Don’t Reinvent The Wheel, But Leverage The 4 Wheels Or Models

The Economic Model (Highlights)

Whether you’re struggling to build a real estate career or focused on taking your team to the next level, step one is to understand the Economic Model laid out in pages 129-132 of the MREA.  The Economic Model is a formula that shows how your investments and performance in key areas of business work together to produce net income. Unlike other complicated methods, it makes a clear connection between your desired net income goal and the basic activities that will lead to that number. In short, it’s a simple formula for how your real estate business will make money.  It’s that simple.  Get your copy of the MREA, visit our website, leave your details, and get your free copy of the MREA in PDF in no time at all.

The Lead Generation Model (Highlights)

Outlined in the MREA, lead generation is one of the Three Ls of a successful real estate business; leads, listings, and leverage; or the 20% that will yield you 80% of your results. Yet many agents struggle with maintaining a successful lead generation strategy or start veering away from it. Keller explains how lead generation must continue to be your most important focus, no matter how successful you become.  The number of qualified leads you have will either grow your business, keep you in business, or put you out of business. Nothing else about your business will have as big an impact on it as the number of leads you have.  In order to identify how many people you will need in your database in order to achieve your goals, consider the following equations:

  1. Goal GCI ÷ Average Commission = # of Deals Needed.
  2. # of Deals Needed ÷ Opportunity for Conversion (6.37%) = Minimum # of Contacts Needed in Your Database.
  3. Minimum # of Contacts ÷ Your Conversion Rate = Expected # of Contacts Needed in Your Database

Your financial freedom begins when you stick to a budget. It may seem counterintuitive that adhering to a strict plan for spending will ultimately lead to the freedom to spend your money – and time – in ways that are most important to you, but it’s true.  The keys to budget success are to implement the MREA’s Budget Model early in your business, keep it simple, plan annually, review regularly, and stick to it.  Get your copy of the MREA, visit our website, leave your details, and get your free copy of the MREA in PDF in no time at all.
