25.01.2022 Six hours of back to back one-on-ones with our agents done I feel for all those suffering, both with their health and also financially. However, theres not much I can do about that. What I can do something about is the success of our agents As tough as it was, I wouldnt be where I am today if it wasnt for the last crisis/downturn (the GFC) ... By the time it was over, I only had $5k left in the bank, but Id survived (50% of Agents had not), and I had done the work to set myself up to THRIVE I had made 20 calls/day everyday, I had got as many listings/sales as I could, I had not got distracted (like so many are now), and Id turned my name into a household brand in my area. When the market turned, I grew my business by 250% in one year, and its grown every year since. So when I say I wouldnt be where I am today, I mean it! Where are you going to be when this is all over, and the market has recovered?

25.01.2022 Agents that race together, stay together!! We all crave connection, and we all want to be part of a community of likeminded individuals with common goals & values I remember when I started my own business... it can be a lonely journey! Nobody to talk to, nobody that knows what youre going through, nobody to offer solid advice ... Thats why we are building an amazing community at @urbanx.io of successful independent agents & business owners... but more than that, theyre f**king great people too!! Talk to any of the agents we have partnered with over the last year & youll find a common goal - to be the best they can be, to do a great job for their clients, and to achieve financial freedom... something very few agents ever achieve If you want to start your own business, keep more of your commission, build your own brand, and join the movement we are creating to MAKE REAL ESTATE GREAT AGAIN, lets chat . . . . #urbanx #realestate #realestateagents #realestatebrisbane #realestatesydney #realestatemelbourne #realestateadelaide #realestateperth #realestateauckland #brisbanerealestate #sydneyrealestate #melbournerealestate #realestateagent See more

23.01.2022 Sooooooo this just happened!! Pumped to announce two of the Sunshine Coasts top agents, Nigel Jackson & Richard Jones, have joined forces to form Jackson Jones, proudly powered by UrbanX Richard was previously an agency director with another group, and Nigel has held senior management positions in other industries prior to his successful career in real estate ... Whilst working together at their previous agency, Nigel & Richard discovered a shared approach for providing exceptional customer service. It was that mutual desire for eXcellence that inspired them to establish their own business - one they have complete control over, to ensure their clients always receive optimal service Backed by their team, including Vanessa, Kate & Meg, they are a formidable force in the industry, and were very excited to be working with them now #urbanx #realestate #realestateagents #realestatebrisbane #realestatesydney #realestatemelbourne #realestateadelaide #realestateperth #realestateauckland #brisbanerealestate #sydneyrealestate #melbournerealestate #realestateagent #jacksonjones

23.01.2022 In the next instalment of Real Estate Uncut with Kevin Turner, I share my 4th lesson on how I not only survived during the GFC, but actually THRIVED, growing my business by 250% in 1 year! With the market slowing down rapidly now, these lessons have never been more important! In 2010, before the GFC really hit Australia in 2011-12, I was selling 1 property/week. I was writing $700k GCI, but after losing $300k to the agency I worked for, $50k for an assistant, + super & tax, ...I was only left with about $180k. Sound familiar...? When the market slowed, I went from 1 sale/week to 1/month, and there was no way I could survive on 1/4 of what I had been earning. I realised the best thing I could do was to start working for myself, and keep the $300k that I was paying to the agency... and thats exactly what I did! Was I scared? Yes! Did I think some people listed with me because of the agency I worked for? Yes! Could I have failed? Yes, but who cares...I could always go back to an agency! So I took the leap of faith, and honestly its the only reason im still in the industry now. Now that I have worked for myself for 10 years, I can honestly say its one of the best things ive ever done. I actually have no idea why so many agents still work for someone else, when all their clients are listing with them because of them, and buyers dont care who they buy from... they just buy from whoever has the listing. If you agree with that, why give 50% of your commission away!? Ill tell you why.... FEAR! So many agents I talk to are scared.... theyre scared theyll fail, theyre scared their clients wont list with them any more, theyre scared of upsetting their Principal. I get it! Fear holds all of us back. It nearly held me back too. But I thought about where I wanted to be in 10 years, and I knew I was never going to get there by remaining an employee. And now, 10 years later, I can look back and honestly say its the only way to work! When the market turned, and my GCI went up from $700k to $1.2M, I invested all of the extra income I was keeping, and built a $10M empire by the age of 35. What are you going to do with your life/career to go to the next level?

23.01.2022 Wow hasnt the world changed in the last week Last Wednesday we celebrated the launch of Eastell and Co. with one of the top agents in Coolum @Clinton Eastell or Coolum Clinton as hes affectionately known What made this evening even more special is that it was also Clintons 26th birthday. After starting in real estate at the age of 19 (1 year before me), he always wanted to open his own business. At only 26 (also 1 year before me), that dream is now a reality, and... Clinton, with Ashleigh Ebneter by his side, is already a raging success It may seem like bad timing to start a new business in this market....however the opposite is true! I started my business in 2011, while Brisbane was under water, and the GFC was slamming our market It was one of the best things Ive ever done. Deals dried up, and I had to work extra hard to get listings & sales. While most other agents were panicking, I focused on what I could control - thats where my 20:1:20 strategy came from. I made 20 calls a day (no matter what bullshit was going on in the world that day), and booked 1 meeting a day. That meant 20 meetings a month, and out of those, I knew I could get 2-3 listings I spent about 10% of my time everyday educating vendors on what price they needed to be listed at to sell, and the other 90% of my day getting more listings. Many vendors wouldnt listen to my advice, so I needed to carry twice as many listings as usual. I went from selling 1 property per week in 2010 to 1 per month in 2011 My income plummeted, and if it wasnt for the fact I was working for myself rather than an agency & giving half my commission away, its unlikely Id still be in the industry now. Secondly, because sales were few & far between, everyone noticed my sold signs, and I built a personal brand of being an agent that got results When the market turned, just as this will, I had positioned myself as a market leader, and my business sky rocketed In fact as soon as the market turned, my sales increased 250% in 1 year, and the groundwork was laid for the business I built over the next 6 years, eventually winning The REIQ Agency of the Year UrbanX

23.01.2022 One year since we reached Everest Base Camp - without a doubt one of the hardest physical & mental challenges I’ve faced Lessons learnt: when you’re going to embark on a new adventure in life, business etc, find a guide that’s walked the path before you,... determination is a test of your commitment, don’t focus on the whole task, just the next step, if you want to go fast, go alone but if you want to go far, go together. I would not have made it without my mountain brother @tustins.cars , be grateful for what you have - our living conditions are the envy of many, life is short, don’t put everything off til one day, the most important things in life can’t be rushed, shitting in a hole really is as disgusting as it sounds @soldbydan . . . . #everest #everestbasecamp #everestbasecamptrek #mteverest #mounteverest #resilience #bucketlist #motivation #inspiration #entrepreneurlife #success

20.01.2022 Theres only 2 reasons why any property wont sell, regardless of how good or tough the market is, and thats PRICE or PRESENTATION In this 3rd instalment of Real Estate Uncut with Kevin Turner, I share how to THRIVE during any market, especially a tough market like we find ourselves in now Whenever I list a property, I work with the owner to get the property presented as if it was going to be shot for Vogue Living Homes That meant starting from the kerb and looking at... the property through a buyers eyes Paint the front fence, gerni the driveway, oil the deck, de-clutter the house, and bring in some new furniture. A well presented property attracts more inquiry, and more inquiries lead to more inspections which lead to more offers which lead to a higher sale price. In fact, in my experience, $5k spent on improving the presentation of a property often results in a sale price $25-50k higher. The other benefit of maximising the presentation of my listings is that if they still werent selling, the only issue was the price! Many agents think their job is to defend the price, but I dont agree - our job is to get the HIGHEST possible price, given the market conditions. Sometimes its more than a seller wants, sometimes its less, but as long as we get the highest possible price, weve done our job. I also believe that the quicker a property sells, the more it will sell for, because after 4 weeks, it starts to go stale, and buyers ask whats wrong with the property. That means, if the property is presented beautifully, and it hasnt sold after the first 2 weeks on the market, its time to start aligning the price to the market, based on buyers feedback/offers. If after aligning once theres still no offers, its time for another alignment. The other point id make is that not all listings are listings; some are liabilities - meaning they are overpriced & unmotivated, and therefore just a waste of your time. The best agents are adapting to this new market, and pricing their listings accordingly. Buyers are recognising value, and transacting on those properties!

20.01.2022 I just finished recording a mini-series with Kevin Turner, which comes out next week, focused on helping you not only survive during the market downturn, but actually THRIVE During the GFC, I learnt lessons which are applicable now: 1. Strategy 20:1:20. No matter what was going on everyday, I focused on making calls & connecting with my clients/pipeline. I made 20 calls/day to book 1 meeting/day. If I could do 20 meetings/month, I could generate 2-3 listings/month ... 2. Goals - small, medium & large. Goals drove the activity & the activity drove the results. On days when I didnt feel like it, I focused on my goals. Examples: small - reward myself with an espresso after I made 20 connects (instant coffee otherwise). Medium - go out for dinner at the end of the month if I got 5 listings (stay home otherwise). Large - the @rolex I wanted if I hit my annual GCI goal 3. Price vs presentation - the only 2 reasons why every property wont sell. I started with presentation & Id help my clients make their properties look like they were to be photographed for @vogueliving Well presented homes attracted more interest which got them sold faster, which equaled selling for more. After I nailed presentation, if it still wasnt selling, the only issue left was price & I worked everyday to align my clients to the market. 4. Worked for myself. I wouldnt still be in the industry now if I kept working for an agency. At the time I was writing $700k & losing $300k to the agency. The quickest way to increase my income, when sales dropped, was to keep that $300k myself. At the lowest point during the GFC, I went from 1 sale/week to 1 sale/month, and my savings dropped from $100k to $5k. That was with me keeping all of my commission...I would have gone broke if I was only getting 50-60%. 5. Brand YOU. In real estate, our name is our brand, and our brand is not just a nice logo, its our reputation & what were known for. The brand that I built was Dan Argent gets results, and people noticed me for that. My business turned from a chase-business to an attraction-business, and when the GFC ended, I had 250% growth

15.01.2022 Massive congrats to our top agents of the month for June _ @benwakelyproperties @trudypulvirentiproperty @stephenmproperties @thomas_coussens @nickmannproperties _ @clintoneastell_eastellandco @ebnetera @srdawes11 ... _ @chrissiekrummel _ Combined sales of $17,897,000 for the month between the 3 of them, well done guys See more

15.01.2022 Thanks for the article guys! Such an important topic!!

13.01.2022 Im seriously impressed by this young man... wow that made me sound old haha back in my day... Anywayyyy at the age I started my real estate career (just before my 21st bday), Perry Edmondson-Clark is already launching his own business Edmondson-Clark & Co Perry has been in the industry since he was only 15y.o., originally starting as a school-based trainee, and then full-time since the age of 17. He has worked with 2 of Brisbanes top agents, and has himself built a ...strong reputation in the Everton Park market + surrounds No longer content with giving away over half his commission at a franchise office, Perry decided it was time to turn his dream of working for himself into a reality: Ever since I got into real estate, its been a dream to provide tailored options for my clients, to do whats right - not what the brand wants you to do, and of course to make more money, Perry said Watch this space, theres BIG things coming #urbanx #realestate #realestateagents #realestatebrisbane #realestatesydney #realestatemelbourne #realestateadelaide #realestateperth #realestateauckland #brisbanerealestate #sydneyrealestate #melbournerealestate #realestateagent

12.01.2022 To be great, just dont be shit Theres only one reason @uber were able to decimate the taxi industry... because taxis were shit The cars smelled, the drivers ripped us off, spoke on the phone the whole time, and rarely knew where they were going. Uber is basically the same service, just a little bit better... and by being a little bit better, they revolutionised an industry!... Real estate is no different. We are in the service industry. In fact, we are in the experience industry, and if we dont start to improve, we too will get decimated by something thats marginally better, cheaper, etc. I believe the future of real estate is the agents - agents providing great service and getting great results. That equals value! But for that to be the case, we have to lift our game! Lets do this @urbanx.io . . . . #urbanx #realestate #realestateagents #realestatebrisbane #realestatesydney #realestatemelbourne #realestateadelaide #realestateperth #realestateauckland #brisbanerealestate #sydneyrealestate #melbournerealestate #realestateagent

11.01.2022 Congratulations to our top 3 agents in March Ben Wakely Properties Eastell and Co. Caroline Brown Property... Despite the challenges, our agents have really lifted to the occasion, and were seeing some huge results at the moment. Its amazing to see how when the going gets tough, the tough get going! No surprise in the fact our top 2 agents last month are both ex-professional sports players. The kind of grit & resilience that comes from competitive sport is so applicable to business.

09.01.2022 Continuing on from yesterdays video, all of this week I will be sharing the top 5 lessons I learnt during the GFC to grow my business by 250% in 1 year, and then continue that growth every year since then In todays episode with Kevin Turner on Real Estate Uncut, I share the advice that I received in 1999 that changed my life... "you can have anything you want if you set goals & work hard". Anyyyyything, I thought...!? I then set goals so big that I had no idea how I would... achieve them, but over the next 15 years, I achieved every single one of them When the GFC hit my business, it was goals that allowed me to succeed, by keeping me focused on what I could control, which was my daily actions. To keep me motivated, I set small (daily) goals, medium (monthly) goals, and large (annual) goals While other agents were distracted, I was focused. While other agents were dropping out of the industry, I was building my business. And 8 years later, I look back and can attribute the empire I have built, to the work I did during the last downturn. For many, this period right now is the greatest opportunity you will experience in the next 10 years to grow, to create something amazing, and to set yourself up for life.

07.01.2022 Theres a saying its lonely at the top, and thats definitely something a lot of business owners experience _ I remember feeling that way when I ran my own agency - that I had nobody on my level I could talk to _ Thats why COMMUNITY is so important at @urbanx.io; bc we never want anyone to feel alone! Like a professional sports team, we are individuals that come together as one ... _ Last night we had the chance to network with our Gold Club (agents individually writing $500k+/yr GCI) for our exclusive quarterly dinner _ This all started as a dream a year ago, and sometimes we have to pinch ourselves at the amazing movement we are starting together - a movement to be the best we can be, to lift the standards in our industry, and to change the game by empowering agents to work smarter + earn more . . . . #urbanx #realestate #realestateagents #realestatebrisbane #realestatesydney #realestatemelbourne #realestateadelaide #realestateperth #realestateauckland #brisbanerealestate #sydneyrealestate #melbournerealestate #realestateagent @ Same same See more

07.01.2022 The DNA of @urbanx.io is a combination of empowering agents to live their best life, and empowering those less fortunate than us to do the same Thats the foundations upon which everything we do is built, and why we donate 10% of our profits to providing scholarships for disadvantaged kids via our Butterfly Effect Foundation Today I had the privilege of joining Sandy Murdoch, founder of @tractionbuilds, for their 2nd annual CEO Bike Build to raise much-needed funds fo...r the work they do, helping at-risk teens from going off the rails, whilst learning valuable life skills such as goals, resilience, teamwork & communication Our goal is to provide 1000 scholarships for kids to get a quality education, and to have the best possible start in life, so that they can fulfil their potential If it wasnt for my Mum, who raised me on her own, and worked 3 jobs to send me to a good school, I wouldnt be where I am today. Im sure many of you have the same story. The fact we get to pay that forward, multiplied 1000 times over, is one of the most fulfilling parts of my life Great work Sandy, were proud to be involved @soldbydan @urbanx.io #tractioncommunity #ceobikebuild #butterflyeffectfoundation #realestate #urbanx

07.01.2022 Stories are so important. We grow up listening to them, and we all have one On The Couch is all about sharing the stories behind the agents launching their own businesses on the @urbanx.io platform What Ive found, is that we all share common goals - to be the best we can be, to break free from the status quo, and to achieve our life goals, including financial freedom ... @liamahony is no different, and after a few months working for himself, Liam shares his experience, especially the fear he had to overcome. I find that its this fear that holds back most of us from achieving what were truly capable of The good news is that FEAR is just false evidence appearing real, and we get to decide whether we overcome it, or it overcomes us

06.01.2022 Do you ever feel like you’ve got no idea what you’re doing, and you’re way outside your comfort zone? Good!!! That’s called the GROWTH zone, and it’s gonna feel rough sometimes, but it’s so important to embrace that feeling rather than running from it. Everyone I speak to that’s been successful has had multiple periods in their life where they’ve felt like an imposter, like they shouldn’t be doing what they’re doing. But they pushed through it, they did the work, and now they...’re reaping the benefits. Save this & watch it every time you’re outside you’re comfort zone . . . . #realestate #realestateagent #10x #realestatelife #realestateaustralia #urbanx #success #entrepreneurlife

06.01.2022 GOALS When I was 20, driving my $5k Honda Civic (swipe ), I got some advice that changed my life... You can have ANYTHING you want if you set goals & work hard.... Because Id grown up with NOTHING, the idea of having ANYTHING was appealing, so I wrote down everything I wanted I wanted to buy a BMW, an apartment, an investment property every year, a house for my Mum (bc shed rented her whole life), a beach house, and to start my own business I thought, if I can achieve all of those things, Ill buy my dream car - a @porsche 911 Remember, I was only 20 & driving a car that cost 1/60th of the price, but it didnt matter - others had achieved it, so why couldnt I It took me 15 years, but I achieved every goal on that list! Now I have a new list of goals, but this time a lot more balanced than just acquiring things. My challenge to you is to set goals for your life, and when doing so THINK BIG!! I suggest you set goals for every area of your life including Health, Wealth, Growth, Love & Contribution - now thats a recipe for success... or my Successipe as I call it . . . . #goals #goal #goalsetting #goalgetter #goaldigger #porsche #porsche911 #inspiration #inspirationalquotes #motivation #motivationalquotes #urbanx #motivationmonday #motivated #motivational #realestate #brisbanerealestate #sydneyrealestate #melbournerealestate #perthrealestate #adelaiderealestate #aucklandrealestate @ UrbanX

05.01.2022 I need to be honest with you guys about something... It ALL starts with YOU Once you change your mind, your whole world begins to change!... You have to BELIEVE in you. It doesnt matter if your family believes in you, your friends, your clients, etc...the whole world can believe in you, but until YOU believe in you, you will never reach your full potential. And until you do, that burning feeling of unfulfillment in life will continue to erode your soul, and youll look for quick wins to make yourself feel better, like that new suit, or new watch, or new car, or new [insert more useless shit here]. So how do you believe in yourself, in your power, in what youre truly capable of...? Look at what youve achieved already, at how far youve already come, at the odds youve already defied! There is power in your story! And if youve been able to achieve all that....imagine what else you can achieve! Besides, until you start living the life youre capable of, how much pain are you causing yourself, and the ones you love? Is your doubt really worth that? When you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt. If all else fails, just get the word tattood on your arm like me, so every time the doubt starts to creep back in, you just look at it and remind yourself that YOU GOT THIS . . . . #urbanx #realestate #realestateagents #realestatebrisbane #realestatesydney #realestatemelbourne #realestateadelaide #realestateperth #realestateauckland #brisbanerealestate #sydneyrealestate #melbournerealestate #realestateagent

03.01.2022 After 14 years in Real Estate, operating at the highest levels, @garryjoneshomes was understandably wanting to take his career to the next level When we first met, Garry had been talking to a number of different agencies about an ownership/equity position, however ultimately he decided there was no point owning a small share in someone elses business, and his best option was to take a leap of faith and start his own Thats where @urbanx.io comes in, and were so pleased ...to be able to help Garry not only launch his own business & brand, but also provide ongoing support (full admin support, accounts, marketing, training, software, etc) so that Garry can focus on helping his clients buy/sell, and when not working, have a great balanced life - a rare feat to achieve for most business owners The fact that Garry will now be keeping TWICE as much of his commissions is a bonus. Life is about so much more than money, but if youre going to work hard anyway, doesnt it make sense to keep more of what youre earning so you can fund the lifestyle you want... Congratulations on taking your career, and business, to the next level @garryjoneshomes. With @mark_waldron by your side, we cant wait to see what you achieve... and well be there with you every step of the way . . . . . #urbanx #garryjones #garryjoneshomes #realestate #realestateagents #realestatebrisbane #realestatesydney #realestatemelbourne #realestateadelaide #realestateperth #realestateauckland #brisbanerealestate #sydneyrealestate #melbournerealestate #realestateagent @ UrbanX

03.01.2022 Live on 20% of your income & invest the rest @grantcardone In life, you need to decide whether you want to be rich, or just look rich The second one is easy but if you actually want to build a financial empire, you need a clear strategy, and what better person to learn from than billionaire @grantcardone ... No matter how much you’re earning, invest 40% into growth assets like property, shares & business, another 40% will unfortunately go in tax, and then live on the remaining 20% Over time you can adjust the percentages, but if you follow this strategy for 5-10 years, your life will never be the same again #FREEDOM @soldbydan . . . . #grantcardone #10x #urbanx #realestate #invest #success #growth #business #entrepreneur

02.01.2022 So many agents Im talking to at the moment are finding deals much harder to put together, nervous buyers pulling out, finance harder to get, etc . @commbank have said property prices will fall by 10% up to 20%. I predict properties up to $1M will fall by 10%, properties between $1-2.5M will fall by 20%, and properties over that will drop even more . This shouldnt come as a huge surprise to anyone - exactly the same thing happened during the last downturn. Whenever u...nemployment spikes, property prices fall . The issue for agents isnt so much the drop in value, its the drop in volume that it causes. When prices drop, only people that NEED to sell put their properties on the market (theyll all still say we dont need to sell ), and only people that can get a bargain will buy. . During the last downturn, my sales volume dropped from 1 house per week to 1 per month. That means my income dropped 75%. As I said yesterday, I was writing $700k, and after costs, I was only left with $180k. So living on 1/4 of that wouldnt be much fun . I decided to work for myself, and save the $300k per year Id been losing to my agency. My volume dropped by 75%, but my income only dropped by 50%, because I was keeping twice as much of the commission . I wont lie, it was still bloody tough, but I wouldnt have survived if I hadnt been working for myself! . If youre still working hard, 6 days a week, getting listings & sales, but watching all the commission disappear to your agency & tax, why not WORK SMARTER & EARN MORE . In 2013 I had $5k in the bank, and over $1M in debt. Fast forward to today and Ive built a $10M empire - all by working for myself, while most other schmucks I know in the industry stayed working for an agency, and have gotten nowhere over the last 7 years. . This market will get a lot worse before it gets better, but when it does, where are you going to be? @urbanx.io . . . . . #urbanx #realestate #realestateagents #realestatebrisbane #realestatesydney #realestatemelbourne #realestateadelaide #realestateperth #realestateauckland #brisbanerealestate #sydneyrealestate #melbournerealestate #realestateagent See more

02.01.2022 Every day this week, Kevin Turner & I will be sharing with you the top 5 lessons I learned during the GFC, so my business could not only survive, but actually THRIVE When the GFC ended, I grew my business by 250% in 1 year, and then continued that growth every year, eventually becoming 1 of only 30 agents in Brisbane to write over $1M GCI, which I did for 5 years, before starting UrbanX If you are in real estate, and want to know how to increase your business during this ...period, dont miss this series of Real Estate Uncut Today, I share my #1 strategy... its called 20:1:20... and what that means is that I connected with 20 people every day that owned a property in my area. The goal was to book 1 meeting per day from those 20 connections, and I knew if I did that every day, id get 20 meetings per month. Out of those 20 meetings, I could get 2-3 listings, and it became the way I kept consistency in my business, month after month Of course I also had other sources of business, like referrals, repeat clients, word-of-mouth etc, but the calls gave me something positive to focus on every day. When the GFC ended, I had so many listings, that I was the first to experience the upswing in the market, and people noticed how many properties I was selling. That led more sellers to contact me, and I created an attraction business, allowing me to grow by 250% in 1 year, and become a #milliondollaragent Please leave any questions or comments below #realestate #realestatebrisbane #brisbanerealestate #realestateagents #realestatetraining #urbanx #sydneyrealestate #melbournerealestate #adelaiderealestate #perthrealestate #aucklandrealestate

01.01.2022 Its so important we find the EDGE in life _ Most of us live in our comfort zone. We do just enough to get by, staying in our lane, and avoiding risk at all cost _ This is driven by FEAR... fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear of success, etc ... _ The problem is that fulfilment comes from progress, and progress requires growth, so people that stay in their comfort zone never feel fulfilled. They seek out new cars, new homes, new watches, new partners, but none of it works _ Playing on your EDGE is how youll truly feel alive. How will you know youre there? When youre living IN your fear, dancing with the uncomfortableness of it _ If you are feeling safe, secure & comfortable, perhaps its time to find your next challenge _ @soldbydan @urbanx.io See more

01.01.2022 Fears a powerful thing. I mean, its got a lot of firepower. If you can figure out a way to wrestle that fear to push you from behind than to stand in front of you, thats very powerful. I always felt that I had to work harder than the next guy, just to do as well as the next guy. And to do better than the next guy, I had to just kill. And you know, to a certain extent, thats still with me in how I work, you know. I just... go in! #jimmylovine #drdre #fuckfear . . . .... @soldbydan @soldbydan #urbanx#realestate#realestateagents#realestatebrisbane#realestatesydney#realestatemelbourne#brisbanerealestate#sydneyrealestate#melbournerealestate#realestateagent See more

01.01.2022 In the final episode of Real Estate Uncut with Kevin Turner, I share the most important lesson I learnt during the GFC - the one that set me up for 250% growth in 1 year, and the one that applies to every Real Estate Agent now! _ Prior to the GFC, I worked for an agency, under someone elses name. People sort of knew who I was, but my brand (my name) was diluted by the other brand. When I won @thereiq Agent of the Year in 2010, the media exposure that followed brought in $10M... worth of call-in business. Thats when I started to realise the power of Brand U. _ When I started working for myself, it was MY BRAND that everyone started to recognise every time a signboard got installed, every time a new listing went online, every time a sold sticker went on, it was MY BRAND that people saw... and it became a household name in my market. _ That meant whenever someone thought of selling, I was one of the agents they thought of. I changed from a chase business to an attraction business, and went from $700k to $1.2M GCI. _ Real Estate, like all other professional services, is ALL about the people, and ZERO to do with the company they work for. I would follow my lawyer, accountant, dentist, mechanic, PT, and doctor regardless of where they work - and real estate agents are the same. Ill bet if you look at your last 50 clients, ALL of them listed with you because of you... because you chased them, or met them at an OFI, or they were referred to you, in which case NONE of them were walk-ins, or called the agency you work for. _ There are positives that come out of every situation, and I believe the biggest positive that will come out of this current pandemic is that real estate agents will realise they are already working for themselves, so why not actually really work for yourself, keep more of your commission, and build YOUR BRAND... Brand U! . . . . #urbanx #realestate #realestatebrisbane #brisbanerealestate #sydneyrealestate #realestatesydney #melbournerealestate #realestatemelbourne #adelaiderealestate #perthrealestate #aucklandrealestate #realestateagents #realestatelife #realestateaus See more

01.01.2022 The property market is starting to feel a LOT like it did in 2011. The stock market has taken a battering (just like it has now), and then unemployment started to go up (like it is now), and ultimately property prices dropped. I saw falls of up to 10% >$1M, 10-20% between $1-3M, and over 20% for $3M+ properties. Whilst thats not great, the biggest impact on agents is the drop in volume. People simply stop listing their homes for sale unless they really needed to sell. Were ...already starting to see that again now. While I watched most of my competitors fall away, I did 5 things that set me up to increase by business by 5X in one year, and then sustain that growth every year after, until I eventually reached $1.2M GCI, putting me in the top 0.5% of all agents in Brisbane. I recently sat down with Real Estate Business to share those 5 tips... and here they are now! If youre in real estate, and want to know how to not only survive this downturn, but actually THRIVE, heres your step-by-step guide. https://www.realestatebusiness.com.au//19794-how-to-5x-you
