The pandemic changed multiple things about our lives and businesses. The real estate businesses that have thrived through this were prepared ahead of time and focused on the right things. 

While some businesses have had to reinvent themselves completely, others only had to make small adjustments. The goal isn’t to focus on the shiny objects, it’s to create a scenario where we don’t have to stress about all the disruptors everyone is worried about. 

That can only take place if we pour all our attention into the systems that keep the business running. 

What is the main area we need to be focused on? How can we be more intentional with connecting with our communities? 

In this episode, CEO and co-founder of Century 21 Novus Realty, Rett Harmon talks about how he led his business through 2020. 

"Some of the basic things we learned when we first got into the business are so much more important now than they’ve ever been. We just have to bring them full circle and be intentional with what we’re doing." -Rett Harmon

Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode  

• How to build a perpetual real estate machine When we build a business on the right foundation, we won’t have to scramble when the industry or the world suddenly shifts. That way, when a disruption happens, all the right systems and relationships are baked in and fully functional. Instead of building from scratch, all that’s required are tweaks and adjustments. 

• Why we need to avoid chasing shiny objectsWe often try to grow by jumping onto the next big thing, but it’s better and less risky to control and experience growth by going deeper into what we already have. Not building deep relationships is a bigger risk than ignoring disruptors.

• The most important currency in our real estate business One of the most significant adjustments of the last year was doing business in a socially distanced world. This can be a huge blow to a real estate business. As leaders, we have to plug-in systems that maintain relationships, allow us to stay in front of people, and bring value and positivity to them.
