And as your real estate resource, I have a number of tips that can help you best prepare for this lifestyle change. But we’re not talking about one or two tips here, or even three or four. In fact, we’re talking about your GIANT list of prepping tips for tiny house living!

• Take a flexible attitude, especially when it comes to local codes or city authorities. And don’t worry, because there are almost always creative solutions to these issues.
• On that note, work with local building codes the best you can. As the tiny house movement gains a foothold nationally, these codes are expected to change.
• And similarly, feel free to deviate from you initial plans as needed. If you find something isn’t working out for your tiny house living plan, make a change to re-align to your vision.
• And after you have your plan, remember: there are times when you need to forget your fear and go for it. That can mean choosing one sink over another or even one location over another. Don’t let the details bog you down and prevent you from living your dream.
• Use your tiny house to further your financial goals. For many of my clients, that has meant reducing debt and allowing them to live a life of financial freedom. And there’s no reason you can’t have that too.
• Building a tiny house can be tedious sometimes. But persistence is key. The results may be slow to show themselves, but a they WILL show themselves over time.
• If you choose a tiny house community, keep in mind that it will come with its own complexities. But it also connects you with a community of like-minded individuals.
• And with that in mind, those like-minded people can be a resource for shared storage, common spaces, AND utilities. This can go a long way.
• With like-minded friends, you can also share work during the building process, which can make bringing a tiny house to life so much easier.
• Investigate in a variety of materials, and you’ll be able to put a greater focus on design as well as going even smaller.
• Sometimes, if you choose a space that’s very small, you might have to use transforming furniture!
• Don’t forget the importance of light! It becomes even more important in a tiny space regarding how it fills your space.
• And finally, a practice suggestion: consider adding a removable deck to increase livable space. It’s cost-effective and not as difficult as you might think!

At the same time, many of my clients for real estate coaching benefit from actionable, straightforward advice that immediately boosts their potential. And you can probably relate to that; why make things complicated if they don’t have to be, right? Now, if that’s the case, after decades in the real estate business and as a successful real estate coach, I have just the thing for you!

Update Your Approach to Photography

As a Realtor, you can’t neglect your photography. Today, with tools like Zillow, buyers are browsing homes and looking ever more closely at the photos. While you might think you’re handy with a smartphone camera, the reality is that professionals have accesses to tools like those from Adobe that can make your photos shine even more.

Add Just a Touch of Landscaping

Now, I understand that, as a real estate agent, you can’t simply re-do the entire landscaping. At least, that’s often not an option. But even a few flower pots near the front walkway can spruce up a property and make it more inviting.

Make Sure You Are Accessible

I’ve known many agents who are very accessible to show potential properties to buyers. These agents answer their phones and return calls in a timely way and are willing to go out at a moment’s notice to show a home. If you’re still struggling with this area of the real estate process, take a closer look at your system to see where you can maximize your time and efforts.

Even a Minimal Staging can Help

As a real estate coach, I can’t believe how many agents who are struggling to sell aren’t doing the minimal steps required for staging. Now, obviously, a full stage isn’t always possible. And I understand that. However, bringing in a few minor, select pieces, even accents, can make a property more attractive.

Show Off What Works, Minimize What Doesn’t

On that note, when you’re showing a property, focus in on what works. Of course, that doesn’t mean you have to totally ignore any glaring issues. But with those, you can hone in on the potential that’s offered because of those issues. Is the backyard a little drab? Suggesting the possibilities of how a new deck area might work. Is the carpet somewhat dated? Well, guess what? There might be vintage terrazzo flooring underneath, and many people fall in love with that look.

Price Your Property Right from the Get-Go

Finally, pricing. This is one tricky point that even seasoned agents struggle with. But you should be spending time with the data and developing a system for your area that you can apply to your pricing when you help sell a home. Wondering how you can do that? As a real estate coach, I’d be happy to answer any questions you have!

The post 6 Simple Tips for Realtors to Boost Their Selling Potential appeared first on Terry Records & Jason Nordhougen | Real Estate Investment Coaches & More.

In our last article on holding your next successful real estate seminar, we saw how there’s a number of simple steps you can take to boost your seminar potential. From telling stories to considering what your audience knows, you have a starting point for holding an unbelievable event.

But once you’ve planned it all, what do you do when it’s your big day? As a successful real estate coach, I’ve seen it time and time again: An agent is so laser-focused on the prep work they did… they forget a few other pieces of advice that can make a big difference. Don’t worry though! Today, we’re going to run through some additional steps for the day-of-your next successful real estate seminar.

Hand out name tags and other materials

Although you don’t have to have name tags or supporting materials, they go a long way in a seminar. Using a PowerPoint presentation is great; however, those supporting materials help people to go back and reference more easily as you talk. And of course, everyone wants an easier way to remember names!

Make time for casual conversation

A successful seminar isn’t just about the topic; more importantly, it’s about meeting other like-minded people. So, be that connection for your seminar attendees. Even five minutes for everyone to talk can be beneficial and get people coming back for more events.

Let everyone briefly introduce themselves

Now, if you’re holding a seminar with hundreds of people, this one might be a step you skip. However, for seminars of even 20 or 30 people, everyone appreciates their 20 seconds. I often provide two easy questions for them to answer, so they can keep it short and sweet.

Ensure your lead sheet is front and center

Before anyone else arrives, be sure to set that lead sheet right out front, so no one can miss it. Encourage your attendees to add their information. Another fun tip is to let them know you’ll be sending an additional download afterward, enticing them to include all their information.

Prepare to answer that phone!

If you’re seminars are like mine, you’ll be getting calls afterward. You’ll probably also get a handful of emails. And that’s great! Just make sure you’re ready to answer your phone and check your inbox the next day after your event.

Plan to recharge afterward

In the real estate world, it seems we’re always told to be “on” at all times. But the reality is that we all have different personalities. There’s nothing wrong with recharging after a successful seminar. Once the questions are done and you’ve answered those emails, plan to re-gather your energy, whether for a few hours doing something you love or for a day or two.

Prep for your next successful real estate seminar

Right before one of my successful real estate seminars, I love to look over the materials for all my events. This is my way of doing light prep work for the next seminar. Maybe in planning this one, I’ve noticed something I’d like to refine in another. Or maybe I’d like to add a section to my conference next week. You can do that!

You don’t have to do your next seminar alone though. As your real estate coach, I’m always just an email away and would love to hear from you!

The post You’re About to Hold Your Next Successful Real Estate Seminar. Now what? appeared first on Terry Records & Jason Nordhougen | Real Estate Investment Coaches & More.

When it comes to investing in property, you might have wondered once or twice about the possibilities. You might have also wondered what it takes to become successful and what it might be like once you attain that success. And these are perfectly natural things to think about!

After becoming an accomplished, multi-millionaire investor, I took note of my journey. One of the reasons I’m publishing my upcoming book on real estate investing is to share what it took to get there. But today, I wanted to give you a sense of what it’s really like—not the sugar-coated version everyone else gives you, but the very real aspects that were part of that story. Let’s take a look!

You meet challenges head-on

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: anyone can attain financial freedom. But there’s a caveat. In my upcoming book, you’ll find my story of overcoming the challenges and enjoying the rewards. And in that story, you’ll also discover how important it is to meet your challenges head-on with your allies and partners. It’s a critical skill I’ve honed through the decades of real estate investment.

You’re always assessing and reviewing

Once upon a time, I carried my calculator with me everywhere. While we talk about why in my book, today, I’ve gotten so good at running numbers in my head that I don’t even need that calculator anymore. As a savvy real estate investor, I’ve developed the habit of regularly reviewing the data and the other information I like to collect during my research and home touring.

You’re regularly fielding investment questions

What’s the possible ramifications on real estate from a strengthening US dollar? Is the house next to mine really worth as much as they say it is? When should I upgrade my kitchen if I plan to sell my house in the next few years? These are just a few of the questions that I’m asked every single week. And because I provide individualized real estate coaching, it means that I want to know the specifics of your personal situation when I provide an answer. But for me, helping others attain their financial freedom is the most rewarding part of my coaching, whether you’re a seasoned Realtor or someone totally new to investing.

You learn to step back and take time for yourself

When you get a taste for success in investment, it’s hard to make it go away. And that’s because it’s an incredibly exciting profession. Still, as much as you enjoy it, you have to step back occasionally. This way, you can gain perspective and regroup for your next investment decision. Now, that doesn’t mean you have to do so every day, but I recommend doing what works for you.

You enjoy financial freedom that you never thought possible.

Still, as you’ll find out in my upcoming book, I started out as a single mom. If you had told me today that I’d be a multi-million-dollar real estate investment coach… I don’t know what I’d say. But here I am. And it’s been a liberating feeling that’s so hard to describe.

Interested in feeling liberated yourself? You don’t have to wonder, because you have a trusted real estate coach with real-world experience. Keep an eye out for my upcoming book, and in the meantime, shoot me an email with any questions you have!

The post What’s it Really Like to be a Savvy Real Estate Investor? appeared first on Terry Records & Jason Nordhougen | Real Estate Investment Coaches & More.

As a national keynote speaker for real estate and investing, I love sharing what I’ve learned after several rewarding decades in the business. And while speaking at many seminars and workshops, I’ve met so many of you who also have plenty to share. From what you’re seeing in your local market to tips on buying and selling, you likely have more to pass on to an audience than you realize.

But where do you start when it comes to setting up a successful real estate seminar? As a real estate coach who works with other Realtors to realize their goals, I’m always excited to help with this question. Although these steps today aren’t the entire story, they represent a good place to start when you’re ready to launch your next seminar, for your own real estate team or even your friends and family!

Choose a topic you know well

For your first, or following seminars, it pays to choose a topic you’re most familiar with. Why can’t you choose something you might not know as well, but could research? Although you could do this, you want to build your seminar skills for right now and focusing on your strengths makes that easier.

Consider what your audience knows and needs

Too often, a seminar speaker might not take time to think about their audience. Is your seminar filled with industry jargon that your audience might not know? What if your seminar only hits the surface for an audience that’s familiar with the topic? Review your topic to determine what’s most relevant for them.

Sketch out your outline

An outline might sound like a simple step to a successful real estate seminar, but many people don’t even bother. Now, you don’t have to create a complex roadmap, but a simple outline can help you keep the discussion moving forward.

Choose your venue carefully

When you go with a professional conference room, even a small one, you’re probably going to be fine. And while coffee shops or other venues might be good for casual conversation, you most likely want a private space that’s comfortable for your audience.

Send out an invitation… and a reminder

A formal invitation and a reminder before the event can go a long way to having a successful real estate seminar. Make sure you include all the relevant information your audience will need to attend. You can also personalize these in small ways to up the chances that you’ll get a solid crowd.

Use visual aids and tell stories

No one likes a boring seminar, and I’m sure we’ve all been to one (or many) on real estate. But for your next real estate seminar, you want to focus on engagement. This way, people walk away with something valuable they can put to use. Visual aids and stories go a long way to making this happen.

Practice and relax

I like to run through my presentation a few times alone or before a test audience before going live. This helps iron out any creases and helps you stay calm. It also improves the chances that your real estate seminar will be a success.

But I’d love to hear from you, what would you recommend for a successful seminar? Share this in the comments, and if you’d like an extra tip or two, feel free to email me!
