Episode 114 – Lorraine Jordan

Listen On The Podcast

Welcome back to our 114th episode of the Launch Your Farm Show where I interview Lorraine Jordan who runs a super successful team in Simcoe County with Keller Williams.

Join Lorraine on an inspiring journey from a teenage customer service worker to a real estate prodigy at just 18 years old! Today, she unveils the valuable lessons she’s learned throughout her career and reveals the essential secrets for agents to achieve unparalleled success in this industry.

Prepare to be amazed as Lorraine and her team average a staggering 400 sales annually, with Lorraine herself accomplishing over 100 sales each year. Astonishingly, they’ve notched up a remarkable 10,000 sales to date, all in an area with a population of just 20,000 people.

In this episode, Lorraine and I talk about:

• Why it’s critical for agents to have a clear goal and making that goal a “MUST” in your life.

• Lorraine shares how she uses “worst case scenario” thinking and then accepts that, then creates a plan to get what she wants in her business.

• What Lorraine has learned about how mindset affects your business and what stops you from achieving wild success over the next 5 years.

• A SUPER easy way to use “end in mind” goals to reverse engineer and create a plan that you can actually stick with and stay on track to your success.

• How to become financially free by investing in real estate and helping others accomplish the same goals in their life as well.

• Plus a ton of other ideas that you can use to grow your geographic farm!

About Our Guest

Albie Vas from Keller Williams in Las Vegas

I have been a licensed real estate agent in Las Vegas for 15 years( 14 with KW) but have been involved in different aspects of real estate since 2004 when my wife became a licensed agent. I’m a BOLD Grad and Tech Ambassador for our office.

I’ve worked in the best conditions (when it felt as though everyone was handed a house), to the worse and toughest economic downfall that hit our market. These times enabled me to adjust my strategies in order to help my clients but also remain a successful agent, where I saw many of my colleagues leave the business.

All these obstacles I overcame have made me the successful agent I am today. Throughout my real estate career, I’ve also spoken on several panels regarding using the internet and other technology for real estate. My last speaking engagement was for the Oklahoma Association of Realtors, which encompassed the entire state.

In the past, I had the opportunity to assist in co-writing a book that’s on Amazon’s best sellers for Real Estate books. The book is called “Luxury Homes Selling Mastery” and I was honored to have been asked by the author for my input.

Welcome back to our 107^th episode of the Launch Your Farm Show where I interview Andrea Waltz who is the co-author of the amazing book Go For No.

Today Andrea shares how she started out in the retail space in sales and management and moved her way up through the company and handling training for their offices. She learned that you need to be willing to hear no more often in order to hear yes if you want to succeed in your life, business and relationships.

Andrea has spent the last 20+ years teaching others how to reprograming how they think about failure, rejection and how they handle the word “No”. This has led to a long career helping others change their lives and in fact was one of the books that help me start Launch Your Farm!

In this episode Andrea and I talk about:

Why “no” is a more important word than “yes” and how it can re-shape your life.
Andrea shares that the right mindset is the foundation of growth and will help you remove the mental blocks stopping you from succeeding.
What you can do to track your success and how to create a baseline with a “no goal” that will help keep you motivated and stay on track.
A SUPER easy way to get uncomfortable in a controlled way and how to use that uncomfortableness to grow yourself and hit your wildest goals.
How to create a “no awareness” in your life and business and how that can help you reframe your strategies.

Episode 99 – Laura Vandette

Listen On The Podcast

Welcome back to our 99^th episode of the Launch Your Farm Show where I interview Laura Vandette with the Bright Realty Team in Hamilton.

Today Laura shares how she overcame her fear of door knocking and cold calling by putting her efforts into community building. She has accomplished a truly successfully ongoing event in her community that brings together local residents, local businesses and people from all over to participate in her massive community garage sale.

Laura’s passion for serving the community she lives in has led her to create some amazing business opportunities as well as build an ever growing database of locals in her community. This has really helped Laura solidify herself as a true local expert and ambassador in her community.

In this episode Laura and I talk about:

Why she chose to give back to her farm with an incredible community garage sale and how it’s impacted her business over the years.
Laura shares how she went from around 70 participants her first year to over 180 participants this year!
What strategies she used to connect with the homeowners to drastically increase her referrals and strengthen relationships.
A SUPER easy way agents can start a garage sale or something similar in their farm.
How she plans to grow her event and bring even more value to her community in the future.
Plus a ton of other ideas that you can use to grow geographic farm!
