Pop-By Events

The Power of a Simple Drop-Off

Surprise visits, snack-sized joy, and a dash of Instagram magic.

We all know those pop-by visits, those quick "Hey, I was in the neighborhood!" moments that turn into warm smiles and stronger relationships. They're simple, they're fun, and honestly… they make you feel like the neighborhood MVP. The trick isn't just the treat; it's how you tell the story.

Pop-bys are little connection boosters. When real estate agents show up with a small gift, it reminds clients you're still their go-to resource long after the closing table. It's relationship marketing at its friendliest, no pressure, no pitch, just genuine presence.

But here's the twist: sharing your pop-by adventures on Instagram Stories lets future clients see that you don't vanish after the handshakes and selfies on closing day. It subtly shows your character, your follow-through, and your joy in serving your people. That's the kind of visibility algorithms love, and clients remember.

You don't need a truckload of gifts. A seasonal goodie, a small plant, or even a neighborhood favorite pastry does the trick. Map out a few stops each month, keep it simple, and snap short story clips as you go.

Try This Today

Pick three past clients. Grab a small treat. Drop by with a smile. Film a quick "behind-the-scenes" moment for Stories. Boom, you've just created nurturing touches and content.

Pop-bys aren't about perfection; they're about presence. Your clients remember the effort, not the wrapping.

So, who's on your pop-by list this month? If you've had a fun pop-by moment or a treat idea that always gets a smile, I'd love to hear about it.

Thought of the Week

Say Yes to Less

As real estate agents, we love being busy. Busy feels productive… even when it's not. But here's the quiet truth we don't always admit out loud: sometimes the fastest path forward is saying "nope" to the noise. When you do less, but with real intention, you actually create more room for results. Kind of like cleaning out that overstuffed junk drawer and realizing, "Oh wow… I do own scissors.”

Let's break down why saying yes to less might be the move your 2026 self will thank you for.

Focus sharpens everything. When you trim the extra tasks and distractions, it's like removing smudges from your glasses; you instantly see what matters. Instead of trying to post everywhere, email everyone, and solve all the world's housing problems before lunch, zero in on the things that actually move your business.

One focused follow-up call beats twenty random tasks you did just to "feel productive.”

Quality over chaos. Quantity feels safe; "Look at all the things I'm doing!" But quality? That's where the magic is. A sharp, well-thought-out CMA beats five rushed ones. One thoughtful social post can build more trust than a week of filler content. And honestly? Clients can smell chaos from a mile away. A focused 'You'?

That's the version that gets remembered.

Small steps equal big wins. Saying yes to less isn't shrinking; it's strengthening. When you give your energy to fewer, higher-impact actions, momentum builds faster. Think of it like planting seeds: scatter them everywhere, and half don't grow. Plant them with intention, and suddenly the garden looks planned, not accidental.

Your Thoughts?

Now I want to hear from you: How are you trimming the noise and focusing on what really counts?

Passion Inspires Greatness A Journey With Purpose by Marala Scott Discovering What Truly Drives You ​She, Marala, discusses how to identify your passion and channel it into something meaningful. Many people go through life stuck in routines, never stopping to ask, "Am I doing what I truly love?" Key Points: Look Within: Your passion is often found in what excites you, what you’re naturally drawn to, and what challenges you to grow. Fear Blocks Purpose: Doubt and fear keep people from pursuing their passion—recognizing and overcoming them is crucial. Passion Requires Action: Passion alone isn’t enough; it must be coupled with hard work, resilience, and a willingness to take risks. This hit home because it’s easy to fall into “comfort zones” and ignore the bigger calling in your life. This section encouraged me to keep evaluating where my time and energy go and to ensure they align with what I truly want to achieve. Please share your thoughts on whether you've already read it or are reading it now. I would love to hear what you think! And, if you're looking for more inspiring reads, don't forget to check out my book 📚 club.
