Peter Lorimer Podcast

Greetings and welcome to the Real Estate Entrepreneur Podcast, I am your host Peter Lorimer, former hit record producer, now host of the show Stay Here on Netflix and owner LA’s most creative boutique real estate firm, PLG Estates.nd Co-Founder of Jigglar This week's podcast is an interview with Ray Wood. Crammed full of immensely valuable real estate marketing tips and tools. And he should know - he's an expert in the space - has written books, been on loads of podcasts and even has one of his own. Ray's worked with PLG Estates to create fantastic templates via Jigglar his online design platform that has increased our adoption rate and is even "Peter-proof". We talked a lot about developing the deeper end of the funnel - data, deep relationships, and creating real, authentic, and creative ways to connect with those in your funnel. We talked about his podcast, Top Agents Playbook, his books (and the ones to come), Jigglar - an online graphic design platform for real estate agents, and our passion for dev

Greetings and welcome to the Real Estate Entrepreneur Podcast, I am your host Peter Lorimer, former hit record producer, now host of the show Stay Here on Netflix and owner LA’s most creative boutique real estate firm, PLG Estates. How do we go back to work aggressively, in service, and safely? It has been a devastating time, and I think many of us have chosen to view this as a reset. Much like in 2008-09. In 2008-09, I'd been in real estate for a few years. I was just getting my grip. And then the crash came. And when it happened, we all had the same feeling that we did a couple of months ago. And here's what happened a little over a decade ago: it was about the pivot. When an event occurs, we can rebel against it or we can adapt. If we adapt and evolve, we flourish. Read this before you go further: safety first. For everyone. There are knowns and unknowns, but those that pivot will prevail. Interest rates are the lowest they've been in history. And most of the buyers that are out are the serious one

Greetings and welcome to the Real Estate Entrepreneur Podcast, I am your host Peter Lorimer, former hit record producer, now host of the show Stay Here on Netflix and owner LA’s most creative boutique real estate firm, PLG Estates. This one's about the rest of 2020 and what I'm going to do on July 6th to create change, pour myself out for others, and grind. If you're in real estate or finance, you may want to listen to this one. Yes, we have to take precautions and we must be safe. But we can do all that AND still work our asses off. Not only that, we must. So that Monday following July 4th, I'm kicking it into high gear. I'm going to do my bit, and work to be of service for anyone that crosses my path. Dinner really does taste better with friends; we must come together. We must peer into the eyes of those around us and charge together towards a common goal of unity and giving. Hold a beautiful thought. Make it your goal. Share what you have. Help someone else. We're all in this together. Listen in to t

Greetings and welcome to the Real Estate Entrepreneur Podcast, I am your host Peter Lorimer, former hit record producer, now host of the show Stay Here on Netflix and owner LA’s most creative boutique real estate firm, PLG Estates. This chat with Dan Lesniak, author and real estate professional, is all about how NOT to be a squirrel. Find a model, stick with it, and watching it work. Here's how Dan does it: Pick an area to dominate, and make sure it's big enough to be worth going after. And then drill down on it. I'm here for that model. It's all about niching down and really, borderline obsessing over it. Execute, take in feedback, adjust, and tweak. Get it going in the right direction. You don't have to know all the answers on day one, but you have to start. And as you begin, analyze and refine along the way. His number one productivity tip is to start your day right. Wake up and get ready for the day. Dan rises around 4 or 5 in the morning, gets his biggest tasks out of the way, works out, and spend

Greetings and welcome to the Real Estate Entrepreneur Podcast, I am your host Peter Lorimer, former hit record producer, now host of the show Stay Here on Netflix and owner LA’s most creative boutique real estate firm, PLG Estates. We're under siege. But we should never, ever give in. Much like Britain in the midst of WWII, we've found ourselves fighting a terrible enemy. And I for one, will not give in to fear. I recently ran across William Churchill's speech during this time, and it reinstilled in me this: I refuse to yield to fear. As we all navigate what it looks like to return to work safely, remember that fear should never, ever navigate our decisions. Let's work hard, and if we're going to give in to anything, let's give into service, kindness, and compassion. If you're ready to slowly reenter and get back to work, this one's a great listen to get you fired up and confident for what's to come.   Golden Nuggets from this episode:   [02:31] “Yes, I'm scared of COVID, we're all scared of COVID l

If you've stuck around for even a little bit, you're most likely aware that I'm weak for all things technology. Additionally, I adore storytelling and connecting to real people. Enter Rebecca Rose, CEO and Nir Betran, COO of StudeoHQ. With Rebecca coming from a filmmaking background and Nir a strategy background - they've creatively combined forces to build this spectacular platform. In this episode of The Real Estate Entrepreneur, I had the privilege of chatting with them and getting a bit of a behind-the-scenes glance and what goes on. I urge you, if possible, to get your hands on the video format of this content - but warning: you'll probably drool over the lovely imagery in the storybooks. StudeoHQ is a strategy company first - with a core focus on interactive storytelling

Greetings and welcome to the Real Estate Entrepreneur Podcast, I am your host Peter Lorimer, former hit record producer, now host of the show Stay Here on Netflix and owner LA’s most creative boutique real estate firm, PLG Estates. As we trudge through this crisis and towards a hopeful and new normal, let's not let this opportunity to reset slip through our fingers. While, yes, there's business to be done, there's also a life to live. Yours, in particular. And I think, if you use these spare moments to dive into what you love about yours, you'll come out of this better for it. What was once important may not be as important because we've been forced to stay home and stare it all straight in the face. In this podcast, I share a rather personal story from my wedding that changed the trajectory of my life forever. Don't fight the reset. As tragic as all this is, let's dive in and use these moments to be changed and be better. Listen to this episode of the Real Estate Entrepreneur as I dive into practical

Greetings and welcome to the Real Estate Entrepreneur Podcast, I am your host Peter Lorimer, former hit record producer, now host of the show Stay Here on Netflix and owner LA’s most creative boutique real estate firm, PLG Estates. There's still a lot to trudge through, but I really believe that we're seeing the beginning footsteps of optimism. And in this week's podcast, I rant and rave about how we can take our own steps as well. For that to stay on the right track, we all need to proverbially + digitally join hands and stay safe... making sure that we're following protocols and protecting ourselves and others. But, while we do all that, I think we can get back to work. We can get back to our databases. We can get back to reaching out to our clients and prospects via video (Loom and BombBomb). Let's reactivate those databases. Let's reactivate those full-time working days. And let's reactivate serving. Give, give, give... positivity (if you have it), knowledge, and value. Let's collectively do our p

Greetings and welcome to the Real Estate Entrepreneur Podcast, I am your host Peter Lorimer, former hit record producer, now host of the show Stay Here on Netflix and owner LA’s most creative boutique real estate firm, PLG Estates. Real estate agents, buyers, and sellers are wondering what a world post-COVID looks like, and how to prepare for it. On the west coast, there's a concerted effort for us to figure a way out of this. Gentle, small footsteps on the road to optimism. We are trying to figure a way out of this disaster. And a question I've been getting a lot is, "How do we prepare for the market post-COVID?" I really like this question. So much so that I had to cover it in this week's podcast. Also, because I'm never one to rest on my laurels. I'm not one to wait around. I feel rest in staying in action. Of course, we must respect and follow the guidelines of the California Association of Realtors. So, how do you prepare for what's ahead? I find it best to put myself in the mind of my buyers and

Rob Jensen is the president of Rob Jensen Properties. He's commentated for numerous national broadcasting networks, and he's provided commentary for multiple publications. I love talking about niching down, and this guy has definitely done that. His 15 person brokerage specializes in guard-gated real estate. He also gets marketing. Producing content - videos, articles, etc. And he's upped his paid social ad strategy. There are lots of good tips surrounding how and what in this conversation. Oh, and in his spare time, he's an avid rock climber. How does he stay on top of the industry? He spends time reading key players and influencers, such as Robert Campbell, The Timing Letter, 1000watt, and Tom Ferry. He also plans ahead. We chatted about his morning routine and he said his

Greetings and welcome to the Real Estate Entrepreneur Podcast, I am your host Peter Lorimer, former hit record producer, now host of the show Stay Here on Netflix and owner LA’s most creative boutique real estate firm, PLG Estates. I've stayed offline for a moment - we've been dealing with so many problems as a country, and I felt it was right to tighten the reins a bit. But I've been getting loads of questions, and believe that now it's time to address some of them. A common theme running throughout my DMs, emails, and messages is motivation..."How do you stay motivated?" The news fills us with dread - because all of this is massive. So how in the world are we to stay motivated? Stick to your schedule. Honestly, you could stop here. You do this, you'll stay in action and you'll stay motivated. My literature teacher told me the story of a successful British writer who worked from home. Every single day, he rose at 7:30, ate breakfast, showered, and dressed. And then at 10:30, he began writing. Many time

Many would agree we are in a state of market disruption. And while I do agree, I also firmly believe that we do not wallow in that. We turn the corner. We pivot. And we prepare for the turnaround. One thing I used to hear all the dang time was "if only". Everyone had a case of the "if only"s and it was always, "If only I had time". Well, for many of us, now we do. Time to firm up that marketing strategy. Time to reach out. Time to get that CRM set up and organized. Let's come out of this saying, "Market disruption was the best thing that happened to me in ___ area of my business." To do that we need to put in some work. Because I see an optimistic turn in the next few weeks, and you don't want to look back and wish you'd used this time differently. Client engagement is paramo

Greetings and welcome to the Real Estate Entrepreneur Podcast, I am your host Peter Lorimer, former hit record producer, now host of the show Stay Here on Netflix and owner LA’s most creative boutique real estate firm, PLG Estates. Hope is the best medicine. Even though the current reality is quite dark, we can still cling to hope. We can still move forward. And, most importantly, we can focus on service. Serving others is going to be what gets us through this thing. How can you serve? Maybe you should send that note, donate to that charity, help out that elderly person. Kindness like that spreads, and it ignites hope and light in those around us. And that's what it's about. We are going to see cases rise. We are edging towards even darker days. And friends, that's why we need hope now, more than ever. We'll get through this thing. I have my eyes set on it. I believe that in 30 days we're going to slowly emerge from the other side. But we don't have to sit still now. We can offer hope, gratitude, and ki

Greetings and welcome to the Real Estate Entrepreneur Podcast, I am your host Peter Lorimer, former hit record producer, now host of the show Stay Here on Netflix and owner LA’s most creative boutique real estate firm, PLG Estates. We can choose to either lean into the light or to lean into fear. And it's completely understandable that many are teetering into fear. I really do get it, there's so much uncertainty and darkness out there. We're isolated. It's the right thing, and at home is where we should all be and stay. But that doesn't mean we can't connect. I'm choosing not to OD on binge-watching TV shows or filling my days with solitude. I'm choosing community. Because here's the deal: in real estate, we tend to know a whole bunch of people. A lot. Hundreds of touchpoints, ways to connect. And please hear me say this: In no way at all am I suggesting that now is a time to pitch anything or even mention real estate. I am saying to schedule a Zoom coffee with a friend. I am saying to set up a virtual

Greetings and welcome to the Real Estate Entrepreneur Podcast, I am your host Peter Lorimer, former hit record producer, now host of the show Stay Here on Netflix and owner LA’s most creative boutique real estate firm, PLG Estates. Take a deep breath. Pause. It's not time to react. Let's give ourselves a collective moment and gather some clarity of thought. There's a whole heap of unknowns out there right now. Here's what we do know: 1. That we don't know much. 2. We need to practice safe social distancing. Over the past several years, we've all been going, going, going. It's time to stop. We're going to have to relearn this, I think. It's time to breathe, and it's possibly time to create. To innovate. How is business going to be affected? We just don't know. We know that many businesses and hourly employees are struggling right now... and that should urge us to ask how we can help. What does this mean for real estate? Again, it's too early to tell. BUT - this too shall pass. Whenever I have decisions

Chandler David Smith found success in door-to-door pest control sales, making 96k in his first four months. He's the door-knocking success story. He then invested his earnings in real estate. He's 29 and he has over 120 doors of rentals. I've tended to cast a bit of shade towards door-knocking, but this guy blew me out of the water with his skills and success. Here's what I think I loved most about Chandler: He doesn't care what the rest of the world is doing, he does it his way. You'll get to hear firsthand exactly how he does it, too. It all comes down to three things: verbal, nonverbal, and para verbal communication. Today, he mentors sales reps to sell and invest in real estate. His top three pieces of advice: You need to know when to sprint. Don't bounce around. Know wh

Greetings and welcome to the Real Estate Entrepreneur Podcast, I am your host Peter Lorimer, former hit record producer, now host of the show Stay Here on Netflix and owner LA’s most creative boutique real estate firm, PLG Estates. I was recently on Jordan Paris's podcast and enjoyed the time so much that I had to have him on the show. He's a 22-year-old entrepreneur with a successful podcast and business under his belt who thrives on designing a life through love, joy, and curiosity. The time is now. And always will be. Don't stop yourself before you ever get a chance to start. It's never too late. (All industries are saturated. Just go.) We talked about his daily routine, how he gets in the zone, and a quote he lives by. One thing we really hit on was apprenticeships. You may have to work horrible, long hours - but it pays off immensely. He's created a glorious library of life already. Give this episode of The Real Estate Entrepreneur a listen and let me know what you think.     Golden Nuggets fro

Greetings and welcome to the Real Estate Entrepreneur Podcast, I am your host Peter Lorimer, former hit record producer, now host of the show Stay Here on Netflix and owner LA’s most creative boutique real estate firm, PLG Estates. Confidence is an art. Which is good news, because if you're not innately confident, don't worry. There are strategies for this. Lack of confidence typically comes down to two things: Fear of what others think and ego. And we can even simplify that further into this: lack of confidence is rooted in fear. A simple way to gain confidence is to educate yourself. Maybe you don't know enough. Don't wait for someone to teach you. Anything you could possibly want to learn is on YouTube. Confidence leads to action and action leads to success. The what-ifs, the second-guessing... those things are the dream, ambition, and career killers. And they all lead to vanilla decisions. Whenever I need to make a decision that has multiple choices, I get quiet, and ask myself, which way should I

Greetings and welcome to the Real Estate Entrepreneur Podcast, I am your host Peter Lorimer, former hit record producer, now host of the show Stay Here on Netflix and owner LA’s most creative boutique real estate firm, PLG Estates. The real estate industry is growing more and more vanilla as the years progress. As digital and data grow bigger, creativity and personal interactions begin to decrease. And I'm almost thankful for that. Because now, there's room for creative, entrepreneurial real estate agents to create their mark on all of the vanilla that's permeating the industry today. And it begins with your Unique Value Proposition. What is your UVP? For example, when I started, I had a very small niche. People in the music industry, then it eventually spanned to creatives. That's a key piece of PLG Estates Unique Value Proposition. Go out there and research and discover everything you can about Unique Value Propositions and work towards what yours is. We don't sell houses, we sell trust. It's never

Lots of knowledge bombs in this one. We all know I'm a technology nerd. So it's no surprise that I was thrilled to interview this week's guest, Ian Khan. This guy is the real deal. He's spoken at TedX multiple times, he's a Forbes contributor, and an author of some really amazing books, two of which are The Internet of Things, and a CNN Technology Expert. Ian doesn't like hype. He likes authenticity, he likes reality - and I dig it. An engineer by trade, and an educator at heart, he got his hands dirty in a lot of different industries and absorbed everything he could in the first 20 years of his career. One thing led to another (as things usually do on the path to success). When asked about success, he says that his has come from putting himself in an uncomfortable place, time
