They’ve even reached the point in Season 4 of taking a vote on whether or not to finish out the season. (Spoiler Alert: the season will go on!) However, in the words of Hugh Jackman: “My dear friends, Terry, Megan, Christian, and Todd, don’t give up on Season 4 yet, especially Episode 7, as I know it will be your best! The show will go on. By the way, I’ll see you at Red Lobster.” With that, we power through the madness and finish strong!

Episode 196 - (Season 4, Episode 6) - Train the Virtual Brain 09/17/2020

Episode 196 - (Season 4, Episode 6) - Train the Virtual Brain Episode 196 (Season 4, Episode 6) Train the Virtual Brain One of the most frequent questions that we get from agents when considering making a move to an all-virtual operation is…”Where will we get our training?” The Boom Team tackles the options available to agents and brokerages when considering a virtual brokerage model. In this episode, we dive into training options for both agents and brokerages. As a tangent, Todd will discuss one of the ickiest things ever shared on the podcast, but not before showing his complete lack of knowledge, (and Terry’s amazing love), of musicals. Let’s be honest, The Team will spend more time talking musicals than real estate on this one. Just a heads up!

Episode 195 - (Season 4, Episode 5) - Communication from Anywhere 09/10/2020

Episode 195 - (Season 4, Episode 5) - Communication from Anywhere Episode 195 (Season 4, Episode 5) Communication from Anywhere Communication is key to any relationship—especially virtual ones. Whether it’s between you and your staff, you and your clients, or you and your agents, you just HAVE to communicate effectively. If not, those around you start to get “wandering eyes”, which is bad for long- term business. (Wow! That was about the longest we’ve been able to go with a serious grouping of sentences! Enough of that!) Along with a focus on communication, in this episode we embolden you to make up words that have already been made up—as Todd and Megan do. We also give CPR to a dead person. When we finally make it over to serious content later in the episode, you can listen to the Boom’s five “Lightning Round” tips on how to do this whole communication thing right! Enjoy all this—and more—on the latest version of the Boom Real Estate Podcast!
