Nate’s Monday Morning MessageVolume 1,136 Welcome to this week’s edition of Nate’s Morning Message! This weekend has been filled with spooky good times and tonight the happy little ghouls will make their way through the streets of our communities looking to fill their bags with sweet treats.

October 24, 2022 00:00 Video

Nate’s Monday Morning MessageVolume 1,135 Welcome to this week’s edition of Nate’s Morning Message! Last week we talked about the best investment you can make, which is in yourself. This week, I want to talk about time. As we approach the holiday season, where time gets spread thin with an abundance of merriment, time becomes the best gift of all. Time is the only limited resource in life. When our time is up, there is no extension or do-over. Time is finite. When we say yes to something, ...

Nate’s Monday Morning MessageVolume 1,134 Welcome to this week’s edition of Nate’s Morning Message! I hope this email finds you ready to embrace the new week ahead! Today, I want to ask you a question today: what is your best investment? When I ask this question, people typically tell me that is their best investment is a real estate transaction, or a stock investment. While those are great investments, the best investment you can make is in yourself. The time and energy you invest in trai...

October 10, 2022 00:00 Video

Nate’s Monday Morning MessageVolume 1,133 Welcome to this week’s edition of Nate’s Morning Message! Today I want to talk about the three ingredients for influencing the conversations we have with those we care about. Those are curiosity, empathy, and courage. I love the simplicity of this concept, yet it is something missing in most conversations. To truly listen and connect, these three ingredients are essential. To come from a place of curiosity means we are open to hearing what the othe...

Nate’s Monday Morning MessageVolume 1,132 Welcome to this week’s edition of Nate’s Morning Message! I hope this email finds you well and refreshed for a new week. Today I want to talk about mindset. There are those out there who talk about having motivation, but let’s be real – motivation comes and goes as it pleases. Some days motivation is on fire, then the next day, it vanishes into thin air. But mindset on the other hand, its always there. And it’s a strong, positive, determined mindse...

I hope this email finds you well and ready for the new week…while it might not feel like it just yet, we can still say welcome fall as we celebrate the official first week!

Before the triple digits say goodbye, I’d like to chall...

Nate’s Monday Morning MessageVolume 1,130 Welcome to this week’s edition of Nate’s Morning Message! As I prepare this week’s message, I am stuck at the airport in Houston on a delayed flight to my destination of Croatia to spend the next ten days with my brothers from GoBundance which is a mastermind group I belong to. Traveling can be stressful, especially traveling aboard. Delays and cancelled flights can ruin an excited, positive attitude. But as I type this I reminded of a quote by Ma...

Nate’s Monday Morning MessageVolume 1,129 Welcome to this week’s edition of Nate’s Morning Message! Well, we are nearing the end of the summer temps and on our way to the Q4 slide into the holiday season. Kind of crazy to think 2022 is almost over – where did the time go? Before the jingles and merriment, we need to set aside time to honestly reflect on the year and plan for 2023. I like to take inventory of what went great, what goals I hit, and identify where I can improve and grow. Goal...

August 29, 2022 00:00 Video

Critical Phoenix metro market update every agent should know about. The red-hot market has finally cooled, homes aren’t appreciating as quickly, inventory isn’t as limited, and bidding wars aren’t as common as they were two years ago. There may be a few exceptions in some pockets of the market, but for the most part, the dust has settled. As a real estate agent, what can you do to help your clients make wise real estate decisions as things change? At 1:00 in the video, you’ll see a graph...

It’s a new week filled with amazing opportunities, so let’s get started with the Monday Morning Message!

August 22, 2022 00:00 Video

Nate’s Monday Morning MessageVolume 1,126 Welcome to this week’s edition of Nate’s Morning Message! The other day I was chatting with a friend and our conversation went from business strategies to a more personal tone. He was vulnerable with me and shared that his mother was rather abusive when he was growing up and told him he’d never amount to anything. We discovered that for 60 years, he had been unconsciously holding onto his mother’s words and how much they were holding him back from ...

Prices Are Down in the Phoenix Market

August 09, 2022 00:00 Video

Is it a good time for buyers to shop for homes in the Phoenix market? Due to rising interest rates, many buyers have been on the fence with their purchasing plans. However, now that the market has shifted, is it the right time for them to pursue their real estate goals once again? To answer this question, we’ll compare the current market with that of a few months ago. Back in January, the market was so hot that homes received multiple offers, and buyers were willing to pay above list pric...

August 08, 2022 00:00 Video

Nate’s Monday Morning MessageVolume 1,124 Welcome to this week’s edition of Nate’s Morning Message! I was on a webinar the other day and the topic of core values came up. As a business owner, and a team leader we have spent hours over the years developing our core values. But it hit me while listening to the discussion that core values are not just for business owners or team leaders. Core values are for everyone. They are your guiding principles that represent what you stand for in life. ...

Nate’s Monday Morning MessageVolume 1,123 Welcome to this week’s edition of Nate’s Morning Message! I hope this email finds you well and that you had a wonderful weekend with family and loved ones. A few weeks ago I asked you how you were doing with your goals for 2022. Did you consider where you are at today and what the remainder of the year looks like? When you set your goals or think about your potential, so many of us base it on what we did in the past – which can be a great place to...

June 27, 2022 00:00 Video

Nate’s Monday Morning MessageVolume 1,118 Welcome to this week’s edition of Nate’s Morning Message. Today I want to talk about the power of teamwork. When I decided to start a real estate team many years ago, it was so we could help more people buy or sell a home and be the number one team in the Valley of the Sun. I had no idea the impact that decision would have on my life and those who joined my team over the past thirty + years. In the beginning of my career, I thought I could do it al...

How did it go last week with managing your self-care? Any ah-has? I’d love to hear about them! Tomorrow is a special day however, its not a day that gets as much recognition as it should.

Last week we talked about attitude – how did it go for you? Today, let’s talk about expectations.

How To Respond to a Buyer Who Wants To Wait

May 03, 2022 15:18 Video

If your buyer plans to wait out the market, here’s what you should say. I’ve been selling real estate in the Valley of the Sun for over 36 years, and in that time, I’ve helped a lot of buyers successfully purchase homes. However, in today’s market, many homebuyers say that they want to wait for the market to come down before they make a purchase. How do you respond when one of your clients says this? Today I’ll use an example to help you explain to your buyers why they can’t afford to wait...

This past week I had the great privilege of witnessing a few of our agents receive an award at our local board for their hard work helping families with their real estate needs.

Today, I want to talk about fear. There is a lot going on in our world, both here in the U.S. and around the globe that is scary and uncertain – most of it is outside of our control – yet I believe there are some of people putting their life on hold because of what they hear or read in the news.

I’d love to hear from you! This week let’s talk about the real estate market and more importantly interest rates.

As the season changes, change is a great topic for today’s message.

Are you on track or do you need to make some adjustments? I was going through an old notebook the other day, and I came across some notes I wrote in 2018 on a few goals I wanted to accomplish. As I read through them, I couldn’t help but smile and be reminded of the power of intentionally planning your life. Many of ...

4 Reasons Why Our Market Will Stay Strong

March 24, 2022 16:25 Video

Four reasons why our market isn’t going to crash anytime soon. Is our market going to crash? I get this question almost every day, and my answer is a hard no. The demand for real estate in our Phoenix market is unheard of, and besides that, there are four good reasons why our market is still strong: 1. Multiple offers. Even after 16 months of a competitive market, we still see multiple-offer situations, so demand is not letting up. 2. Low inventory. This goes back to supply and demand. W...

There is so much noise in our world today, and much negativity that it can be a challenge to focus on the good. Today, I’d like to gently remind you that no matter what is happening with the world, no matter how b...

Nate’s Monday Morning MessageVolume 1,103 Welcome to this week’s edition of Nate’s Morning Message! I heard this quote the other day, which has inspired me for today’s message… “the words I speak are the house I live in.” That got me thinking, especially because, as you know, we sell a few houses around here! Our home is so much more than the place we put our head down to sleep at night. It’s our bodies, it’s our families, it’s our health, it’s our dreams, it’s our struggles, but most impo...
