Tweetables:

“We just have to ask enough people for a deal, and you’re going to get a deal. Ask enough people for a listing, ask enough people for a sale, and if you’re a real estate agent today – listen, hats of to social media, and video, and content, and all of that but, listen, nothing beats old fashioned prospecting. Nothing.” — @CoreIntentions [0:11:45]

“I believe that it’s the same thing that will make me successful today, and it is a commitment, dedication, and desire. I love real estate.” — @CoreIntentions [0:31:12]

“People’s quality of life decreases in the real estate space, so what I want to do, as a coach and a trainer, is to help people live a better quality life, a more balanced lifestyle. Time management is a big thing, and I think people systematically don’t know how to live, and then they run into all this chaos or they have a heart attack, and it’s just simply because your life is stressed.” — @CoreIntentions [0:33:51]
