They share their story of building an enormous client base by being themselves, using their strengths and developing an in-person and online brand that lets their potential clients say, “YES! These are the agents for me!” Building trust is the most important way to attract clients in real estate and we talk all about how they consistently grow bringing in clients they love.

How to transition from residential to commercial real estate with Adam Gilbert

Episode
Episode 6 interviews Palm Spring’s Adam Gilbert, a residential and commercial real estate broker and investor. Justin met Adam through Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) and he was so impressed with the generous and professional way that Adam networked and built new connections in business. Being in the real estate ecosystem as well, we know this is such a critical pillar of building business so Adam joined Justin and Kelly to talk about his longstanding ability to create and nurture relationships — even during the evolution of his career and managing multiple areas of law, local government and real estate.
Justin and Kelly also reflect on the the high emotions that are running in real estate and business ownership during civil unrest and a global pandemic and how that is impacting commerce, security in employment and entrepreneurship, home life and the ability to feel safe. “Security is a fallacy” is a concept we discuss to better cope with the perceived lack of safety at every turn these days, whether you are running a company, handling real estate transactions or are an employee.

Justin and Kelly also talk about some real estate business basics including life as an entrepreneur and all that comes with it. What kind of company office do you want to work in? What kind of work life balance do you want? Do real estate agents dream of having both the independence of total freedom and working on a team? What kind of brand are you aligning yourself with when you join a real estate office? All of these things dictate the kind of brand you carry in your presentation to new clients and keeping a Beginner’s Mind to keep growing your business.
