We all love a little feel-good moment and it's even better when you're the one making the feel-good moment happen. On Today's Episode, Alex, Ali & Christine dive in to all of the ways you can surprise and delight clients, co-op agents, your vendors, and more!

Warning: This episode is absolutely unhinged. We got some agent friends from both of our offices and even some past guests to answer some fun questions we had ranging from "What is a change you've made in your business that has made a huge impact?" to "Tell us about a time a lockbox betrayed you?" and "What is the craziest way a deal has died?" Some great stories, sprinkled in with some shocking confessions (trigger warning for Cooper's story!), and moments in other businesses we can all learn from. 

Selling luxury real estate or interviewing to list luxury property can definitely seem a bit intimidating, so we brought in Jonathan Fox to demystify it for us.  What is different about selling luxury real estate? What is always the same? How can you 'wow' sellers of luxury real estate in your listing presentation? How can we all increase our average price points? What was his biggest and most expensive "oops" when it came to marketing himself to luxury sellers? Do we really need to know the difference between Carrara marble and granite and know all about Viking appliances?  We dive in to all of it with Jonathan today!

Confession: We recorded this episode twice. It was originally called Prospecting 101 and none of us were passionate about it. In fact, when we recorded it the first time..the three of us looked at each other from across our zoom screens and just straight up confessed..."I'm not feeling this.." So we re-grouped and revisited this topic in a way that felt right to us. Prospecting/Finding Clients is 100% something you need to be 100% in to. If you do it in a way that doesn't feel right to you, you will be attracting all of the wrong clients. 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 are delighted to announce our newest partner: Modern Agent Social Club!
