Recently, albeit due to public pressure or perception, the founder of Facebook made a statement as to how his social platform was going to change in 2018.

Let’s disect some of what Mark Zuckerberg had to say.

• “One of our big focus areas for 2018 is making sure the time we all spend on Facebook is time well spent.” In other words he is making a quality not quantity statement which if their research is correct will bring people back to Facebook.

• “But recently we’ve gotten feedback from our community that public content -- posts from businesses, brands and media -- is crowding out the personal moments that lead us to connect more with each other.” Yikes, we are a business and a brand, what does this mean for advertising on Facebook?

• “The research shows that when we use social media to connect with people we care about, it can be good for our well-being.” In other words Facebook is good for you, so please come back and use it.

• “We can feel more connected and less lonely, and that correlates with long term measures of happiness and health. On the other hand, passively reading articles or watching videos -- even if they’re entertaining or informative -- may not be as good.” What Mr. Zuckerberg is trying to say is that old stale videos on YouTube of cats and kids getting startled is bad for you and that live video is good for your well being.

• “...we’re making a major change to how we build Facebook. I’m changing the goal I give our product teams from focusing on helping you fi nd relevant content to help you have more meaningful social interactions. So if you post something it better be f’n good or we at Facebook will bury you.

• “...you’ll see less public content like posts from businesses, brands, and media. And the public content you see more will be held to the same standard -- it should encourage meaningful interactions between people.” That’s why I’m seeing “which kitchen do you like better?”

• “We’ve seen people interact way more around live videos than regular ones.” A shameless plug for Facebook live!!!!

• “Now, I want to be clear: by making these changes, I expect the time people spend on Facebook and some measures of engagement will go down. But I also expect

the time you do spend on Facebook will be more valuable.” Valuable to who? As long as Facebook keeps making money.

I hate to be cynical about Facebook because I realize that print has gone the way of the dodo bird, where can REALTOR®s advertise their wares? I like Facebook and feel its time to make our engagements with our friends and our clients more real and meaningful.

Here is a suggestion, why not create content about the ‘sandwich generation.’ Those people who have to take care of their kids and look after their parents. You could go live with a panel of experts on the subject. And where we can help is by asking this group of individuals ‘Do you want to keep informed on your parents home...every time something gets listed or sold on their street?’

Where did you grow up? Have you ever wondered about the home you grew up in? I (your REALTOR®) can set it up that the minute your childhood home gets listed I can send you the link to that listing. I can also do the same about your fi rst home, where was your fi rst home?

Where do you want to be? What’s your dream home location? Is it Lakeshore in Burlington? If it is, I can send you properties along Lakeshore the minute they get listed.

We all have a Facebook audience who is craving information. It isn’t about the quick sale anymore, it’s about the relationship in the long run. Katie Lance tells us social medial isn’t a race it’s a marathon, which will be very rewarding.

In the words of Vincent Van Gogh - Great things are not done by impulse, but a series of small steps brought together.

So craft your content strategy, and show how resourceful you are as a REALTOR®. How do you become the ‘thumb stopper in the news feed’?

Create better relationships through better content, instead of chasing leads use insightful content to attract them. I love the metaphor which Katie Lance described as ‘becoming that digital mayor.’ In order to become that digital mayor you must develop ‘your content plan’ in what Katie refers to as ‘snackable content’ which is bite sized and easy to consume whereby your clients will crave more.And the most important thing to remember is ‘don’t forget to make the content about them’. About their needs, not yours, about what’s important to them and their families in the moment. And use social media like Snapchat geo-fi lters which can surprise and delight your clients.

And use social media to honour your clients, take their testimonials and make it about them and not you, how wonderful it was to work with them to fi nd their dream home. In the words of Katie Lance don’t be a ‘drive by liker’, engage deeper with poignant comments that make people feel good.

And when you’re setting goals, think about increasing your shares. Look at increasing your shares by 200 percent. How do you do that? Create engaging content that your tribe needs.

CUSTOMER SERVICEin today’s Luxury Real Estate Sales

Education, resources, and the ability to research and review every product that is sold online or in stores has made customer satisfaction more diffi cult, but extremely necessary, in today’s digital society. In a world where most consumers, (especially luxury consumers), expect instant gratifi cation, they still demand a great consumer experience, and if they don’t receive an experience up to their standards, you will hear about it.

This holds true in the luxury real estate world too.Online shopping has become an easy, accessible and convenient experience for many people in the internet driven world of today. Because of this vast amount of shopping, on a daily basis, you can expect to have more issues arise. Most companies will quickly off er a refund or a gift card to provide instant rectifi cation for any situation.

With Yelp and website reviews becoming the norm, brands are understanding even more how crucial it is not only to solve an issue, but to make it right for the customer, giving a great experience from start to fi nish. Bad reviews can do a lot of damage for a company, product or real estate professional! Good reviews, whether online or by word of mouth, can change the future of a brand, company or real estate professional.

Let’s make the leap from the consumer to the REALTOR®. To breed consistent clients, your clients

have to be able to trust who and what they are investing in. If your reputation is questionable, they will question whether or not to buy through you.

Successful REALTOR®s not only have impeccable customer service and great reputations, in person, online and off , but they are also know how to turn their client’s needs into a successful transaction.

If you place the customers’ interests fi rst, your interests will always be taken care of. Be aware of what other people need, with the faith that when you do this, you’ll get what you need. Make your win about the other person, and go after what your client wants.

Remember, no matter what your skill level or your training, you are the most important commodity in customer service. People skills and serving your clients count for more, and it starts with you.

For example, when you take your clients through potential homes you need to provide them with the vision of the lifestyle they could have if they purchased this house. Consumers want a personal connection and a reason to invest and it’s up to you to provide that experience for them. There are millions of homes for sale, but the agent’s capacity to provide an outstanding experience will help the house stand out from other luxury homes on the market.

Now more than ever people will pay for an experience, and authenticity. It no longer benefi ts to be the cheapest, biggest, or newest. People are most likely to work with someone that they know, like and can trust. Be that person and add value by providing the best customer service.

Experience and grow your business. Your true value is determined by how much you give in value, rather than what you take in payment.

Partnering for success How RBC can help build your real estate business

Moving from Good to GREAT!Many times in our Real Estate careers we question our abilities, our achievements, and our fi nancial gains. We do this because many of us run behind others, sometimes behind too many others. We ask ourselves these questions: “Why is he/she/they so successful? I’m doing the same activities every day that they are, so why are they working less hours per week than I am? Why does it appear to me that they are great REALTOR®s and I am not so great?”

These questions are asked by many but are often asked out of context. Appearances, activities, hours worked, greatness, success – these are things that vary out of necessity for each individual. We have a tendency to look “out” at other REALTOR®,s rather than looking “inward” at ourselves. That is a fact! We ask the wrong questions and therefore look down on ourselves rather than looking up to the successes that we have achieved.

QUESTION – Who is more critical of us than we are of ourselves? Think about this - has anyone approached you and said this: “You know something? You suck as a REALTOR®?” Of course not. So why are we so critical of ourselves?

Has anyone approached you and said: “You know something? You rock as a REALTOR®, so how do you do it?” How many of us think that we ROCK? Even the most successful REALTOR®s doubt themselves sometimes, however they are always striving to be better, to be more successful, to be more self fulfi lled. Instead of asking negative questions, they ask themselves positive, self improvement, empowering questions. They will base their future on their past achievements rather than on past failures. Can you see the diff erence and how it can impact your future? How it can reinforce your self image?

How does this involve your moving from good (average) to great? Simple! Here are a few thoughts: • Abandon your status quo and change the

way you do things. • Never doubt that you can achieve your

goals (your SMART goals). • Develop self discipline (do things

consistently and dump the excuses).• Develop a daily schedule and stick to it. • Learn the value of time (only 86,400

seconds in a day so use them wisely).

• Become a leader not a follower (be innovative).

• Overcome FEAR (become fearless and powerful instead of fearful and powerless).

REMEMBER – FEAR will hold you back! Remove your fear of rejection, fear of the unknown, fear of success, and focus on your WHY. Read or youtube Simon Sinek’s “Start with your WHY”. Challenge yourself on a daily basis. Be accountable – set your bar high. And lastly, have rewards and consequences for your successes and failures.

I hope that this article will help catapault you to success and in reaching your personal goals both in business and in life.

Cheers,

David

Did You Know: Estate Sales can be challenging and should be handled with some diligence and sensitivity. If you have been contacted by a family member to list a property on behalf of a deceased individual you should ask the appropriate questions. Firstly, does the deceased have a valid Will and are there any restrictions in the Will with respect to disposing of the Real Estate. Secondly, even if there is a Will, with no restrictions in it, the Executor will be required, in most cases, to make Application to the Superior Court of Ontario, for a Certifi cate of Appointment of Estate Trustee (‘Probate”). This is essentially a Court Order which confi rms the Executor’s authority to sell the property and confi rms the Will as being the last Will and Testament of the Deceased. Unfortunately, the granting of Probate in a timely manner is in the control of the Court system, and not the Executor. Sometimes there are issues with the Estate which will delay the Court Order or there may be litigation between Benefi ciaries which will hold up Probate indefi nitely. If there is no Will it is practically certain that Probate will be required. In order to protect your Seller/Executor client where Probate is required it would be prudent to discuss holding off on listing the Property until Probate has been obtained or, at the very least, include a Seller’s condition in any Off er which allows the Seller to get out of the Agreement if it looks like there will be a problem getting Probate. There is an exception to the requirement for getting a Court Order if the proposed Estate Sale is a “First Dealing” with the Property since the date of conversion from the Registry System to the Land Titles System. A brief consultation with a Lawyer at the outset can help answer questions such as, whether or not the “First Dealing” exception applies to your Estate Sale and, the drafting of an appropriate condition to insert in an Off er to protect your Seller/Executor where Probate is required.
