As well as how we can build wealth so that we don’t have to stay in production longer than necessary? 

Three Things We Learned From This Episode

• We won’t always find alphas to hire, but we can train and coach
  Alphas are quite rare. Most people aren’t, so when we hire them, we have to help them, coach them, educate them to reach their full potential.

According to a recent study: 

86% of consumer believe that companies should take a stand for social issues

Watch as Jim demonstrates how to present the seller with three different pricing strategies that will motivate sellers to think about a strategy rather than just the asking price.

Recently had the pleasure of doing a Podcast with Jere Metcalf.  Jere Metcalf is a leading Atlanta real estate broker who offers unparalleled access, creative marketing concepts and broad market knowledge to her luxury residential client-base. Among her various awards Jere has been named “Best Real Estate Agent” in Atlanta.

We covered a ton of ground but here are some highlights: 

Will you discount your fees so I can buy this house? 

A conversation that is happening more and more frequently is when a buyer asks you to reduce or remove your buyer side commission on your listing and pass the savings on to them. 

Their argument is that they will simply "represent themselves". Of course the reality is that you will still be the one writing the offer, negotiating the sale, opening escrow, arranging financing, attending inspections, negotiating inspections, attending the appraisal, and attending to a million other unforeseen bumps along the way until you reach a successful closing.
