It's difficult to grasp some concepts when starting in a new field, no matter how many times you review them. In this episode of "The Real Estate Sales Podcast," host Jimmy Burgess shares six paradoxes in real estate. Tune in to discover what they are to help grow your real estate business.
1. Giving Paradox
People nowadays believe that if they want something, they have to go get it. However, Jimmy discovered this may not always be the case. Instead of always being out there selling, figure out how you give value. Jimmy shares ideas and examples within the episode.2. Growth Paradox
The time it takes to build your real estate business will take longer than you thought it would. However, you'll start seeing growth quickly once you put in the work. Think back to when you felt as though you were stuck in life, and then, out of nowhere, everything you wanted came to fruition. Apply this concept to your business, and you'll see growth within no time if you're doing the work.3. Problem Paradox
You may view problems or difficulties as something negative, but in reality, they’re opportunities. Challenges are chances to deepen relationships, show value, and prove that you can move your business forward. Always trust the process and create relationships to bring positive opportunities.4. Selling Paradox
The less you try to sell to someone, the more they will try to buy from you. When you’re not pushing someone to decide, clients can determine what they feel is best for them. Jimmy shares how you can give information to clients to help them make their own decisions.5. Money Paradox
To make money, you have to spend money. You may think of holding onto the money once you start making it, but investing it into your real estate business is better. For example, if video production brings you money, consider investing more in it. Eventually, it will help you grow your business and triple your income.6. Fear Paradox
What you fear the most is what you must do to help your business grow. What are you afraid to do? Is it making phone calls, making video content, or putting yourself on social media? Whatever it is, push your fear aside and start doing it, as it will help you take your business to the next level.Jimmy Burgess always shares excellent real estate sales advice.

Are you ready to take your real estate business to the next level?
Geographical farming is a proven strategy for attracting potential clients and solidifying your presence in a specific neighborhood. But how can you ensure that your content not only adds value but also captivates the attention of your target audience?
In this episode, Jimmy shares invaluable insights on how real estate professionals can effectively engage their geographical farms through strategic content pieces. These seven essential content types are designed to add value and attract potential clients to your business, ultimately maximizing your geographical farming strategy.
Content Strategy Tips
Before diving into the seven content pieces, Jimmy emphasizes two crucial factors to consider for every piece you send out. Firstly, ensuring that each content piece adds real value for the recipients is vital. Secondly, incorporating a clear call to action is essential to encourage engagement and interaction from the targeted audience.1. Visual Sales Update
The first recommended content piece is a clear visual update on sales activities within the neighborhood. Jimmy provides insight into the specific information to include in this visual piece, such as the number of homes sold, average sales price, days on the market, and average price per square foot. Real estate professionals can effectively capture the attention of farmers by presenting this information visually.2. Local Vendor List
Creating and distributing a local vendor list is the next valuable strategy discussed by Jimmy. He recommends compiling a list of trusted local service providers, including landscapers, plumbers, electricians, and handymen. Not only does this showcase your commitment to adding value to the community, but it also positions you as a trusted resource for essential homeowner needs.3. Testimonial Piece
Utilizing testimonials from satisfied clients can be a powerful tool for building trust within the geographical farm. Jimmy underscores the significance of capturing client testimonials with accompanying photos when possible, as these authenticate your expertise and service quality.4. Community Video Link
To fully establish oneself as an expert in the neighborhood, Jimmy recommends investing in a community video showcasing the area's highlights and attractions. Real estate professionals can demonstrate their deep knowledge and investment in the community by providing a link to this video through marketing materials and utilizing QR codes.5. Just Listed Postcards
The time-tested strategy of sending out just listed postcards remains effective for showcasing your active involvement in the neighborhood. Jimmy explains how these postcards build trust and create opportunities for expanding your client base through potential referrals and buyer leads.6. Open House Flyers
Jimmy provides insightful tactics for leveraging open house flyers into powerful engagement opportunities within the geographical farm. Real estate professionals can foster meaningful connections and drive attendance by strategically promoting exclusive viewing sessions for neighbors and conducting door-to-door visits to inform residents about upcoming open houses.7. Just Sold Flyers
The final recommended content piece revolves around just sold flyers, highlighting successful transactions within the neighborhood. Providing proof of past success can solidify the credibility of real estate professionals and prompt homeowners to consider their services in the future.Geographical farming remains a fundamental aspect of real estate business growth, and Jimmy's detailed guidance on maximizing this strategy through strategic content sharing is invaluable. By consistently delivering content that adds value, demonstrates expertise, and engages the local community, real estate professionals can cultivate strong relationships and ultimately secure valuable listings within their geographical farm.
"Geographical farming is fundamental to your business growth. But if you're going to do it the right way, you have to make sure that you're positioning yourself to have the trust that you get those listings when the opportunity comes." - Jimmy Burgess.

There’s a reason why positive affirmations suddenly became popular. If you’re not taking the time to say them daily, you’re keeping yourself from becoming a successful real estate agent.
In this episode of “The Real Estate Sales Podcast,” host Jimmy Burgess discusses the importance of positivity and effective communication in the real estate industry. Successful realtors understand the power of words and how they can shape their mindset and relationships with clients.
Realtors can create a more fulfilling and prosperous career by adopting specific phrases and mindset shifts. Let's delve into the seven daily phrases that happy and prosperous realtors say.
"Today I Get To"
Happy and successful realtors approach each day with gratitude and excitement. By shifting from "I have to" to "I get to," they acknowledge the opportunities to serve and positively impact their clients' lives. Whether it's showing houses, marketing properties, or spreading joy, this mindset shift brings a renewed sense of purpose and enjoyment to their work."Can I Help You With Anything?"
A key aspect of being a successful realtor is serving clients genuinely. By consistently asking how they can assist, realtors go beyond words and demonstrate their commitment to providing exceptional service. Realtors create stronger relationships with their clients by genuinely seeking opportunities to help."I Saw This and Thought of You"
Building relationships is crucial in real estate. Happy realtors recognize the importance of staying top-of-mind with their clients. They demonstrate thoughtfulness and consideration by looking for things that resonate with their client's interests or needs. This simple phrase shows that clients are a priority, fostering stronger connections and client loyalty."Tell Me More About That"
Successful realtors actively engage in meaningful conversations to deepen relationships. By asking clients to expand on a topic, they show genuine interest and a willingness to understand their clients' motivations and desires. This approach allows realtors to tailor their services more effectively and provide personalized solutions."Thank You"
Gratitude is a powerful tool in building relationships and cultivating a positive mindset. Happy and successful realtors embrace the magic words of "thank you." Expressing gratitude not only sets the tone for appreciation but also helps create a culture of reciprocity. These realtors proactively find reasons to thank their clients and colleagues, allowing for a more harmonious and mutually beneficial working dynamic."I Love"
Passion is contagious, and successful realtors know how to harness it. These realtors create an irresistible magnetism by openly expressing their love for their work, properties, and assisting clients. They convey enthusiasm and dedication through their words, attracting clients who appreciate their genuine passion and zest for the business."Today I'm Going To Even Though I Don't Want To"
Growth often lies just outside our comfort zones. Happy and successful realtors recognize that embracing discomfort is necessary for progress. They confront tasks or activities they may not enjoy, such as making phone calls, hosting open houses, or door-knocking. Acknowledging their resistance and taking action, they push their boundaries and experience personal and professional growth.In the real estate industry, words can shape attitudes, build relationships, and drive success. Realtors can create a more fulfilling and prosperous career by adopting the phrases and mindset shifts discussed in this session.
Happy and successful realtors understand the importance of gratitude, genuine service, and embracing discomfort to achieve their goals. Realtors can unlock their full potential and find joy and success in their profession by consciously choosing their words and working on their mindset.

Here’s a secret foundation for building your real estate business. It’s an acronym that most real estate agents don’t know about, but it's essential to creating a successful business.
This episode will discuss the importance of setting up, optimizing, and engaging your database or CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system to generate a steady flow of deals for your business.
Your database is not just a tool for an organization but a valuable asset that can be sold if you decide to exit the real estate industry. Listen to this week’s episode of The Real Estate Sales podcast to learn more about it!
E - Everybody Goes in Your Database
To ensure a comprehensive database, you must include everyone you know who could be a buyer or seller. This includes renters, homeowners, and your sphere of influence. Having a wide range of contacts in your CRM system allows you to reach out to them consistently and build relationships over time.N - Notes on Every Person
As your database grows, remembering every detail about each contact becomes challenging. Therefore, taking notes on each individual is crucial, capturing vital information and personal attributes that will help you deepen your relationship with them. This includes interests, future plans, and anything discussed during conversations. The more information you have, the better you can serve your clients, making your database more valuable.G - Generate Automated Property Emails
By setting up your CRM system to send automated property emails, you can provide consistent value to your contacts. For homeowners, these emails can feature updates on properties that have come on the market, gone under contract, or sold in their area, directly impacting the value of their home. Potential buyers and renters can also receive property updates based on their preferred price range and preferences. Prospecting becomes effortless as your CRM system generates property emails regularly.A - Add Personalized Value
While automated emails are valuable, adding a personal touch can make a significant difference in building relationships. Identify opportunities to reach out individually to contacts. For example, if you come across a property that might interest a homeowner, send them a personalized email mentioning how it could affect their home value. Similarly, if you notice milestones or achievements on social media, sending a congratulatory message demonstrates your attention and care. Personalized value goes beyond automated systems, transforming your CRM into a relationship-building tool.G - Get Systematic and Social with Your CRM
Establish a systematic approach for consistent communication to take full advantage of your CRM system. Besides automated property emails, consider sending regular newsletters with community updates, featured properties, and local activities. Highlighting events and happenings outside of real estate helps to engage your contacts on a more personal level. Additionally, leverage social media platforms to connect with your contacts on a deeper level. You can find them on social media, follow them, and engage with their posts. Blending systematic and social elements makes your CRM a powerful referral machine.E - Every Interaction Prompts the Next Conversation
Ensure no contact falls through the cracks by promptly recording and scheduling follow-ups for every interaction. Each time you engage with someone, whether through calls, messages, or social media interactions, note it in your CRM system and set reminders for future conversations or actions. Set specific to-do tasks for each contact, such as sending an unsolicited CMA to a homeowner in six months or suggesting properties to a potential buyer in three weeks. By following a systematic plan, you can maintain consistent communication and maximize deal opportunities.Effectively utilizing your CRM system as an ATM for your business requires an intentional and strategic approach. Following the ENGAGE framework, you can create a database that consistently drives deals for your real estate business. Stay proactive, organized, and engaged with your contacts to build a valuable asset that supports your business growth and success.
“Your database or CRM is actually the opportunity of a lifetime for you. It is where you have the foundation of your business. It keeps you organized and allows you to have a sellable asset when and if you decide to exit real estate. As long as it is set up properly, it is set up to be systemized.” - Jimmy Burgess.

Do you pay attention to other's mistakes? If not, you may want to start.
Learning from other agents can be the one thing that saves you from making mistakes within your real estate business. In this episode of the TRES podcast, host Jimmy Burgess delves into the critical factors that can make or break a real estate agent's business.
Drawing from the experiences and observations of a top-producing agent, he explores the common mistakes that can potentially hinder the success of real estate professionals. The actionable insights in this episode aim to guide agents in making strategic shifts to propel their businesses toward growth and sustained success.
Avoid Waiting and Take Action
The first crucial point highlighted is the detrimental effect of waiting on an agent's business progression. Jimmy emphasizes the importance of taking proactive steps and seizing control of controllable factors, such as the number of phone calls made and overall activity levels. The message is clear - waiting for the perfect conditions will not yield progress; action is key to driving the business forward.Overcoming the Trap of Making Excuses
Jimmy addresses the tendency of agents to make excuses instead of taking responsibility for their progress. Whether it's blaming external factors like interest rates or lacking the necessary skills, the speaker highlights how excuses can hold agents back. He encourages agents to leverage today's abundant resources, such as online learning platforms, to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to excel in their roles. By reframing their mindset, agents can transcend excuse-making and instead focus on tangible actions that drive momentum and create opportunities.The Power of Listening and Providing Value
Jimmy emphasizes the art of active listening and the significance of understanding clients' needs to provide genuine value. It urges agents to shift from talking excessively to developing a deep understanding of client's requirements. Agents should ask insightful questions and listen carefully to their clients to foster trust and long-term relationships.Focusing on Relevant Value
Jimmy exposes the pitfall of fixing macro-level issues beyond an agent's control. Instead, agents are encouraged to prioritize adding value to their immediate clients by addressing their specific needs. Concentrating on controllable factors and responding actively to clients' needs allows agents to minimize distractions and direct their energy toward meaningful interactions.Balancing Planning and Taking Action
While planning is pivotal, the episode emphasizes the danger of becoming stuck in a perpetual state of planning without executing. Agents are urged to balance setting goals and translating them into actionable steps. Daily activities are the building blocks of long-term success, emphasizing the need for consistent action over excessive planning.The Crucial Element of Keeping in Touch
The episode underscores the significance of maintaining regular communication with clients, stressing that consistent engagement is essential for nurturing relationships and preventing missed opportunities. Agents are encouraged to stay connected with active buyers and future sellers, recognizing that a lack of communication can result in opportunities slipping through the cracks.The Influence of Surroundings
The episode concludes by addressing the impact of the people agents surround themselves with. Jimmy highlights the significance of engaging with productive individuals and seeking mentorship from top performers. By spending time with active, high-achieving peers, agents can elevate their own performance and outlook, fostering a culture of growth and self-improvement.This insightful episode uncovers the crucial elements that can spell success or failure for real estate agents. Agents can navigate away from business-killing behaviors by embracing a proactive mindset, overcoming excuse-making, delivering genuine value, and maintaining consistent client engagement. These lessons can be helpful for agents looking to chart a path toward sustainable growth and success.
"We can't control interest rates, so why are we focusing on interest rates instead of how interest rates affect those buyers or sellers we're working with? Decide not to focus on the big things that you can't control. Focus on the things you can control." -Jimmy Burgess.

In this episode of The Real Estate Sales Podcast, host Jimmy Burgess highlights five AI tools revolutionizing the real estate industry. These tools are game-changers, helping agents streamline their businesses and enhance their communication with clients.
The possibilities with AI are endless, from video captioning apps to AI-powered market reports. Let's dive into the details and explore how these tools can take your real estate business to the next level.
Captions for Talking Videos
Jimmy introduces the concept of using captions for talking videos, an AI-powered app that adds captions to videos.

The AI technology intelligently adjusts the video to create the illusion of eye contact, resulting in a more engaging and personal experience for viewers. Additionally, the app can translate the video into different languages and even synchronize the lip movements in the translated version.RPR Market Reports
RPR (Realtors Property Resource) is a valuable resource available to all National Association of Realtors members. Traditionally, this tool provided detailed market reports, but recently, it has integrated AI capabilities to enhance its functionality. Jimmy demonstrates how to access the AI-powered research page and create scripts for various tones, such as professional, engaging, or conversational. These scripts can generate SEO-optimized social media posts, blog posts, or video scripts. Agents can now present comprehensive market details tailored to their audience with minimal effort.AI Virtual Assistants
Virtual assistants have become indispensable in the real estate industry. Through AI technology, these virtual assistants can handle various tasks, such as scheduling appointments, answering client queries, and providing property information. Jimmy emphasizes the efficiency and convenience of AI-powered virtual assistants in automating repetitive tasks, allowing agents to focus on more productive activities.AI-Powered Lead Generation
Gone are the days of manual lead generation. AI algorithms can now analyze vast amounts of data and predict potential buyer or seller leads.

Agents can optimize their lead generation efforts through data-driven insights, ultimately increasing their conversion rates.AI Home Staging
Virtual and augmented reality technologies combined with AI algorithms have transformed the concept of home staging. Jimmy explains how AI home staging tools can virtually stage a property, allowing potential buyers to visualize the space with different furniture and decor options. This technology saves time, money, and efforts associated with physical staging, while still achieving the desired impact on potential buyers.Artificial intelligence is reshaping the real estate industry, offering diverse tools to help agents optimize their businesses. As technology continues to advance, it is crucial for agents to adapt and embrace AI tools to stay competitive in an ever-evolving industry.

In this week’s episode of the TRES podcast, Jimmy explores the concept of belief and its impact on success in the real estate business. He debunks common myths and misconceptions that hold back many agents from reaching their full potential.
By understanding and challenging these beliefs, agents can take actionable steps toward achieving their goals. Listen to the seven lies unsuccessful agents often believe and discover how to overcome them.
Top agents get all of the business
Many agents believe that top performers dominate the market and hinder their chances of success. However, Jimmy reveals that top agents were once in the same position as struggling individuals.
The key is to believe in your own potential and learn from those who have achieved success.
By studying and emulating successful agents, you can shift your mindset. This will lead to taking actions that propel your business forward.
The market is too difficult to gain market share
The perceived difficulty of the market can discourage agents from taking the necessary steps to grow their business.
Jimmy challenges this belief by emphasizing that a changing market presents opportunities for those willing to do things differently.
In a down market, agents can stand out by doing what others are not doing.
Regardless of market conditions, agents can grow their businesses by providing value, staying proactive, and leveraging current market dynamics.
Cold calling does not work
Many agents believe that cold calling is ineffective and outdated.
Jimmy shares that approaching cold calling strategically can be a powerful tool for generating leads and building relationships.
Agents can initiate meaningful conversations by sharing market information or seeking referrals during calls.
I don't have enough money to market myself effectively
Agents often believe that significant financial resources are required to market themselves and stand out from the competition.
Jimmy emphasizes that social media platforms provide cost-effective avenues to enhance visibility and attract clients.
By leveraging free marketing tools, such as shooting videos or engaging on social media, agents can effectively market themselves without having to rely solely on a substantial marketing budget.
I need more money to make more money
The belief that more money is a prerequisite for success can be limiting.
Jimmy highlights that sustained growth in the real estate business is achieved through hard work and consistent effort, rather than relying solely on financial investment.
Agents can achieve their goals by adopting a hustle mindset and focusing on activities that generate results.
"Taking action in your business really starts with what you believe. If you believe something, then you take actions or don't take actions based on that belief." - Jimmy Burgess
Belief plays a crucial role in an agent's success in the real estate business. By debunking common myths and challenging limiting beliefs, agents can unlock their full potential and take the necessary actions to grow their businesses. With the right mindset, determination, and daily effort, agents can overcome obstacles, achieve their goals, and become top-producing professionals in the real estate industry.
