December 06, 2021 00:00 VideoNate’s Monday Morning MessageVolume 1,089 Welcome to this week’s edition of Nate’s Morning Message! There are only three more Mondays before we call 2021 a wrap – how will you spend them? The only resource in our life that is not renewable is time. When we say yes to something, we are saying no to something else; something quite possibly more important. However, there are times when we say yes to something that changes our lives. Every second counts and every second is an opportunity to sa...

I know we say it every year, but this year feels like it flew by faster than any other. While this week is about the delicious turkey and the flavory stuffing, it’s also about tradition and gratitude. This will be the first year without my beloved mother at the table, so tradition has that much more meaning to me this Thanksgiving. If I have learned a...
Staying Focused on the Basics
November 18, 2021 08:00 VideoMy advice is to tune out the distractions and stay focused on the basics. Today I’ll discuss focus. In this crazy real estate market, it’s not uncommon to get daily calls from someone trying to recruit you to their company or see TV commercials from iBuyers. There is a lot of noise out there. My advice is to stay focused on the basics. For example, Tom Brady has been playing the same position for 20 years, yet he’s still excelling because he’s mastered the basics. He understands every pla...

On October 12, 2021, I celebrated a milestone in my career as a real estate agent – 30 years with RE/MAX! I can still remember the day I decided to leave West USA to join RE/MAX like it was yesterday. It was a decision that changed my life and more importantly, changed the lineage of my family and generations to come. Its surreal when I compare where I was 30 years ago, to where I am today –...

Why Our Book Will Revolutionize How You Do Real Estate
September 08, 2021 10:10 VideoHere’s everything you need to know about our real estate workbook. As some of you may know, Sarah Michelle Bliss and I recently wrote a book called Your Real Estate Journey to Abundance in 8 Steps. In this book, we wanted to revolutionize the way real estate is sold. There is nothing on the market that resembles what we’ve done with this book, and that’s because it is specifically targeted at real estate agents. This book is really a workbook. You can track your progress and what you’re ...

Today, I wanted to remind everyone that while the cookouts and cold beers are a great way to spend the holiday, Labor Day was formed as a day to pay tribute to the contributions and achievements of the American workers in the late 1800s. At the height of the Industrial Revolution in the US, the average American worked 1...

A Unique Home-Buying Strategy That Works in This Market
June 02, 2021 13:17 VideoHere’s a strategy we’ve been using to help our homebuyer clients win. Over the last 35 years, I’ve negotiated thousands of real estate deals. In the last few months, we’ve had to start using different strategies to help our homebuyer clients succeed in this extremely competitive market. One of the most successful strategies has been our use of private financing. We’re using more hard-money loans to get offers accepted. We put down at least 20% to the lender and agree on terms (which can ...

The Effect of Rising Lumber Costs
May 04, 2021 15:08 VideoLumber prices are increasing, and this trend will only continue. New home prices are skyrocketing due to an increase in lumber costs. Compared to this time last year, the cost of a lumber package for an average-size house has increased by $35,000, and this cost will continue to rise. Gas prices are also going up, along with the cost of labor. Basically, everything is going up—that’s called inflation, my friends. The good news, however, is that interest rates are still in the low 3s. If y...

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, I thought I would write about luck in today’s message. Do you believe in luck? Have you experienced luck? Is there such a thing as luck in the rea world? By definition, luck is success or failure brought on by chance rather than your action. Sounds almost mystical! However, I believe that to be “lucky” we have to have vision, determination, and hustle. Or in other words,...
