The Tom Ferry Podcast Experience

Google is the ultimate tool that every real estate agent MUST be using if they want to be the top in their area. The only problem is all the best agents are already using it wisely and not everyone can rank at the top. So, if you want to compete with the best, it’s going to take some advanced Google Business Profile optimizations to get you there. When I say advanced, I’m talking about the kinds of things that other agents aren’t doing – or even thinking of – that are going to make Google choose to share your profile over others. That’s why on this episode of This Week in Marketing, Jason Pantana shares four expert level Google Business Profile optimizations to make you the coveted “Best real estate agent near me.” You’ll learn about how to write descriptions, get yourself all over Google Maps, and special adjustments to make your images found across the web.   Watch or listen now, and keep in mind that these are just a handful of many more advanced Google Business Profile optimizations out there. If you’re looking to really get serious about competing at an expert level and attracting more buyers and sellers through Google, Jason has a full course, MarketingPRO: Google Business Boss, dedicated to just that. He’ll walk you step-by-step though all the most advanced, never-before-shared techniques of elevating your online status.

What does it take to be the real estate thought leader in your area? You need to help dispel misinformation, ease fear, and highlight the opportunities happening now in the market.

Where do results come from? Do they come from your environment? Your situation? Are they something that just happens to you?

As an agent, the most important thing that you can learn right now is how to get more listings. Everything else comes second.   Then the question is, how do you learn that?   The answer: you learn from the best agents in the business, those agents who are listing hundreds of homes every year. On this episode of the Tom Ferry Podcast Experience, I’m talking with powerhouse team leaders Jill Biggs (600 listings a year) and Jamie McMartin (500 listings this year) about their top strategies for attracting sellers which work over and over again.   These are strategies who work for anyone, whether you’re running a team or working as a solo agent.   If you’re a new agent or even a pro who is looking to reignite your fire, these two Rockstars are going to show you how to get more listings like the best in the business do.   You may want to watch or listen to this one a few times!
