Wednesday Nov 28, 2018
Anytime a new model disrupts the real estate industry, agents and business owners feel threatened. The latest model to do this is iBuyers. How does the model work, and how is it solving the pain points of home sellers? Are there any opportunities for real estate agents within this model? What is the long-term strategy of models like iBuyer? On this episode, we are joined by Long Doan to talk about why we shouldn’t feel threatened by the iBuyer business model.
You are the CEO of your own company, and there are only 3 activities you should be doing. Innovation, quantification and orchestration. -Long Doan

Three Things We Learned From This Episode
How the iBuyer model actually works The iBuyer concept has actually been around forever. It’s just real estate investors going in to offer cash to buy a home but using more technology to do it. An iBuyer is a real estate investor that uses a proprietary model to come up with a value so they can make a cash offer within minutes to buy the home and close quickly.
The pain points iBuyers are solvingiBuyer programs are succeeding because they are solving the pain points of sellers. One of the biggest of these is that some real estate agents just aren’t good, and the iBuyers allow sellers to skip the process of working with an agent. The other pain points are the various hassles and stressors that sellers deal with during the transaction.
What business owners should be focusing onThere are three things every business owner should be doing. Innovation is learning everything you need to know to grow your business and implementing it. Quantification is tracking and documenting everything. The third thing is orchestration, which is putting people, systems and processes in place to run our businesses well.
As the market shifts and changes, we’re going to see a lot more iBuyer programs. As business leaders we can either feel threatened into inaction, or we can try to find the opportunities. The truth is, iBuyers still need to work with agents in many ways, and that means we can partner up with them to our benefit. If we’re really good at providing value, we’ll always come out on top.

Why we should not try to be our agents’ friend When it comes to our teams and agents, we need to stop trying to be their friend. When we do that, we’re not doing them any favors because it leads them to shake off the responsibility they have for their own success. We give them the tools, support and systems and the rest is on them.
How to rethink scripts We call them scripts and dialogues, but they are nothing more than answering questions and providing information. If we learn to gather information properly by asking the questions, we can provide what the prospect is looking for..
How to have tough discussions with clients Not everything we’re going to say to our clients is going to be something they want to hear. Sometimes they’ll have to hear some hard truths. To do this without negatively impacting the relationship, ask for permission to deliver a message to prepare them for it.
Scripts are everywhere in our lives, whether it’s learning the alphabet, counting, or song lyrics. We shouldn’t look at scripts like as an impossible obstacle to overcome. It’s all about communicating, being empathetic, and being genuine. If we genuinely care, this will shine through every single word we say. Excelling at scripts comes down to knowing when to talk and when to listen.

Recruiting is constantly on the minds of leaders looking for the best way to bring on talent. Why is it so important to have filters in our hiring process? What does a candidate’s resume really tell you, and how should their personality factor in? Should we only be looking for licensed agents? On this episode, Wizehire CEO Jay Niblick shares insights on their process and how they help team leaders get the best people to come onboard.
When you’re hiring, take your sales hat off and put on your home seller hat. -Jay Niblick

Three Things We Learned From This Episode
How to know you need to bring someone onThe key metric that determines whether we should be hiring someone to help us is when we get to a point where we can’t handle the business because we’re doing other things like admin. When our bandwidth is maxed out even with an assistant, that’s when you need to bring on a buyer’s agent or two.
Hiring on the resume vs. hiring on personalityDon’t base your hiring decision too much on the resume. Remember: it’s a document written by a salesperson, and they will sell themselves as well as they possibly can. Even if they have references, it’s not like they will put the boss that last fired them. Put the weight of the decision on their personality and the interview.
Why unlicensed agents can also be great hires A lot of us shy away from agents who are newer to the industry, or aren’t licensed yet. However, we have to question why the more experienced agent isn’t managing to get to the next level, and whether we might have to train out some bad habits. With new agents, we can start them off as ISAs for 90 days, train them, and see if they can grow. That’s a great filter for getting really good talent and then making sure they fit the culture.
When we’re faced with a wide pool of talent, it can be difficult to bring it down to the valuable few that will really boost our businesses. DISC profiles help us determine the kind of people they are and what we can expect, but personality and character matter, too. Are they willing to do a DISC assessment, show up to calls on time, and reply to emails? Those things are all very telling. When we hire, we should think like a home seller who has something of value to award to the right person. When that right person comes along, they are given the opportunity of working with us.
