Back to EpisodesEpisode 799: Why Being Controversial Generates More Leads Than Being Safe
Description
Most agents are so terrified of offending a stranger that they’ve become the digital equivalent of unsalted crackers. You are playing it safe, posting the same generic market updates as everyone else, and wondering why you’re invisible. I am explaining why the old advice to "never talk politics" is officially dead. In a world of 1.5 million agents, being forgettable is the only real risk to your business. People don't hire logos, they hire humans with values and a pulse. I am showing you how to share your perspective on housing policy, taxes, and local culture without being a jerk or starting a comment war. If you want to attract clients who actually align with you, and filter out the ones who don't, you have to start showing up as a full person. It is time to stop hiding behind a corporate script and start being yourself.
- Why staying silent on local issues often comes across as insincere.
- How to use "Respectful Disagreement" as a high-level lead magnet.
- The reality of how the algorithm favors authenticity over "perfect" branding.
- Identifying the specific political issues that are actually real estate issues.
If you are tired of being the best-kept secret in your market, hit subscribe and let me know: do you think agents should stay neutral or take a stand?
