How To Stay Successful In Real Estate With Jennifer Tucker

Becoming a real estate agent is not as straightforward as getting a license and selling properties. This might explain why 80% of real estate agents quit in their first year. Maintaining and growing your real estate business no matter what stage it’s in not only requires hard work and effort but routines and habits that will ensure the longevity of your business. 

If you are going to put in all the hard work into starting, you might as well secure a successful future for not only yourself but your business.

Listen in to this episode to find out how to develop effective routines in three basic steps.

It’s for you whether you’ve been looking for a new way to invest, or just a way to start investing, as well as experienced real estate flippers and landlords.

Gifts & Recommendations

In addition to giving the number which you can text for our free training in this episode, Jennifer also wrote a book, Become a Rock Star Real Estate Agent: 7 Steps to Make $100k, which you can get by clicking the link. 

What are some necessary skills needed to maintain a profitable real estate business?

Being consistent and persistent are fundamental traits to adopt if you want to maintain a profitable and successful real estate business. Start by creating some financial goals for yourself personally and for your business and break them down into monthly, weekly, and daily routines. Doing this makes your objectives easily trackable and establishes positive daily habits that intentionally advance you and your business’s end goals. Sticking to these attracts the investors and clients you want to work with most and allows other opportunities to fall in place.

What piece of advice would you give someone who is just starting in real estate?

Finding and following a consistent method helps get you in front of your clients and competition. Jennifer suggests sticking to these three easy steps when you want to maintain a profitable real estate business.   

Step 1 – Pregame

The very first thing Jennifer recommends is to do your research. Gather as much data as you can on the client or property. One resource Jennifer likes to employ is her local municipal where she checks the background of a property and any current violations it has

Step 2 – The Game

This is the time to get in front of the client to make an impression and converse. Communication is crucial to maintaining relationships with potential clients and partners. Jennifer compares this time to a basketball game. When the other team has the ball, and you are on defense, you mirror the player you are defending while trying to anticipate their next decision/move. Real estate works similarity in that you become a chameleon, adapting and exemplifying your client’s tone, behaviors, and body language. Identifying the next move so you can be best prepared. 

Step 3 – Post Game

Now it is time for the follow-up. Jennifer has a simple procedure she follows, calls, and sends a card. She also makes sure to send a weekly email with updates on available properties and opportunities to ensure she is in front of all possible prospects.

What is the most important thing someone should keep in mind when trying to be successful in real estate?

Jennifer says creating and maintaining a routine greatly contributes to the overall success of your real estate business. Intentionally building daily habits to reach your financial and personal goals and sticking to them forms a healthy business model and encourages the rest of your team to follow suit. Even if its as simple as going into the office every day, as Jennifer does, building a structured routine ensures success that will last. 

Summary

There is more to real estate success than selling a lot of properties or making good investments. Creating and maintaining goals and habits that encourage longevity is the key to success.

It says today we have the privilege to learn from a woman who, what it says written right here. It says leaving the paycheck behind,

Speaker 2 (01:15):

Um, who maybe who has left the paycheck job behind.

Speaker 1 (01:19):

Got it, got it. Got it. Okay. That makes sense. Who is paycheck to paycheck world behind maybe paycheck to paycheck job behind and prior to her career. Okay, got it. Now today we have the privileged to learn from a woman who left the paycheck job behind and prior to her current real estate, she was a waitress, a massage therapist, and a teacher guys, but all that changed when through, but all that changed when her mother threw a prospect in the trash. And wouldn’t is that right?

Speaker 2 (02:00):

Yeah, she threw, it was a lead on written on paper.

Speaker 1 (02:04):

Okay. Got it. Got it. Okay. I was thinking too literal. Okay. Got it. Got it. Got it. Okay.

Speaker 2 (02:34):

Speaker 1 (02:43):

Thanks. We’re glad to have you. We’re glad to have you now, Jennifer, before we dive into it, can you tell us a little bit about your background and where you’re from?

Speaker 2 (02:51):

Uh, yeah, so I’m born and raised on long Island in New York. And, uh, uh, yeah, my background, as you said, kind of was, uh, dabbled in a little bit of everything and I couldn’t really find my comfort zone, um, into how I could be this entrepreneur and generate my own wealth. Then it was it wasn’t until I, uh, started real estate that I realized, ah, I could really do it this way. And that’s kinda kind of my little bit of a story.

Speaker 1 (03:21):

Awesome. Awesome. Well, we definitely thank you for that now guys, before we dive into the exactly how show, and now, before we dive into exactly how to get in front of your prospects and your competition, Jennifer, you contribute a lot of your success to being consistent and persistent. Why do you think this has played such a huge role in your success?

Speaker 2 (03:42):

Um, he, yeah, that’s a really good question. Um, it’s the consistent behaviors that I’ve noticed, um, that has led me to really attract the clients and, and the investors that I truly like to work with. Um, it’s contributed to my success because without it, you’re on this kind of journey that is just up and down and up and down, uh, when we do those consistent behaviors on a daily basis, um, and be really persistent about it and in our own kind of metrics and the wa y that we can maneuver about it, um, it just really happens and everything kind of falls into place. Uh, so that’s, that’s why I really contribute to it, to it. I just saw a change in my business when I started. And it was a simple thing as just coming into the office every day.

Speaker 1 (04:33):

I love that. So basically it’s being intentional about repetition because it’s like you’re going to form a habit one way or the another. So, so intentionally form good habits and be consistent with those,

Speaker 2 (04:44):

Those habits can paint. It depends upon, you know, your style as a salesperson or an investor, right? Um, so for me, I had to reverse engineer everything, meaning what was my goal financially and what I wanted to earn. And then I had to break it down into what that looked like on a monthly basis and on a weekly basis and then on a daily basis. So it was this funneling kind of effect that really showed me that, that daily habits of very day, even though they’re just small in my new, in the moment they actually create this, um, more of a, a bigger picture for

Speaker 1 (05:23):

Awesome. Awesome, understood. Now guys, what makes the exactly how financial freedom podcasts and YouTube show unique is that every show comes with a detailed action plan.

So all you have to do is check that out. So Jennifer, let’s dive right into the steps of getting in front of your prospects and your competition. Now, before the show, we broke it down into three basic steps, and I like your analogies. You like to put things into a sports perspective, and you said basically those three steps are number one, the pregame number two, the game number three, the post game. Can you break that down for us a little bit more?

Speaker 2 (07:17):

Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Well, I’m an athlete. So I just look at everything from, from that kind of spirit, uh, perspective. So yeah, the pregame for me is just doing all the research and getting all the data upfront. I mean, I love to study my mother’s called me the eternal student. So the research for me in real estate is really what I love and kind of thrive in. Right. I love getting all the background in it. I love going to the municipalities, checking out if there’s any violations or anything going on, or I just love all the research. So the pregame three would be kind of be that first step. Now the game for me is where I kind of see myself more as an agent or at least getting in front of the prospect to have a conversation with them. And to do that, I’ve learned that I had to become a chameleon, um, in the sense that, you know, everyone I’m talking to isn’t, first of all, it’s not like me and everyone that I’m talking to is different.

Speaker 2 (08:15):

So I need to, I needed to mirror my own behavior, tones, speech, and even body language to match their own. So to me, that was Yvette’s being in the game. I mean, it’s just like playing defense in basketball, right? You’ve learned, you’re taught to kind of mirror what the offensive player is doing. So this way you can kind of anticipate what the net what’s going to happen. Um, and then the post game obviously is the followup. Um, I loved, uh, I loved talking to people on the phone and then I always send a card and those are two simple steps that I, and, and kind of routines that I use to keep in front of my prospect. I’m not this huge CRM girl. I know a lot of people will talk to you about CRM, but I believe that the people that want to work with me are going to work with me in the now moment, as opposed to later on. Um, I do send like a weekly email to them as well as let them know what’s kind of going on in the market. Um, and that’ll be sorta, those are kind of my followup and post game activities that I’ll do.

Speaker 1 (09:19):

And what is your primary focus when it comes to investing? What are you primary focus on

Speaker 2 (09:24):

For me, for my investment? Um, cause I’ve dabbled over as well. Um, definitely more of a fixed and bold. I love the rentals. Um, most, mostly, uh B’s and C kind of properties. Um, in, in BNC neighborhoods, I would say, um, I just, you know, I’ve went into real estate thinking that I could help people and I can still help people as an investor because everyone really needs a place to live and no one wants to live, you know, in a, you know, in an ugly apartment or an ugly unit. So why can’t I be that person or landlord to really help them out so that this way they can feel secure and raise their family and in a beautiful,

Speaker 1 (10:07):

Awesome, awesome. I like that. So it’s like you say, you came in at to kind of help folks and, and you find out your niche and how you could, you know, use your talents and skill set to do that.

Speaker 2 (10:16):

Yeah, exactly, exactly. I mean, I’m a new investor myself, so I’m a real estate and being the agent has really given me that leg up. So then I’m able to kind of, um, you know, take the next step over into investing.

Speaker 1 (10:31):

Understood. Understood. So you do have a license, you have your realtor’s license.

Speaker 2 (10:35):

Yeah. I’m definitely a licensed the M definitely licensed agent I’m associate broker as well in our Inmar company. So, um, so yeah, it depends up. So I’m able to kind of switch roles depending upon who I’m sitting in front of

Speaker 1 (10:52):

Understood, understood. Well, Jennifer, if folks out here wanting to get in contact with you, you know, how would they reach you?

Speaker 2 (10:59):

Uh, yeah, they can text, um, rockstar agent one to eight, five, three, seven, seven. They can download my mobile business card and we can stay in touch that way. Uh, can always reach out to me through Facebook. I’m a one social media kinda kind of stamped myself. I’m too much of it kind of drives me a little bit of crazy, but yeah, social media on Jennifer Pacino, Tucker real estate, um, and I’d love to, you know, it can always download my book, become a rockstar real estate agent. They can connect you.

Speaker 1 (11:31):

That is awesome. So what is the name of your book?

Speaker 2 (11:34):

Yeah, so the book is called become a rock star real estate agent seven steps to make a hundred K a year. Um, the a hundred K kind of Mark as a real estate agent was really a goal for me in the beginning. Um, and now I noticed that I’m about 80, you know, in that, in our brokerage of about eight out of 10 agents were leaving and either quitting the business or going someplace else. It’s, that’s kind of true with national statistics that about 86% of agent new agents leave the business after two years. And I developed a training program, um, that we, um, that we put into to our brokerage and realize that it was working for agents and they would stay on board and they were being prosperous and making money earning commissions. So I realized that I, that if it was working just locally, had to work, you know, nationally, and that was the incentive of writing the book to help, to help newer agents.

Speaker 1 (12:33):

That is awesome. I love it. I love it. Well guys, um, you know, as a reminder, if at any point in the show, you guys like what you’re hearing like I am, you know, make sure that you give us a thumbs up so that you can subscribe to this show and never miss an episode. Your engagement is what drives us and keeps us doing this for the community for absolutely free. Now, Jennifer, you know, what do you think your life would be like if you never watched your mom throw that prospect away and you’re still working as a waitress or a massage therapist?

Speaker 2 (13:00):

Hey, that’s a really good question. You know, um, I was a solo parent at the time as well. Single mom kind of still living at home because of finances. And I would hate to think that I would still be in that constant cycle of going to work working the nine to five and struggling to put my daughter, give her, give her the life that she deserves and, and, and show her what it’s up to really overcome diversity in that, in that sense of single Parenthood. Um, I would hate to think that I would still be there, but I think it could have been possible. And real estate has just provided me an abundant life and the life that I truly had outlined for myself and put down on paper.

Speaker 1 (13:51):

Absolutely. I love hearing that. And that, that is awesome. I mean, that’s what we’re in this sport is for, you know, financial freedom, you know, for different type of freedoms. Like you say, the freedom to just be out of that rat race, so to speak, you know, hustling and bustling, you know, trying to get to, and from work on a daily basis, you know, coming home, having limited time to spend with yourself or even your family for that matter. So, I mean, you’re right. Real estate is an Avenue that opens up the doorway for us, you know, to freedom.

Speaker 2 (14:18):

Absolutely absolutely mean she’s, uh, uh, play softball a lot on, so we’re like gone all weekend. I’m couldn’t do that, you know, any other place, I don’t think, um, you know, unless I was in the corporate world working, but you know, you still work the weekends these days too, even in corporate. So I, I’m still working on the phone while she’s playing, but it’s, I’m, I’m there, I’m proud I’m able to be present and think that’s the most important thing, right. I’m able to kind of put down the phone or answer the call when I want to, or when I need to. And I have systems in place now that you know, that, you know, I don’t want him to answer your phone in that moment, then, you know, we can schedule, call things like that. Um, so, so that, that freedom, financial freedom and time freedom is really been the best thing for me.

Speaker 1 (15:13):

Can’t put a price tag on it,

Speaker 2 (15:15):

No way, no way, no way. And I don’t think she, I think she would say the same thing. Like she’s lucky. Um, you know, she says it constantly, I’m pretty lucky to have, you know, you still, by my side, given that you know that it’s just me kind of helping her out. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:30):

Know that support. Absolutely. Absolutely. That means a lot. Well, Jennifer, we have reached a part of the show that is called the rapid fire session.
