If you view my site you will notice I do not post a lot of Blogs. I try not to move the air in front of my lips too often. I’ve been coaching real estate brokers since Jan. 1978. During that time I have met many fine brokers and real estate speakers.  My findings and conclusion are that very few so called Coaches really have no real life experience in real estate.  Meaning they have never been truly successful selling real estate, or for that matter, building a successful office. That is not to say their service is not worth what they are being paid. It just means that they copied other coaches and said to themselves I can deliver that message in a better format. In the end they regurgitate back what someone else said and that is all they really know. True coaching is, in my humble opinion, the marriage of actual experience in knowing how to grow a successful real estate company and the combination of utilizing true creativity to differentiate your clients from the lame competitor down the street. Remember, you would not ask a doctor to operate on you if they never performed one before. Be careful out there.
