Introducing Offerin' Real Estate Insights, the podcast "where we talk real problems, real stories, and real solutions in the world of real estate".
Join hosts Darren, Ben Walkley, and Kevin Wasie, the co-founders of Offerin and seasoned real estate experts, as they dive into the critical aspects of the real estate industry. Kevin, founder of Exactly Real Estate and Offerin, has been an agent since 2013, selling 100-120 houses a year. Ben, who has been in real estate since 2003, is the CEO of Fireland Title and founded Fireland School to teach continuing education. Their shared mission is to spread education and bless others through their professions by focusing on truth and transparency.
This podcast addresses the significant pain points experienced by both real estate agents and consumers in a market often characterized by chaos and a lack of clear communication.
For Real Estate Agents:
- Discover how the traditional offer process is messy, manual, and costing agents more time and sanity than it should. Learn how agents can spend 3 to 5 hours of administrative time on a single offer, leading to missed personal and family moments.
- Understand the chaos of managing offers that come in various formats—text, email, DocuSign, or Loop—often leading to offers being missed or improperly presented.
- Gain insights into how to stand out in a highly competitive market where 75% of agents sell five or fewer houses per year.
- Learn to leverage Offerin as a premier offer delivery portal that streamlines the process of receiving and communicating offers, ensuring organization and consistency. This allows agents to offer a great experience and result.
- Find out how to reduce administrative time and emotional stress, allowing you to be present at your kids' baseball games and dance recitals. This is presented as a form of "self-care" for agents.
For Home Buyers and Sellers (through their Agents):
- Explore how the lack of transparency in real estate transactions can lead to consumer distrust and a feeling of being "taken advantage of".
- Learn how Offerin provides full transparency, allowing sellers to be informed and involved in the offer process, relieving their anxiety and stress.
- Understand how a good agent, equipped with the right tools and processes, can act as a trusted guide, helping clients make empowered and confident decisions.
Beyond the Offer:
- The podcast delves into market volatility, explaining that constant change is the "one consistency in real estate", and how a strong foundational business built on "people, process, and technology" can thrive in any market.
- Discussions cover essential topics for both buyers and sellers, including evaluating property value, understanding financial tools, and negotiating offers with strategic insight beyond just money. The emphasis is on making wise, objective decisions based on data and market analysis.
- Listeners will also learn about building a strong team and navigating the complex "contract to close" phase, which involves inspections, appraisals, financing, and title clearing.
