You get this panel of amazing professionals! This week I’m sharing another great panel of niche professionals. Only this time I’m the facilitator! I was asked to run two panels at a recent ReBarCamp event here in the area. We had close to 500 of the brightest and top agents attend this incredible full day event.  On this panel we have Reid Greiner – AKA The Kilted Realtor, Barry Lebow – The Godfather of Niches and past guest of The Niche Agent, Shubha Dasgupta – the mortgage broker who makes deals happen and Michelle Hawco – mom and real estate extraordinaire.

And here are my thoughts! This week I wanted to share a video of a training I did recently at one of the local real estate boards. We had the incredible Michelle Hawco (aka The House Mom) who has really found her niche in the “mom community” as an excellent mother, and real estate agent, its no wonder shes having the success shes had. Then next up we had myself, speaking about, of course, niches. I share where I came from, what I learned in my business and then what I have learned by doing this podcasts. Its actually one of the first times I have actually shared my story and been interviewed rather than being the interviewer on here. I hope you guys like it. And then we have Jenny Kotulak as she shares her 25+ years experience in the business. As a trainer and office manager, Jenny has a lot of great insights into this business and what makes it work. I know we didn’t have an episode last week, but I hope this will help make up for it. Keep an eye out for even more episodes of some niche panels I have done recently as well. I trust you will find them really helpful.
