The 13% Podcast

Why do 87% of real estate agents fail? After decades in the business, we think we’ve found the answer: Real estate gives us the freedom and flexibility to build the life we want… Yet if we don’t have boldness, patience, integrity and the discipline to follow the right priorities, we’re guaranteed to be in the 87% that fail. Our character must show up in our EFFORT. So we’re sharing how to take on the mentality of the top 13%, become the person you’re meant to be, and earn a great living in the process! Thanks to the amazing guests and community we’re building, all with one goal: to help you join the elite group of agents who are consistently successful… That’s what we share on The 13%.

    From Real Estate Agent to Last Mile Advisor: The Shift You Need to Make Before It’s Too Late

    Real estate agents who are in the 13% aren’t just fighting for today’s listings. They are already working on winning listings months or even years from now. Today’s real estate market is changing rapidly, and the most successful agents know how to pivot and adapt accordingly.  Thanks to AI and shifts in consumer behavior, the way people buy and sell homes is going to look very different very soon.  Imagine a world where someone can simply speak into their phone, and instantly find the perfect home (and agent) by describing exactly what they're looking for. That’s where we’re headed in 5 years or less. The question is: if real estate changes like this, would your business survive? Would you be able to maintain your market share?  For most agents, the answer is no. Their businesses aren’t built to survive these changes….unless they do something about it now.  Why do we need to shift from real estate agent to last mile advisor? How do we elevate the service we provide? In this episode, we share what we learned from billion dollar brands and real estate CEOs about where real estate is headed, and how to set ourselves up for success 5 years from now.    About Your Hosts Lance Billingsley is a seasoned real estate professional with over a decade of experience in agent development and business coaching.

    The Only Way to Become a Top 1% Listing Agent w/ Russell Shaw

    When a real estate agent is struggling to stay in the game, many factors get the blame. The truth is most agent failures boil down to one thing: a lack of listings.  You can’t become a great listing agent if you haven’t built the skills for it…there are no shortcuts. In order to build a thriving business, we have to make sure we get to the listing table as often as possible.  It’s simple: If we want to increase our chances of getting a hit, we need to have more attempts at bat.  The challenge is, a lot of agents just don’t make it that far so they end up with lacklustre results. How do you increase your chances of getting to the listing table? Do agents underestimate the effort needed to succeed in this industry?  In this episode, we’re joined by legendary real estate agent, Russell Shaw. With 40+ years in the business, and 30+ years as a top 1% agent in the US, he shares how to dominate real estate for decades and what agents get wrong about the job.    Guest Bio Russell Shaw is a legendary real estate figure who has been selling homes for over 40 years.

He has been recognized by the National Association of Realtors as being among the top 50 agents nationally for number of homes sold and by the Wall Street Journal as being among the Top 200 Agents in America.

    The Shocking Reason Your Sphere Isn’t Sending You Business w/ Amy Stockberger

    Year after year, real estate agents are told that their sphere is the biggest source of business. We hear it time and time again, but we don’t do enough to reap the rewards.  We do our jobs well. We kill it before and during the transaction, and we remind the people who know, like and trust us to work with us and refer us, but nothing happens.  What gives?   The problem is: we’re trying to get referrals by doing only what we’re hired to do and nothing beyond that. How can we be memorable if we’re doing what every other agent is doing?  If we really want people talking about us, we have to think bigger than a single transaction. We have to enhance their entire human experience, not just the home buying/selling experience.  How do we create value that extends beyond a transaction? How do we become a lifetime advisor/concierge?  In this episode, we’re joined by broker/owner, South Dakota’s #1 real estate producer and creator of the Lifetime Home Support™ system, Amy Stockberger. She shares the business model that helped her gain 10% of market share in her state, and how to build a system-centric, referral-driven business.    Guest Bio Amy Stockberger is a broker/owner, entrepreneur, coach and the #1 real estate Producer in SD & #18 in the Nation. She is also the creator of the Lifetime Home Support™ system, which provides all the resources to ensure their clients are taken care of before, during and after the home buying and/or selling experience. Not only do we have nearly every home related service industry our clients will need on our Home Support Team, they also have entertainment venues, gyms and restaurants and so much more.

    Reject the Real Estate Reset: Why Top Agents Don’t Start Over in January w/ Leigh Brown

    At the start of every new year, agents reset and recommit to their businesses…but that’s a problem. If you have to reset, you’re already starting the year on the backfoot.  The top 13% don’t reset at all. Whether it’s January or October, they run their businesses consistently, no matter what. That means they never lose momentum, shrink their market share, or have to start over again on January 1st.  So while the top producers are already closing deals early in the year, the 87% are playing catch up, and they miss out on deals.  How do we avoid this? By consistently showing up and running your business like an actual business, you will be least and last affected by tough markets. You’ll never have to build your business back up again.  How do you run a business that brings in consistent income? What’s the easiest prospecting call ANY agent can make right now? Why are agents exiting the industry?  In this episode, we’re joined by real estate broker, forward-thinking CEO, #1 best-selling author, coach, and keynote speaker, Leigh Brown. She shares the real reason why so many agents have unstable income, and how to solve this problem.    Guest Bio Leigh Brown is a successful real estate broker, forward-thinking CEO, #1 best-selling author, honest coach, and kickin’ keynote speaker. She uses her decades of real estate experience to help everyone from early career to highly seasoned agent build (and rebuild!) their professional presence and confidence by helping them define and communicate their value proposition expertly. Her goal is that each real estate agent who is a Realtor® member become an impactful presence in their community in the process. She knows today’s agents and brokers face an unprecedented amount of pressure to stand out in a competitive market; she also knows that the security to build and maintain solid client relationships starts with one step: Just Say Hi. Through a systemized process to identify and define your value, Leigh gives agents and brokers the confidence and tools to reach greater heights in their chosen career. A best-selling author of three powerful business books, Leigh excitedly shares her expertise with anyone looking for ways to ignite their passions and create the outcomes they want.

    Re-Up or Opt-Out: How To Decide If You Should Stay in Real Estate w/ Kimberly Ryan

    The end of the year is upon us, and for many real estate agents, that means one thing: it’s time to renew your license. But if 2024 was a tough year for you—if you barely closed any deals—you might be wondering, is it even worth it to stay in real estate? Should you push through another year, hoping for a turnaround, or is it time to hang up your license and explore something else? If you’re on the fence about your future, now is the perfect moment to step back and reflect. The truth is, real estate is always evolving, and it’s never without its challenges. But here’s something to consider: agents who have thrived long-term didn’t succeed because it was easy. They made the choice to adapt and pivot when the market got tough.  So, how do you reignite your passion when the industry feels more challenging than ever? What can you do to equip yourself for the inevitable ups and downs? In this episode, we’re joined by real estate broker, strategic business coach, and Real Broker’s growth leader, Kimberly Ryan. We’ll explore what it really takes to stay in the game, even when things get tough.   Guest Bio Kimberly Ryan is a real estate broker, strategic business coach, and the growth leader at Real Broker.  Follow @kimberlyryan.joinreal on Instagram.    Check out this episode on Apple Podcasts, or Spotify, and don't forget to leave a review if you like what you heard.

    How to Avoid Becoming Just Another Real Estate Dropout w/ Jenny Hogan-Lizarraga

    Between social media and HGTV shows, there are a lot of people who enter real estate thinking this is an easy gig. All you need to do is get licensed and the deals will start rolling in, right?  Wrong.  A lot of the individuals who drop out of real estate are the ones who found out it wasn’t as easy as they thought it would be. Or they aren’t doing the right things for long enough. The real estate license is just the beginning - you have to invest in education that truly gives you the competitive advantage.  If you’re not leveling up your skills and finding a niche, you’re doomed to be the agent who does a transaction here and there until you’re forced to drop out.  How do real estate instructors know they have a rockstar in the making? Can a real estate license actually do us a disservice? How do we determine a valuable niche to dominate?  In this episode, we’re joined by a real estate instructor, senior director of market development and broker association liaison at Hogan School of Real Estate, Jenny Hogan-Lizarraga. She shares how to set yourself up for success as early as possible and the mistakes new agents make.     Guest Bio Jenny Hogan-Lizarraga is a real estate instructor, senior director of market development and broker association liaison at Hogan School of Real Estate.

    How to Sell 80 Homes a Month Without Burning Out w/ Carin Nguyen

    If there’s a factor that drives real estate’s staggering 87% exit rate, it’s burnout. We’re an industry of hard charging, high achievers, but sometimes that same drive can be the very thing that knocks us out of the business.  Even the most talented salesperson will fail when they’re running on fumes, so it’s no wonder why a lot of the best agents flame out in less than 5 years.  This job can be demanding, but let’s be real: a huge part of the burnout real estate agents experience is entirely self-inflicted. We refuse to delegate, say yes to everything, resist leverage and control every aspect of the business, until it starts hurting us.  The secret to selling more homes isn’t always putting more hours in, it’s actually working less, and focusing on the highest use of our time. What are some of the mindset blocks that keep some agents from experiencing freedom? Why do we have to look ahead in the face of change instead of burying our heads in the sand? How do you sell 80 homes a month without burning out?  In this episode, we’re joined by top producing agent, coach, author and owner of a top 1% brokerage and Inc. 5000 business, Carin Nguyen. She shares the mentality that has helped her maintain success in real estate for years, and how we should be responding to change in the industry.    Guest Bio Carin Nguyen is a real estate leader, national trainer and speaker, transformational coach, a top producing agent, best-selling author and the founder of The Carin Nguyen Real Estate Network a top 1% brokerage and an Inc. 5000 business. As a wife and mom who has raised 4 children while building her business over the last 20 years, Carin knows the challenges of growing a successful business and maintaining a happy & healthy personal life. She grew her business through the downturn selling 896 homes in her best year earning her the #2 ranking in the US by Real Trends. She specializes in educating real estate agents on creating systems and tools to thrive in any real estate market. Carin has owned a real estate brokerage, sold over 5000 homes and currently co-leads one of the top teams in the US with her husband, Son.

    How to Turn Your Real Estate Business Into a Referral Machine w/ Michael Maher

    Agents are constantly told that building relationships is the key to success in real estate, but this advice is missing a critical link.  Relationships alone don’t lead to referrals, being relational does.  The quality of our sphere relationships isn’t measured by how many names we have in our database. It’s measured by how often people are telling their own sphere about us.  Our aim should be delighting people and providing so much value, they have to tell their friends about the awesome real estate agent they know!  To accomplish this, we have to go beyond calling people every quarter - we have to invite them to events. Hosting events allows us to stop chasing business and start attracting it. It’s the most efficient way to connect with multiple people.  It’s also a powerful way to grow our businesses without the grind of prospecting. The best part: people don’t even have to show up for this strategy to work!  What’s the first event every agent should host? How can we host an event and actually make money in the process? How do we build a business on generosity and appreciation?  In this episode, we’re joined by coach, speaker and author of The 7 Levels of Communication, Michael Maher. He talks about the power of an event-based strategy and how to host your first one.    Guest Bio Michael J Maher is a coach, speaker and author of The 7 Levels of Communication. Formerly known as North America's Most Referred Real Estate Professional, in just his third year of real estate, Michael did 187 transactions for $40.1 MM in sales and netted one million dollars. He received over 500 Referrals for 11 straight years. And now, his (7L)System and methodologies have grown beyond the real estate world to see its application in nearly every profession and industry. His last event had over 50 different professions in the room! It all started with a powerful book (7L) The Seven Levels of Communication: Go from Relationships to Referrals endorsed but such stalwarts as Dave Ramsey, Dr. Ivan Misner, Bob Burg, Larry Kendall, Howard Brinton, Barbara Corcoran, Gary Keller, and many more.
