Marketing Tip of the Week

Issue 59

Mortgage Harmony

Alright, let’s talk about the unsung heroes of real estate transactions, mortgage brokers, a.k.a. lenders. Forming partnerships with local mortgage pros isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s a strategic power move. When you align with a trustworthy lender, you help create a smooth, stress-free process where everyone’s working from the same sheet of music. 🎶

Clients feel it too. When they see you’ve got a go-to lender who’s responsive, transparent, and on top of things, it builds instant trust. You’re not just referring them to “some guy you know,” you’re offering them a reliable path forward. That trust? It reflects back on you.

Now here’s the magic sauce—this partnership works both ways. Brokers often know when folks are just starting to think about buying. If you’re top of mind with them, they’ll send buyers your way. You become each other’s built-in referral system, like peanut butter and jelly for the housing market.

So, don’t just trade business cards. Grab coffee, learn their style, talk shop, and sync up on values. A solid lender-agent bond can shave days off a transaction and boost client satisfaction through the roof.

Thought of the Week

Bring Your Full Self

Why Authenticity Is Your Real Estate Superpower

You Don’t Need a Script, Just Show Up

Let’s be real for a second. In real estate, there’s a lot of pressure to perform, to say the right thing, smile the right way, wear the right blazer (navy, always navy). But here’s the kicker, clients don’t hire us because we’re perfect. They hire us because they trust us. And trust starts when we stop pretending and start showing up as our full, honest selves.

When you bring your full self to the table, quirks, laugh lines, dad jokes, and all, you give people permission to do the same. That’s where real connections happen.

Authenticity Is Magnetic

People can sense authenticity from a mile away. Whether you’re meeting a first-time buyer who’s nervous about making the leap or sitting across from a savvy seller who’s seen it all, what they’re looking for isn’t just expertise; they’re looking for you. The real you.

Let them see how much you care. Admit when you don’t have an answer, but promise to find it. Share a little about your journey. That small act of vulnerability can be the very thing that builds lifelong loyalty.

It’s Okay to Be Human

One of the best conversations I ever had with a client started because my shirt was wrinkled. I joked about my toddler being my “stylist,” and suddenly we were bonding over life, chaos, and raising kids. That client? She referred me to three of her coworkers.

Perfection is forgettable

Humanity is memorable. Real recognizes real, and your full self is your brand. Your energy, your values, your voice—that’s what sets you apart from the next dozen agents in your market. Don’t dilute it. Amplify it.

And trust me, the more comfortable you get with just being you, the more your people will find you and stick around.

How do you bring your full self to your business? Have any “authenticity wins” to share? Drop your story in the comments. I’d love to hear how showing up as you made all the difference💯.

The E-Myth Real Estate Agent Why Most Real Estate Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It by Michael E. Gerber and Brad Korn Hey everyone! I picked up The E-Myth Real Estate Agent because I wanted to better understand how to build a sustainable, efficient, and scalable real estate business. I’ve read real estate books before, but this one forced me to rethink how I approach my business and how to shift from simply "doing" real estate to building a business that works for me. In the first section, Michael introduces the core principles of the E-Myth (Entrepreneurial Myth) and how they apply to real estate. He outlines why most agents struggle and how adopting a systematized approach can lead to sustainable success. Key Points: The Franchise Model: Successful businesses operate like franchises—with clear, repeatable systems that anyone can follow. Standardization = Freedom: Having documented workflows allows you to delegate tasks and ensure consistency in service. Three Essential Roles in Business: The Technician (doing the work—showing homes, closing deals). The Manager (creating systems, handling operations). The Entrepreneur (vision, strategy, and growth planning). The franchise model was a game-changer for me. I realized that if I create a business that runs on systems rather than just my effort, I can free myself from the day-to-day grind. It made me rethink how I structure my business and how to start working on it, not just in it. 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.

Yours truly,
