<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The year was 2008.  </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was tired of working in a church basement doing mind-numbing administrative tasks.  So I quit.  </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I grew up in a family of real estate investors and was managing an apartment building I bought a couple years prior so it made sense to me to jump into real estate full-time by getting my sales license.  Unfortunately, I timed it just right that I started in sales as the WORLD's ECONOMY was collapsing -- yikes!  That meant it was "do or die" -- I had no choice but to make this a viable career.  However, with the real estate market spiraling, the traditional methods of door-knocking and cold-calling were not working <i>for me</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To "drum up" business, I did something unconventional for the time.  I got on Facebook.  I was told that Facebook was for only kids/teenagers, a fad/a "one-hit wonder" and a waste of time if I wanted to grow my business.  </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, thankfully by the end of 2008, those words proved to be oh so wrong.  I could not keep up with the leads so I had to start building a team.  But during all of this, I learned something.  That having a sales business is not a recipe with one size fitting all -- all people, markets, or seasons.  I was asked by my then managing brokers to share my strategies at the office by teaching some classes.  The more I talked to other agents, I realized my story was not unique in that they too had been told to fit a cookie-cutter mold that just was not a good fit for their season of life to achieve the desired business growth.  </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That was the beginning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have made it my mission for the last several years to help agents learn how to customize (thereby maximizing) their lead generation to incorporate their past careers, interests, hobbies, educational background and everyday life.  I wish someone had helped me do that and then I might not have gotten so many bumps and bruises going to the "school of hard-knocks".  </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I cannot change the past but you better believe I can change the future for upcoming entrepreneurs dealing with the same struggles.  Thus, I do not take it lightly each time I have been named a top national real estate coach/educator (6 national honors in the last 4 years).  </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">There is nothing wrong with a suit or dress off the rack. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But when your outfit is tailor-made, you no longer feel as flawed and your best features are accentuated. For instance, your calves are no longer labeled scrawny. Or, the tailor may have taken the embarrassing "thunder" out of your thighs. Flat, round, or wide no longer define your sense of fashion because you have stopped conforming your body to fit a fashion designer's standards. You now customize your own.<br /><br /><br />And so it is with customizing your lead generation strategy to fit your personality.<br /><br /><br />You can ignore how you are made to fit the latest hyped strategies. In time due to a poor fit, you either start to doubt yourself or you frustratedly throw off the ill-fitting trends after wasting likely money and energy. </span><br />

"Millennials Should NOT Buy Homes"

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">As featured in <span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://www.inman.com/2019/05/28/millennials-should-not-buy-homes-and-other-lies-consumers-fall-for/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>Inman News</b></span></a>. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Last week, I had the privilege of attending a social media conference with some of the most brilliant minds in social media. I heard some jaw-dropping insights. But there was one talk that had me floored:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>"It will take forever to save 20%, which most of us don't have especially considering our student loans. By the time we save 20%, years will have gone by and we could have invested that money elsewhere. Millennials should not buy homes but use that money for other investments," said the social media influencer matter-of-factly as a handful of us lounged around after the conference sessions.</i></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br /><br />SHUT. THE. FRONT. DOOR.<br /><br /><br />This was misinformation on several levels that I had to correct.  Unfortunately, I could tell this was not his first time using his influence to paint an inaccurate view of real estate but I could tell it would be his last.  I had to clue him (and the group) in on what we r</span><span style="font-size: large;">eal estate professionals know -- that there are many viable options for one's downpayment monies for a home. There are loan, downpayment and grant programs available and not just for the low income:</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Hello, Doctor's Programs (that lends millions for no downpayment) like at Fidelity Bank.</i><i><br /></i><i>Howdy, up to 10% matching for approved homebuyers with Unison.</i><i><br /></i><i>Why hi there, 100% closing costs paid by builders like Kerley Family Homes.</i><i><br /></i><i>How do you do, no downpayment options for qualified PhDs, accountants and financial analysts with lenders like Waterstone Mortgage.</i></span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Welcome to the party conventional, FHA, VA, USDA and other loans that only require a small (no, in some cases) downpayment. </span></i></blockquote>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-whET7hVOQus/XNneDWuEgOI/AAAAAAAAZvM/OL6msVBOgGUUrif0St11gVNhF92j-lwaACLcBGAs/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2019-05-13%2Bat%2B5.05.25%2BPM.png"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-whET7hVOQus/XNneDWuEgOI/AAAAAAAAZvM/OL6msVBOgGUUrif0St11gVNhF92j-lwaACLcBGAs/s640/Screen%2BShot%2B2019-05-13%2Bat%2B5.05.25%2BPM.png" width="640" /></a></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">It's a Myth that Homeownership is Out of Reach; Let's Change the Narrative</span></i></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br /><br />But who cares what real estate professionals know IF it is quietly kept to ourselves. You already know, "The squeaky wheel is what gets the oil".  We must squeak, ya'll! This is why in social media workshops I get on my "soapbox" that WE, real estate professionals, must be on social media AND we must be advocates (a.k.a. influencers) for housing. <br /><br />We must change the narratives that say:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>"Home ownership is out of reach"</i></span><span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span><span style="font-size: large;"><i>"Buying a home robs your savings"</i></span><span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span><span style="font-size: large;"><i>"I can't buy a home with student loans"</i></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />And whatever else is being spoken outside the earshot of trusted real estate professionals.<br /><br />Often, in social media workshops, I hear from agents attending that they are done with social media.  They are over seeing pictures of the OOTD (outfit of the day), what someone just ate or whatever other perfectly angled and staged photo is on display as reality.  Yet, I encourage all that we must remain and become active on social media to make sure homeownership has an advocate... us.  </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">We must tell the heartwarming and triumphant stories of homebuying clients achieving what is still an American Dream for many (with their consent of course).  We are first-hand eyewitnesses.  We are first RE responders with a story to tell (again with consent).  We must share the programs that make homeownership feasible.  </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">In every class after I have gotten on my "soapbox", there is a moment of silence accompanied by smiles and smirks as attendees start to ponder how many programs could benefit homebuyers (if those buyers only knew) and the power of using social media to get the word out.  Here in Georgia, for example, we have roughly 66 programs that again are not limited to only low-income buyers.  That could translate into just one post a week for well over a year (for those of you that have been racking your brain about what content to post online).</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Imagine the good and goodwill that would be created just by us being true champions of the best that the real estate industry has to offer would-be buyers?</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Yes, if you start sharing these wonderful programs that most consumers are completely unaware and the real-life success stories of your clients using them, you will generate leads.  That is a necessary byproduct so that you stay in business!  Beyond an individual agent's success, however, is the big picture -- that by standing up for our industry in a space where there is growing, misinformed apathy, we become the lifeblood that energizes and keeps our human connections and stories </span><span style="font-size: large;">at the center of real estate</span><span style="font-size: large;"> (not just automation and humanless transactions).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I am all about doing <a href="https://www.instagram.com/learnwithdrlee/channel/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: blue;">#BusinessGrowthChallenges</span></b></a> so here's one for those of you that want to join me in this type of homeownership advocacy:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Post at least once a week on your social media accounts about a different beneficial program that can help real estate buyers buy and/or sellers sell.</span></b></blockquote>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">That's it.  It sounds easy <i>and is</i> easy yet it will make an enormous impact on both your personal business and our real estate community at large.  Every time I share one of these great programs, the agents I work with are floored by the number of leads that result (I have generated hundreds from just a few of the posts I have down on my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17924197726117755/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>IG Stories (see examples here</b></span></a>)).  It's a win for you and it's a win for our industry so let's do this!</span></div>
