  • Welcome to our first KLT Mini-Pod! These mini-pods are meant to be short, sweet, and full of actionable insights you can apply immediately to your real estate business.

    In this mini-pod, Carrie and I dive into a lively discussion about the importance of authenticity and consistency in personal branding. Our chat, sparked by Kate Middleton's recent faux pas and doctored photo, really hit home for us as real estate marketers. It got us thinking about the real essence of branding, which isn't just about your logo but your entire public persona—your reputation.

    Here's what we want you to take away:

    Authenticity is vital: Showing your true self, flaws and all, resonates more than trying to appear perfect. Stay consistent: Mixing messages or visuals can confuse your audience - and confusion doesn't sell. A clear and consistent brand builds trust. Rely on professionals: Outsourcing experts can make a huge difference. Focus on your strengths and let the specialists handle the rest.

    Focusing on your strengths and leaving the rest to those who do it best has immense power.

  • In real estate, one year without a sale can feel like an eternity. But for Diana Zaya, that tough year was a turning point. She leaned into data to help guide her path forward. She went on to close four million in sales the following year, which was a lot 25 years ago. It was at this point that Diana's love of data began.


    Now leading Maverick Systems, Diana equips real estate brokerages with the tools to boost agent performance and retention and attract agents who fit into the organization's model and culture. The secret is understanding the metrics, deciphering the trends, and using them to carve out a competitive edge.


    For those of you thinking, "Data, metrics, trends... that's not my language," you're not alone. I'll be the first to admit that data analysis isn't my strength. But here's the thing: it doesn't have to be. Diana has this way of translating data into actionable insights that even analytical minds can get behind. She's got a knack for narrowing in on the metrics that get to the root of any problem—or opportunity.


    Diana believes that pinpointing the problem is half the battle. Once you've got that down, the path to resolution becomes a whole lot clearer. In this episode, Diana walks you through understanding customer personas and tailoring strategies to win new listings.
    So whether you're a Broker/Owner, seasoned agent, or just dipping your toes into the real estate market, tune in. Diana's insights might just transform how you look at your business—and your bottom line.

  • Today, we're diving into a topic that, let's be honest, doesn't get the spotlight it deserves – retiring from real estate without leaving money on the table or feeling lost.

    Our special guest is Nancy Robinson, the VP of Sales at Christie's International Real Estate - Sereno in Northern, CA.

    Nancy is uber passionate when it comes to preparing agents for a smooth and profitable retirement.

    According to the National Association of REALTORS, the average age of a REALTOR is 57 and more than 65% of REALTORS are over age 50.

    The reality is that many of these agents are hitting retirement age unprepared. Many agents find themselves at a crossroads, financially strapped or emotionally unready to step back, despite knowing it's time.

    In this episode, Nancy addresses these head-on with practical steps like setting up a SEP IRA with automatic savings, keeping tabs on your source of business, marketing consistently to your SOI, and the importance of finding a mentor or coach. Plus, she talks about building a trustworthy alliance to pass the torch smoothly.

    If you're a real estate agent or Broker/Owner or Manager who supports real estate agents, tune in and connect with Nancy.

  • Martha Melendez is REALTOR and the VP of Talent Acquistion with Engle and Volkers Aspire Group on the Florida Space Coast.

    Martha is not your average REALTOR. She's a woman on a mission to make her dreams a reality, and she does so by being intentional. Martha's formula for achieving success looks like this:

    Write your vision down and review it every day. In Martha's case, she creates a vision board each year. Utilizing images, words and photography, she visualizes her goals and dreams for the coming year.

    Follow the 20/20/20 Rule. Each day consume 20 minutes of something motivational, spend 20 minutes getting your house in order and invest 20 minutes in movement.

    Implement a daily ritual. Creating habits and time blocking are key to ensuring your vision becomes a reality.

  • In a refreshing twist, this week's episode of our podcast takes an exciting turn - and I'm confident you're going to love it! We're thrilled to present a podcast swap with the incredibly talented Katie Lance. I'm sharing one of my top picks from Katie's podcast collection. In this episode, she has a conversation with Stephanie Chumbley, the Director of Social Media and Education at Chicago Title in Portland, OR. Stephanie offers invaluable insights, particularly about content creation and mastering the art of time blocking. Here are my favorite pearls: Harness the Power of Listening: Transform your listening skills into a content generation tool. Keep track of daily occurrences, note the questions you're asked, and weave these elements into your social media content. Use Movement for Focus: Integrate movement into your routine. It's not just about physical health; it's a strategy to enhance grounding and focus, ultimately leading to more efficient time management. Embrace Imperfection in Videos: Don't shy away from mistakes in your video content. Perfection isn't the goal; relatability is. Remember, being genuine and approachable resonates more than flawless execution. Take a listen and let me know what you think. Tune into Katie's Podcast here. Follow Stephanie on Instagram here.
