In residential real estate, the "industry" tends to favor those agents who have closed a lot of deals. ?? This is known as "volume," which is the total added dollar amount of the sales you close in a calendar year. This is also why teams are widely considered a more popular model today, as they are capable of closing more volume than solo agents. The problem, high volume doesn't necessarily mean high profit. High volume can come with a hefty price tag in some instances, but it just depends. ???? Sean Mooney?&?Tim Garrity?dive into the cost of high volume, and why the industry is possibly measuring the wrong metric for agent success. Tim's math skills are on point in this one, check his calculation; haha. ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? Listen to B?R Episodes: https://lnkd.in/ekRUbz_6 ?? ?? Watch B?R Episodes: https://lnkd.in/eHwjDRZh ??

The current insurance environment is what?Sean Mooney?has repeatedly referred to as a "hard market." ?? Meaning, insurance premiums are going up for consumers and insurance carriers are taking a more conservative approach on new business, as well as renewals. Which also means, switching carriers to save a few bucks can sometimes cause unforeseen issues with your coverage. ?? In this Bricks & Risk Podcast ep, Sean breaks down what he is seeing out there on the street, he talks about ways to save money with your carrier, and?Tim Garrity?does his best to keep up; haha.? ?? ?? ?? ??

We had fun making this one, folks. Not only is it a topic that hits home with both?Sean Mooney?&?Tim Garrity, but it's also a concept that rarely gets discussed within the real estate and insurance industries. ?? Reason being, marketing "ideas" come out every day and they're easy to find; right there for the taking on socials, YouTube, you name it. Marketing "plans" are harder to create, organize, and follow through with. On this Bricks & Risk Podcast ep, we dive into the difference between a marketing idea and a marketing plan, and also provide insight on how to distinguish one from the other. Nuggets galore! ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? Listen to B?R Here: https://lnkd.in/ekRUbz_6 ?? ?? Watch B?R Here: https://lnkd.in/eHwjDRZh ??
