My pal Mike Work of the The Real Estate Consultants in Los Angeles commented on my most recent real estate video blog
The email thread went as so:
Hey TO,You have typo on the landing page. I like the fresh out of bed look…Seriously, the v blog medium has a lot of sizzle.
My response was: 
I fought going natural forever and found I never did anything. So I will go with loose hair and a goat from here on out.Better to be shitty than not do anything at all.
Even still I think you will agree this is better than 90% of the stuff out there.
He came back with:
Well said, I have been the other way too much… ready aim, ready aim. Sometimes you got to “ready fire aim.”
I like this and I think you can build on it. My thoughts while I was watching it, my thoughts are always influenced by my perspective here at TREC watching this business through the eyes of many agents:
You are right about what a typical home purchase represents, and it is not an investment. I would stay away from general market predictions, words like “bottom” etc. Doesn’t matter really. The fact is prices and rates are low and if you can afford it and are prepared to stay a while now is a good time to buy. The question I always have our agents ask is why are you moving? When you understand the reason then you know the motivation.
With that, it is critical now to separate your buyers into two classifications. Homeowners and investors.Positive on real estate, when addressing the real estate community there are many positive points right now in spite of what the general trend may be. Things like: rates are low, sales are up, agent rosters are down, less competition, the rules have changed creating new opportunities, ability to touch more people using technology, great investment opportunities in distressed real estate. Beyond that, where else can you go and work a few hours a day and make 100k? Still a great place for the entrepreneur without having to own a franchise or some other business. You can create a very positive lifestyle around this industry. Every agent has there own micro market potential. Every agent has the ability to create their own results, their own outcome completely independent of any trend, nationally, regionally, or locally.
Keep up the good work.
I provide you this look into my personal communication with a friend only because I think that what he has to say is poignant. And if perfection is holding you back then you are sorely missing out on a gold mine of business.
My brother in law recently obsessed over a website for months. I finally pushed him to just finish it as bad as he thought it might be. He didn’t really think it was bad, just not perfect. With our marketing magic he is getting tons of call in leads every week. In fact, he is expanding his business based on the success. Too bad he didn’t start any sooner because he lost out on a ton of business.
