Boroughs & Burbs, the National Real Estate Conversation

We talk with Camilo Lopez, founder of Infinite Creator (also known as Elliman Productions) software about  professional real estate content creation that’s fast, easy & affordable.

DELIVERED WITHIN 24 HOURS. To test it I created this video and the one you see on the left using an iPhone for $25 each. We'll ask Camillo Lopez how important is video to winning more listings? to selling more real estate? How can I use automated, inexpensive video creation tools to transform my business?

If you only read one business book this year, make it "Never Split the Difference"  because it will change your life.  It changed mine, and it changed the life of Steve Shull, a Superbowl champion who became a massively successful realtor and real estate coach. Steve took the principals in that groundbreaking book and applied them to the real estate industry in the new book, "The Full Fee Agent", a radical new approach that will free you from the old way of doing things and make more money. 

Steve says when he read this book "I literally had to throw everything out. I was the guy who was trying to get emotion out of the equation....make it all about fact, logic and reason, lead people to a logical, inescapable conclusion... and you can't overcome emotion with fact, logic and reason."

"The entire real estate industry is built on a false premise, that is that people win or lose business based on their presentation and their commission. And its just not true. Some people have gotten really good doing the wrong thing"

Concepts from the books we want to talk about:

- How can I compete with realtors who have discounted their commissions? Why would somebody hire me if I am charging 6% when others are at 4%?

- What does it mean when you ask  "Are you the FAVORITE or the FOOL?" Why do you think most of the time their mind is totally made up and the listing presentation is a complete waste of time?

- Why would anybody waste their time talking to a real estate agent they have no intention of hiring? How can I recognize these time-wasters? How can I change their minds? How can I become the FAVORITE? 

- Mark Cuban says knock on alot of doors. Why do you say knocking on doors a fool's errand. Why is it a waste of time? Why is farming a bad idea?

- What does it mean to have a transactional oriented business and how do I make the change to a referral-based relational business? How do I build trust? What is the role of transactional empathy in relationship selling?

There used to be 18,000 commercial banks in the US before the 80's crash. Now there are a bit more than 4,000. People and businesses rely on banks more than ever, but the need for drive-up, bricks and mortar bank branches has diminished. We don't need drive-throughs or ATMs, but we do need superior electronics. Where do Lending Tree and Rocket Mortgage fit in as banks adapt to the changing needs? We'll ask our experts.

We have experienced several events that have resulted in yet another jolt to smaller and regional banks, including tanking their deposit base and stock prices. Aside from a national crisis in bank confidence, personally I think it's a real loss that Silicon Valley Bank has disappeared, and hope for the best for First Republic - one of the very best niche banks in the country. The fact that their assets are misaligned with their liabilities is not much different than the too-big-to-fail banks, yet they are getting punished for it. The Fed should support all banks if they want true competition...but they don't. Will we see reform and additional regulation? We'll ask our experts.

As the Fed raises rates to combat inflation we are seeing most Americans sitting tight with their low-interest mortgages. As a consequence there is a record-low level of real estate inventory available, and record-low levels of new mortgages and refinancing activity. Banks are making less on each mortgage. We'll ask our experts about the business plan for banks and what will it take to break this cycle that seems to be breaking banks.

Today, the American Riviera remains a favorite of the rich and famous. Tim Allen, Marc Anthony, Ed Asner, Jeff Bridges, Kevin Costner, Tom Cruise, Whoopie Goldberg, Jennifer Lopez, Julia-Louise Dreyfus, Steven Spielberg, Eric Schmidt, Dick Wolf, Brian Wilson, Stevie Nicks and Oprah Winfrey are just a few of the Hollywood heavyweights to call Santa Barbara home. Why? Located 97 miles (156 km) northwest of Los Angeles Santa Barbara has a mild climate protected to the south by the Santa Barbara Islands and to the north by the mountains.

There must be more to the recent rise in prices than nice weather. Who is moving in, causing the average price in Montecito to top $5 million? And, why some people are moving out, tempted by a more affordable Texas, Arizona, Nevada Colorado and perhaps looking for what California used to be. We are going to ask two multi-generation Santa Barbarans how the area has changed and what's next for the "American Riviera".

This week we're heading to Hilton Head Island , the famous Sea Pines Resort and the surrounding coastal communities of Bluffton, Palmetto Bluff and Beaufort, South Carolina. Sea Pines Plantation is the original 5,200 acre private gated community established in 1957 by Charles Fraser with 4 golf courses and one mobile phone in a trailer. Some say he invented the modern gated community and environmentally-oriented tourism. Today, the tourism and travel industry in Hilton Head is one of the largest in the country. Sea Pines still dominates the rental market with properties available for rental year-round. But, in recent years, Hilton Head has also developed a large permanent resident population around 33,000 people live on the 55 square mile island (about the same size as Greenwich, CT but half the population)
The real estate market is also quite lucrative, with the mean residential property in Sea Pines selling for about $639,000 as of February 2018.

For more than a decade, Charter One Realty has been the top producing real estate company in the Hilton Head Island and Bluffton markets capturing an industry-leading average market share of 20 percent during that period.

New York City has added luxury supertalls (Billionaire's Row), eccentric glass towers (Bjarke Ingels' Spiral) and an entirely new neighborhood of skyscrapers above a railcar storage yard (Hudson Yards). We want to talk about the New New York so this week on the show we call in the experts. Over the last 30 years Stephen has overseen more than $15 billion in sales, representing over 10,000 units in the New York City area and spearheading some of the fastest-selling developments with the industry's most prominent developers and been lauded for achieving record-setting prices. Laura consults on all aspect of pre-development planning including pricing, floor plan, finish and amenity recommendations to maximize sales velocity and sellout for each project. Her research has proven an essential decision-making tool for best-in-class global and local developers, including Related Companies, China Overseas America, JDS, Brookfield Properties, and more. But Thursday on the show you get all that research for free!

Join us for a conversation with Dr. Rob Docters on his great new book "Ethics & Hidden Greed". 

While unethical strategies may have increased in sophistication and grown harder to detect in recent years, there are still only five categories of these behaviours. Dr. Docters will demonstrate how to recognize the patterns employed by greedy players and provide tactics for combatting all of them.

40,000 listeners rely on Vince Rocco's show for real estate news and insight. Now, gloves off, we interview him. 

​​​​​​​"Good Morning New York with Vince Rocco" was must-hear radio for most of the last decade in New York. The pandemic happened and Vince turned off his mic for two years. Now, he's back, tan, rested and ready with his new show "Talking New York Real Estate" that airs every Tuesday, the fastest growing show in the city.

26% (80 million) of Americans listen weekly to podcasts.

73% of the U.S. population 12+ have listened to online audio in the last month.

Out of the two million titles reflected in Apple Podcasts a remarkable 26% have produced just a single episode. One and done. That suggests many people fired up their creative juices, especially during the pandemic, and stopped after creating one episode. 
​​​​​​​
Each week, more Americans listen to podcasts than have Netflix accounts.

Almost half (46%) of the U.S. population listens to spoken word audio daily.

If your new episode gets, within seven days of its release:
