The "Miranda Rights" of Real Estate
We are all familiar with the Miranda Rights (some of us more than others) that are given to a suspect when they are arrested, right?? here is the FULL version below (not the stripped down version you see on TV)…
You have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer questions. Do you understand?
Anything you do say may be used against you in a court of law. Do you understand?
You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future. Do you understand?
If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish. Do you understand?
If you decide to answer questions now without an attorney present you will still have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to an attorney. Do you understand?
Knowing and understanding your rights as I have explained them to you, are you willing to answer my questions without an attorney present?
Here is my version of “The Real Estate Miranda Rights”…just change a few words and Viola! A career is born!
You have the right to ignore the Internet Consumer and refuse to answer questions, after all Starbucks is hiring. Do you understand?
Anything you do say may be used to tap into the hearts and minds of over 91% of all Real Estate Buyers and Sellers. Do you understand?
You have the right to consult a little page called GOOGLE before speaking to the Website Vendor and to have that information present during questioning now or in the future. Do you understand?
If you cannot afford a Website/CRM/or Integrated Web 2.0 Marketing Plan, one will be appointed for you, for a small fee, before any progress is actually made in your career, if you wish. Do you understand?
If you decide to enter the 21st Century of Real Estate now without a Deep rooted passion for success present you will still have the right to stop Practicing Real Estate at any time until you retrieve the other half of your brain and get Online!. Do you understand?
Knowing and understanding your rights as I have explained them to you, are you willing to take your career to the place it belongs without an excuse present?
5 years from now over 65% of you (Real Estate Agents) will no longer be effective. Your career will be far less than you had hoped, and you will look back and wonder why? Why didn’t I just stop fighting the inevitable and learn how to survive on the Internet? What was I thinking????
Agents, Stop-Listen-Learn-Prosper!
