Brandon Sigette with Real Broker and the Grant Johnson Team, who taught golf for 15 years before real estate became his full-time job, joins us today. This is his first year as a full-time agent, and his business is already up nearly 400% compared to last year. Brandon’s first deals came from club members asking about homes being built on the golf course where he worked. He now finds most of his clients by staying in touch with people he met through golf. He tells us what has surprised him the most about other agents and what the best part of selling real estate is.

- Why access to every tool and resource doesn’t make someone a good agent.
- How a few conversations a day can change an agent’s entire business.
- The referrals Brandon gets from golf contacts without even asking.
- Why Brandon sometimes makes Instagram posts that are unrelated to real estate.
- How Brandon can tell that pushback is coming from the agent, not the client.
- What happens when buyers choose the first agent who responds to them online.
- Why he sympathizes with buyers who don’t trust him at first.
