The end of the year is a great time to connect with your clients and to have real estate conversations. Every November, the Rick Fuller Team delivers pies to their friends, family members, and clients to not only show their appreciation, but to stay top of mind when it comes to real estate. One key way to connect with others without the hesitation of feeling like you’re selling something is by adding value with a pie, a free home valuation, or a contact list of vendors that you trust. Listen in as Rick shares 10 conversations that your clients WANT to have with you as 2024 comes to a close and 2025 begins.

As we enter the fourth quarter, many agents see this time as the “slow season” and pull back. But for top-performing real estate agents, this is precisely the time to ramp up. What’s the key difference between top agents and average agents in the final stretch of the year? Intentionality. Top agents are not reactive—they’re proactive, strategic, and deliberate. Listen in as Rick shares with his team 6 ways that they should stay intentional in the fourth quarter to set themselves up for success both now and in the upcoming year.

After years of dedicated training, Rick completed his first full Ironman recently. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this triathlon, it consists of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bicycle ride and a marathon 26.22-mile run completed in that order, for a total of 140.6 miles. If you’re like me, I don’t even like to drive that distance in a week. But this isn’t about athleticism or Ironman; it’s about mindset. Listen in to Rick and his Ironman coach, Tim Sorensen, as they discuss this challenging event and the life lessons learned that are valuable not only on the field and in business, but in the bigger picture of living a successful life.

By far the number one question I'm asked as a real estate broker is, "Rick, how is the market?" And I'm sure that's the question you get asked most often, too. Today I'm very excited to share with you the 2025 forecast by the California Association of Realtors of what's going to happen in the 2025 market.

This video is on ricksmarketupdate.com and on my social media. It's time to get the message out that the market is shifting!

Regardless of where you live, are you preparing for the 2025 market? What conversations and scripts are you preparing so that you can answer this question with confidence and expertise?

Here are some examples that I've shared with my team that you can customize for your market:

  1. "Did you know that California’s housing market is projected to see over 10% increase in home sales next year?
  2. "Have you considered that with inflation slowing, the 30-year fixed mortgage rate is expected to drop from 6.6% to 5.9% in 2025?"
  3. "Did you know that California’s median home price is forecasted to reach nearly $910k in 2025, a 6.8% increase next year? $50k increase in one year!”
  4. "Have you considered that despite rising prices, housing affordability is expected to remain stable at 16% next year?"
  5. "Did you know that housing supply conditions are expected to improve in 2025 as more homeowners and investors list properties, anticipating higher prices?"

Welcome to the Rick Fuller Podcast presented by Rick Fuller, the team leader of the Rick Fuller Team which serves the San Francisco Bay Area and the Greater Sacramento Region. Rick is a community leader, national real estate coach, and real estate investing expert.

Information plus application equals transformation. We know this to be true, but most people - including real estate agents - get stuck in the information phase. What happens when you stop a team meeting for ten minutes to have your agents call their SOI, their sphere of influence? This is what RFT’s Director of Conversion, Joe Seeley did recently and the results were pretty amazing. Listen in to the meeting and I’m sure you’ll find some great takeaways for your business.

In our last meeting, Rick shared that the way to generate customers is by building your Core 100 which is your business to business relationships. Today, let’s listen in as Rick guides his team on the scripts to use when connecting with other business owners and how to create reciprocal relationships.

Here are the scripts mentioned in the podcast:

3 Parts: Introduction, Commitment, Follow-up

Part 1 of 3 Introduction

Team Member: Hi ___________. This is (Your Name) with the Rick Fuller Team. How has everything been going for you? ….

Anyway, I am actually calling today because my business has been growing and lately I have been getting people that could potentially need what you do for a living and it made me think of you. I wanted to see if you were interested in receiving potential clients from me?

Potential CORE 100 Member: Of course! Who wouldn’t be?

Team Member: That is what I thought but you never know... I do have a question though. Do you currently have a Realtor that you are committed to meaning if you were going to sell your own home they would be the one you would sell it with?

Part 2 of 3 Commitment

Potential CORE 100 Member: Well yeah. I use __________. She has been my family's Realtor for the past 20 years but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t love to do a good job for your clients. (If someone has a Realtor already, move on. You don’t want to compete for their referrals)

OR

Potential CORE 100 Member: No, not really. I mean I know a lot of Realtors around town but I can’t say that I am fully committed to anyone yet. Why do you ask?

Team Member: I only ask because I really believe in the power of having and developing reciprocal relationships with other businesses and I just want to make sure that anyone that I make a decision to commit to and send referrals to is just as committed to me and my business as I am to them and their business. I make it a point to search for great referrals and advocate for those that I am aligned with because I really believe in making an effort to contribute to the success of those around me. I mean I think we have all had the experience where we were sending all of our referrals to someone only to find out that they were sending their business to someone else…

Potential CORE 100 Member: I know what you mean.

Team Member:Exactly! So you know what I mean. Does this sound like something you could commit to then because I would really love to be able to tell my clients that you are the ______ that I recommend on a regular basis and know that you are telling your people the same about me?

Potential CORE 100 Member: Definitely! I will definitely keep my eyes and ears open for anyone that I know of that is looking to buy or sell.

Part 3 of 3 Follow Up

Team Member: Perfect! We should plan to grab some coffee soon so I know exactly what kind of people are perfect for you and you know what is right for me. Would that work for you?
