He's literally 4x this business since getting on this whole content marketing digital marketing plan. And so this is my second conversation with Neil. We sat down in Vegas recently just had side by side on the table at a pretty candid chill laid back chat about marketing strategies, modern marketing tips, that work, a couple of stories that I think you'll find relevant in there that you can take a couple of these ideas and apply them to your business or share them with your agents, your referral partners. So I hope you enjoyed this episode without further ado. Let's get into this week's show. Hey guys, welcome back to the Neil home podcast today. I'm with Jeff again. We did a episode together back in when was it October, somewhere in the fall before all this COVID stuff. So it feels like a lifetime ago. And that episode, although it wasn't like a huge audience, very narrow audience for specifically for mortgage originators, got the most feedback and I got the most comments about, hey, that really helped me or hey, I like those ideas. So I wanted to bring Jeff back on and get together because I know we got some good value out of the last one. So right now, just getting straight into it, like we're in the environment, 2% interest rates, lowest rates ever, mortgages and homes are like literally selling themselves because of the current environment. The market we're in is on fire because money is basically free, it's cheap. Every client you've ever done alone for is potentially eligible to refinance. Anybody you talk to, once you tell them potentially what their payment would be, is in the market to buy. As long as there are part of this 89% who is still employed and still has the ability to purchase a home. So like in that environment, are you hearing, like are you seeing this, what I'm seeing is like people are not marketing themselves anymore. They're kind of heads down and they're not marketing, they're just on the top of the mountain pounding the chest. I'm having a record month, I think like all this easy sales is going to people's heads and they're kind of taking their eye off the marketing. Yeah, there's a variety of things happening. It's kind of like this swirl of the vortex that they're caught in, right? Because of everything you said, historically low rates, pent up demand that happened while COVID was going on. We've got the millennials, which is this big, you know, the largest segment of home buyers in history and they've aged out over the last few years so that more and more are coming into the market with the capability to buy and that's kind of the misperception. I'm glad you brought up the unemployment thing because the reality, while we do have like the significant job loss claims that happened because of COVID, the reality is nobody talks about the flip side of that where we have like 180 million people employed, you know what I mean? And the people who lost their jobs, you know, you know, all props to them and like I feel for them, but most of those jobs were in the, what they call the renter segment, you know, which is the hospitality, bars, restaurants, all the places we can't go, right? And yeah, like the same thing is like, we don't want to just minish any of those people struggle because that sucks. Yeah, like you own a bar, you own a fitness gym and you didn't make it through that sucks and I feel terrible for that. But the thing is majority of the people in the hospitality and that industry that are most affected by this weren't in the market to buy anyways, so it really hasn't affected the mortgage industry yet. No, no. And that's why we're seeing the housing market do so well is because of all those factors. So back to the way you opened that up, the question about how do I see loan officers responding or reacting to that? Yeah. You see the posts say greatest month ever, all that kind of stuff. And I think like I was on a call earlier this morning and I was asking people, what's your balance of refive versus purchase and everybody's refive heavy, right? Which I understand I get it's the market of the moment, we have to take advantage of that, but also some of them admitted that they were letting their realtor relationships kind of fade away, you know, referral partners or other sources of business, which of course is always like a red flag, you know, that always for me is a cause of warning because it's the historical thing, you know, we've heard it, if you've been in this business long enough, you leave your realtor relationship, your spouse, right, your friends, if you don't water the garden, I mean, imagine you left your, I say, you know what, it's really attractive over here. I'm going to go over here for a couple of months, you'll still be here, right? No, it's not going to go well because somebody else is going to come knocking on the door and be like, hey, you know what, I'll give you attention. So I think that's just kind of a reminder that people are aware of, they like consciously are like, oh, I know I should pay attention to my referral relationships, but are you doing it? And I know it's hard, I know it's hard because we're all overwhelmed with capacity. So I would just say that, look, we know this isn't going to last forever and so make sure you're doing whatever you can to invest in those relationships. Big time, yeah, that's a really good point because here's what happens, it happened in 2016, and I remember it and it's happened before that as well many times where you have a heavy pipeline of refinances, the market trains you to be complacent. So it's giving you gifts after a gift, after a gift, pretty soon you think you're the best L.O. in the world because you're having this record month, record income. You kind of lay back on the marketing, you lay back on taking care of your past clients, your relationships, the referral partners, builders, all that stuff. So what happens is like something will happen, the kind of those starts to improve, it's happening slowly, the Fed will come out and say something like, okay, we're going to think about easing up on the purchase of mortgage bonds. Just the sentence of that is going to come out somewhere and it's going to trigger something, they called it last time the taper tantrum. And I remember it was like May and we had probably hundreds of refives in the pipeline. We were like, you know, high five in every month, record month, record month. And it felt like overnight, it was probably over a week, but it happened where rates shot up, probably a full percent in a few days. And all those deals were dead now, okay? So whatever was locked is obviously going to close, but next month, you know, you're not going to have that business. And so I think, yes, take advantage of the opportunity, help your past clients first. So right now we're not doing any marketing to new clients, but I'm doing is like I'm trying to take care of my clients first because I know literally everybody in the market is eligible to refi. And there's huge lines of people waiting, you know? So they're all trying to, I look at it like the industry wasn't made for this. So I look at like as concert, right? We go to concert, you like the food fighters, right? So there's 10,000 people at that concert, whatever. There's like 20 porta-potties, right? Just think like what if, yeah, like what if every single person had to take a leak at the same time? Like you can't complain that how are you guys not ready for this or why is turn times taken long? Nobody anticipated being ready for all of these people to come in at once. So like we're dealing with the best we can. There's everyone's trying to hire and stuff. So it's kind of hard to keep up with it, but I would just say like take care of your best people first. Like you know, make sure your team, make sure you're not like neglecting people because this will end and then you'll be left with, you know, your best people. Absolutely. Got to invest in your people, your team. I know I'm seeing where L.O.A.s are working 12 hours a day, weekends, they haven't had a vacation in months, and now we're in vacation season, right? And so what are you going to do? How are you going to adjust? And so one of the things that it's funny when I'm coaching L.O.s is, you know, that's one of the first errors that we look at is how often do you talk to your L.O.A. And the most, like the biggest response I hear is like, oh, I talk to them every day. I'm like a scheduled call or random one off call and they're like, oh, I just pick up the phone. I'm like, really? How efficient is that? You know what I mean? So one of the things I try and like guide people to do is have a structured schedule call, you know, X amount of times per week. Most people don't do it enough. Mostly it's random, you know, one off emails and it's chaotic for the amount of volume we have. You know, you've got to get in front of those little issues early and delayed whatever. So that's like in terms of like the stress that I know L.O.A.s are feeling. More structure in your day, more scheduling of those high priority conversations with your team because that's going to make his or her life a lot simpler, but yours too, you know? Big time. Yeah. And you know, like with the realtor marketing you talked about where we're kind of neglecting or not really investing in those relationships anymore because you're so busy. The problem is other people who do, the few that do, are going to take those relationships or they're vulnerable. Your relationship is vulnerable and what I'm finding right now is anytime I do something that would be helpful to real estate partners right now, it's crushing because no one is doing it right now. So if you call the agents out right now and they're like, you know, like they're surprised to hear from you because nobody's doing that marketing. When rates go up, all of a sudden they're getting blasted. There's all the funny memes about like, you know, the L.O.A.s who wants to take you to coffee. Oh, yeah. All of a sudden, yeah. I guess it's shown up. We've all seen those memes before. Don't be that person. Exactly. So like now, if you do something valuable, it's going to work even more than when the market normalizes because simply nobody's doing it because they're all busy with the business. Yeah. So let's get tactical because people like tactics, right? You got any suggestions on how people can still stay in touch or stay top of mind without it having to take too much time? Yeah. So I'll give you a really good piece of advice that worked for me just now and anybody could do this, right? So what is the one question that customers are asking a lot of their real estate partner and of lenders? It's how is COVID going to affect the real estate market in my community? How is real estate going to crash? Because last time we're in a recession right now, last time we were in a recession, real estate prices collapsed, right? So that question is top of mind for many consumers and real estate agents are getting that question. A lot of people are on the fence whether to do this. So why not create a piece of content that talks about how today's market compares to the 2008 market? And when you go through those data points, you'll find that this recession is not related to how the facts of the real estate market are such that you cannot reasonably say that housing is going to crash because of the inventory, because of rates, because of all this stuff, right? So now if you go through those facts and I have a video on my YouTube channel, I would tell people like, look at my video and just duplicate it. You can just steal it. I don't care. Because it's going to have an audience wherever you do this, right? I've already posted it and it did well. So create that piece of content and send it to all of the agents and all of your past clients and you'll find that so many people will thank you for that information. And then now, if you want to follow up with those agents afterwards and the ones that respond to that or watch the video, you'll be able to connect with them and talk to them about business and things like that and they can share that information with their clients. So think of like how you could help the realtor sell or explain things to their client. Create like I was almost creating the content as if I'm the real estate agent to help the agent because now the agent can be like, Hey, when a client asks me, is the market going to crash? They can give them a fact-based answer rather than just emotional sales-y type stuff. So there's so much in there in terms of opportunity and what a great idea of ways to leverage that, not only just saving time, but think about like the ripple effects of a video where it's you, the loan officer, saying, here's why this is not 2008, right? And then you give some facts and data about why, et cetera, et cetera. And think about everything you just said there. Number one, that's a great video for you, your clients, your prospects on your social media. Two is you contact your realtor's. It's like, Hey, do you have anybody who's like on the fence or wondering, like, should I buy or not right now? I got a video, like you said, let me send it to you. You can read or use it, whatever, or like, you already have a relationship with the realtor and they want to send you referrals. Hey, tell you what, why don't you have them watch that video first, send them that value, or you can send it to them after they talk to you, whatever. The point is, it's this great idea, execution is the key, right? How many are like doing that? Well, you can do it with your phone. You can do it with the camera. We did it just in the office one day. I think it took us, me and Eric did it. I think it took me five minutes to shoot it. Sorry, the video is seven minutes. So it probably took me two takes. So it's like 15, 20 minutes to shoot it. And then Eric took probably a few hours to edit it and put it together. But you don't have to do it with all these graphics and things. You could probably do it with your phone. Yeah. So what we do is, afterwards, we email that out to all the, I have a database and I just email it out. If you don't have an email platform, I would just go to MailChimp and send it out through there. And if you don't have all the real estate partners emails, you can get this from the local association of realtors, everybody who you've ever dealt with, you can just put together that list, even if it's not robust at first, just send it out. And in that email, just say, hey, I know you guys are getting this question from your clients. So what I've done is I put together the facts on how the market compares. And what we're finding is that housing is poised to do really well in this recession as compared to other ones. Not all recessions are created equal, check this out. And I got amazing feedback from that. And then what happens? So after you send that video out, now you've just elevated yourself. Because right now, loan officers, the content that you get in the email from loan officers is the canned corporate spam. Same as lame. Yeah. And this video is like, stands out completely, right? Because it's you educating people. So now, as soon as your stock just went up with everybody who watches that. And then you can turn that into business. What happened for me was, a lot of people watched it, maybe a thousand people or so. And then from that, I started to get more referrals, right? Was that the people who watched a thousand, was that on YouTube, or is that a multiple? Yeah. So what I do is I use YouTube to house the video. So I put a post on YouTube. And then in the email, I put the thumbnail with the play button on it. And that thumbnail is hyperlinked to the video on YouTube. Got it. But that's where your thousand views, most of them are on YouTube. Yeah, they're on YouTube. I did post on Facebook and Instagram just in case. And maybe a couple of hundred views on each of those platforms. But like the point of all this is like, you don't need to go viral. You don't need to be like influencer style. You don't need a huge audience. You just need a few hundred people to watch it video. And that's going to generate business for sure. Like I think the metrics people have are all wrong. What do you mean? Like they just think they need a huge audience. You need a bunch of followers. You need a big, like if you just send it out to the people who you've already done. Everybody has a database. I mean, even your past clients should see that because they know people that want to buy or revive, you know? So yeah, that's the name of the game now. It's just awareness becoming known and then just, you know, serving, like show up with value. And L.O.'s get so much in the business of doing, working in, is the one to make sure I say this, working in the business instead of working on the business. You know, like the crafters, they're craftsmen or craftswomen. I love crafting alone and structuring alone and all that. Oh, that's cool. But you also need to, you know, reach out to other people. Some people do a great job of it. Some don't. But let's just say you're that guy who's excellent at structuring deals, right? You don't necessarily like networking and talking to people. That was me. That's me to the, to the tee because I'm like, I could come up with a solution. I'm great with the files. Yeah. And then so what I found was the problem with that is the only people who know that I'm good at that are my past clients and these few referral partners and nobody else. So why not just talk about those situations? And it could be as simple as talking head to the phone. I'm like, you know what? This client came to me. They've been denied by two places. I figured out a way to restructure it this way. And you know what? It just shows you like working with the right person matters because now these people are going to be in a house. You know what I mean? Like something like that. What does that take me 10 seconds to say or 15 seconds and that video will lead to business. But like nobody shoots it. Yeah. You know, so many people talk about branding and everything like that, but your reputation is part of your brand. Like are you known for the person who gets stuff done? Yeah. Like how many LOs do you know? I know this from interviewing LOs when I talk to them and they're like, well, people, the realtor's know that what I say is gold. Yeah. And if you get a reputation strong enough like that, like they trust your word, man, you never have to worry about business again. Yeah, but imagine doing that and then having not just those 10 people know that's gold, but every agent in your market know that you're gold. What happens then? Now you can't handle it. You know, then you got to hire people to help you. But that's like scaling, like you just said, it's your reputation and I think everybody thinks too small. We need to scale the reputation. Well, that's funny. I mean, I deal with this with agents all the time when I teach them classes. You know, one of the questions I ask them is what's more important? Getting great results for your clients or being well known, right? And then the debates begin. And of course, both are important, but here's the truth, right? It's like you said earlier, if you can be great at your job, but if nobody knows it, if you're the best kept secret, then what does it matter? So yes, you have to be able to perform and deliver, right, and produce results. But we're in a business that requires us to be known. We have to be known. And whatever channel or whatever means you have for being known, Facebook ads or referrals or whatever it is, you still have to be known. Yeah. And just not to leave the real estate agents out because I know in my podcast a lot of people watch and listen to our real estate partners, our real estate business people. So like, what advice, yeah, what advice are you giving to realtors? Because they kind of got the short end of the stake because when everything got shut down, we got busy with loans and refines and things like that. And then that kind of kept us going as things started to open back up. But the realtors, some of them took it pretty rough because they couldn't do open houses. They couldn't even show property in certain states. Now things are starting to get back out there. So what should they be doing in this environment to kind of build their brand? Well, yeah. So I have a passion for realtors. I'm going to work with them for like 2003, right? And I teach a lot of classes to realtors. And so I think the answer, I don't want to sound insensitive, but the answer once again comes back to like the old adage, it's like survival of the fittest. No, it's survival of the most adaptable to change. Those are the ones who actually survive. These great catastrophes in nature throughout the so-so Darwin, that whole quote. His actual quote was, the most adaptable to change are the survivors of make the fittest. So how does that relate to real estate? Well, when stuff changes and how fast do you adapt? How fast do you pivot? So you couldn't do the in-person open houses. I saw a lot of agents quickly learn how to do virtual tours, virtual open houses and things like that. Because when COVID hit, here's what COVID did. It accelerated all the stuff we've been telling ourselves we should do. I should get on video. I should get on social media. I should. I should. I should, right? And you should all over yourself, right? But the point is, it's like, if not now, like when COVID happened and all you had was your phone to communicate, if you didn't pivot and use that, that's on you, because that's all you had. If you want a stranded desert island, you need food shipped to you or something. Are you? No, the video's not for me, man. You know what I mean? Do you want to eat? Do you want to survive? Pivot and use the tools. Yeah. I mean, I think of this as like, this COVID thing just accelerated the digitization, I guess is how you would say it. Digital real estate should. Yeah. So what happens is like, it would have already been underway, slowly going and it's moving at a snail's pace because it's such a traditional, you know, face-to-face, belly-to-belly industry. So now what happened was once you took that out and you had to do this, it accelerated it and I know for a fact because the traffic to Redfin, Zillow, realtor.com has doubled from, you know, April, May, June, year over year versus the prior year. Just the traffic alone to the websites is 50 to 100% higher than it was last year. And that's a straight data point that anybody can pull up on these company's earnings calls. So if that's the case and all these people are looking for information and stuff online, like, you know, why they would also be probably even more apt to get it from a local person on the ground in their market rather than from this national company. But the problem is these local guys aren't putting out any information and I think what they think is, I think they believe that this information is boring. But here's the thing, like news is huge right now. People love watching stats on coronavirus, they love watching the market. So if I'm watching the stock market because I want to know what's going on with the economy, like, do I necessarily need to be a day trader to watch that? No. I just want to know because I have a 401k because I'm curious. So like with your house, you don't necessarily need to be in the market to be interested on what's going on with the market. So I think so many people shy away from like these market reports because they're kind of stale and boring. But there's a way to do it in a more present, you know, relevant way and that's a great piece of content that every realtor should do that I've seen probably, you know, as far as like how COVID-19 is affected the real estate market, I've seen just a few in my market, maybe two agents, three agents have done it, nobody's done it. Why, you know, so I don't know what the deal is, but they're not putting it out there. Yeah. And the experience is very, that's the one thing about real estate. It's very local, right? Because when I was doing those classes, I remember there was one week or I think I did 10 in a week and the class was like, your next 90 days, how to pivot your business for after COVID-19? And I was dealing with people all over the different New York to wherever, all over the country. And as you know, people had different shelter and place requirements. So some people were still able to like succeed differently than others. But the point is it's, it's, it's changed. I think consumer expectations have been, have changed. You know, we don't know what'll happen five years from now, just like post 9, 11 people got back on planes. Obviously people are going to go back and want a social, that's the one thing that's very clear is that we crave that face-to-face human connection, like the Zoom thing and all that. That's good. But it's, it's not the same, you know what I mean? And as far as like, like you just brought it up with the virtual tours, these things like online, I would tell real estate agents this, like if you're in your market, you know, you probably have a variety of listings, you have, you know, entry-level homes, mid-level and then you have some high-end luxury homes. If you are lucky enough to have a luxury listing now or in the, in the near future, I would use that as a golden opportunity to create a really cool piece of content. And I would kind of use this, not necessarily sell that house, even though you might get lucky and it might sell the house. But I would use that to create a really cool video. If, if somebody has questions about like what type of this, I have probably several examples, like leave a comment or send me a message and I'll send you a link to an example. But basically what it is is like, there's a few agents who I saw do this in the market and they crushed and they made the house famous. So it's like, their tagline was like, I'm going to make this house famous and they read a really cool, fast, interactive video in the house showcasing it. And then afterwards, the leverage that they got from that video was crazy because then when a client reaches out, they're like, dude, you're the guy from that cool video. And so like I think people don't realize what's the point in spending this time, you know, money on one video, it's not that you got to squeeze it. And that video is going to lead to business, you know, months and months down the road. So you'll be the guy that makes homes famous, you know, like I have a cool marketing plan that nobody in my market does. Here's what I do when I get a luxury listing or a high-end listing. And it also elevates your brand because they're seeing you with this beautiful product, you know, like it's just cool. And for the right property that makes a lot of sense, it makes me think of a video I was watching earlier about an agent in Orange County, California, Tim Smith. He's a huge agent with a cul-de-banker, I think, one of the top agents in the country. You know, he spent 50 grand on one video, and I'm not saying that anybody should do that or could do that. But I'm saying the lessons from the video are this as you compare it to other mediums, direct mail, whatever. And that is this. When you start looking at the metrics for his exposure, I forget what the numbers are and how many thousands of people watch that video. And then he can then, of course, take that video and then leverage that to repurpose it and run ads with certain demographics and all that kind of. So the bottom line is why make the digital shift in part reach, right? Yeah. Because you're going to be able to scale and reach more people and cast a wider net. Yeah. And that means more potential clients, more people who know you. But to your other point real quickly is make the house famous. Now when you've got these buyers, maybe it's a higher-end buyer, maybe it's not. It doesn't matter. People want to work with good people, quality people, people that they like, people that demonstrate proficiencies. And all of a sudden you're like, wow, man, you're the guy that did that video or whatever. It's like, cool. I want to work with you. Wow. Look what you could do for my house. And again, I'm not saying that's right for everybody. But if you're holding back and thinking gosh, is it worth it, hopefully we don't have to convince anybody of that. Yeah. And I'll give, you know, specific links to videos. And they're all throughout the age spectrum. There's a rilter who's in his 20s doing a cool video and he's into dance and he incorporated that. And then there's another guy who's older and just did a really cool different type of video. And I've seen people do this in their 40s, 50s. I mean, like, so age is not an issue. I know a lot of like the average age is getting up there. There's a seven. Yeah. So before we sign off real quick, you wrote a book called Distrupt or Die. You just brought me one. Thank you for doing that. Can you really quick tell us what people get out of this and then kind of promote it? So the subtitle is How to Survive and Thrive, the digital real estate shift. I really wrote it because as I was, you know, going around the country, both in-person and virtual teaching classes, hearing people's responses, both agents and lenders, there's a couple things brewing for me. And the two primary things were one, there were some people like we alluded to a moment ago, which is like, ah, the digital shift. I've been hearing about it for years. I don't know. Is it real? Is it for me? Or I got all these issues about shifting? I don't know like how I look on video, right? All that stuff. And then the other thing that I would hear was people that are following these big gurus, which is just like, you have to be here. You have to do, you have, you know, all these half-tos, right? And it was this perception of, well, does old school real estate work? Does postcards work? Does farming work, you know, those kind of things? And look, I'm collecting these stories from agents and lenders all across the country and saying, here's what I came up with, everything works. Just not for every one all the time, right? You've got to just, based on where you are in the country, what your local market is like. Like doing business in Manhattan is doing, is different than doing it in Idaho, you know, what I mean? And so you have to just accordingly for that. So I wanted to bring stories and examples of people succeeding every day, loan officers, you know, people who aren't mega-producers, agents as well, and show them these are some examples of people who embrace the concepts of going on a social platform or doing video or whatever the thing is. And then there's some more traditional examples just to show you, look, if you're looking for encouragement or direction of for how and what's my path forward, that was the intention of the book. And there's a companion course that goes along with it, which is full of a bunch of videos and it's all free and all that kind of stuff. So if you want to, want me to tell them where to get it? It's disruptordiebook.com, check it out, and that's it, man. That's awesome. Well, cool, nice to catch you up with you again. And thanks for doing this.
