Work Hard, Play Hard, and Give Back - A Real Estate Podcast

What if the key to success in real estate is continuous learning and adaptation? Join us as we welcome Deb Asher, Director of Business Development for Coldwell Banker American Homes, to share her wealth of experience and insights on the importance of education in the real estate industry. Deb delves into the Academy at American Homes, an education platform offering a wide range of sessions featuring managers, attorneys, vendors, and real estate professionals. She also discusses the role of technology and flexibility provided by pre-recorded sessions, making it easier for agents to access the information they need.
Ever wondered how a real estate professional can transition from managing an office to becoming a trainer and co-founder of a training firm? Listen as we recount the inspiring journey of a real estate professional who overcame significant challenges to co-found ProCaliber Associates. This segment highlights the importance of ongoing training and adapting communication skills to better serve clients, ultimately aiming to elevate industry standards. Learn about the "Soaring to Success" course, a comprehensive program designed to help agents refine their skills and achieve higher levels of success.
As the real estate industry evolves, so too must the practices and strategies of those within it. We explore the enduring fundamentals of effective communication and understanding client needs amidst changing technologies and practices. Special attention is given to the decoupling of commissions between buyer and seller agents, and the educational efforts required to adapt to this shift. Finally, get to know Deb's adventurous spirit, from her skydiving and flying experiences to her involvement with the Heart of American Homes Foundation, showcasing her passion for giving back to the community. This episode is brimming with valuable insights and personal anecdotes, making it a must-listen for anyone in the real estate field.
