How to 10x Your Real Estate Business While Doing Your Hobbies with Jerod Lee
Hey there, fellow adventurers! Matt here, your trusty guide to all things real estate and entrepreneurship. Today, I've got an exciting tale to share with you about the secrets to building a harmonious and cohesive team environment. So buckle up and get ready for a journey filled with personal connections, shared interests, and a dash of mountain biking!
Picture this: a bustling real estate agency called MHC Realty, standing tall with a team of six agents, led by the charismatic and insightful Jerod Lee. Their mission? Serving their community and providing exceptional care to homebuyers and sellers. But here's the twist—they don't just want to establish rapport; they aim to build lasting friendships based on shared interests and priorities. Talk about taking the real estate game to a whole new level!
Now, you might be wondering, how does Jerod manage to create such a harmonious and cohesive environment within his team? Well, my curious wanderers, let me unveil the secrets to his success.
First and foremost, Jerod understands the importance of treating team members as friends. He believes that by fostering strong relationships and creating a collaborative and supportive work environment, the team can thrive together. Imagine going to work every day surrounded by people who feel like family—sounds like a dream, doesn't it?
But that's not all. Jerod's approach extends beyond his team; he incorporates his personal interests and activities into client interactions. Picture this: instead of your typical client appreciation events, Jerod organizes gatherings around activities he genuinely loves, like mountain biking or catching a movie. By engaging in shared interests and hobbies, he forges a stronger bond with his clients and creates an integrated experience that goes beyond the transactional nature of real estate.
Now, let's zoom in on Jerod's interactions. He loves both one-on-one conversations and group settings. When he engages in deep discussions on topics like politics, religion, or child-rearing, he delves into the profound and thought-provoking. It's through these conversations that deeper connections and understandings are formed. But Jerod is no stranger to the power of group dynamics either. He relishes bringing like-minded individuals together for a good time, fostering an atmosphere of camaraderie and shared laughter.
But how does he expand his network, you ask? Initially, Jerod relied on organic methods, steering clear of social media. However, he eventually embraced platforms like YouTube and podcasting, where he could showcase their activities and interests. These platforms attract people who resonate with their lifestyle, creating a space for genuine connections. And hey, who doesn't love a good podcast that offers real and honest answers, not just sales pitches?
Speaking of podcasts, Jerod and his fellow agent, Dr. Bledsoe, started their own show. Their goal? Sharing their personalities, providing educational content, and building credibility within the multifamily real estate industry. They wanted to strike a balance between being relatable and informative, creating a valuable resource for potential clients. And who knows, as their podcast grows, their community might provide them with even more questions and topics to explore.
Now, let's embark on a different adventure—the story of Jerod's upbringing in a Navy family. Moving frequently brought both positives and negatives to his life. The exposure to different cultures, food, and recreational opportunities was exhilarating, but maintaining lifelong friendships posed a challenge. Eventually, Jerod settled down in Boise, Idaho, a place that captured his heart with its cultural richness, outdoor adventures, and diverse seasons. Trust me, folks, Boise sounds like a slice of paradise!
But let's not forget the core of Jerod's business—matching clients with agents who share similar personalities and priorities. He understands that a good personality fit is just as crucial as expertise. By considering clients' preferred areas, types of homes, and priorities, he ensures a personalized and satisfying experience. And hey, he even uses tools like the DISC assessment to assess personalities and create the perfect agent-client match. Talk about going the extra mile!
As the conversation comes to a close, Jerod shares his vision for the future. Despite the challenges faced by real estate teams, he aims to prove that his team can beat the odds and thrive. Wildly successful agents, a stellar reputation, and a culture that agents love—these are the goals he envisions. And hey, it's not just about making more money elsewhere; it's about creating an environment where agents can excel and feel fulfilled.
