Every day in real estate is a battle against distractions, shiny objects and unproductive activities. Accountability is one of the most powerful ways to combat these things and stay on the path of activities that lead to success.
The problem is: a lot of people don’t understand what accountability is. They think it’s a form of micromanaging or policing your activities. Accountability is really just about providing the support that keeps you consistent so you achieve what you set out to do.
How do I help my agents with accountability? How does accountability make achieving our goals easier? In this episode, I talk about the point most people miss when it comes to accountability.

When interest rates rise, inventory wanes and working with buyers gets harder, real estate agents flock to listings. There are so many ways to generate seller leads, from direct mail to calling expireds, but those methods aren’t for everyone.
The most effective way for any agent to get leads would have to be online - ads in particular. But in order for this to work, there are some things we have to avoid.
For ages, we’ve been told that speed to lead is the way to go, but when it comes to online lead ads, this might actually put off potential clients. What’s the best way to contact these leads? What should we say to them? In this episode, I share how to increase the conversion of your online seller leads.

If you asked real estate agents what they spend the most money on, lead generation would be at the top of the list. The only problem is, when the conversion of those leads is low, it tanks our ROI and in turn, our profitability.
When agents struggle with conversion, they tend to blame the lack of return on the quality of the lead.
But my experience with different lead sources and platforms proves that this isn’t true. After evaluating tens of thousands of leads across different sources, this is what I’ve found.
The most impactful ratio to the conversion of a lead is the agent’s activity.
What can we do to increase our conversion and get a higher ROI? In this episode, I talk about 3 metrics that will transform your lead conversion efforts.
Things You’ll Learn In This Episode
- The truth about “bad lead sources”
Real estate agents love to blame low conversion on the lead source. What actually drives our success in lead generation? - 3 metrics that will transform your lead conversion
Lead conversion isn’t just one ratio - it’s made up of 3 metrics we need to pay attention to. How can we boost our conversion through the capture-to-contact, contact-to-appointment and appointment-to-written contract ratios? - What hurts your conversion the most
When a lead source is bad, it’s usually because of our activity (or lack thereof). What action will immediately increase our conversion?

If you’re in the online lead gen game, you’ll notice that it’s gotten a lot harder lately.
It doesn’t matter what platform you’re using - deliverability has plummeted, open rates and replies have decreased, and more consumers are sending the dreaded opt-out message. As a result, the conversion ratio from online capture to connection has dropped drastically and the price-per-lead is going to skyrocket.
With all our communications getting filtered more heavily, sending one-size-fits-all email blasts just won’t cut it. We have to make sure we’re sending valuable content.
Could automation be killing our lead conversion? How do we escape the opt-out message?
In this episode, my friend and business partner, Abe Safa returns to talk about how to deal with the lead conversion challenges we’re all facing.
Ease off of automation. The first attempt to reach someone can’t be automated. -Abe Safa
Things You’ll Learn In This Episode
- Ease off the automation
Adding automation to our lead gen efforts makes us more efficient, but could that be harming our conversion? - Spam texting isn’t lead generation
For a really long time, we got away with sending one-size-fits-all content blasts instead of authentic, valuable content. How do we get back to quality over quantity? - How to stop the STOP messages
We’re less likely to be on the other end of an opt-out if we’re an added contact. How do we ask them to save our number?

In today’s real estate market, many deals are being held up by listing agents who are scared to lose their clients. They know the price the seller is asking is too high, but they can’t tell them because they might get fired.
As the buyer’s agent, you can use this to your advantage, move the deal forward, and negotiate a lower price. The best part: the listing agent will love you because you’re saying what they’re too afraid to tell their seller.
Instead of letting deals hang in the balance, you can influence the listing agent and communicate the reality of the market to sellers.
In this episode, I share a negotiation hack that will help you get more deals across the finish line.
"A good real estate agent can communicate with the seller and give them the reality of where the market is, while remaining in rapport and maintaining trust." -Greg Harrelson
Things You’ll Learn In This Episode
- The market is changing
Inventory is the highest it’s been in 12 months and we’re getting closer to a neutral market. How do we prepare for this? - Be the messenger of the market
Listing agents aren’t having the important conversations with their clients because they are afraid to get fired. How do we get around this? - Think like the listing agent
In this current market, what’s on the mind of listing agents and how can we help them?

In the aftermath of the NAR settlement, a lot of agents are panicking about and struggling with one area of the transaction: negotiation.
There are a lot of agents who are worried that these new rules of compensation could be the reason the deal doesn’t work out. Reality isn’t that dramatic. We’ve dealt with deals falling apart over money before, and it’s not the end of the world. If we were able to negotiate our way through that before the settlement, we can do that now.
In today’s episode, I delve into essential post-NAR negotiation strategies that can help you maximize success after closing the deal.
When the buyer and seller don’t come to terms, you walk away and find another property. That was true before, and it still holds true after the NAR settlement. -Greg Harrelson
Things You’ll Learn In This Episode
-The truth about the compensation conversation
Many agents are afraid of being the reason the deal doesn’t work out. Is this fear warranted?
-Don’t let emotion steer you wrong in the negotiation
The settlement has changed a few things about how we do business, but is some of the panic unnecessary?
-Keep calm and lead the market by example
Are some of the agent reactions being driven by ego and ignorance? How do we make them see reason?

When it comes to online leads, everyone’s got an opinion, and most of them aren’t good. Many agents will tell you that online leads are dead - that they aren’t responsive or engaged, so what’s the point?
Well, here’s the truth about those so-called dead leads - they are just dead to you. Those so called disengaged and unresponsive leads do respond…just not to you.
There’s no such thing as a completely new lead. Every single lead is someone else’s old lead, and your old, neglected leads are going to be someone else’s new lead.
This means we’re quitting on leads too early, and that we need to get better at staying in touch and nurturing those people.
What are some of the other realities of online leads agents miss? In this episode, I share my thoughts on leads, based on generating 400,000 in my own business.
