Ep004: Tony Fabiano

Welcome to The Listing Agent Lifestyle Podcast. My name is Dean Jackson and I'm excited because today we've moving on in a series focusing on your business.

We started off the podcast with a series of three episodes looking at people who are a little further down the road in this listing agent lifestyle. We kicked it off with Tony Kalsi, who's just finished the four year case study to show what happens running the Getting Listings program, and how it created 11 times ROI on the investment over that time. Then we talked with Chuck Charlton, who's 12 years down the road and the impact these things we’re talking about has had on his business. Then last week we talked with Ron Reed, who was a new GoGoAgent user last year. He very quickly, even in the 30 day free trial got his first listing and went on to generate $55,000 from one area, starting with 400 homes.

Now, I want to focus on talking about your business. I've been getting emails from people who have listened to the first few episodes saying, "Wow, this is really interesting. Tell me more, how do I take the next step? Where do I start? How do I go to that level?".

One of those emails from Tony Fabiano in Toronto. I reached out to Tony and said, "Tony, let's do this. Let's come on and let's spend an hour and we'll talk about what's going on in your business. We'll talk about the elements of the listing agent lifestyle. We'll do some analysis on where the opportunities are in your business."

We just wrapped up that conversation. I'll tell you what, Tony couldn't be a nicer guy. We had a great conversation. He's really thoughtful. He's got a really good handle on where his business is coming from. He's primarily, which is a testament to who he is as a person, a repeat and referral business. He's got a nice business doing 30 plus transactions this year.

We dug in, looked at the numbers, decided what the key metrics are that driver those results, and how to maybe move the needle a little bit. The hour went very quick. We had a great conversation. I look forward to hearing great things from Tony over the next year, so stay tuned and enjoy this episode.

Ep003: Ron Reed

Welcome to the listing agent lifestyle podcast. My name is Dean Jackson and today, we have Ron Reed with us from Madison, Wisconsin.

Ron is finishing out our Getting Listings trifecta of shows that we started with Tony Kalsi and his four year case study, showing the ROI from doing Getting Listings in one neighborhood. And then Chuck Charlton who showed how continuing with the program for 10 years works out.

So today we have Ron Reed who joined us just over a year ago and in that one year, he really took off. He got his first listing in the first month of following the Getting Listings program, even before his free trial of GoGoAgent.com, even ended, and he's gone on to parlay that into a bigger area that he's mailing to.

Ron's a disciplined executor and I love that about him, but he's also very astute in measuring and tracking results of everything he does.

You're really going to enjoy this conversation.

Ep002: Chuck Charlton

Hello and welcome to The Listing Agent Lifestyle podcast. My name's Dean Jackson, and today we have a podcast for you. I mean a real podcast. We went over the hour, but I think you're going to agree that this is a really great conversation.

I have Chuck Charlton with me today. I first met Chuck and his beautiful wife Melissa about 12 years ago when they moved to a brand new area to start their real estate business, and I’ve been with them the whole way, working very closely setting up and helping them get started with the Getting Listings and Finding Buyers programs, and working all the time to, really without having the name for it, build a listing agent lifestyle.

Chuck is one of my favorite people to talk to. We've worked very closely over a lot of these years, and they've built an amazing business.

I think Chuck is the perfect next guest after you've just heard Tony Kalsi with the most recent four year case study, Chuck is the OG. The original.

When we first launched the Getting Listings program in 2005, or 2006, Chuck was the person who got the first listing from the program, before the course even ended, and has gone on to build an amazing business on the back of that, continuing to add to it.

He's a real student of the game. A real thoughtful, diligent executor, and I'm happy to share this conversation with you.
