Let’s keep it real. The real estate industry this past year was quite the rollercoaster 🎢 & it’s opened many agents’ eyes. Do you stay in, do you change it up & leave the industry, or do you simply pivot & adjust your focus? The options are limitless, and this episode is SO insightful for anyone (of any industry) stuck at a crossroads!

Decision-making at a career crossroads can carry a range of emotions. Excitement, confusion, hope, dread, fear, guilt...today, we are chatting with bestie of the podcast, Kristine Axelson of Pivotal Coaching about how to pivot with grace and clarity..navigating the decision making process, identifying your values and guiding principles, and so much more. Even if you’re not at a career crossroads right at this moment, we promise it is worth the listen!

On today's episode, Alison & Christine discuss the behind the scenes of an ideal listing appointment scenario, how they prepare for an appointment, answer some frequently asked questions in some agent groups they are a part of, and share some learnings/failures they've had through the years.

NEW EPISODE JUST DROPPED! & today we’re getting into all things ‘TEAMS’

One of the biggest questions we have for ourselves as a newer (or experienced agent) is whether we should join a team or go at it as a solo agent.

In this episode we break it all down. From Alex & Christine’s personal experience on teams & Ali’s great questions having not been on one.

We get into what is a team, what questions to ask before signing on the dotted line, red flags 🚩 & green flags, things we wish we knew when we first started, and SO. MUCH. MORE.

Have more questions? Shoot us a DM & we’ll definitely get back to you OR answer on the next episode.

Enjoy!

🎉 IT’S OUR 100th EPISODE!!!!

We started Call Before Showing on January 14th, 2019 with a vision and no plan..and we certainly didn't know what it would become or the amazing friendships and relationships we would build with real estate agents from across the country. We are SO thankful to be sharing our 100th Episode with you today and so grateful you are on this real estate rollercoaster with us.

In celebration of our 100th episode, we decided to take it back to the very beginning..and share some of our favorite moments, lessons, fights, tears, and girl-bossing-too-close-to-the-sun memories. We hope you enjoy going back down memory lane a bit with us.  If you're new here, we hope it encourages you to go check out some of our previous episodes that resonate with you. There's a LOT of good in these 100 episodes, and we are so honored you choose to listen to our little podcast that could every other week.

Thank you for being on this journey with us and sharing your carrides, workouts, walks, in-between showing moments with us.

From the bottom of our hearts, we love you! 💚

Have you heard the phrase, “always be prospecting”? If you’re anything like us, we’ve tried our hand at MANY different prospecting activities over the years. Some we love…. Annnnd others not so much 🤣

Prospecting for clients is 100% something you need to be in to as busy real estate agents. If you do it in a way that doesn't feel right to you, you will be attracting all of the wrong clients. BUT the beauty of this industry is that you get to make time for things you love.

So..in today's episode, we talk all things how to find clients: what has worked well for us, what would we like to do in the future that we haven't tackled yet, and what have we done that didn't feel was right for us.

We hope you enjoy this water cooler conversation about finding clients in a way that feels light and easy.

We’re also super excited to announce our partnership with Modern Agent Social Club! Use code: callbeforeshowing for $50 off your first month!! 🚀
