Are you ready for a mindset check as we learn to embrace change in the real estate industry? Are you tired of the "Negative Nancy" narrative? It's time to embrace change and ditch the what-ifs and complaining. In this episode, we're leaving behind the feeling of resistance and talking about the importance of focusing on our businesses, building systems, and staying confident amidst industry shifts. We'll tackle toxic positivity, share stories from the trenches, and remind you why clients choose YOU. We share how hundreds of our listeners responded to our survey asking how they are feeling and what this change looks like for them. Have buyers refused to sign buyer rep’s? Did the brokers do a good job of training and prep? Are agents looking for loopholes to go around new rules? We are answering all of these questions with help from you!

Are you looking for specific suggestions for how to get more listings? This is the episode for you! In this chat we give a pretty comprehensive list of different methods for drumming up new listing business. With recent changes in the industry growing a thriving listing business is more important than ever. We share the specifics of using open houses, geographical farming, circle prospecting, just listed/sold campaigns, contacting expired or FSBO sellers, optimizing your google profile, online leads, and our favorite: database campaigns. Find out the specific niche of neighborhoods you might want to focus on plus why you don’t want to contact an expired listing seller the first day it expires. And what about homes that need to get listed due to divorce or death? We are talking about those too. We touch on door knocking and our thoughts as well as what you can do on social media if you prefer an online approach to lead generation. We remind you that you don’t need to do ALL of these things to be successful, in fact we hope you’ll take away from this episode that when you do everything you can’t be great at anything.

In this episode, we dive into the vital role of maintaining a strong and healthy database for repeat and referral business. Many agents get caught up chasing new leads and often miss out on nurturing their current clients.

We’ll also be sharing 8 actionable ideas to help you show value to your database, keeping them engaged and ensuring your clients keep returning and referring you to others. We answer listener questions about how to find people for their database and who should and shouldn’t be in it. In the end it’s all about building lasting relationships through exceptional service and genuine interactions!

Let’s travel back in time to 5 years ago when two full time Realtors were looking to make a difference in the industry they loved. We are excited to reshare episode 1 of the podcast. Yes, the sound quality has come a long way, but the message still rings true!

Introduction to Alissa & Katy and the WHY behind Hustle Humbly

In this episode we introduce ourselves and give a little background on why we see a need in the real estate industry for a podcast of encouragement. We both share a love of mentoring agents and wanted the ability to reach a larger audience. Alissa was going on dozens of coffee dates a year to give advice to new and struggling agents and this episode dives into what was talked about in those coffee dates. We also talk about how we met on one of these very dates and the reasons Katy reached out to Alissa. Join us as we toast our mentors and pull back the curtain on the "secret" to success!

It’s our 5th birthday today and we are sharing how the show and our advice has changed you, our listeners. We can barely believe it was 5 whole years ago when we met up for breakfast on podcast release day. We hoped to get just 100 downloads that day and now we’ve surpassed 2,000,000. But this episode and this birthday aren’t about us; it’s about YOU! So many kind listeners wrote in to tell us how the show has impacted their lives and how it makes them feel and we are sharing their thoughts with you. From buying their brokerage to being able to afford their dream to simply finding a way to work peacefully while raising 5 kids, Hustle Humbly has played a part. You’ve listened to us in the car, the shower, while walking the dog, training for a marathon, doing laundry and dishes, and so much more. We are beyond grateful for each of you and so humbled by these stories and all of our listeners who keep returning every Monday. Maybe you feel like we are friends and the truth is we ARE. Thank you for everything! Happy podcast birthday to you!
