from 2023-07-24T13:00
Are you inclined to compete with other real estate agents and defend your territory? Or collaborate as colleagues?
At Masters in Real Estate, we believe that a rising tide lifts all boats. And because there’s enough business for everybody, we share best practices with the intention of helping each other succeed.
Justin Stoddart is CEO of ProInsight, a platform that helps real estate agents integrate our services with other professionals, collaborating to improve our value proposition and better serve our ideal clients.
Justin is also the author of The Upstream Model: Hidden Secrets to Building a Massive Referral Business While Crushing Big Tech Competitors.
On this episode of The Portland Real Estate Podcast, Justin joins hosts Joe Fustolo and Steve Nassar to offer his take on the hottest topics in the Masters Facebook group over the last few months.
Justin, Joe and Steve discuss what to do when a buyer wants to represent themselves and explain the benefit of a less-is-more approach to public comments on RMLS.
They weigh in on how to handle big repair addendums, agent-accompanied showings, and clients who call you for a listing appointment—and then post their home on a FSBO site.
Listen in to understand why so many REALTORS are struggling in the first half of 2023 and learn why it’s better to adopt an abundance mindset and move forward with the idea that we’re all in this together.
