How To Get More Referrals From Past Clients w/ Shannon Milligan

Explicit content warning

09/15/22 • 61 min

What percentage of your business comes from referrals? Are your referrals mostly agent to agent, or are they client to agent? Do they come from social media, or word of mouth? When establishing your credibility in the industry, you should ask yourself these questions. Getting referrals from past clients sounds tough on paper, but it's easier than you think (if you put the extra mile in). If you're not putting the extra mile in, take some notes.
On this week's episode of the Massive Agent Podcast, Realtor and founder of the RVA home team, Shannon Milligan, joins host Dustin Brohm to explain how 95% of the business she receives is from referrals. Shannon has prioritized using Facebook over other social media platforms to make it more interesting. Combining that with highly authentic posts, her sphere is genuinely interested in what she has to say. While it didn't come overnight, she stuck to her roots, thus creating a sense of comfort for her audience.
Listen to the conversation as Shannon details the small but meaningful touches she makes with her clients. From writing handwritten letters after inspections, to ordering pizza on moving day, Shannon has it down to a science, and her referral percentages show. Lastly, Shannon notes that no transaction is ever completely smooth, even for her! However, having that wiggle room from prior thoughtfulness often suffices for slight discrepancies. Stop fabricating things, and be an authentic and thoughtful agent.

The Path to a Billion $ Real Estate Team w/ Dan Lesniak

Send us a text

Is it better to roll as a solo real estate agent or, work on building a team of agents? That's the question many new agents are asking themselves. Ideally, you'd want to build a team, but it's easier said than done. Most agents can't go out and make 3 hires off the bat; they just don't have the funding or time of day (unless they have the capital). However, once at the threshold, the first hires agents should make to their team is administrative help.
On this week's episode of the Massive Agent Podcast, Dan Lesniak, Founder of Hyper Fast Agent and experienced real estate mogul joins host Dustin Brohm to discuss the importance of knowing how and when to build a sales team. Dan notes that the biggest mistake made by Realtors is focusing solely on selling homes rather than growth and expansion. The reality is, that agents should be hiring and expanding at every opportunity they get.
Listen to the conversation as Dan dives into his experience of building a 7-figure team in just over a decade. He attributes his success to prioritizing his work and using his home selling platform to broaden his horizons. With that, he has been able to move into real estate development, investment, and Airbnb rental. A lot of agents start with unrealistic expectations for growth - Don't. Cheat. Yourself. Hire when you are ready to be responsible for others.
