Dec 8, 2020

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming of Season 4 of the Boom Real Estate Podcast to bring you yet another "sneak preview" of our new podcast, "Other People's Stories".

Just like you may have guessed, we ditch the normally dense real estate content, (said no one, ever!), to feature an episode of our new podcast that features stories from friends, family and whoever else submits a story. Enjoy!

------------------------------------------

Episode 207 - (Season 4, Episode 17) - Sneak Preview of Other People's Stories 05

Airplane Food, Kansas Weiners, and Scary Ride

Season 1 comes to a wrap! (Yes we know it was only five episodes, but we are very, very, very, busy people.) We’ve worked harder on this season of “Other People’s Stories” than any other season ever! So we’re ready for well-deserved R&R!

However, before we go, we’d like to share “tried and true” information about how to jump from a moving car, how to eat that same car, and how raise a pet that sounds like something you eat. Then, to round it out and to keep you on the seat of your car…seat until next season, we end it all with a cliffhanger! (It was Megan.)

Thanks for joining us for the not-very-lengthy, but very golendrinaish, (it will make sense after listening), Season1. We hope to see you for Season 2! (Assuming the lazy, good for nothing, “talent” come back and do another season.) Enjoy!

Episode 201 (Season 4, Episode 11)

Sources for Resources of Courses

The Boom Team has reached their last full episode of the 4th Season! They spend their time breaking it all down to the “nitty gritty” of what’s needed to be successful as a virtual agent.

We cover technology, sites, and  even philosophies. We also rehash what it was like to do 200 episodes; what Megan immediately regretted saying; and laugh at Producer Christian’s best-timed sounder that had the group in tears!

Finally to wrap it all up in a big “Boom” bow, Todd ends it all with a “Todd’s Silly Segment” for the ages. There’s a ton in this one, so get your #2 pencil ready, along with a separate eraser, and there’ll be plenty to take away!

Episode 200 (Season 4, Episode 10)

Retain Remotely

Believe it or not, it’s EPISODE 200 of the Boom Real Estate Podcast. Can you believe we made it? For 200 episodes, we’ve delivered laughs, tears, and the most mediocre real estate content money can buy. (It’s a free podcast—you get what you pay for.)

To celebrate Number 200, we do absolutely nothing special. But we DO continue to deliver content about how to rock your real estate business virtually. In this one, we talk about how to RETAIN the great clients you worked so hard to gain. On the brokerage level, we touch on retaining agents and team members, despite NOT having an in-person office presence. It CAN be done, so let us show you how in this episode! (Plus we talk geese, dead sharks, and cougars!)

Cheers to #200!

Episode 199 (Season 4, Episode 9)

Remote Recruiting Gone Wild

Season 4 rolls on with The Boom Team taking a moment to talk about recruiting like-minded agents to your team. But…how do we do it virtually?

Of course, as is the case most of the time, the Boom Team also takes several tangents to discuss important issues. Some of the weighty subjects we cover are:  1) What is Producer Christian wearing, 2) The value, (or lack thereof), of Silly Putty, and 3) Predictions on what might be coming our way…if we were making those predictions in the past.

Does your mind hurt a little just thinking about it? Ours too! In any event, all of this happens—and more—on Episode 199!

Cultivating a Killer Virtual Culture

Creating an intentional business culture is imperative to any business, especially a virtual one! With that, the Boom Team hits this topic “head on” and goes deep into the practice of creating a great team culture.

Also—and we’re not quite sure why—Todd dreams of a stalker. Terry questions whether he is on the right podcast. Megan questions her choice in marrying Todd. And finally, Christian questions what to have for lunch.

Episode 197 (Season 4, Episode 7)

Virtual Accountability

The Boom Train has officially derailed! They’ve even reached the point in Season 4 of taking a vote on whether or not to finish out the season. (Spoiler Alert:  the season will go on!)

However, in the words of Hugh Jackman: “My dear friends, Terry, Megan, Christian, and Todd, don’t give up on Season 4 yet, especially Episode 7, as I know it will be your best! The show will go on. By the way, I’ll see you at Red Lobster.” With that, we power through the madness and finish strong!

Join The Team as they talk about one of the hardest parts of working virtually—staying accountable to yourself and others. Whether you’re an agent, team leader, or broker, we’ll help hold you accountable to learn the things you need to keep both yourself and others accountable to reach your goals!

Episode 196 (Season 4, Episode 6)

Train the Virtual Brain

One of the most frequent questions that we get from agents when considering making a move to an all-virtual operation is…”Where will we get our training?” The Boom Team tackles the options available to agents and brokerages when considering a virtual brokerage model.

In this episode, we dive into training options for both agents and brokerages. As a tangent, Todd will discuss one of the ickiest things ever shared on the podcast, but not before showing his complete lack of knowledge, (and Terry’s amazing love), of musicals.

Let’s be honest, The Team will spend more time talking musicals than real estate on this one. Just a heads up!

Episode 195 (Season 4, Episode 5)

Communication from Anywhere

Communication is key to any relationship—especially virtual ones. Whether it’s between you and your staff, you and your clients, or you and your agents, you just HAVE to communicate effectively. If not, those around you start to get “wandering eyes”, which is bad for long- term business.

(Wow! That was about the longest we’ve been able to go with a serious grouping of sentences! Enough of that!)

Along with a focus on communication, in this episode we embolden you to make up words that have already been made up—as Todd and Megan do. We also give CPR to a dead person.

When we finally make it over to serious content later in the episode, you can listen to the Boom’s five “Lightning Round” tips on how to do this whole communication thing right! Enjoy all this—and more—on the latest version of the Boom Real Estate Podcast!

 

SHOW NOTES

  • Todd makes up a word that already exists [1:58]
  • Feel free to use our Season 4 jingle for Max Day [4:56]
  • Megan makes up a word that also already exists [6:33]
  • One easy step into the virtual world are virtual meetings [9:03]
  • Avatar and Twilight are inspirational movies to the Boom Team [10:11]
  • The key is to over-communicate [12:54]
