So Matthew Slutsky built it! This week I interview Matthew Slutsky of BuzzBuzzHome. Matthew is the president and founder of the company that is taking the new  home world by storm. So he built it… And they came! In droves… It started with an idea. Then came the long hours combined with a lot of hard work. It wasn’t easy for Matthew and his team at BuzzBuzzHome, but he will tell you it has been worth it. (And when you see what they have built, I’m sure you will agree!) In this episode, Matthew shares his successes and some of his failures as he launched his game changing innovation for the  new home sales world. Matthew and I discuss what it takes to launch your own business  and how he has stayed strong  even when things got tough. This interview is a must for anyone who is thinking about starting their own business, or is thinking about going deep with their niche. (And for anyone who loves The Niche Agent… Which is most of you I assume 🙂 ) Matthew shared this amazing quote that I think will resonate with most of you! “Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.” – Calvin Coolidge So check out the episode and check out what they are up to over at BuzzBuzzHome!

Crush The Competition By Becoming A PR Expert

Crush The Competition By Becoming A PR Expert

By on Aug 15, 2014 in Blog | 0 comments

Become a PR Expert and watch your real estate niche grow! Are you a real estate expert? You may be, even if you’ve never thought of it. A lot of real estate agents may see them as real estate professionals but never think of themselves as “experts” in their area.   You may not be aware, but the media is always looking for an expert opinion when they are working on stories. Do you want to get free exposure, position yourself as an expert and grow your business? Then you need to become a “PR Expert”.   How do you bridge the gap between your being a typical agent and being seen as an expert? If you want to do this effectively you need to be watching for any potential breaking stories in the media. Obviously you want to follow ones that are related to your expertise. For example, if you do a fair bit of multi-family properties and you know there is a shortage in housing, then contact contact a local reporter and offer advice on the best places to find rentals. Or if you sell waterfront homes and you know there is water shortage, reach out to your local media outlets to show them ways you can save on water and still keep your waterfront beautiful.   The key to the success of this is to not talk about YOUR business, but offer useful information with possible solutions to the problems and the best ways to accomplish it. If they like the information enough, the newspaper or TV station might air your information. You can now start being seen as an expert, and if it was good enough information the next time something happens, you will be one of their go to sources.   Media outlets are starved for good stories. They are always looking for fresh content and new ideas. Another way to get in as an expert is to write articles. This is a technique I have used in the past and have had a lot of success with it. I wrote real estate articles for a couple of magazines and online publications. They were more than happy to publish my information. Again, the key...
