Kill the celebrity agent
We have a problem. The Real Estate industry is treating agents like celebrities and it’s hurting both the industry and the consumer.
An easy way to fix this it to go back to respecting the craft itself rather than the celebratization of it.
Think about
Real estate agents out here acting like it’s Air Force One and too good to pick up the phone and they need a full team and gatekeepers. I promise you my calendar is full but I’m more accessible than you can imagine- cause it’s my job. Be humble.
If you're curious about how I met

CMHC rolled out a similar plan during the whole market. I’m always cautious of anybody who says they are here to help with one hand in my pocket. Get equity on a bear market because they are planning for 2025-2030 run. Read the fine print people.
Don’t be shocked if in 10 years owning a home becomes ever increasingly difficult. The thing the market fails to realize is despite all of the Clickbait headlines in the biggest issue facing us is the corporatization of the asset. Companies and governments want to own your house.
Unfollowing 50 people a day on both Twitter and Instagram.
I don’t care about follower count/engagement farming.
I care about real people who want to have real conversations and build a real community together.
I realized I’m following a lot of dead accounts.
I’d rather
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it 1 million times. I’m not interested in agent count or office count. I’m interested in working with the smartest most driven and ethical people. Full stop.
Quality >quantity

🇨🇦Bruh straight disrespect to Canada!!! Poutine, butter tarts, ketchup chips, kraft dinner, maple syrup, Montreal smoked meat and bagels, more maple syrup, PEANUT butter, garlic fingers, tourtiere…….I mean I could go on but now I’m hungry. That list if fake news👨🏻🍳
@VarunSriskanda
It’s literally like anybody that owned a home got a quarter million to 1 million added to their balance sheet and they spent it like it was real money. Fun fact, it’s not your money unless you sell, and you don’t lose money unless you sell. Both are true.
@RE_MarketWatch
No the listing agents has a duty to disclose who is occupying the home and the buyers agent is also responsible for being aware. Problem is LTB is backlogged and getting them will be a grind.
To the one who makes life so much brighter.
This ray of sunshine entered my life, flipped it 180 degrees, stuffed it in a rocketship and lit the fuse.
Happy Birthday to the most incredible wife a man can ask for ❤️
People think real estate is easy and properties sell themselves
I don’t care if we’re talking residential commercial or Investment
If you think it’s expensive to hire a professional, you’ll be shocked at what an amateur will cost you.

Drive to buffalo you’ll get the MRI in a week or go private in Toronto. Sad to say but those options will be much faster. Also I would look into these guys I heard they’re legit and if you can avoid surgery I would do everything I could to try
Being a real estate agent is easy. It requires less education than becoming a hairdresser being a good real estate agent is difficult, and requires approaching the business with a long game perspective.
I’m far from perfect and I will make mistakes but I promise you there are good people in real estate in the mortgage industry who hate corruption as much as you do.
Many people work jobs they hate, to buy things they don’t want,to impress people they don’t like, who will never tell them they are enough. Strive rather to grow daily, find purpose and meaning. You are responsible for your own outcomes. No one else.
@daniel_foch
I would love to see a chart on average income pre tax vs average income post taxation on income plus taxation on purchasing. I don’t think people really realize how low their purchasing power is also a forensic analysis of where those tax dollars are going would be fantastic.
You would be SHOCKED how much having a responsive agent can make a difference on your home sale.
literally tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars difference in some cases.
If all you’re comparing is commission rate and you’re looking for the cheapest
People scared that ChatGPT is going to take away their jobs ->That’s like real estate agents scared consumers will get sold data. Genie is out of the bottle. Learn to use the tool or the tool will use you.
I would rather have 100 followers who know who I am, and would actually work with me ,
Then 50,000 bots that just comment “this is great🎯” every time I post
CBC exposes corrupt Mortgage and real estate agents. Good. There are corrupt politicians reporters mechanics and everything else you could possibly imagine as well. The best way to fight against this is shine the light on them and support the good people.
There seems to be a lot of cowboys/cowgirls who buy the hat / wear the clothes but don’t actually know how to ride a horse.
Seems to be true about Real estate agents these days.
Let’s make being great at your job cool - not just building followers.

Years ago I crated an automation that sends me a link to a Google form I call my AAR(after action report) what was it- what did I do well,what can I improve on, how did I add value- it script into a spreadsheet amazing to see over time the patterns and stories.
I want to be known less as an influencer, more as a CEO. I use content to amplify what we do in business- but when I get messages about influencer culture I want none of it. I want to be known as a practitioner.
So, we did a THING!
Proud to announce our partnership with

And this is a great example of why you understand we are in the relationship business not the sales business.
Having been in hospitality for a decade plus myself- I can tell you, some of my best deals have come in very unexpected ways from very entrepreneurial people in
If my blue check mark triggers you that’s a you problem not a me problem. I pay for YouTube premium, LinkedIn and twitter because of the features not the vanity. Acting as if it defines me as a human is ignorance at its finest. Do you boo✌️
Being able to see views on tweets has been awesome. In some instances, it helped me 10 x my growth by being part of more conversations, and less about spraying and praying.
🥋The best advice I ever got was a Black belt is just a white belt that never gave up. 🏠
At first glance, it might not seem like there's much in common between these two things. But hear me out.
Both jiu jitsu and real estate require a strong mindset and strategic thinking.
If you expect an agent to send you an off market deal but you’re not under agency understand they have a legal requirement to send it to their clients under agency first. That’s literally what it’s for.
Our industry glamorizes getting out of production.
For people not in our industry, that means you don’t actually sell property.
I’m trying to make it acceptable and cool to want to actually be really good at selling property.
Are people getting into this business to sell Real Estate or to become coaches, speakers, influencers and recruiters? Or actually sell Real Estate?
Makes me happy I’ve always leaned more into actually selling.

Sure everything is negotiable, just like your price. That said If you want to sell for the most money, you need to hire someone that can fight for it. That said if I can't negotiate my fee how on earth could you expect me to negotiate your price?
Do Real Estate trolls realize that we are still in business even if the market crashes?
FYI if the market tanks good agents are more valuable than ever.
People will buy and sell homes, open businesses and invest. Forever.
@realEstateTrent
I’m a big fan of this idea. Find people you enjoy doing life with and stack that human capital. You can create some pretty amazing communities with like-minded individuals online and in real life.
She's a keeper.
Strong, intelligent, empathic, selfless, giving and creative. I couldn't imagine a better partner in life, business and beyond. Inspired every day and grateful that God put this amazing woman in my life
Happy Valentines to my everything.
Anonymous accounts are interesting on Twitter. I’ve seen everything from some of the BEST (
@creromans
) to others that smell like angry Cheeto fingers typing on a keyboard in their moms basement. Then again same can be said for real people 😂
Someone asked me why I give away so much online. They were asking specifically if I was aware my competition was watching(because the were). My answer is simple-> By the time they figure it out I’m already gone. The person I’ll be next year will be unrecognizable.

Stock market drops 20-30% financial advisor says cycles are normal buy the dip. Same advisors look at RE and be like “don’t ever buy again!!!” fail to recognize the irony in their logic.
80% of the offers we wrote this week ended up in multiple offer situations.
For the record not all agents want bidding wars.
People things agents are the cause when I’m fact it’s a combination of market dynamics and sentiment. It is what it is-just telling you what I’m seeing.

Dude, this is so accurate. I was warning people in my content years ago when the government was printing money it’s really ask them lselves if they could afford all of the toys, landscaping and non-essentials in the middle of a pandemic.

Literally teaching people how to be fiscally, responsive, save money, compounding interest + martial arts would make a lot more sense than a lot of stuff they are teaching in schools these days.
If you think Twitter is an echo chamber, it’s because that’s how you curated your feed. I follow a variety of people from all sides of the spectrum and find a fascinating place.
You don’t become the greatest real estate agent on the planet by selling the most homes. You become the greatest real estate agent on the planet by doing the things it takes to make the sales happen.

@EstateLevy
Agents that don’t offer value will be gone. Realtors that have value beyond plugging people into an mls data feed will be around for a very long time.
A couple of years ago, I faced one of the most challenging moments in my real estate career.
It was the sale of 100-acre off-grid property that took twists and turns before finally sealing the deal.
Years ago I sold one of the most incredible properties you could imagine.

They can be a force for good and growth, or they can prevent you from seeing someone in need around you.
Focusing on growth and goals is admirable- but make sure to build a community while you do it.

@texasrunnerDFW
Free markets will dictate where demand meets supply- meet the rental demands and more inventory will come to market- if prices go down more consumers enter the market and the wheel will keep turning.
A content strategy should be started by picking one platform to commit to and posting content regularly. This could be in the form of a newsletter, for example.

It’s actually shocking to me how little competition there is if you boil it down to those who are actually willing to execute consistently for long enough to make an impact.

Had a really good chat with Andy Tse yesterday around this topic. He made a really good point- A Seller saying I want $3.5 million is different than a Seller saying I want to sell for as much as I can. List price is a marketing tool. Some people choose to over list, some choose
@Bethazor1
I wonder if he’s created systems where he doesn’t actually have to deal with these people directly. If so, then he probably looks at the problem objectively and not too concerned about character or dealing with him.
@daniel_foch
Same energy with a lot of the crypto and weed people when those were super hot. Nobody wants to be an actual craftsman at what they do they would rather be perceived as successful than actually successful.
