2B Residential’s Post

What are your thoughts on all the summer sales bros/gals riding around on these Segways lately? We have had at least 5 in the past month stop at our place. (New neighborhood perks 🫠) Honestly, it makes me immediately less receptive to the pitch. I usually appreciate the hustle, but to me, this sends a signal that they have made a decent amount of money and are just trying to move on to the next house as quickly as possible. Taking efficiency too far? Would love to hear your thoughts. #efficiency #operations #sales

The tale of the Non-Sell Sell. 🕯📜 Do you know what everybody wants? What they can't have. Many also want what everybody else wants. If the product to be sold genuinely is attractive, desirable, something that many may want.. ..the non-sell sell could be the right strategy. For instance, a genuinely HOT new development residential property. 🏢 People want to get it - to buy! That's when you take it back. Make it difficult to get. Exclusive, list-only events for certain brokers. Like one of those nightclubs that's difficult to get in to. You're not hard to reach, you're just "not open for sales yet". No brochures, just the site, the construction works, and the sales gallery. It's risky, but when done right, so effective for sales. When the time comes, when everybody wants what they can't have, that's when you open up for sales in the shadow. Suddenly, it's a race for the best units in the building. This is how a Property Advisor, and their team, can sell out your new development residential property. 💜 #PropertyAdvisor #Property #NewDevelopment #NewHomes #London

People were shocked to found out I received a 7M listing from an Instagram DM from a follower, but I had to turn down a 15M+ deal two months ago. It was on 4/4/2024 at 3:50 pm (i had to check my call log), I received a call that wasn’t saved on my phone but recognized the name on the caller ID since he would always engage with my content on LinkedIn and we only spoke once before. I picked up the phone and answered like I usually do. The person responded saying hey this is so and so and not sure if you remember me and I told him yes I remember you because you always like my content and we spoke once before a year ago. We caught up and than he got straight to the point, not only was this person a broker and a The CCIM Institute designee, he was also a merchant developer building NNN sites. He was looking at for a broker that could handle a portfolio sale of brand new build NNN assets about an 60 to 90 mins away from the DC MSA and asked if I was interested to sell them. It was the one of the most painful Nos I had to tell this person…. Why? Literally just a week ago back on 3/29 Bob Knakal accepted myself and my two teammates Justin Rice-Moore and Jas Saini to join BKREA - BK Real Estate Advisors and we were closing or referring out our book of business and preparing for the move to NYC. To walk away from that deal was beyond tough for the first 2 weeks, But this was also the power of a positive no like Bob always told me I got over it knowing I was moving on to better things and actually met this person in Nashville at the CCIM Spring Governance! So my 4 take aways: 🔹Always pick up the phone 🔹It’s not who you know, it’s who knows you 🔹Sometimes saying no leads to better things 🔹Don’t knock networks like CCIM or SIOR Global, because you never know where a referral might come from #commercialrealestate #socialmedia #sales

New partnerships are so cool. They put you in a position to help others overcome their hurdles. Which is why I’m pumped to be working with two new DC-based brokerage teams. The problem? Their agents didn’t have systems in place to screen tenants for their landlord clients who were renting out their home. Old system: Paper applications Took days to process Mishandled sensitive info Not sure how to read results Tough managing multiple rentals After we introduced RentRisk, both Broker-Owners responded with incredible feedback from their agents. New results: Data stored on RentRisk Agents easily tracked applicants Took minutes to qualify applicants Education/worksheet to qualify tenants Agents added value to potential clients Agents added leads to their sales funnels ____ Even cooler is watching each agent network serve their clients end goal of qualifying tenants for their home. I’m excited to see these teams continued growth in the NoVa/DC area 🙌

My d*ck head neighbour (DHN) has helped me come up with a new corporate buzzword. We used a free skip bin service from our local council to get rid of some old stuff and left the bin out the front of our place for collection. DHN starts texting me, asking what’s going on and when is it getting picked up as he’s having open houses to sell his place and the bin would be an eye sore. I told him reasonable people don’t look at a skip bin on the neighbours property and make a purchasing decision based on that. But if he wanted to follow up like we already had, go for it. The collection took weeks instead of days so I was calling and emailing regularly, asking them to keep DHN off my back. Then Friday it gets collected. Within minutes, DHN texts me “I called the council and yelled at them, looks like it worked”. He didn’t know about my emails and calls to the skip bin company, so he assumed his one call got it done. And that’s when I came up with “Assumed Impact”. Often Managers and Bosses who think what they do moves heaven and earth, without being aware of the work that went into it without them. For example your company sees good sales results and the boss thinks it was the pep talk / yelling session they had with the sales team. This is what they tell their friends while smoking cigars and clubbing seals . But it was actually due to someone in Sales Ops improving the contract signing process. Assumed Impact ™️, have you experienced someone that suffers from it?

Have you ever been working tirelessly on a result only for someone to come in at the last moment and tip it over the line? In a cheeky analogy, LinkedIn Top Voice Mitch King coins the term "assumed impact" to describe when a colleague (or neighbour, in his case) thinks they delivered a success that you had been working on. Chief of Staff Liv Wilson writes, "This is a very common experience for business support professionals whose hard work in the background is often attributed to the people they support." Speaker 🖖 Philip Laureano adds, "Perception is everything. Even if a manager has assumed impact, if they can make it appear that they are responsible for it, then they will be credited for its success." Do you have an example where someone assumes they got the job done when it was actually thanks to your hard work? Share your take in the comments section below. By Cayla Dengate

Are we too honourable? 🛡️ Recently I viewed a property to source for one of our clients to grow their serviced accommodation portfolios. Before viewing I was told the property can sleep up to 10 people, on arrival there was only 1 parking space, the rest of the street was permit parking. It was a nightmare to get parked. We decided not to move forward with this deal as it was not fit for the end use from a functionality standpoint. 1 week later I saw this being advertised on Facebook as a ''HOT DEAL'' that sleeps 10 with parking... Whomever buys this deal will inevitably run into operational issues later down the line. There are lots of deal sourcers out there, selling deals, without considering their clients end use fully.
