In this episode of The Ambitious Broker, Roger Hance sits down with Nest Seekers' top brass, Shawn Elliot and Michael Rodgers, to uncover the unique business model behind their global real estate powerhouse. Shawn and Michael, both veterans of the industry with diverse backgrounds from fashion to music, share their stories of relentless work ethic and innovative strategies. They reveal how a foundation of "old school" disciplines like door-knocking and networking, combined with a forward-thinking, global approach, has allowed them to command the ultra-luxury market. The conversation explores Nest Seekers' "power of we," its tech-forward platform, and the mindset required to build a business that transcends local boundaries and reaches the world's wealthiest clients. This episode is a masterclass in treating real estate as a high-stakes business and leveraging every opportunity to its fullest.KEY TAKEAWAYSThe Unbeatable Power of Consistency: The single common denominator for success is simple: don't stop. Keith emphasizes that he's never seen an agent fail who just kept doing the work, highlighting that discipline beats talent over the long haul. Become the Mayor of Your Market: Dominate a hyperlocal area through farming. By being physically present and building relationships door-to-door, you create a competitive advantage that technology and impersonal marketing can't touch.Model, Don't Reinvent: For new or struggling agents, the path is clear: find a successful agent, ask them what they do, and replicate their system for a year without deviation before adding your own flair.Success is a Team Sport: The environment you're in matters. Surrounding yourself with other motivated, successful agents in a collaborative office culture creates a powerful upward spiral of accountability and encouragement. The Golden Rule of Income: Your income is directly proportional to the number of people who know you, like you, and trust you. Every prospecting activity should be focused on growing this relational foundation. Technology is a Tool, Not a Crutch: Use CRMs to nurture long-term relationships and AI to increase efficiency (like writing property descriptions). But never let technology replace the human connection at the heart of the business. Master Your Presentation: Practice your listing and buyer presentations until they are second nature. This isn't about being "canned," it's about being so confident and comfortable that you can win any appointment. Prospect for Listings, Buyers are a Byproduct: While you need to work with both, focusing your primary energy on prospecting for sellers is the most effective way to build a sustainable and scalable real estate business.QUOTES"Anybody watching this that you're struggling... pick someone else who is, ask 'em what they're doing and do that." "I just never seen one fail... who if they just kept doing it, made it.""The common denominator was don't stop." "My real estate rule number one, your income's directly proportionate to how many people know you, like you, trust you." "AI won't replace us. An agent using AI will replace one that's not." "Real estate sales never go to zero. There's always gonna be someone that needs to sell in every market.""If you gotta plan B, take it."Check out Michael Rodgers and their work through the link below:https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaeljrodgers/Check out Shawn Elliot and their work through the link below:https://www.linkedin.com/in/shawn-elliott-re/Get to know more about the Ambitious Broker at https://RogerHance.com.You can also connect with our host and mentor, Roger, with the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/roger-hance/Call: (818) 718 - 3020Email: [email protected]: https://escrowtech.net/Please like, comment, and subscribe!Don't miss out on the valuable insights and expertise shared by our guest/s in this episode of Ambitious Broker!

In fact, everyone just acknowledges you're too high, and you don't. You get some showings. The silence is deafening.”“We thought [interest rate changes] was going to be maybe the kiss of death of this market. And yet it wasn’t. It was a period of about six to nine months of this really shock and adjustment. And after that, it just seems like these buyers realize 3 percent is gone...marry the house, date the rate.”“Flying one detail can kill you, buying houses a detail can cost you a lot of money.”“It takes me longer to do things because I want to make sure I've tried to…hurry up, do it faster, and then I tend to make more mistakes that way.

In this episode of Ambitious Broker, Roger Hance sits down with Bernie Gallerani, a powerhouse real estate broker from Nashville, Tennessee. Bernie shares his incredible journey, starting from a childhood in HUD housing to building a real estate empire that closes over 700 transactions a year. He details his early days in the business, crediting the Mike Ferry coaching system for providing a blueprint for success that allowed him to close 40 transactions in his very first year in a new city where he knew no one. Bernie discusses the evolution from a solo agent to leading a team of over 45 people, emphasizing the critical role of systems, accountability, and lead generation. He offers a transparent look into his lead audit process, his philosophy on coaching, and how overcoming his own personal history fueled his relentless drive. Listeners will learn the importance of mindset, the power of a solid follow-up system, and what it truly takes to scale a real estate business to the highest level.KEY TAKEAWAYSCoaching is Foundational: Bernie started with a coach before he even sold his first house, attributing his rapid success to having a proven path to follow from day one.Systems Over Everything: He stresses that people are flawed, but systems are not. His success in converting leads at a high level comes from robust, automated systems that ensure consistent follow-up.Accountability Drives Results: Through weekly "lead audits," every agent is held accountable for the leads they receive, ensuring a return on the company's investment and maximizing every opportunity.Your Past Can Be Your Fuel: Bernie shares how his motivation to escape poverty and provide for his family created an unstoppable work ethic and a desire to prove he was worthy of success.Know Your Numbers: From conversion rates to cost-per-lead and profitability by zip code, Bernie demonstrates that a deep understanding of your business metrics is essential for scaling effectively.Master the Hunt: He began his career by actively "hunting" for business with expireds and FSBOs, learning the skills of communication and persuasion that built the foundation of his empire.Embrace Being Uncomfortable: True growth happens at the edge of your comfort zone. Bernie constantly pushes himself and his team to take on new challenges and avoid complacency.The Biggest Battle is You: He believes the hardest part of real estate isn't the market or the leads; it's fighting the limiting beliefs and conditional thinking within your own mind.QUOTES"I really wasn't for the coaching. I don't think I would've ever did anywhere near what I had done.""I finally realized that the days of poverty were over. From there. I never looked back.""What isn't flawed is a system. And a system doesn't break, but people do.""The problem is not the people. 'cause the people are flawed. The problem is you don't have a system to support the investment and the accountability.""You have to be humble enough to say, this way of thinking isn't going to get me my ultimate result.""I've never made it. I'm never gonna make it. I'm gonna die figuring it out.""You are not fighting the real estate business. You are fighting you.""Why are we so stuck in who we have been versus who we can be."Check out Bernie Gallerani and their work through the link below:https://www.linkedin.com/in/bernie-gallerani-08733b6/Get to know more about the Ambitious Broker at https://RogerHance.com.You can also connect with our host and mentor, Roger, with the links below:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/roger-hance/Call: (818) 718 - 3020Email: [email protected]: https://escrowtech.net/Please like, comment, and subscribe! Don't miss out on the valuable insights and expertise shared by our guest/s in this episode of Ambitious Broker!

In this episode of The Ambitious Broker, Roger Hance welcomes international speaker and coach Darryl Davis. Known for his "Power Agent" program, Darryl shares his incredible journey from an emancipated minor at 16 to a real estate powerhouse and best-selling author. He dives deep into the philosophy from his book, "How to Design a Life Worth Smiling About," revealing the science behind how a simple smile can make you more successful, live longer, and earn more money. Darryl challenges agents to shift their perspective from being a "salesperson" to a "business person" and a consultant who serves, not sells. He provides actionable strategies for generating "now business," overcoming the fear of prospecting, and the secret to successfully connecting with For Sale By Owners. This episode is packed with mindset shifts and practical advice to help any agent build a more joyful and profitable career.KEY TAKEAWAYSThink Like a Business Owner: Stop seeing yourself as a salesperson. Darryl urges agents to adopt the mindset of an entrepreneur, taking full responsibility for marketing, finances, and growth, just like any other business owner.The Power of a Smile: Backed by scientific studies, smiling is a powerful tool that generates feel-good chemicals, reduces defensiveness, and leads to greater success in business and life.Serve, Don't Sell; Coach, Don't Close: Shift your role from a high-pressure closer to a trusted consultant. Your job is to educate and coach clients on their options, empowering them to make the best decision as the "boss."Confront Your Fears for Breakthrough Growth: The tasks you are most afraid of (like calling FSBOs) are the ones you must do. The goal isn't just the result, but the personal breakthrough that comes from overcoming fear.The Goal is the Relationship, Not the Appointment: When prospecting, focus on building a genuine human connection. This takes the pressure off "getting the appointment" and leads to more successful, trust-based conversations.Find Your Prospecting Voice: You don't have to do what every other agent is doing. Find the five sources of business ("spokes in a wheel") that you enjoy, and you will do them consistently and effectively.Technology is a Tool, Not a Replacement: While tools like CRMs and AI are necessary, real estate is and always will be a people-first business. Don't let tech replace genuine connection.Be Wary of Industry "Vampires": Darryl shares his strong perspective on Zillow, explaining why he views them as a competitor committed only to its shareholders and a "vampire" that the industry invited into its house.QUOTES"Stop looking at themselves as salespeople and look at themselves as business people.""We are closer to doctors and lawyers than we are salespeople, because we have fiduciary, we have a license. We're government managed by the state.""The listing happens in the listening, not in the speaking.""If there is something in real estate you're afraid to do, you need to do it not for the result, but for you to break through the fear process.""Do not be committed to getting the appointment. Be committed to building a relationship with another human being.""Power agents don't close people. They coach people and they don't sell people. They serve people.""Zillow's like a vampire. The moment you invite that vampire into your house, you're no longer safe."Check out Darryl Davis and their work through the link below:https://www.darrylspeaks.com/Get to know more about the Ambitious Broker at https://RogerHance.com.You can also connect with our host and mentor, Roger, with the links below:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/roger-hance/Call: (818) 718 - 3020Email: [email protected]: https://escrowtech.net/Please like, comment, and subscribe!Don't miss out on the valuable insights and expertise shared by our guest/s in this episode of Ambitious Broker!

It feels like positions are just handed down to friends rather than earned.""There's no business you can get into for less money and make a really good living.""Would you hire yourself based on your level of work? You are your own boss.""To succeed, you need to treat it like a real job—be in the office or out on the street by 9 AM and put in a full day.""I want to be around successful people.
