Welcome to the Real Estate CEO. This site is dedicated to helping agents build great real estate businesses. The concepts are applicable for top producing agents who want to build a strong seven-figure income or newer practitioners who have learned the basics but want to take their business to another level.
But to be clear, this site is not for the real estate hobbyist. Nor does the site provide the next get rich quick scheme. In contrast, we focus all the critical principles to help you build a solid seven-figure net worth.
The site focuses on advanced skills for advanced agents. The site does not deal with the basics of building your business or simple things like preparing Agreements of Purchase and Sale or conducting Open Houses. Most top producing agents do not need help in these areas. Instead, the site focuses on areas where we see problems faced by our top agents.
The site addresses a number of critical issues which has an impact on all top producing agents including:
Team Building focuses on various issues productive agents are dealing with as they try to expand their business and get leverage on their time. Team Building discusses all different configurations and sizes of teams and shares experiences from the teams we have worked with.
Real Estate Marketing addresses various techniques that top producing agents use to build their business. It is not about lead generation specifically but invariably it all comes back to building a clientele. Although there are many new techniques to generate a bigger clientele, we focus on building a great repeat and referral business – which is typically the hallmark of most top producing agents.
Technology Tools and Tips discusses the various technology tools and techniques which are available to help provide greater leverage and improve the quality of the agent’s customer services. These technology tools can be a website, an app, or just different techniques to utilize any tool better. Unfortunately, technology is a fast-changing world and as result some things which were commonplace months or years ago are now obsolete. In this fast-moving world it’s critical that we respond quickly to new developments and how they impact our business.
Tax Planning addresses tax planning concepts and issues to reduce your income tax bill.
Wealth Building focuses on running a great business in order to build a significant net worth which allows you to pursue your dreams and retire when you choose without impacting your lifestyle. Our goal is to make sure our readers develop skills and tools to build a net worth of at least $5 million.
To do this we will be discussing these different kinds of wealth building techniques and just as importantly, various techniques to minimize your tax load which in effect provides you more income to retire.
And finally Legal Matters. In this area we discuss any legal trends which we see in our industry. More importantly, what implication does the legal matter have on our business and how an agent can protect their business and/or minimize the risk.
We hope you find value in our site. Please provide any comments or feedback on any of our posts as we want to ensure that we are providing content which you find meaningful and useful.
