Had a great time with Joshua Smith during an interview we recently did on his amazing GSD pod cast. Joshua is an incredible REALTOR but also a great human being who cares about the industry and helping other succeed on a massive scale. A serial entrepreneur with a passion for real estate he brings a ton of "boot's on the ground" experience to every episode of his show. 

One note on the show Joshua mentions that I own 17 real estate offices. While I built my first firm to 17 real estate offices to become the largest independent company in Oregon I sold my interest in that firm in 2006 and now manage a company in Southern Oregon on track to close a billion dollars in sales with three locations and 160 Brokers. 

Here is a quick bio for Johsua (try not to be impressed!) :

-Top 1% of Realtors Worldwide.

-Over 5000 Homes Sold &  Selling More Than 1+ Homes Daily.

Does your sphere of influence think that home ownership is a good investment and  how do their feelings match up with the rest of America?

Today 65% of Americans believe home ownership is a good investment up from just 55.7% in 2014 - but that may or may not be true in your own market.

To engage your social media audience and have some fun why not ask them the same question with a quick and easy poll on Facebook or Instagram. You can then follow up with ideas on how to become a homeowner or even how to buy rental properties. 

Here is an example of a simple post my company did last week:

Another interesting trend is that more Americans are moving back to the suburbs especially young millennials. If you serve a smaller suburban area (or really any area) try using a Love Letter to Your Market.

Are homes more or less affordable than they were a year ago? 

According to the National Association of REALTORS homes are significantly more affordable today than they were a year ago on a national basis. Housing affordability increased from a year ago in May, moving the index up 5.6% from 142.4 to 150.4.  This even while the median sales price for a single family home sold in May in the US was $280,200, up 4.6% from a year ago. 

The reason homes are more affordable? Nationally, mortgage rates were down 60 basis points from one year ago (one percentage point equals 100 basis points).  Another piece of good news payments as a percentage of income went down to 16.6% this May and 17.6% from a year ago. 

Watch as Jim breaks down the numbers as well as projections on home price appreciation over the next two years, and provides scripts for talking to your clients!

Does language matter in sales? Yes it does! According to communication expert Ryan Avery what you say and how you say it is a reflection of your brand, your confidence level, and your ability to influence people and situations in a positive way. 

For instance when we respond with the words "yeah or sure" to a question or a concern it may not convey clearly to the person asking the question or raising an issue that you truly care about the outcome, that you are committed to solution, or that you even know how to address the situation. Instead expert communicators use more direct and affirmative responses like - "Yes, Absolutely, 100%, or of course."

Watch as Jim explains why this concept is so important during this quick video coaching segment.
