DRUM

Father, Investor, Resilient Realtor, and Icon

Rob, a dedicated father of five young children, has managed to balance the demands of family life while building a highly successful real estate investment business, a personal portfolio, and a team who serves other investors also.

Rob's previous career as a stock broker and equities trader helps him see investment options and possibilities more clearly. He was comfortable in the financial world, but his passion for real estate investing and passive income prompted him to get his real estate license. As successful agents do, he originally got caught in the trap of working around the clock helping others and building his own portfolio. It wasn't until he hired Jamia Nelson as his transaction coordinator that he learned the value of good people and good systems. It was the catalyst for building the team he has today.

Rob's philosophy is clear: surround yourself with individuals who excel in areas where you may not, making every day more enjoyable and productive. He lives by this philosophy and by implementing the Entrepreneur Operating System (EOS) through the book called Traction, which helped him put systems in place quickly.

For new agents, Rob offers valuable advice: "Try everything." With countless strategies to succeed in real estate, it's essential to discover what works best for you and your personality in the long term. The real benefits come with time and perseverance.

In fact, here are Rob's top three factors he feels contributes to long-term success as a Realtor:

Resilience:

The real estate industry presents daily mental and emotional challenges, requiring a resilient mindset to persevere.

Reputation: Honesty, integrity, and trustworthiness are cornerstones of a strong reputation, which becomes more valuable over time.

Adaptability:

To thrive in real estate, one must remain adaptable in the face of changing markets, technology, and regulations.

Rob has a skill for negotiation that he has taught his team. His favorite tactic involves setting clear objectives and identifying potential obstacles before each negotiation. He explains, "Clarity of intention often leads to favorable outcomes!"

Rob initially obtained his broker's license with the intention of starting his own brokerage. However, upon discovering the eXp Realty model, he realized it aligned perfectly with his objectives; avoiding the expense, effort, and management time a brokerage would consume. With the ICON award and Team model, Rob found the ideal platform to achieve his goals. For Rob Drum, success means challenging himself and continually improving. Currently, he's focusing on a significant project: building 53 townhomes, with groundbreaking on the first units expected soon. If you'd like to get to know Rob better or hire him to build a portfolio for yourself, call him at:

You asked that we reduce the number of emails to agents during and immediately after onboarding and we delivered! By leveraging My eXp notifications, we have eliminated the majority of emails being sent to joining agents, effectively streamlining critical communications. Pre- and post-join notifications will also be searchable in My eXp, making it easy to find notifications that may have been missed.

As a reminder, all eXp agents worldwide can access and review valuable Revenue Share information quickly and easily on the My eXp website or on the My eXp App, which is available in the Apple App Store and Google Play. Agents can download reports directly to their device and then sort the data to derive critical insights.

KEMP asmine

She stays busy at home taking care of her family, but gets to fulfill her passion for helping people through difficult situations and finding the right puzzle pieces for them when buying or selling real estate. Her accounting background, her analytical problem solving, and her enjoyment of working with money, provides a real edge to the services she provides. After evaluating other company business models, Jasmine found her perfect fit with eXp Realty!

Jasmine has cultivated a strong online and social media presence by staying 100% authentic to who she is as a person and as an agent. She strongly believes that YOU are your brand and she prides herself on her authenticity. She connects, builds trust, and engages with young professional families going through similar life stages. They rely on her to provide market knowledge, statistical updates, sound advice, and relatable stories.

When someone hires Jasmine, she has a stern "stay in communication" policy so that her clients feel valued, heard, and understood. She builds strong relationships with this policy, along with thoughtful gestures she adds to her sales process, that always earn her additional referrals.

The best advice Jasmine has ever received is, "Only you can hear the calling God has placed on your life. Don't stop chasing your goals and dreams because someone else doesn't understand. Get up, give yourself grace, and keep running your race."

Agents, here's her advice to you: For agents looking to build a strong personal brand, her advice is simple yet powerful: have a plan, know how you want people to feel when they engage with you, and evaluate the time vs. money trade-off in everything you do. Consistency and staying grounded are key.

As for Jasmine’s goals for 2024, they revolve around making a positive impact on at least 100 people through personal encounters in real estate. She aims to continue eliminating busyness in her life, implementing systems that free up time and energy, allowing her to live full and fulfilled.
