What Is The Longest Real Estate Transaction You've Ever Had? | Pardon The Disruption
Welcome to Pardon The Disruption hosted by Matthew Potter with special guests Steve Trang, Leon G. Barnes, Stratton Brown and Rafael Cortez. Are you contemplating your longest transaction time or how to overcome delays? We've got you covered. Strap in as we unearth the role of follow-ups, lead managers, and the effects of inflation and inventory on prices and interest rates. We delve into the nitty-gritty of price influencers, from supply and demand, location, and the role of virtual assistants, wholesalers, to fix and flippers in determining property values. We even navigate you through the tough terrain of real estate entrepreneurship - the potential for lawsuits, compliance with rules, and the value of mentorship.
As we stir the pot, we confront conflicts of interest, disclosure norms, and the unique tendency of real estate professionals to share information. We draw on our experiences with lawsuits and how we prepared for them. Sharing insights on standing out in real estate, we talk about leveraging social media, understanding and avoiding conflicts of interest, and much more. We'll sign off by letting you in on how to bring value through hunting for deals, effective communication, and the persuasive power of coffee meetings. So, come aboard, it's time to shake things up!

Speaker 4:We'd rather be given one million dollars or have 10 days. You want to make sure to gain five dollars, we're going to talk about it, promote it Black Friday.
Speaker 2:I think it's going to change the game. First off, I will say you guys should all take a million dollars To show how to promote ourselves.
Speaker 1:That is my professional opinion.
Speaker 2:But Mr Pfizer, Sorry.
Speaker 4:I forgot to throw that in there, but I would rather if I can choose my offensive line.
Speaker 1:Don't forget your line. You're filling code for six months. He is on his sixth booster, the $10 million 100% Next up I'm 28. I will cover him in the room. I'm feeling good. Leon, do not forget the cheap arms.
Speaker 2:I've been training a lot. I think I can get five yards.
Speaker 3:What a way to welcome me back.
Speaker 2:I got the smartest guy in the room. If I can go against the bear, the defense, I'm sure got 10. I don't know how much I owe you.
Speaker 3:You can just tell me the G today stands for OJ.
Speaker 1:There we go, and it begins Looking at this screen today.
Speaker 2:I'll be, real.
Speaker 3:I didn't know you were 28 either. That's fantastic. It's nice that you already have equal issues before 30.
Speaker 2:We'll make sure we're fantastic. I love that for him. I love that for him.
Speaker 3:Director of membership for the club.
Speaker 1:That's the way to do it, man. It's only up here. All right, steve what about you?
Speaker 3:What are your thoughts?
Speaker 2:I'm excited to have you back. I do agree with Jaren. I was good to have intelligence. However, I would also point out that, with his PTT Premier, we have Rafael Cortez On a Wednesday morning A budding wholesaler here in Phoenix, Arizona. Go ahead and say hi to the people Carried out of the gym. What is my explosiveness?
Speaker 4:like Steve, You've seen my explosiveness. I'm a real carousel. Apparently it's ankle busting. I've tried to plug in my business.
Speaker 1:A million dollars on front row Ten carries, and I've had one more. It's a game of five hours to ten million dollars. I picked the latter. I'm going to bet on myself. Now, here's the thing though.
Speaker 3:I want to pick the office of line that.
Speaker 4:Emmett.
Speaker 1:Smith had.
Speaker 4:That Cowboys office of line. He wasn't getting in touch for the first three and a half yards.
Speaker 1:Now I readily accept, I might not make more than one carry.
Speaker 3:So I have to give it all.
Speaker 2:I'm not one carry. I'm not one carry.
Speaker 1:Right, but like Stratton if I can, that's for sure.
Speaker 4:Apparently, stratton is not aware that I reside in Phoenix as well.
Speaker 2:So minus one point for Stratton, maybe Bill's additional, I don't know, calluses for my shoulders, whatever he does have the beard.
Speaker 4:All right, we're going to go ahead and start it off with question number one.
Speaker 1:Would you rather be given one million dollars or have ten carries in an NFL game to gain five?
Speaker 2:yards. All right, I agree with that and I also love the fact that. First off, I will say you guys should all take a million dollars. There's more to the story about, you know, across the conversion of how he lost the game. Everyone here should take a million dollars. I love that. That's awesome, but I would rather Leon. Which route are we going here? And I can train for six months.
Speaker 3:So glad that two weeks I was waiting for the ten million dollars. Just continue to get smarter and smarter. 100 percent, I'm doing it. I'm 28.
Speaker 2:Wow, I've recovered from one, steve Broekwinkle in January.
Speaker 3:I'm feeling good. You know I've been pooping a lot.
Speaker 2:I've been training a lot. I think I can get five yards. I got those. If I can go against the Bears defense, I for sure got the penalty. I think you're wearing a 40 bro.
Speaker 3:This is like putting a dog behind me and asking me to run 100.
Speaker 1:There we go and it begins. All right, I'll be real. I didn't know you're 28. That's fantastic, so it's nice that you already have ankle issues before 30. Just get it out of the way. I'm not going to have to put 50 yards in front of me, I'm going to find a way to get that money and then, rather than just taking a million dollars, and that's it. I do agree with Stratton. I'm the most qualified person to speak on this.
Speaker 1:However, I would also like to point out that Stratton Broekwinkle playing basketball with a bunch of money on a busy morning. This guy came off the street and ran for his yard, Gary.
Speaker 3:now he can take that money and turn it into something else. I'm all day. Let me be your scene, my explosiveness I spoke to it.
Speaker 1:It's like the guy that hit the three quarters. No, it's our front for 10 carries and I have a game shot at the goals game for a million dollars.
Speaker 3:That's Leon. Right there, I'm going to bet on myself. Now, here's the thing, though I'm you saying I want to pick the office of line, right?
Speaker 1:That cowboy's office, all right.
Speaker 3:Next up, Rafael, what are?
Speaker 1:you doing? Which way are you going?
Speaker 3:Now, I'm readily, I might not make more than one sexy, but everybody has to give it all to get punched in the face on that one Care to get wind back, so I would stick with stuff that I understand. I take the mill and deploy that.
Speaker 1:I don't know about football.
Speaker 4:I know I probably run. I could have run through a no, Calis is whatever.
Speaker 2:So yeah, I'm going to be the boring answer on this one and.
Speaker 1:I can have the Cowboys office of line in the late 90s.
Speaker 4:I'm pretty sure I know how to flip that and turn it into a feeling I'm feeling hopeful, I'm going forward. So smart answer, all right.
Speaker 2:I was anyone with that.
Speaker 4:I also love the fact that you know there's no running backs, but you know the cars of our color and how he just the ankle.
Speaker 2:That's all. That's all All right.
Speaker 3:Next up, which we're pretty, we go in here. I mean I would say I would say I would say I would say I would say I would say, I would say I mean I'm with this one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I play in a basketball league with Tyrell sucks, I am. Tyrell is a guy that came up and I still remember in our yards and I don't want to Out of the Cowboys line goes up for playing zone, like putting a body behind me Right, you'd run 100. I box them out.
Speaker 3:I'm going to run this little swim Ten flat. It wasn't violent.
Speaker 1:A barking dog.
Speaker 2:So you put $2 million in front of me.
Speaker 3:I'm going to find a way to get five yards. In fact, I just need 150 yards in front of me. I'm going to find a way to get that money and then and then, rather than just one chance, one moment.
Speaker 1:It's like I was going to say, are we going to go full eight mile? Because I feel like that's like something else, Famous.
Speaker 3:This guy came off. Hey, when that happens, and just because it was absolutely hilarious, so I'm all day Give me the yardage for sure Mr Two weeks Like the guy.
Speaker 2:It's like the guy back in the 90s that we look forward to the 50 yard dash. What was it provided by our six for million dollars, running back over 120 pounds All day?
Speaker 3:I'm saying you put.
Speaker 1:The image is amazing. All right, we will stop, raphael. You all sound really, really sexy. Everybody has a plan.
Speaker 3:I'm showing up in a full unit. Let's go.
Speaker 2:So I would stick with the 50 yard dashes in the parking lot.
Speaker 4:I don't know a lot about football, all right.
Speaker 1:Question. Number two Probably rocks our games has announced that next month they are revealing their next grand theft auto install. Almost 10 years since they're blasting. I know how to like GTA six. What is the longest amount of time it is taking you to?
Speaker 2:close a trans oh this is fun.
Speaker 3:If there's anyone else, there's no running backs Larger. It's just how tall is Leon.
Speaker 2:I'm saying you look pretty thin too.
Speaker 4:So look, I didn't want to say anything, but I mean I'm Since we, yeah, I played basketball league with Terrell sucks Right Because he's a guy that came up in and I still remember in our league game sellers I boxed them out.
Speaker 3:Right, I was like ball goes up, we're playing, we're playing.
Speaker 1:I'm like oh, I'm going to be like oh.
Speaker 3:I'm going to be like oh what am I going to be?
Speaker 1:like Okay, yeah, there are like two of us in our league game.
Speaker 2:First of all, I have done it myself.
Speaker 1:Those are rookie numbers, bro. We got to pump those up.
Speaker 2:We got a few decades. You got to put serious work. Hey, when that happens, all right.
Speaker 4:Next, up our file what about you. Just because it's not gonna be in the years.
Speaker 2:Actually.
Speaker 1:Sack. That point goes probably, you know, mr, two weeks. You know, we aren't he Barnes on this one. It's about Congratulations, boss.
Speaker 4:We look forward to 50 yard dash provided by our six for running back over.
Speaker 3:The image is amazing, like let's just get it in our head.
Speaker 1:The image is amazing. We love it, it's. We will do 50 yard dashes in the party he's like happy anniversary.
Speaker 4:It's alright.
Speaker 2:We are revealing their next grand theft auto installment.
Speaker 3:Man, that's great All right it's almost 10 years Taking you on your long like GTA 6.
Speaker 1:What is the longest amount of time Taking you to close a transaction? And the reason it took so long is because I my dumb Like hey, we will help you find a house to move into and so we are under contract this entire time.
Speaker 2:Everything else.
Speaker 3:And that's the only reason it went that long.
Speaker 2:I was like actually do my job and I think I need like a Five-meter.
Speaker 1:All right, what about you?
Speaker 3:longest transaction close.
Speaker 1:So I'm between probably a year and a half in two years.
Speaker 2:Those are rookie numbers.
Speaker 3:Come on now so you gotta put serious work in. I'm not as old as Steve man, I'm only in my 40. I mean, I had a secret.
Speaker 1:All right next up, Raphael. What about?
Speaker 4:you man. It's not gonna be in the year and I think the longest deal that we've actually been under contract and transacted through it.
Speaker 1:I'm probably it's about.
Speaker 4:When it comes to follow up. I mean that's years in the making, right once the money comes in and and we follow it up, you know, with people. But once the contract.
Speaker 3:So, yeah, it's not as radical as Leon's over here.
Speaker 1:In long-term relationship it's like happy anniversary. Man, that's great. All right, Strat. And what about you? How long is it taking you on your longest transaction?
Speaker 3:One in jail nine months, but I mean we on it's older than I am.
Speaker 2:It's not quite fair to compare that shit. And the reason it took so long is because I, my dumb ass, like, hey, we will help you find a house to move into and so we are under contract the entire time I'm taking them to open houses. Help them rule out what everything else, the sellers probably help.
Speaker 4:That was.
Speaker 1:I think I need like a.
Speaker 2:Managers that will handle all of that follow-up for anybody who's in the space. So, like all of our clients, who are the best, they stick on their follow-up with our leads managers. It's awesome.
Speaker 1:I mean I had, and then you are interested in investing in real estate with us. Let me know he loves the year and a half was not you can also systemize that strat to CEO.
Speaker 3:I don't remember the pain, the sponsors Exactly did we collect a sponsorship?
Speaker 1:I didn't see that one come through. I'm just gonna be on like I didn't see that as one of the Sponsors today. I must have missed that memo.
Speaker 2:People in general campaign. Once it's.
Speaker 3:Very good point, as always. Leon Steve knows.
Speaker 1:Articulate what I think everybody else on the panel is trying to say. That being said, you know I want to head for my hat and ring in the YouTube chat there at 47 months. That being said, you know, not necessarily the short sale king over there, maybe short sale. Like you know, we're gonna do that Anyways.
Speaker 3:I'm gonna find a.
Speaker 1:Steve. On that one, I think that we can all agree. We're probably gonna see a little bit more Transaction times in the. That's just honest between probates and shorts real quick.
Speaker 2:I forgot to let you guys know I own a company called virtual help.
Speaker 1:That'll handle all of that follow-up Anybody who's in the space. What in real estate, all of our clients were the best.
Speaker 2:They stick on their follow-up with our leads managers. It's awesome. And then, if you, are interested in investing in real estate with us? Just let me know.
Speaker 1:I RJ Bates, he loves Pricing.
Speaker 2:I don't remember the pain, the sponsorship fee.
Speaker 1:Did we collect a sponsorship fee?
Speaker 2:I didn't see that one come through Like I didn't see that as one of the sponsors with a house.
Speaker 4:I must have missed that memo which I kicked out of the most.
Speaker 1:Inflation. That would be those billet in person.
Speaker 3:But I think inventory usually the acquisition to people when it comes to price, will double down on the things that they make. That's what we we saw commission from over the last four years prior to the interest rate.
Speaker 2:It's gone over a certain amount of time and they can bring that in we have seen inventory across the United States continue to go low, which has driven up prices and interest rates for less than a
Speaker 3:person those are going to get incentivized, by the way.
Speaker 2:So I think everybody's going to be scared about their monthly.
Speaker 3:Very good point, as always.
Speaker 1:They could afford a million dollars when they should articulate, I think everybody else.
Speaker 3:What have you been trying to say? So that being said first, and foremost inventory, you know, I I want to head through. My second is location. I can tell you, living in Florida, a house on the water Offer number thirty three is the one that's not, so that being said, going to the game.
Speaker 1:Oh go, at least as long as it's been. Oh hey, no, we ain't, we ain't going to do that. Alright, anyway, what?
Speaker 4:about you, steve. On that one, um, I think that we can all agree we're probably going to see a little bit more. I think it's in planning man Longer transaction times in the current marketplace.
Speaker 1:Let's just be honest, it's going to between probates, and some of that and again like the plan to man will create a question number three the feeling of scarcity of their, in the upcoming weeks, fast food chains in California will raise their menu items due to the pandemic, but in real state you know, there's no inventory?
Speaker 2:There's no, you know, there's there's demand on the start of the year I'm going to buy by.
Speaker 4:I'm going to say, I'm offended, that maybe refinance it.
Speaker 3:Uh, and you know, marry the prices you know the date later.
Speaker 2:It's general thinking, though, and uh, and I think they're probably discussing terms Um.
Speaker 3:we know the what.
Speaker 2:So listen, you didn't ask me about a strategy here, you asked me about what it is. So you know you know, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1:I think the reason why, yeah, but I think daddy, exactly, so uh, yeah.
Speaker 4:And then it also creates, you know, a perception of value. I mean location and all that you know matter and it starts.
Speaker 1:You know we have high interest rates in areas of our demand is high.
Speaker 4:Most directly proportional things, interest rates, you know the, the mobility of the market.
Speaker 1:So I think that's, that's all right. Yeah, we can see it in the current market. All right, what about you All?
Speaker 3:right. Uh, I mean I don't know. You said that's the right answer.
Speaker 2:I think inventory is the whatever it is.
Speaker 1:Can't do it. Can't do it Exactly because it's literally backwards.
Speaker 4:It's that terrible At least that yeah, sure All right Stratton, what about you, Mike?
Speaker 3:COVID controls all real estate prices as we saw.
Speaker 2:Oh, my original answer, mr Fiser will agree which is driven up prices I'm really going with. No one care about the price of the home, it's just that it's at a 3%. It's selling at $150 a square foot when they should only probably find a half million dollars Two years ago, three years ago, at $650 a square foot. So for me, first and foremost, it's inventory, supply and demand Close. No one must be over there anymore. It's not safe anymore. I can tell you.
Speaker 3:Give another example. A house on the water costs a little bit more. We're looking at an annual unit portfolio, so inventory with a close second on location. This dude got in trouble for exchanging no lie, spoken like a real estate professional.
Speaker 1:It's been in a game for at least as long as 91 units In this meth town, with only a prison to a bar Raphael. What about you?
Speaker 2:Add a little bit on the man, but I think it's really a massive part of it. Besides, mr Pfizer's hands in the back. Um, it's, it's gonna, it's gonna impacts.
Speaker 1:What did barter become a leader?
Speaker 4:and again, like some plan, demand will create a.
Speaker 2:Is a. So if you want to invest in that deal, my cell phone number is 801 0803 to and. We were buying this thing for 4.5 million. We think it's worth 11.
Speaker 4:Bro, you're gonna make a great return on your money. So it also creates, you know, a perception of value.
Speaker 2:I had to know Leons, you know we have high interest rates and years that are.
Speaker 3:You know we're. The demand is high.
Speaker 4:When I'm driving up to Leonsville. You know the, you know man like these houses really great like Leon's, living a really, really nice part of town All right, all right.
Speaker 2:Why don't you pull out what these guys are going?
Speaker 1:for I don't know. You said Plus words of Mary, the rate. Whatever you're doing over there, I don't know. Well, whatever it is, Exactly because it's literally backwards. It's that terrible, just maybe the property All right.
Speaker 2:Controls all.
Speaker 3:Then I'm really going with supply and demand Right and you can take this back, I think.
Speaker 4:That's on the road is selling at $150 a square foot.
Speaker 3:And I think it's beyond. It might be a 100%.
Speaker 2:It's not safe anymore. And you have another example.
Speaker 1:I think you guys are With the dude got in trouble for exchanging sexual favors for rent. We have a person get qualified with a mortgage and I was like, sir, it's all about who else wants to buy 91 units In this meth town, with only a prison to employ people.
Speaker 2:They want to buy the best house that I am the only buyer. So that was the supply and demand of it all.
Speaker 1:But I think supply and demand Ideally, yeah, I love to live in the water. I love mr Pfizer's hands in the background. Just control on everything. But really what? What did barter?
Speaker 4:become illegal what they can buy is really If I want to invest in that deal.
Speaker 2:So if you do want to invest, in that deal my cell phone number is 801 8608032. We have a minimum of an 8% preff and we were buying this thing for 4.5 million. We think it's worth 11.
Speaker 3:So you're gonna make a great return on the money the wrong question by a great asset. The question is how well is it?
Speaker 1:It's fully disclosed at SEC.
Speaker 3:Yes, where's our SEC of all things?
Speaker 1:again are show cancelled because when Stratton was pitching us fun, so it's fine I had a chance to go uh go visit.
Speaker 3:Leons all I want to see now is when I was looking at Leone in past.
Speaker 2:I'm driving up to Leone Ray Lewis on the other side I was on my hand, like these houses look really good. There's one other thing that goes there to be prices of real estate and it's the inflate Make the agents. We have to throw that one in there. We're done with it.
Speaker 1:Bro, that ain't it. You want to know actually impacts it. It's these fix and flippers that are putting together all these white shaker cabinet Properties and putting them back on the market, and they want top dollar.
Speaker 3:That's what's affecting them.
Speaker 2:Ask realtor and they'll tell you it's wholesalers.
Speaker 1:Ask wholesalers they'll tell you it's real estate. So absolutely, it's. It's which one came first. It's all these virtual assistants, it is.
Speaker 3:Everything is just too efficient.
Speaker 2:It might be a fickle Virtual help that I over help so many companies just hail to the moon.
Speaker 3:It's crazy.
Speaker 1:I think you guys are. I think that's a big difference. I don't know.
Speaker 2:Elias with Sin's strategy.
Speaker 1:We have a person to give quality.
Speaker 2:Cash out.
Speaker 1:That was an interesting round. I liked it. We had it split here a little bit Interest rates to find demand.
Speaker 2:I see both sides of the argument, ideally everyone would love to live in the water Productive realtor that I am. I can see this that being said we're going to go ahead and From what I see, I'm going to agree with Steve on this one.

Speaker 1:Cause all the house impressions go up.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that is just Anyways.

Speaker 4:The question is how Pretty much.
Speaker 1:Anyways, we're going to go ahead and get onto these words from our official sponsor, not our unofficial one Daddy.

Speaker 2:What that means is that Steve Helps copy one of the sales process that's going there when the price is Of real estate and it's the Deep discounts with the disruptors process. No, you know, we're not beating that dead or us. We're done with it. But now I'm out, so everyone can gain the same training.

Speaker 1:I see how would you react.
Speaker 3:You know I'm uh, I'm not the best.
Speaker 1:Anyways, anyways.
Speaker 3:From our official sponsor not our unofficial one over the strat daddy enough.
Speaker 1:This is from our, one of our.
Speaker 2:A lot of you might or might not know that, apart from the badge of honor, I wholesale. I.

Speaker 4:Meaning what to say to homeowners to acquire properties.
Speaker 1:With the disruptors. Steve Launched sales community, so that everyone can gain the same training.
Speaker 2:I can actually ask this count of only.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm getting even more Inside the community you get all.
Speaker 2:Of you get all of Steve's courses.
Speaker 1:Coaching calls a week, resources, handouts and access, which in the past $1,000 simply put sales skills become financially free if you're interested in joining their mission of creating?
Speaker 3:100 millionaires To.
Speaker 1:You're still gonna get.
Speaker 3:You should.
Speaker 1:Nike is suing new balance and sketches for patent infringement over their finite Technology?
Speaker 3:a stretchy woven fiber material. How would you react?
Speaker 1:if one of your competitors Absolutely Everything that we do.
Speaker 3:I'm not the best rule follower of you guys, because I've received multiple seasons Sees, and this is notices throughout my career take that as a word.
Speaker 2:Everybody jumping in we are doing business, I'm not getting sued and I'm a little less jockeau, a little bit more you know. Do that always.
Speaker 4:Leon out there. All right, rafael, what about you? I don't get excited about getting on her. I however.
Speaker 1:Every time I got angry letter you know either.
Speaker 4:Yeah, and try to. You know awesome.
Speaker 1:Right, because what do I know? That my team printed the mail.
Speaker 2:I've seen it become almost like a strategy, like a business strategy and the post office delivered the mail.
Speaker 1:I know for sure the mail got delivered. So for me, I love negative signals because it means they're being productive.
Speaker 4:For lead generation where they're simple.
Speaker 1:I can actually guess for this, like he would call me and be like yo. I'm getting sick.
Speaker 2:I'm like fantastic Congratulations. We'll send you a kit.
Speaker 1:All right, next up Leon what are your thoughts?
Speaker 3:Disclosure paperwork and everything that we can. I'm thinking, steve, we go all jocco on this, I'm getting sick. I'm getting sick. That's not preventable.
Speaker 2:It's really not Like somebody's going to find a way to mess up if they really want to.
Speaker 4:That means is that you're being loud enough?
Speaker 3:That doesn't mean there's more losses there. They're using it out there. I've never seen a successful person just go through it. I would love it. I don't love distractions. To me those are distractions but I will agree with Steve on this If you're an entrepreneur, take real estate out of it. Do I like it? No, because it does create distractions. You should expect that if you're doing the business, even if you're doing it the right way you're following all the rules that you should expect at some point.
Speaker 4:I will not shoot for a settlement or not when I've seen it in the past.
Speaker 3:I will not go for a settlement right out of it it just comes with the territory. It's not an evil battle it's just a matter of principle. If that is not something that you want to be a part of then you should probably question whether you want to be an entrepreneur, and specifically a real estate entrepreneur, because everything that we do is contract.
Speaker 1:I feel that the two minutes afterwards is going to have a healthy discussion on this part.
Speaker 2:This is great to bring to the table.
Speaker 1:All right, shravan what about you man? Take that as a word of warning for everybody.
Speaker 4:Leone is not lying, it will have.
Speaker 1:They never use the L word.
Speaker 2:The L word is lawyer.
Speaker 1:It's a little less jocco and a little bit more.
Speaker 2:All lawsuits are distractions.
Speaker 4:They suck. All right, rafael. What about you, man? I don't get excited about getting sued. However, I think it does come with the territory. You're loud enough about your job. I'm like yeah we're making calls yeah, this went this way.
Speaker 2:Mirror, what you're?
Speaker 4:doing and try to. I hate them completely. If I get sued by my competitor, I'm okay. Push it in their own terms. A lot of times like sometimes I've seen it become almost like a strategy, and then this is my top competitor.
Speaker 2:I'm going to beat them up and then you just got to move on and then step away, because it'll keep you alive internally and you'll stress yourself out and everything else.
Speaker 1:You're going to do absolutely nothing wrong. One thing that I do do is I spend a lot of time before. I was not in the wrong, I was in the right. For me it's a not issue because I know I did nothing wrong On a cease and cease notice maybe I'll just push it down or mitigate any of that.
Speaker 2:Maybe, I'll just figure out how far you can go. Somebody's going to find a loophole. So on those, I just figure out where the boundaries were, and a lawsuit.
Speaker 3:I did absolutely nothing wrong and I won every lawsuit. So for me I'm not worried about the lawsuits.
Speaker 4:Those were just tabs on the shoulder, the punch in the face of the lawsuit In such a peaceful way that they never would stir somebody else up or lawsuit what you were not supposed to be doing.
Speaker 3:Right, that wasn't actually a lawsuit, so that's a difference.
Speaker 4:But it's still, you know it's part of the beast, I would say that this question is going to happen.
Speaker 3:Just write the check for the retainer and get back to work.
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4:And I will not. I will not shoot for the settlement Like when I've seen in the past. I will not go for the settlement, that's actually a good thing for new balance. It's not an ego battle, it's just a matter of principle. If I think there's no, no, no merit to that is now coming after you what is the balance?
Speaker 3:of that, they get some free publicity for their brand and continue.
Speaker 1:I feel that the two minutes afterwards- is going to have a healthy discussion on this part. This is great to bring to the table.
Speaker 3:All right, what about you, man Grandpa?
Speaker 2:and grandma are first big boy lawsuits of $500,000. The first thing my mentor said is never use the L word Like, for an example you guys all know crumble right. He was like don't get fancy and throw it out because all along good morning Americans.
Speaker 4:They announced that they're assuming the lawyers make money and they're going to bleach you out.
Speaker 2:Dirty Dose sold out all of their franchises the next day. I am not excited.
Speaker 1:I didn't even know dirty toe was a thing At all. That's where I see another company that was a knock off of them.
Speaker 4:Yeah, they announced that they're showing them, and then they sold 100.
Speaker 3:I hate them completely If I get sued by my competitor, I'd be like, okay, the reason that I bought that up in the same reason I somehow missed it in somewhere or another. And then you said okay call the attorney pay the retainer.
Speaker 2:And then you've got to like move on and then step away I don't want their distraction and you'll stretch yourself out and everything else. It's nonsense. Keep it pushing at a high level, if you did do something wrong, that's your fault.
Speaker 3:It's jealous at some point and some level.
Speaker 1:I guess I'll just add to that right Every time.
Speaker 3:I've been sued.
Speaker 1:They want to bring this on, but I would avoid them like the plague, it's not an issue. Man, they are a massive distraction to what you're trying to accomplish. Maybe I'll just figure out how far you can go until you get your hand slaps.
Speaker 3:So on those.
Speaker 1:I was just figuring out where to point the balance.
Speaker 3:And the lawsuit, rafael. He said absolutely nothing wrong.
Speaker 1:I don't want every lawsuit, so he seems cuddly on the camera.
Speaker 3:Those were his taps on the shoulder.
Speaker 1:He is a boxer, he does movie tie and he does Jiu Jitsu. So just an FYI if you ever see Rafael on the street, he seems kind of cuddly.
Speaker 3:So give me a lawsuit, right, he will fight you. So there's a different differentiator, he has a mutual colleague, right, he does somewhere around 15,000 wholesale deals a year. Out of the gates. He's talking about 90 and new balance. He's not worried about it. He just has that issue of dress all the time. What you also know as you continue to grow. I worked in corporate for 11 years we knew who are people going to sue people with money or people without money?
Speaker 2:They're coming after people with money. They're going to sue you if you're broke.
Speaker 3:That I know right, so they're coming after you.
Speaker 1:More reasons to get sued.
Speaker 3:Nike now sees them as. Take them all to Steve. I don't want to so those horrible.
Speaker 1:I think that we could probably close this round up with biggie Smalls.
Speaker 3:They're now getting some extra problems no lawsuits.
Speaker 2:That's just the way that it is. For an example, you guys all know Crumble right. So I'm looking at this question and I have to say I'm looking at American announced.
Speaker 1:Who actually answered the question. Dirty Dough sold out all of their franchise.
Speaker 3:Why start now? Why start really deducting the client? It's another company that was a knockoff of them they announced that they're suing them.
Speaker 4:I don't feel special anymore, don't worry, I got my mother's sound effects over here.
Speaker 1:We're going to get through all of them. Now I'm going to go with Jaco over there.
Speaker 4:Jaco- did it. He answered the question.
Speaker 2:It's the first time in six months.
Speaker 1:Steve has actually answered the question.
Speaker 3:We're all.
Speaker 4:We're doing something at a high level, including someone else jealous at some level.
Speaker 3:I'm seeing a strong bias here. We have a sign right there. I would avoid them like yeah, exactly, some people pay for advertising to some other people. What you're trying to accomplish, I know in real estate, once they continue to sell me hey look, dude, I tell everybody before the show I tell everybody before the show starts my Venmo's always up, alright.

Speaker 2:He has, I think, three or four attorneys Alright earlier this week.
Speaker 1:Google asked European.
Speaker 2:Union to address Apple's encryption and exclusive iMessage messaging feature for those as you continue to grow.
Speaker 3:I worked in corporate for 11 years Available to third-party services? What type of information or resources should a real estate business be used? To disclose the real estate business. I'm not sure Real estate business being used to disclose. No one's suing you. What we're looking for here is what stuff should a real estate business have to disclose? So they're coming after you. Let's start with Steve. Take them all to Steve.
Speaker 1:I don't want them. Things that actually affect the property.
Speaker 4:I think that we could probably close this round up with a small set of best.
Speaker 2:No money, no problems no losses. I can't think of anything else, that's just the way that it is over here I'm looking at this question and I have to say Right, you should disclose that who actually answered the question. How would you react?
Speaker 3:if one of your competitors sues you Just a half mile, why start now? The only thing that I think I'll disclose is really not the effects of the property, because that's what.
Speaker 4:Anyways, may not be privy to.
Speaker 1:Don't worry, I got like nine other sound effects over here. We're going to get through all of them now On this one.
Speaker 2:I'm going to go with Jaco over there. He did answer the question. What about you? It's the first time in six months that Steve actually answered the question wrong.
Speaker 1:Let's give him a round of applause.
Speaker 3:Including the last four that you gave him, that he didn't answer the question correctly.
Speaker 4:I'm seeing a strong bias here Especially, I mean we have the sign right there right behind a Obviously somebody's apparently half-oddish clothes. Some people pay for those requirements. Some other people pay for those clothes.
Speaker 1:Outside of that force has to be the word hey look, I tell everybody before the show.
Speaker 3:I tell everybody before the show starts, my Venom is always on the board. Alright word from another sponsor. Legal state requirements are nothing, zero.
Speaker 1:Outside of that, this episode is also sponsored by the Family Tree at Real Broker. If you're looking to make a change in your real estate business, check out therealfamilytreecom and schedule your collaboration call with us. We will help you grow your real estate business.
Speaker 2:Alright, let's get into the next question and hopefully answer the question. Thank you for answering the question.
Speaker 3:You needed an emphasis, though I had to come after you.
Speaker 2:Earlier this week, Google asked you your peeing union to make Apple's encryption and exclusive iMessage, the messaging feature.
Speaker 1:Alright, what about you, rafael? What?
Speaker 2:are you?
Speaker 1:available to third-party services.
Speaker 4:What type of information or resources should a real estate business be forced to disclose to its students, not necessarily the customers, so kind of what we're looking for here is what stuff should a business have to? Disclose. Start us off, Steve. I mean, this is one of the things you should be able to disclose there you go, you're back in the driver's seat, bro.
Speaker 2:This is going to affect the value of the property.
Speaker 1:With that being said, I feel like anything that should be forced. I can't think of anything else, right? This is a site with anything that creates a conflict of interest for the competitor. There's a transaction going on between two parties and we knowingly know that this is going to create a conflict of interest, it should be disclosed to the other party.
Speaker 4:Anything that's material.
Speaker 1:The only thing that I think should be disclosed is the material fact for the transaction itself, but directly affected the other company. Maybe that's one more vote for a conflict of interest.
Speaker 4:I think that's.
Speaker 1:We are not bringing it back next time. We're done with that.
Speaker 2:This is being a good person, not even the competitor.
Speaker 4:I dig it.
Speaker 2:What should?
Speaker 1:you have to disclose.
Speaker 3:I don't like the word forced either.
Speaker 2:I think the material is correct one thing but in business we're remote and the things that are unique about your business, if all you really have to make them drop marks.
Speaker 3:I'm not trying to disclose those requirements. We have to disclose Outside of that I hate that word. In the United States that shouldn't be forced to do anything outside of the requirements that whatever association or any other thing should never be disclosed.
Speaker 2:Nothing is zero outside of that. Why would I provide anything?
Speaker 4:Real estate is the only business where everybody tells each other what they're doing inside of their business to help each other, if you think about it.
Speaker 2:No one else is ever disclosing. You aren't hearing, all right.
Speaker 3:Nike.
Speaker 1:Literally suing each other. Like you know, I'm just trying to help you be All right. What about you, raphael? What are you forced to discuss?
Speaker 4:Question and Adressed say transaction going on between two parties and knowing that this is going to create a conflict of interest.
Speaker 1:There's a big difference in faith to the other parties. I feel totally fine forcing Rafael to come over here and stall this.
Speaker 4:CRM for the transaction itself.
Speaker 1:I don't see any conflict of interest there?
Speaker 4:Not at all. I do it any day that we program.
Speaker 1:Especially if you can include your database with it of all the Phoenix clients.
Speaker 2:This is not even a good person, not even necessarily a competitor.
Speaker 1:I dig it. That's a solid answer. So there's a big difference between collaborating like that and then sharing your IP.
Speaker 2:I think the material fact thing is one thing, but business, your moat and the things that are unique about your business is all you really have to maintain your proper business. I know that might create a conflict of interest, Especially like I'm a real estate broker. So if I see another thing happening, this house A it has foundation issues.
Speaker 4:There's this and there's that Besides that, and it's very obvious that those are the things that we know. We'll always let them know someone got murdered in the house. Besides that any other things?
Speaker 2:should never be disclosed.
Speaker 1:I don't think it's appropriate and I think it starts to mess with your livelihood.
Speaker 2:Real estate is the only business where everybody tells each other what they're doing inside of their business.
Speaker 3:What you mean To help each other. No one else is ever disclosed that they weren't here in Nike and Adidas sharing their manufacturing.
Speaker 1:They're not saying a word to that.
Speaker 2:They're not disclosing anything.
Speaker 1:I'm not mad at All, right, so that was a solid round.
Speaker 4:Not to lie, Rafael, you absolutely nailed the kind of what I had in my head with the almost like an affiliated business disclosure.
Speaker 3:What are you forced to do? We have to do that because we have affiliated business, again outside of any requirements that the state slowly agents on our side. You know what have to do with those disclosure fiduciary whole family.
Speaker 1:Why would anyone want to be forced to deal with your secret sauce away? I was going to give that point to state. I don't know, Maybe that point still goes to Steve. I'm just going to make it up.
Speaker 4:I think the other reason I got the point is because, they don't do that, trust me.
Speaker 3:That's not why I said earlier and we're out All right. Next up, let's see we have question number six.
Speaker 1:All right, highly touted rookie Victor.
Speaker 3:There's a big difference.
Speaker 2:I feel totally fine.
Speaker 1:I had to show out game against Phoenix on scoring 38 points, Like Victor's performance how many real estate investors make themselves stand out in the real estate industry?
Speaker 4:Not at all.
Speaker 1:I do it any day of the week for you, man, Especially if you can include your database with it of all the Phoenix clients. Dude, I'm going to go with the old fashioned response what does?
Speaker 2:it bring value. In my head that sounds like a JV. So, for that matter, right, you look for the tables that you can get into. So a big difference right between collaborating like that and then, for example, sharing your IP.
Speaker 2:You have elbow grass and looking for deals. Look at what your X-factor is. I've seen it, and I don't care how new you are in the game Something that's happening and you know it might create a conflict of interest. I'm a real big broker. So if I see another, any of you who's going to be needing that type of comfort, so leave with that. Think about how can I feel like somebody else's business needs as you're going through the process? You want to stand out. It's not by buying somebody coffee.
Speaker 4:It's not by calling somebody and then telling them hey, can I pick you up for 30 minutes.
Speaker 2:I'll buy you lunch. People are busy. Honestly, I pay attention to we call that ying and yang what you call me bro.
Speaker 4:That they've gone through their mind. They have been considering it about how busy people are Alright.
Speaker 1:So that was a solid round, Not in a lie.
Speaker 2:Rafael, you absolutely nailed kind of what I had in my head with the almost like an affiliated business.
Speaker 1:disclosure Love that.
Speaker 2:We all have to do that Also.
Speaker 3:Absolutely, you can get hit up Absolutely agents on our side For the rest of your life, if you really want to carry a whole thing.
Speaker 2:Alright Stratton so points to Rafael on that even though he busted my chops.
Speaker 4:I don't know, maybe that point still goes when you come into the business and you will stand proudly on Raccoon.
Speaker 1:I think the only reason I got the point is because they called me that, and then on top of that, trust me, that's not why it happened.
Speaker 2:And communicate well with other people, and I promise you if you really want to blow things up and host about what you did on social media. Next up, let's see we have question number six, highly talented rookie I'm going to put your last name because I always do Wimbid and Yama. How to show out game against Phoenix Sun scoring 38 points.
Speaker 1:Like Victor's performance. How can a new real estate master make themselves stand out?
Speaker 2:A lot of work right there, not sure how I feel about that.
Speaker 1:Start us off, rafael. I think I'd rather dance than some TikToks Dude. I'm going to go with the old fashioned response to bring value. If you want to stand out and end the real estate industry, for that matter. I think you got to do what Victor's done Look for the tables that you can get into. Try to find a place and be as loud as you can. Robert, last week, right.
Speaker 3:If that comes in the form of elbow grease and looking for deals.
Speaker 2:Jamil Jangi Everybody has an X factor.
Speaker 1:I don't care how new you are. You're really good at sales and also being the blue genie. Everywhere I see him, I just always think of the blue genie, the market, more Sean Terry. I think he was the loudest voice for the longest time. I don't think there were people podcasting for that, sean Terry. It's not by buying somebody coffee. You could not go anywhere without knowing who Sean Terry was. People are just like we put value.
Speaker 3:Honestly, I'd be a pinching to people who come to me in that fashion.
Speaker 1:Be remarkable. They have something that they Getting deep on question. Six Alright, leigh-arm. What about you? They've been doing this for a long time.
Speaker 4:I think they're doing this for a long time, I think they're doing this for a long time.
Speaker 1:I think they're doing this for a long time. Alright, Leigh-Arm, what about you?
Speaker 4:They've been, they have been considerate about how basic people are.
Speaker 3:I think they've been giving you a recipe of how to be those who are already in business and they kind of check the boxes right.
Speaker 4:They're in the process and they're leading the value In the real estate space, but I don't think that everyone has to be remarkable.
Speaker 1:I like that. To bring value and make themselves stand out in real estate Also. Absolutely love that and make themselves stand out in real estate For the rest of your life.
Speaker 3:If you really want to.
Speaker 1:If you're trying to go from zero to one.
Speaker 3:To stand out.
Speaker 2:You, Leigh-Arm, you are going to do when you come into the business Absolutely have to bring value and you will stand out miraculously and then on top of that. Just communicate. And communicate well with other people. He went to work for free For a real estate investor.
Speaker 3:For a long time.
Speaker 2:I don't know if I'm an exact time frame, but he went to work for free. Because he wanted to learn the industry and work for free for a very long time and show the world what he did.
Speaker 3:To a point where he became an entrepreneur.
Speaker 2:There are tons of things that you can do. I really want to stand out.
Speaker 3:I was a broadcast journalism major. I spent two years interning for free and make a dime.
Speaker 1:To bring the value and continue to ask questions.
Speaker 3:I think I'd rather pay than to take a cox.
Speaker 1:To strad this point. I have seen.
Speaker 3:Social media and really become a game changer.
Speaker 1:I think you got to do what Victor is doing To be remarkable, to become experts In a very short amount of time Without bringing a lot of value.
Speaker 4:Quite frankly.
Speaker 3:But on social media.
Speaker 1:Just being active With the things that they're doing.
Speaker 3:And also being a blue genie.
Speaker 1:Everywhere I see him, I just always think of the blue genie.
Speaker 4:And not doing a lot of transactions.
Speaker 1:I think he was the loudest voice For the longest time there were people podcasting 2009.
Speaker 2:Sean Terry, he was talking about.
Speaker 1:You couldn't go anywhere without knowing who Sean Terry was. I think I understand now why I'm really impressed. You know you might want to do something like it grinds my gears when they don't pick up their phones.
Speaker 2:You're remarkable. You only have one way of making money.
Speaker 1:I want to give you my money Deep on question 6. Alright, liam, what about you? Send me a text bro.
Speaker 4:Steve gave you a recipe.
Speaker 3:You are not worth a strategy Cookie of the year. Game changing type.
Speaker 2:I think people undervalue the opportunity that is available, but I don't think that every single one has to be a marring the meat up. If you want to get into this industry, just go and meet all the people that are doing the business Steve gave you. They've only been in a couple of years.
Speaker 4:Value that you're trying to go from.
Speaker 2:You also have to understand that you may not make a lot of combinations Out of the game, the exchange Absolutely, we have to bring value.
Speaker 3:I think Jason Lewis One of the most profitable business owners what you're not making today.
Speaker 2:What you're making. He went to work for free For real estate investors. He went to work for free. I would do coffee every day If the person who I talked to and worked for free for a very long time, and then worked it way up, go do this. Take action and then come back when I have another problem. I spent two years interning for free.
Speaker 1:I didn't have money. I was making this available To bring the value. You want to buy me coffee. You want to take massive action To bring the value Of coffee.
Speaker 3:I have seen you make a great point. I used to do that a lot, I did it for years when I would sit down and give an hour to my time To the industry, to become experts In a very short amount of time Without bringing a lot of value.
Speaker 2:And those sit downs, but on social media Just being active and not doing a lot of transactions, just doing a lot of self promotion, I got skeptic about doing that.
Speaker 4:It's not that I never did it.
Speaker 2:Show me the hugs, because I would see people.
Speaker 4:Train, my energy Train my time. I'm sacrificing family time.
Speaker 2:Business time.
Speaker 4:And they wouldn't take action, and it's a really really, really bad point.
Speaker 2:It grinds my gears when they don't pick up their phones. They only have one way of making money. I want to give you my money. It's a Friday, energy Just pick up the phone. Send me a text, bro. Get ready to go into the weekend. That's where that's at.
Speaker 1:But then nobody does anything on the weekend.
Speaker 3:I'm a firm believer of Do what you say. You are going to do so, mr Self promotion.
Speaker 1:Over there Is going to go ahead and get himself on the board. People that are doing the business.
