The Agent Podcast

Meet Mark Ritter. A credit union based lender with an amazing insight into real estate investor solutions. Here's a snapshot of our conversation: So, you know, one of the differences in that we see out there, I, I'm going to kind of lift up the covers of the financial institutions today. Nobody. Even credit unions, but particularly banks, nobody ever says, we're not lending today, but there's a lot of lenders behind the scenes who are saying, we're not lending today.  And what they do is they raise the interest rates or tighten the box to make it so they're not lending. And that really comes down to one thing and it, and it's not demand for loans. It's liquidity concerns. You know, and some people put a cover on it like, oh, we're concerned about the marketplace, we're concerned about this.  No, they, they're concerned about their own liquidity.   Listen in and learn friends. A credit union may actually be the local solution you need. Connect with Mark: CONNECT Mark's website: WEB

Meet Alex Young. What if you had $6 in your bank account? What if you were donating plasma to put gas in your car? What if you could not provide for those you love? Alex was to a point where he had two choices. He had to leave his real estate career that his wife had supported him through for the first year and a half with encouragement, love and faith and go back to a nine to five job, which wasn't off the table OR double down on knowing that he could do better and use being backed into that corner. He chose his power and jumped in. Listen in to an inspiring story of rebound, courage and taking ownership of business, self and your environment. Thanks, Alex. For an incredible conversation.

Meet Kaleb Monroe. From Cutco to Custom Homes, Kaleb has been tearing up the real estate scene in Houston, Texas. Kaleb and I dive into: Creating your real estate business Lead Generation Serving your clients Building a team The power of just STARTING This episode is PACKED with awesomeness. Kaleb's logo is a buffalo. Here's why: The essence of it is that if a herd of cows sees a storm coming, they typically tuck and run the opposite direction. If an ostrich sees a storm coming, it'll probably dig its head into the dirt and then completely ignore the storm even being there. But they'll still get rained on. And if a buffalo sees a storm coming, or herd of buffalo sees a storm coming, they'll typically turn toward the storm and then run directly to it simply because they feel like this is the fastest way that they'll be able to get through that. Listen in friends. Kaleb, thank YOU for an incredible conversation man! Meet Kaleb: Go here

Meet Katelyn Ciaramitaro.  Moving from the travel business into real estate was a natural move for Katelyn. While there are a lot of similarities, it wasn’t a planned move. COVID caused many of us to make moves, to pivot and adapt ourselves to do what we have to do to provide for our families. When starting something new, it’s easy to compare where you are and what you’re doing to others who may be seasoned professionals. While Katelyn had a fantastic partner and mentor in her new real estate business, the struggle was still there as she figured out this real estate thing. Listen in and learn how to stop comparing yourself to others, leverage what you have around you and create your own path to success. Thank you, Katelyn, for a fantastic conversation.

Meet Jordan Tarver. AUthor. Content Creator. Impact Maker. Jordan has spent several years of tireless creative self-growth, and has done so much work to discover who he is at his core. That was the inspiration of wanting to create something of impact because he felt like he had lessons to share. The second part is to help the people that are kind of on that same journey looking for guidance. And so it's like twofold that it exists because he did the work, but it also exists because he has an innate desire and intention to help other people. Jordan is an incredible author, kind human being and I have found so much value in what he has to share. I hope you do to.

Meet Tonya Eberhart and Michael Carr. Tonya is a brand EXPERT that truly understands how brands are built and perceived. Michael is a real estate broker, brokerage owner, auctioneer with tens of thousands of homes sold under him. These two power houses are changing the way realtors approach business. When you start marketing yourself, you are just out there. Hey, do you know anybody who wants to buy or sell a home? If so, I'm in real estate. Well, that won't get you anywhere. WHY? There are 2 million others out there doing that same thing. So you've really gotta set yourself apart and think about it this. When you start to market yourself, how on earth do you even know what to put into your marketing? Unless, first of all, you know who it is you're trying to attract with that marketing. And second of all, you know what it is you need to say or show in order to attract that person. If you don't know that, then you have no business marketing because all you're going to do is you're gonna spend the next 10 years outspending your competition. Listen in to an awesome conversation and I promise you have a lot to learn in this episode. Thank you, Tonya and Michael for an awesome conversation!
