Level Up - The Podcast For Realtors

There is a lot of talk about working on your own business in this podcast, but the ultimate goal is the sum of the parts, working to better the profession as a whole. You may not know it, but Katie and Daniel have been involved in Organized Real Estate in Ontario, sitting on boards of a couple of the organizations who play a big hand in shaping the profession. 

Katie has been a director on the board of the Real Estate Council of Ontario for the last three years, and now she's up for re-election! This episode, Daniel plays interviewer, and learns more about the upcoming election, what RECO does, and why Katie is asking for your vote. It doesn't matter where you live, this is an important discussion about being involved in your own backyard, making sure you take interest, whether it means volunteering, or just voting.

If you are in Ontario, voting is running from March 6-20, 2023 and you would have a link to vote in your email - get informed, and make sure you vote!

You do great work, you bust your tail to deliver the ultimate experience, so why are you the only one telling people about it? For some reason, we shy away when it comes to asking for things like referrals and reviews...this is a CRUCIAL part of your business, and it is time you embed it into your system and client approach. This episode we talk about all things reviews (and a little about referrals) - why are they important, how do you get them, and everything in between. 

Don't forget to leave a review of our podcast and make sure to refer (ahem...share) with anyone you think would like to hear it!

In an always more competitive marketplace of real estate professionals, it is increasingly more important to figure out where you need to focus your efforts - what is the niche for your business that will separate you from the pack?  The concept of 'casting a wide net' is not very effective with so many people doing the same thing - so how do you cut through? Where do you start? What questions must you ask yourself to determine where you should focus your efforts?

In this episode we talk about the approaches you can take to determine where your niche should be - spoiler alert: THERE ISN'T A RIGHT ANSWER.

Enjoy!

We talk a lot about the importance of video, in your social media, as a marketing tool, as an informative resource - but when you are selling a listing, there isn't just one way to create those moving pictures. 

Lifestyle videos are a fun and effective way to differentiate your services, your listings, and your brand from other real estate professionals, and they can really set you apart. In this episode, we talk a bit about the process of building a lifestyle video of your own, the resources you need, and the different approaches you can expect to take. 

Here are a couple of the videos we talk about in the episode:
"Home Alone": https://youtu.be/SSA3H2uP48I 
"The Night Out": https://youtu.be/7DsWzpU2MXo 
"Parisian Condo" - https://youtu.be/_D0IJUE54jU 
"Kids and Caesars" - https://youtu.be/VVsds6Ve1ac

You’ve got the relationship, you are out showing properties, exciting - but wait, you still haven’t actually signed anything. What do you do now?

We constantly hear the question - “How do I get them to sign with me? I don’t feel right asking for the contract.” Well it’s about time you lock in those clients, protect them and protect yourselves. 

In this episode we talk about the process of getting the contract signed. Spoiler alert - it actually isn’t scary, sleazy or slimy at all. 

Have a listen and go out to lock down your business before someone else does.

In a tough economy, many people are in difficult positions, and with that comes an even greater risk of fraud. People selling houses that aren’t theirs, questionable identities, stolen titles to property - it’s all happening and we need to be aware.

In this episode of Level Up, we talk about what we can do (and what we can’t) as professionals in real estate when it comes to detecting and preventing fraud.

Protect yourself and your clients by knowing the red flags, and developing a keen eye for the fishy stuff.

We’ve gone on about your plan, you’ve heard about budgets, and you may even have your own ‘word’ to guide your year ahead. Now it’s time to actually get the work done.

Like new year’s resolutions, great plans can go awry without some important approaches to ensure you actually make the year sustainably successful.

In this episode, we talk about tangible actions and mindset approaches to take to ensure you actually get the things done this year. We’re past the talk, we’re into the action. It’s time to level up your year.
