Learning Sprints
Our Learning Sprint videos (15 minutes or less) are hyper-focused on the skills agents need to succeed in real estate. Present a new lesson each week, or pick and choose the most relevant topic for your team.
Time management is a learned skill. This learning sprint explores seven tips that allow you to take control of your time.
In this Learning Sprint, agents will learn how to deconstruct social media marketing tasks, effectively allocate time blocks for each task, and take command of their online marketing strategy. Participants will gain practical insights on increasing productivity, improving efficiency, and establishing clear priorities.
Pop by marketing can be a lucrative lead generation source. Learn creative ways to tap into your SOI and past clients and increase your business.
Leveraging systems, processes, and checklists can help you run a successful business. During this learning sprint, we explore strategies that save you time and help you meet your clients’ needs.

Newsletter: Summer Trends in Real Estate (mail or email)
Create an electronic or print newsletter that focuses on summer trends in real estate, such as what buyers and sellers need to know about the summer market. Articles may include current trends such as types of properties in demand and average selling prices, tips for selling your home in the late-summer market, and the benefits of buying a home before the school year starts. Add photos where possible to make the newsletter visually appealing. This type of marketing has a long shelf life, and recipients may share it with their family, friends, and neighbors. Programs like Canva, Google Docs, and Adobe offer free templates.
Summer Trends Social Media Posts
Create social media posts focusing on summer real estate trends, such as what buyers and sellers need to know. Articles may include types of properties in demand and average selling prices, tips for selling your home in the late summer market, and the benefits of buying a home before the school year starts.
Virtual Neighborhood Tour on Social Media
Create engaging virtual tours of neighborhoods where you have listings or specialize. Highlight not just the homes for sale but also local amenities, schools, parks, and community events. You can conduct these tours live on social media platforms like Facebook or Instagram, allowing viewers to ask questions and interact with you in real-time. Promote these tours through targeted social media advertising and email campaigns to attract potential buyers and sellers interested in those areas. Tour videos showcase your local market knowledge and position you as a valuable resource for anyone looking to buy or sell in those neighborhoods. The best part is that a live video remains available even after the livestream has concluded. Example: Paul Wolfert, Detroit & Beyond
