#88 The Aspen Show

Forbes says the median home in Aspen costs $14.55 million. This week we explore Aspen with the 3 men who know it best.  Who better than the current third term Mayor of Aspen, Mayor Torre, to explain the city's views on tourism, affordable housing and short term rentals? To understand the long-term evolution of Aspen's appeal we have Jim Horowitz, founder of the Jazz Aspen Snowmass festival, now in its 32nd season. (Foo Fighters? Billy Idol?)   Finally, to understand the real estate market there we have one of the top agents in this luxury market, Richard Berkshire, to share with us the market conditions and his predictions.

Join us on a tour of the Brentwood section of Los Angeles, known for its midcentury modern style, an abundance of iconic midcentury modern homes by renowned architects such as Richard Neutra, A. Quincy Jones, and Charles Eames. The open floor plans, large windows, clean lines, and integration with nature that characterize midcentury modern design are prevalent throughout Brentwood. This Thursday top Brentwood realtor Sheila D. Simmons co-hosts the show as we talk to celebrated modern architects Scott Strumwasser and Tash Rahbar of Enclosures Architects about L.A.'s modern roots and how that aesthetic is translated in the 21st century. Their own home is a 1964 restored Quincy Jones and they've recently restored a Rudolph Schindler design.

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.
