Why real estate offices are GOLDMINES. 10 things that will get you in trouble AND MORE!

February 4, 2018 by Tom Watson

Just like last week, I’ve been digging through some of my past posts to find a few that I feel are important and are worth revisiting.

Luckily there are plenty of posts to choose from! I can’t believe I’ve written so much over the years. Anyway, we have a few varying topics.

I chat about real estate offices and how incredibly valuable they were to me over my career (this is a MUST READ POST for experienced pros and beginners). Then there is my list of ten things that will get you in trouble with a client.

Up next is the details of a very profitable account. This is where I break down the income from one of my accounts. Then I chat about getting your business insured and finally the concept of how money is “just an idea that’s acted upon”. Enjoy!

    I spent a ton on that. Did my homework. Thought it through. Had my display ads professionally designed by an ad executive (who was a friend of a friend). No luck at all. That doesn’t mean it can’t work. Many do it and get results. But I failed big time. My advice would be to spend a little if you go that route and if you see results add to your budget.
