FCC “Consent” Law

The FCC will put into effect a new “consent” law on January 27th, 2025. Don’t fall for “experts” who can help you through this unless they have a full understanding of the FCC law. This is a federal law that can be enhanced by states. Did the state you live in enhance the law? Talk to your broker, speak to an attorney with FCC knowledge and stay compliant. There is always a path forward and it is always best to know how the law will affect you, if at all.

Mike and the owner of Arch Communication, Steve Cortez, will discuss this at the Production Retreat next week in Palm Desert, CA.

Welcome and good morning ... to Mike Ferry TV. It is the week of May 6th. Welcome and good morning ... to Mike Ferry TV. It is the week of May 6th. Four months are complete and of course, the question you've seen me ask time and again is how have you done in the first quarter plus one month in terms of the commitment to achieve the goals you have set? And as I probably mentioned to you last week, don't be surprised if you're a little behind. The one thing about Real Estate is it's consistently inconsistent. Expect the fact that it's kind of like the waves coming into the beach. The strength of the waves depends upon the depth...

Mastering the Mindset: 16 Key Words for Real Estate Success – Part 1

Welcome and good morning ... to Mike Ferry TV the week of April 29th. Back in January, we were very lucky to have a nice, big, enthusiastic crowd of not only our customers but also a lot of new prospects at our annual production retreat. Some of you probably attended that production retreat. I think it was day two is when I went through a little bit of an update to the business plan. We've often used and recommended to agents like yourself, and then I went a step further. And I said, I've written down 16 different words, and I'm going to go through eight of those words with you today, and then eight again next week, and take you...

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...
