Navigating the Proposed NAR Settlement

Navigating the Proposed NAR Settlement: What Realtors Need to Know Welcome back. Good morning ... to Mike Ferry TV. It is the week of April 22nd, 2024. I wrote down this thought. There's a lot of speculation. There's a lot of conversations. I mean, enormous amount of conversations, a lot of videos being produced. And they're actually seminars being done on something that is not yet been approved. The proposed and the keyword is proposed settlement for the National Association of Realtors. Hopefully, we'll be done this summer and then we'll really know what has to be done next. I think some of the changes that they're requesting, meaning the government and the Department of Justice, are probably valid. And I don't...

Strategies for a Productive Second Quarter – Part 2

Welcome back to Mike Ferry TV the week of April 15th. The days, weeks, months go by quickly. Are you doing your job every single day? Are you attempting to do your job? Are you doing the best you can possibly do to create a listing or make a sale? If you start thinking like that, along with the thoughts we're going to share last week and this week and next week, your chances improved dramatically. I have to tell you, I did my very first public seminar. I think it was probably 45 years ago. And on day three, at the end of the day, I made a statement and a lot of people were very kind. There was only...

Strategies for a Productive Second Quarter – Part 1

Welcome back. Good morning to Mike Ferry TV. It is the week of April the 8th. The first quarter of the year is gone. Done, finished. It's past. We might as well now look forward to a great April, May and June. What I'm going to do for the next couple of weeks is just share a series of sales thoughts that are designed to keep this, the mindset, a little stronger, keep you a little bit more positive because we're still in some unusual times. I wish I could say the unusual times are going to end on a certain date, but the truth is, we don't know the answer to that. So we just have to work each...

Four Solutions to Overcome a Short Inventory Market

Welcome and good morning to Mike Ferry TV. It's the week of April 1st. Question for everybody... How many listings are you planning on taking in the months of April, May and June? Or in essence, we know what you've done in the first quarter, which is probably not take as many listings as you would like, but now we have a chance of the experience of the first quarter to take advantage of the second quarter of 2024. So how many listings will you take? The inventory shortage is still the biggest challenge the industry faces today. I think most of us thought that it would have been solved by now. But the truth is, it's a combination of...

Top Producers Vs. the Rest in Real Estate – Part 2

And good morning. It's Mike Ferry. Welcome to Mike Ferry TV the week of March 25th. We're almost done with the first quarter of 2024. I don't expect that anybody would be exactly 25% accomplished in the goals they've set. You know, it takes usually 30, 60, 90 days to get a plan in effect, to get all the components working, to get your work habits where you want them to be, etc. So don't be disappointed if your goal, for example, is to sell 25 properties in 2024 and you've only had four in the first three months. Are you doing the things that are necessary to create the transactions? Because if you got the skill set in place...

Top Producers vs. the Rest in Real Estate – Part 1

Welcome and good morning to Mike Ferry TV. It is the week of March 18th. The days are flying by quickly. We hope that each of you are succeeding at the levels you're trying to accomplish in the first quarter of 2024. I wrote down a simple thought. I said, what are the differences between the best Real Estate agent and when I define the word best? I'm not talking about just production or income. I'm talking about quality of work they do, the quality of service they offer other people. So what's the difference between the best and so many others in our industry? Because the sad part about Real Estate is that virtually anybody that is qualified to...
