AUGUST 2023

An Unconventional Journey to Real Estate Success

Nick Holman

Before real estate, Nick was a UAB football player, a traveling DJ, and an actor. However, he found purpose in the real estate world.

Unlike traditional real estate professionals, Nick's motivation came from a chance conversation with a local real estate developer who recognized his gift for connecting with people. This led him to explore real estate as a path to personal growth and financial stability.

C O V E R OUR

Nick found a perfect fit with eXp Realty, largely influenced by the genuine and caring Gusty Gulas. The innovative approach of eXp aligned seamlessly with his brand, offering vast referral networking opportunities with massive referrals. He also appreciates the levels of support within the eXp community, fostering collaboration and growth while he and fiancé, Alex Mora build a dynamic team filled with opportunities for others.

C O V E R OUR

Nick's team utilizes social media, video content, and SEO to generate business in Huntsville, Madison, Birmingham, and the Gulf Coast. It also emphasizes building genuine relationships while focusing on developing the luxury market.

Nick enjoys spending time with his fiancé and team lead partner, Alec, along with their two energetic teenage golden retrievers. They share a love for outdoor activities, travel, and hosting parties for their sphere of influence. Golf has become Nick's newfound passion, providing an outlet for his competitive spirit.

C O V E R OUR

This guy is proof that having the right vision, mindset, and dedication can conquer any challenge and create an extraordinary life. If you have referrals for this team.

Please call him at (256) 656-6521.

Build 23 Build 23 Alex Acuff

A Powerful Experience in Sales and Prospecting Build Event 23 was a gamechanger, setting itself apart from previous gatherings with a laser focus on production in a shifting and challenging market.

E V E N T S XTEAM

The event showcased inspiring team leaders, monster producers, and captivating keynote speakers and trainers, making it a must-attend for any agent looking to grow their business.

One standout speaker was Verl Workman from Workman Success Systems, whose insights on sales professionalism and high-level prospecting left the audience in awe. With charisma and expertise, Verl emphasized the keys to success in the competitive world of sales. Another highlight was Jeb Blount, the renowned author of "Fanatical Prospecting," who graced the main stage with his powerful speech. Jeb shared invaluable wisdom on prospecting, core beliefs, and effective processes for building a highly successful prospect-based business.

E V E N T S XTEAM

The event was more than just speeches and presentations; it provided a unique opportunity for attendees to network and build relationships. The atmosphere was charged with camaraderie and shared knowledge, leading to enlightening conversations during dinners and over drinks. Agents from around the world shared their successful business strategies, allowing everyone to gain valuable insights for their own ventures. For me, attending multiple conferences and events last year reinforced the power of proximity. Being in a room with like-minded individuals and successful leaders provided inspiration and motivation, showing the potential of reaching new heights in business.

If you're an agent, particularly an eXp Agent, contemplating attending events like EXPCON or Genny Williams' event in Birmingham, I strongly urge you to take the leap and invest in a ticket. The financial commitment will be worth it once you immerse yourself in the event's atmosphere and connect with the people who share your aspirations.

E V E N T S XTEAM

These events hold the key to unlocking your business's true potential. Additionally, for those who missed the Build Event 23 or wish to revisit the captivating speeches, there's good news! All the speakers' presentations can be accessed for free on Brent Gove's YouTube page. Simply head over to his channel and enjoy the replays at your convenience. This offers a fantastic opportunity for everyone to benefit from the knowledge and insights shared during the event, even if they couldn't attend in person. Don't miss out on this valuable resource to continue learning and growing in your professional journey

A G E N T S P O T L I G H T AUGUST

Real estate marketing in August can be unique due to the lack of seasonal changes, holidays, and events. Here are some effective real estate marketing tips for August:

Highlight Summer Features: Showcase properties that have summer-friendly features such as swimming pools, outdoor entertainment spaces, or large windows to capitalize on the season.

Create Seasonal Content: Produce content that aligns with the summer season, like blog posts about the best neighborhoods for outdoor activities or tips for staging homes during the warmer months.

Back-to-School Promotions: August marks the back-to-school season, which can be an opportunity to market to families looking to move before the new school year starts. Promote family-friendly homes and emphasize the proximity to good schools.

Host Open Houses and Events: Host open houses or community events, such as BBQs or neighborhood gatherings, to attract potential buyers and create a positive atmosphere.

T I P S MARKETING

Utilize Social Media: Leverage social media platforms to showcase properties with highquality visuals and engage with your audience through contests or polls related to home preferences.

Email Marketing Campaigns: Send out targeted email campaigns featuring your new listings, highlighting the unique features of each property, and offering incentives to potential buyers.

Local Partnerships: Collaborate with local businesses like moving companies, furniture stores, or interior decorators to offer discounts or special promotions to your clients.

Drone Photography and Video Tours: Use drone photography to capture aerial views of properties and create immersive video tours, allowing potential buyers to explore the property from the comfort of their own home.

Focus on Energy Efficiency: As the heat rises, buyers may be interested in energy-efficient homes. Highlight features like solar panels, energy-efficient windows, or smart home systems that can help save on utility costs.

T I P S MARKETING

Offer Summer Incentives: Consider offering summer-specific incentives such as covering moving costs, providing a home warranty, or offering a discount on closing costs to entice potential buyers.

Virtual Tours and Live Streams: For buyers who can't attend in-person showings, offer virtual tours and live-streamed open houses to cater to a broader audience.

Testimonials and Reviews: Share positive testimonials and reviews from satisfied clients on your website and social media to build trust and credibility.

Remember to stay up-to-date with the latest real estate trends and keep an eye on local market conditions to fine-tune your marketing strategies. By tailoring your approach to the unique aspects of August, you can attract more buyers and sellers to your real estate business.
