I have always wanted to do volunteer work but have always struggled to take the first step. Recently, I had the chance to speak with Kama Burton on the podcast where she shared about how she was incorporating volunteer work into her business, and this really inspired me to be more proactive about exploring volunteer opportunities on things and causes that I truly care about.
In this Real Estate Bytes episode, I am going to be talking about figuring out what you want to do passionately and being open to opportunities to give back with joy. Listen in!

“Share something after it's at least scabbed over or a scar, not the open wound.” - Lauren Goche
“Hiring someone hoping that they never graduate to the next level is just being a shitty boss. It's kind of classist, super selfish, and not an abundant mindset.” - Lauren Goche
“I think that's also where entrepreneurs struggle in general. They're like, ‘I feel like I have to work all the time. Because if I'm not, then either my business is going to fail, or it's not going to look like I work enough.’ And I think that's a cultural thing that we've done to ourselves as entrepreneurs, and I think that should definitely change.” - Tracey Hicks

“This is another way to connect with your community. Hosting and also being a guest on a podcast really does help build those relationships in your communities... Podcasting and networking really do go hand in hand.” - Tracey Hicks
“What kind of guest could you have? Who's going to be on that guest list? The first thing I say is, who's your team? Inspectors, lenders, title reps, your contractor people, have them all on your show to talk about their expertise… By having those people on your show, you're giving people information. You're also giving the people on your team and in your tribe who helped you on your realtor journey, helped you be successful, you get to honor them and talk about them and share out their information.” - Tracey Hicks

Content creation is one of the best ways to get more engagement from people and create connections with realtors and clients. The thing is, content creation in real estate does not always have to be so serious. It can get a little comical, too. Take it from today’s guest, Eric Simon a.ka. The Broke Agent.
As a newly licensed real estate agent in Los Angeles, Eric had no idea what to do. He cold-called, door-knocked, and sat dead open houses twice a week to no success. So, he did what he always did when he fails at something: he made fun of it. Eric escaped to social media as @TheBrokeAgent where he began posting the inner monologue of an anonymous, struggling real estate agent. The following grew quickly as the voice stood out amongst an oversaturated marketplace of luxury agents, sales gurus, and assholes.
After six years of memes, GIFs, skits, comics, blogs, and now a podcast, the Broke Agent brand has evolved into a media company with well over half a million followers across all major platforms. Today, Eric continues to sell real estate on the Westside of Los Angeles and run the daily operations of The Broke Agent. His focus is on growing the brand and continuing to be the go-to source for real estate entertainment, podcasting, marketing, and eventually news.
In this episode, Eric talks about content creation in real estate and what platforms he uses to get more engagement from other realtors and clients. He also shares his thoughts on the hottest social media platforms today and why consistency is key in producing content. Join us and listen in!

Tweetable Quotes:
“The good news is there are so many creatives now that are realizing that humor in real estate is a great avenue to go down, that they're producing so much.” - Eric Simon
“Having an engaged audience is way more important than just the numbers. And it takes a long time. People get discouraged after posting a few times and not getting that immediate feedback. It is discouraging, for sure, but it's a massive process.” - Eric Simon

Doors open when you knock. Take it from today’s guest, Steven Ross. Originally from Southern California, Steven began selling real estate there in 2005 - and for the last 12-plus years in Colorado. Steven says he is the “worst type of person to be a real estate agent” because he’s an introvert, he doesn’t work nights or weekends, you can’t find him online, and he doesn’t do parties or events he considers himself completely anti-social. Yet, he built a successful real estate business twice, doing one thing only: knocking on doors - over 125,000 of them.
Steven Ross is the author of the book, "Doors Open When You Knock: A Realtor’s Handbook for Boundless Opportunity and Freedom." As a trainer and advisor, Steven helps people hit the sweet spot in their business, minimizing the hours they work while maximizing their income.
In this episode, Steven talks about how he sold lots of real estate by knocking on doors. He talks about how he connected with people through door-knocking and why entrepreneurs or realtors need to double down on their strengths. He also gives us a preview of his new book and how it can guide you to more opportunities in the real estate business. Join us and listen in!

“That is the most important [thing]. Don't do it on your own. Find people to align yourself with.” - Steven Ross
“Someone who goes out with the immediate expectation to do business is going to be unfulfilled and disappointed because that's not quite how it works… You got to be in it for the long run.” - Steven Ross
“Just because you're good at one thing and I'm good at another doesn't mean I should do what you do or vice versa. Other than that, we all should be aware of what we're good at and what we're not. And there's nothing wrong with turning a weakness into a strength, but mostly, I think what it boils down to is focusing on the strengths.” - Steven Ross
“We've just been talking about just picking the lane, but then don't look to the left or to the right and see what the other cars are doing. You can just keep going. If you're not going very fast, you're moving forward. That's all that matters.” - Steven Ross

Christy Marshall has two loves: people and homes. The matches just keep getting more and more exciting for her. I know Christy well because she's been with my brokerage (that I co-own with Chris Guinn III) Dwell Realty, and I can say that she nails it with collaboration as she works together with clients to provide them with the best options. She loves to be known as part of the “get-along gang,” as she makes working with her feel more like having fun with a friend. She has mastered being able to be a Realtor® in both Portland AND Colorado.
Listen to how Christy was able to pivot working from one state to another with the help of a team, a mindset of flexibility and collaboration, and impacting her communities.

As we all know, technology is an integral part of running a business in today's day and age. We must quickly adapt to the changes so that we won't get left behind. One of the many areas that have been a critical element to the success of today's businesses is their online presence. Your website or social media accounts help significantly get your name known to the world, but not everyone has the knack for managing them. Some even hire professionals to manage social platforms, but if you cannot hire someone and are doing it on your own, you're in the right place.

Patti is a Realtor® at Oregon First in Portland, Oregon. Here's a little about Patti:
Always persevering. Real estate is a story that began in my life at a very young age. Transition is my repertoire. I’ve daydreamed about the many facets of real estate for decades. The architecture, neighborhoods, and the sense of community all carry such priceless value. My ability to embrace empathy, understand lifestyle nuances, as well as encourage and fiercely advocate for dreams and personal goals, has evolved from my lifetime of experience. Real estate creates so many facets of growth and opportunity. Relentless passion for the client is what sets me apart; as is my fearless mindset, honesty, helpful nature, and above all, my integrity. Unlocking real estate dreams with heart.
In gratitude, Patti Spreen

We're living in a Virtual world right now, so we want to talk real estate ideas on how to pivot Open Houses and showings.
In this episode I get to talk to my friend and colleague, Maabi Munoz, from Windemere Realty. We get into what works and what doesn't in social media, what apps she's using and how. We talk about how you prep clients for showings, and how simple fixes can take away the fear of having a stranger up in their things. Finally, we talk about networking and how ultimately it's about seeing your friends, and a few tips for organizations to make it more effective especially for newbies.
A little about Maabi Munoz:
