Episode 029 with Jimmy Burgess

Finding Opportunity in a Tough Market

Opportunity is out there. This year, we’ve all seen agents leave the market. Less competition means more opportunities for you! You just have to be ready to go out and find them. Step number one is going to be lighting that fire to get things done. Jimmy’s advice? Look back at your most successful year. What were you doing? Who did you surround yourself with? Take some of the momentum you had in years past and inject it into this year – start doing the things you did when you were most successful!

Surround Yourself with the Right People

A big takeaway from our conversation was Jimmy’s reminder that "who you surround yourself with matters." We all have someone in our contact list who makes us feel energized after talking, whether it’s a friend, family member, or mentor. Call them up, check in, and avoid those folks who just want to talk about how bad everything is all the time! Jimmy also introduced us to his acronym "GAME"—Great Associations, Mentors, and Environment. If you’ve got GAME, you’ve got what it takes to be successful.

Content Creation for Real Estate Agents: What to Consume and Create

We’ve talked a lot about content creation on this podcast, but it’s great to hear Jimmy’s perspective as another successful podcaster. He’s been in the game for years, and the secrets to his success are his energy and consistency. He recommends getting into video – it shows your potential clients who you are and can position you as an expert in your area. We recommend limiting doomscrolling – hey, we’re all guilty of it, but once you shift your mindset from content consumer to creator, there’s no turning back.

Taking Consistent Action

Jimmy stressed the importance of consistent action to build momentum. He shared practical strategies like creating personalized video messages and staying connected with past clients. For example, sending settlement statements with a video message can leave a lasting impression while keeping us top of mind. Simple actions like these not only help us grow our business but also remind clients why they trusted us in the first place.

Jimmy left us feeling more motivated than ever, and we hope his insights do the same for you. Whether it’s reaching out to your network, embracing video, or just taking that first step, the key is to start today. Let’s make 2025 the year we take control and create momentum that carries us forward. For more from Jimmy, check out Episode 053 of Realestatable!
