lead generation tool out there? Is it social media and the internet? Calling people? The best scripts (get your free copy of The Book of Yes here)? Using video? A good website?

None of those on their own makes you money. It’s how you leverage these media that generate leads.

Here are the 4 BEST tools for lead generation:

• YOU. Have an attractive character or pleasing personality. It’s all about your presence, how you show up, and the way you communicate.
• Audacious promise. Have a compelling message that differentiates you from other agents. Offer an irresistible guaranteed sale (e.g. I’ll sell your house in 60 days, or I’ll buy it) or a unique value proposition and back it up.
• A-team. This is your Word-Of-Mouth Marketing Team. These are people you have a strong relationship with and believe so much in what you do, and are willing to help give you business. Maintain top-of-mind awareness with them, and they’ll keep giving you referrals.
• An awesome track record. Success breeds success. If you’re new, build your track record by working on developing your attractive character, and deliver on your audacious promise.

We train on this in-depth at our live events. If you want to add thousands of dollars to your income, train with me at Agent Mastery Live 2020. Get your tickets here. You’ll become a master of these lead generation tools and learn how to make them work for you.

When you see somebody go through adversity and end up winning, you realize that anything is possible.

Alejandro got into real estate during the 2007 crash and barely made anything in his first year. He focused on buyers because he lacked the skills to take and sell listings.

Getting into Kevin’s coaching changed his life. He signed up for the 100-day Listmaster Challenge, went to a training camp,and became part of the YesMasters Inner Circle. He took action right away and started focusing on sellers. Alejandro's income just shot through the roof.

He consistently prospects 5-7 hours/day and roleplays. He goes to 3-4 listing appointments a week, and gets 60-70% of them to list with him.

Seventy percent of his business comes from Expireds. He gives them extraordinary service that's different from their experience with previous agents who have disappointed them..

The rest of his business comes from referrals and his Personal Circle. He wants to shift to working on his Personal Circle more, because he realized that with the right strategy in place, it’s easier to get repeat business from his PC.

In the middle of all that production, Alejandro faced personal adversity. His drinking problem started affecting his career. At some point, he chose to drop out of Kevin’s coaching because of multiple DUIs. He spent some time in prison and almost had his license revoked. But the power of mindset that he learned from Kevin saw him through.

He went back to coaching.. Fortunately, he ended up keeping his license and continued success.

What is Alejandro’s secret to success?

Mindset.
Creating habits that create success.
Getting a coach.
Power of association.

Alejandro’s advice to other agents: Either play big or don’t play at all. Being mediocre is not the way to live. Excel and inspire other people to do the same.

For most people, showing up late is a habit. It tends to be a pattern that repeats. But the problem is not time management. It’s the choices we make.

It’s crucial to fix this problem because when you’re always late, this tells people that they can’t trust you. You gave them your word that you were going to show up at a specific time, but you were late. It also tells them that you don’t respect them enough to be there on time. It reflects the choices you make that put you in that position.

How do you never be late again?

1. Commit to perfection that you will never be late again. Believe that it’s possible. For example, professional athletes never show up late for practice or for a game. Don’t make being on time an option.

2. Plan to arrive 5-15 minutes early.

3. Assess the surrounding time commitments you have. Are there other appointments before it? Be sure to have enough time between commitments.

4. Account for other factors. E.g. traffic, your spouse or kids. Allow for other responsibilities and things beyond your control. Plan ahead

5. Only calendar appointment times that are mandatory for you. Decide what you put in your calendar and treat them as commitments.

6. Give yourself 2 months of perfection. Keep showing up on time so you rewire the habit.It takes on average 66 days to create a new habit.

How does an ex-military who survived a heart attack go from zero to $1,000,000 in 24 months?

A terrible experience with a real estate agent left Sergio and his parents homeless. He then vowed to never let that happen to anybody else.

When he got out of the military after 61/2 years of service, he was lost and didn’t know what his next mission was. He tried his hand at different careers, but didn’t find his true calling.

In October 2017, he quit his job as an account manager for a tech company and became a full time agent. He went to his first training camp (Real Estate Vortex Training Camp) right away. That’s when Sergio realized that real estate was his true calling.

As he shifted from an employee to an entrepreneur mindset, he knew he had to work hard and that he was responsible for everything that happened in his business.

Sergio used the Real Estate Vortex to build his business. He began leveraging relationships that drew business to him. He believes in constantly giving value and building authentic relationships.

It was challenging to be a new agent asking people for business. He believed he was good enough, and had to make people believe that. But the pressure didn’t stop him. Sergio wasn’t afraid of failure. To him, there are no failures, only experiments.

Sergio’s secrets to success are:

Mindset. He’s consistent and intentional with his relationships. He believes he is worthy of success.

Effort. He puts in the work. He’s focused on genuinely helping people get the best result every time.

The Power of Association. Joining the YesMasters Inner Circle and surrounding himself with people who operated on a high level made him realize that he was worthy of success.

YesMasters has given Sergio the framework to create a profitable and sustainable business that allows him to use his strengths with relationships. Kevin has been a great mentor and friend who truly cares.

His advice to new agents? Find a coach as soon as possible. That can help you get clarity on what you want. Do the work and be patient.

There’s no stopping Sergio as he continues to grow in the business and changes people’s lives. To him, this is just the beginning.

How do you get one listing and turn it into 5 transactions? You leverage success.

Here are 7 strategies to get 5 additional deals from a listing:

1. Put a sign in the yard. Motivated buyers will go directly to you, the listing agent.

2. Sell the listing. Putting a SOLD sign on the FOR SALE sign gives you credibility.

3. Neighborhood Direct Mail Campaign Send out 5 separate mailers to every home in the neighborhood about the listing. (Coming soon, Just listed postcard, invitation to the open house event, Pending, Sold). This tells them that you’re the agent that gets results.

4. Door-knock and invite at least 200 neighbors to the Open House Event (script is in The Book of YES <link>) on the first weekend the house is on the market.

5. Have a powerful Open House Event with online registration (use Open Home Pro or Spac.io ), and follow up with unrepresented prospects. Send them a Personal Intro Video that same day. This helps them remember you.

6. Ask the seller for referrals before, during, and after the sale. You’ve already earned their trust when they hired you.

7. Get a video testimonial from your seller. Use it on your website & social media. Third-person testimonials are the best marketing on the planet.

Create systems to do these strategies consistently, and you can always expect YES!

I’ll train you on how to create these systems to get more business without chasing deals at Agent Mastery Live 2020. Click here to register.

Life is your championship game. And when you’re playing a game that matters, winning is everything.

It’s the CHOICES you make and the things you do.

Here are the 3 predictors of greatness

2. Ownership. Take ownership of the process of winning. Make it your responsibility to take your business and life to the championship.

3. Leadership. Who do I need to influence to make it happen? E.g. PC, relationships, team, other agents.

You want to be top in your market? Be willing to do what others are not doing. Have a championship mindset. Play to win and always expect YES!

When JP started flipping homes after the recession cost him his job in 1991, the huge profit and opportunity to meet people got him excited about real estate. He then got his license and built his real estate business at the same time that he started his fitness business.

He became a top producer in his second year in real estate

He got business from building relationships. He always did a great job for people and got referrals. But he was missing a system.

JP first saw Kevin on YouTube and appreciated his straightforward with no BS approach. In 2016, he went to the Double Your Listing Power live event. That’s where he realized how success all starts with mindset.

This then led him to join the 100-day Listmaster Challenge. It was the most eye-opening experience for him.

JP was a top producing agent who had the humility and coachability to go back to basics. and do everything he was told to.

He realized that he could have helped more people if he had previously asked them for business. He had lost 5M in business by not creating Top of Mind Awareness with them.

Practicing foundational skills like communication allowed him to be great. It changed every part of his life, not just real estate.

After the challenge, he entered the Inner Circle. His life dramatically changed with coaching and training with like-minded people. He got double the amount of business, enabling him to give double to charities.

He built his team around the concept of collaboration and mentoring. He regularly coaches his team because he cares more about how he can help people be successful.

JP’s advice on how to build a team:
Coach with Kevin.
Build the foundation of learning.
Before you hire anybody, have more business than you can handle yourself.

His biggest breakthrough in 2019 was growing his business by 20-30%.

His advice to agents: Keep positive, keep moving. Don’t allow yourself to get stuck. The path is never straight.

When I was a new agent, I knew I had to put in the work to succeed. What I didn’t realize then were these BIG THINGS that would have made a big difference in the trajectory of my success, had I known them sooner.

Here are 7 things I wish I knew as a new agent:

1. To focus on sellers (not just listings). Focus on what they want, get them the best result, and win the relationship. You’ll get leverage and consistent income.
2. Power of relationships. Build relationships and ask everyone for business and expect help.
3. Importance of Lead Follow-Up. 70% or more of your transactions will come after the first conversation. Have a lead follow up system so you don’t miss potential deals.
4. Importance of self-image. Your fears are not real. Take action and force yourself to do what you're afraid of, so you become confident and get over the fear of doing it.
5. Think beyond survival. Have an abundance mentality. Set higher goals.
6. It’s easy to use work as an escape from life’s problems. Deal with your problems, because a catastrophe in one area of your life affects everything else (including your business).
7. Going pro. If you want to succeed in real estate, have the right work ethic and train harder like a professional athlete does. Commit to coaching and training to improve your skills and confidence.

I was the last person you’d think would succeed in real estate.

The only sales training I had was working as head cashier at Burger King. I didn’t have money, resources, or connections.

I became what people expected me to be...a small-town preacher.

But I had a big dream to change the world and make an impact on people’s lives beyond church ministry.

Then, I realized that real estate can help me achieve my goal.

I took real estate classes while I was still doing church ministry. When I got my license, I moved into the big city and started real estate...full time!

Three months into the business, I finally got my first listing. After all deductions, I ended up with $350 on my first closing. It was tough because I had no savings and was living on credit cards.

The key thing was, I never imagined failing. I was 100% committed to succeeding. I ended the first year with 19 transactions (mostly listings) under my belt. I felt so powerful when I got my first 6-figure listing!

These are the things I did right:
Went in full time.
Immersed myself in real estate
Prospected every day
Got training

If you’re new or thinking about getting into real estate, you can do this! If you got a good attitude, work ethic, and you’re willing to learn from the best, you can succeed.
