The Traffic Approach + Mortgage Rates Fall to Lowest Level in Months + much more...

885,391 daily readers and growing! February 26, 2016 The Traffic Approach Dear Reader, I wanted you to be the first to know that my new podcast episode is live. If you missed the announcement last week, we just launched the Becoming a Mega Producer Podcast where I'll be sharing all kinds of content that you can't get in my daily email blasts. Today's episode is a part of a series on the listing presentation that I used to take over 100 listing in my first year in real estate. Long-time readers of mine are probably familiar with the story, but many new readers probably don't know: I listed 114 houses in as a rookie agent. And I didn't take any builder listings or multi-unit properties. I listed 114 single-family homes one kitchen table at a time. And I was a brand new agent, so you know it wasn't because I was well connected or got lots of referral business. I just had a better system. I call it the "Traffic" approach. Since then top listing agents from all over the country have flown to my office in North Carolina to learn my Ultimate Listing Presentation directly from me, but now for the first time, I'm sharing the complete system on the podcast. It will be broken up into four parts -- and the first two parts are already live, so you'll need to play catch up. My podcast is syndicated through iTunes and Stitcher. All you need to do is follow one of the links below and click "subscribe" to get regular updates when I release the next episode.
