For the last 15 years at JohnHart, and for nearly three decades in my own career, I've found myself repeating the same lesson over and over again. The discount is never in the commission. The discount is in the lack of production. The discount is in the property that sells for less than it should. The discount is in the repairs that should have been negotiated. The discount is in the appraisal issue that wasn't handled properly. The discount is in the opportunities that were

JohnHarters, I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Los Angeles County Assessor Jeff Prang for a conversation that I believe every JohnHart agent should watch. His office oversees roughly 2.5 million properties, more than $2.2 trillion in assessed value, and serves as the foundation for over $27 billion in annual funding for schools, public safety, infrastructure, and local government services. The conversation covered Proposition 19, inheritance rules, reassessments

I spent time auditing about 20 of your Instagram profiles. Most of them don’t clearly say who you help, how you’re different, or why someone should reach out. That’s a problem, because your bio is the first thing people look at before they decide to follow you, DM you, or trust you. You don’t get a second chance there. Your Instagram bio is not a description. It’s a conversion tool. Here’s the standard I want across the board: Line 1: Who you help + result Line 2: Your advant

For years, agents have treated a CMA like a formality. Something you prepare after you get the appointment. Something you bring once you’re already in the door. That approach is outdated.

It’s the reps. But not just any reps. Yesterday, I posted about repetition. A few of you asked what reps actually matter. That’s the right question. Because doing more doesn’t move the needle. Doing the right things, consistently, does.

There are moments in this industry where the agents who understand what’s happening separate quickly from everyone else. This is one of those moments. For years, real estate has been built around reaction. Waiting for listings. Competing over the same inventory. Fighting for what already exists. Buyer Match changes that. From Reaction to Identification The goal is simple. Stop reacting. Start identifying. Instead of waiting for inventory to show up, Buyer Match allows you to

About 60 of us watched and discussed The Defiant Ones for almost seven hours. The feedback I got after was clear: “It was inspiring. But how do I apply that to my life and business?” This blog answers that. Rare is not a mood. Rare is not a slogan. Rare is built by process. If you want to become the only option in your market, you need a system you can repeat when you feel great, and when you feel tired, and when the market feels slow. Today we’re breaking rare into five pil
