In 2010 I was at a low point in my life. I had lost my job in the mortgage industry and was blackballed from working in the industry. I reached out to my long time friend and referral partner, Michael Reese. He met me at Gengis Grill in Frisco, Texas. This particular day, Mike was amped up. Mike is an excitable guy at all times, but this day he was over the top.
He didn’t know it, but I was there to ask him for a job. I had always admired his work ethic and I wanted to be a part of his team. As fate would have it, the “working for you” conversation never took place. Instead, we talked about the internet and the future of real estate.
At the time, I just nodded and agreed with Mike. I had no idea what in the world he was talking about. He went on to talk about how he and his partner Jay Kinder were working on a way to streamline the real estate process by pairing online and offline processes together. Again, it was all gibberish to me at the time, but it sure sounded interesting.
Flash forward 6 years and I got to witness first hand, the operation Jay and Mike had been dreaming of and working on. A few days ago I was able to tour the National Association of Expert Advisors (NAEA) facilities in Dallas, Texas. To say I was mind-blown is an understatement.
I’ve seen my fair share of real estate operations. I’ve helped launch and run ads for some of the biggest real estate firms on the planet. Yet, I’ve never seen anything like the partner program Jay and Mike have created. Nothing even comes close to what they’ve birthed.
Mr Reese and Mr Kinder have taken the monotony out of real estate. Matter of fact, they have automated all of the work agents hate doing. Cold calls, email marketing, pipeline follow up, crm management and all the other “hard work” have been removed from the equation with Jay and Mike’s business model.
The Kinder Reese model allows agents to focus on what they do best; real estate. When members of the NAEA partner program get a lead, it’s a real live lead. Matter of fact, it’s more than a lead. It’s basically a new client handed over to the agent so the agent can go to work for them.
Most real estate agents will joke and agree that the knowledge you acquire in order to pass the board exam is rarely used in the field. Serious agents know that sales and marketing drive real estate. Yet they don’t teach sales and marketing in real estate school. With the NAEA model, agents get to focus on using their real estate knowledge and leave the sales and marketing to the automation side of the operation.
This partner program is so game changing, Mike and Jay plan on teaching the model and fully launching it at their upcoming Exponential Growth Summit (EGS). Each year Mike and Jay go all out with an amazing line of speakers at the event as well. The event takes place in Dallas, Texas on October 9-11.
This year’s line up of speakers is the best to date. Darren Hardy from Success Magazine will come by and teach in his own amazing way. Dustin Black, CEO of Black Tie Movers will be speaking on how he grew an idea into a multi-million dollar moving company in a crowded market, in less than 5 years. Josh Altman of Million Dollar Listing Las Angeles will be discussing real estate investing and how to sell high end real estate. There’s several other top tier speakers on the schedule as well. I’m one of them! I’ll be talking about selling in the modern marketplace.
Jay and Mike are changing the fate of real estate. They are literally altering the course of how real estate is bought and sold. Their vision is so far into the future, it will be years before the big brands catch on to trends NAEA spotted years ago. Keep your eyes and ears out for these guys. Mark my words “they will change the game”
