Top 5 Takeaways from Tyler Austin

5. Education is a key to success in starting your real estate business. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, take courses, find a mentor, ask someone for help, and mastermind courses are super helpful. 

4. Connections with local business owners can open the doors to getting deals done. Sometimes you may need help with a city zoning or other matter, or you may get leads for new and different projects or properties coming available, or connections to partners or private money sources, or even a hot lead. Your local Chamber of Commerce is a great resource, but you have to be involved regularly to make it work for you.

3. All the data you need is available, you just need a system to organize it, strip out the information you don’t need, and make it usable for your business. However, simply buying data is not efficient — you need to be able to extract the important data and discard the irrelevant. Software is invaluable and a big time-saving tool to get you accurate data quickly and easily. You don’t need to spend a lot of money on data, you just need to use the right tools to clean up the mountains of data available.

2. Your team is critical to your success. A big myth in real estate is that you need a lot of salespeople. Hire people to do the things you either are not good at or don’t like to do. Don’t over-hire; keep your staff lean and focused. If your people aren’t getting results, it may be your management of them, or they may be in the wrong role or the wrong person for the job. Not getting results doesn’t mean you need more people, you may need better training or different people.

1. Using data and combining it with user accounts from social media can make contacting potential sellers easy. Having a third party who knows the potential seller make an introduction is a fantastic way to get in the door with some degree of authority. Most people have the same or similar usernames on their email, Facebook, Instagram, etc., and you can often find them and connect through those media. 

Bonus Takeaway:  People and data are the two most valuable things to your business. Hire good, motivated people who use the data to connect with people in the community. You have to talk to people. Real voicemails lead to real conversations, which lead to real deals and real help for people. It’s not always that you’re buying someone’s house at a certain price, but you’re helping them out of a tough situation by getting them cash when they really need it. That happens much more frequently when you use data to find people, and use communication to find out what they really need.
