Starting out in real estate can be tough. It doesn’t take long to realize that you not only do you need to learn common procedures and processes but also about people’s buying behaviors. Finding a community of folks who are seasoned in these areas is one of the most efficient ways to learn these things.
And this is precisely why Jasmine (and her husband Jeff) chatted with Real Estate Broker Jennifer Kjellgren in this episode. They break down methods to find your people in real estate, how doing so can help you stay grounded and grow faster than if you try to navigate it alone, and more.

Over the past few years, it’s been harder to separate our personal lives from our work lives. They’ve become more intertwined for reasons beyond our control. There is a certain grief in this change but there’s also an opportunity. Bridging the calm from our personal lives into what can be momentary chaos in our busy professional lives can help balance things out. Maybe, just maybe, it’s time to be more human in all aspects of our lives instead of trying to shift between friendly and professional. These are the shifts that Jasmin and her guest, Adair Cates are digging into during this conversation.

Ross Seligman realized that as his real estate career increased the quality of his life decreased and was not happy about it. Do you feel like this? If so, then you’ll be interested to know that after 12 years of feeling this way he was able to turn things around and take control of his work-life balance. It took creating a real estate-specific software to solve this problem, called Sphere. In this conversation with Ross, he describes how he channeled his paperwork frustrations into this tool, how it helps real estate agents get their time back, how it’s free for new agents and more.

There are 3 key things you can build as a new agent to give you a head start to a successful real estate career: trust, branding, and visibility. In this The House of AC replay episode, Alan shares why these 3 characteristics are so important for real estate agents, especially new ones. Also, we get to hear from Jasmine, who’s on vacation in Europe, on how the focus on the quality of life (not focus on the amount of work) is such a refreshing change.

Homebuyers assume a 15 or 30 year fixed rate isn’t supposed to change, right?
In this conversation, we talk with Jasmine Mortgage Team branch manager (self-proclaimed Master of the Boring Stuff), Jeff Goddard, to see if there is anything a home buyer can do to avoid post-closing changes to their mortgages.
Some questions we hit head-on are:
-What about if a lender transfers a mortgage to a different bank?
-Why does this happen?
-How does this happen?
-Why do the property taxes change after closing?
Why does my escrow amount in my mortgage get altered and increase my payments?
We want to know if these are legitimate worries and if they’re preventable.

Kati Spaniak of eXp Realty and the Spaniak Team believes that reframing herself as an entrepreneur instead a real-estate agent greatly increased her success in the industry. She credits hiring people to complete a single task, managing client expectations, decomposing problems into smaller tasks, and being accountable to herself to her success. These methods have allowed her to grow her team and profits while being able to keep a 9-to-5 schedule and never work weekends. Kati also stresses the importance of building relationships with other real-estate agents and how authentic engagement with the local community can result in never having to pay for a lead again.

Anna Kilinski of Keller Williams and Intown discusses the importance of putting systems in place and delegating to automate as many tasks and responsibilities as possible. She explains how by answering a few simple questions, (i.e., Does this bring me joy or money? and What is my time worth?). By following the ‘do it, delegate it, or ditch it’ philosophy, she has been able to create an organization which operates smoothly without her while she is away on vacation. Anna also shares the benefits her team has gained from being consistent and authentic in their marketing and social media messaging.
