Month 2-3 Objectives

• Build your database from 200 to 400 contacts
• 3-5 transactions in pipeline (mix of buys and sells)
• Close or get under contract 1-2 deals
• Identify your best lead source by ROI
• Develop one geographic farm (zip code or neighborhood)
• Hold 5-10 open houses
• Build referral relationships with lenders, inspectors and attorneys

Day 90 Benchmarks

• 1,000+ total calls made
• 200+ unique contacts in your database
• 2-3 closed or closing transactions
• $25,000-50,000 in gross commission
• Farm area established with 20+ door knocks and marketing touches
• A video testimonial or case study ready for marketing
• A plan for Month 4+ with scaled team or production systems

Developing Your Daily Routine

By day 90, your routine should be automatic. Morning power dial block of 75-100 calls. Afternoon appointments and showings. Evening follow-up and planning. Time blocks are non-negotiable. Treat them like client meetings, with no interruptions during dialer time. Results come from repetition and consistency, not luck.

Geographic Farming Strategy

Pick one zip code or neighborhood of 500-1,000 homes and become the expert. Send monthly newsletters. Door knock quarterly. Farm for 12 months minimum. Goal: become the top producer in that zip code.

Farming touches: door knocking, direct mail, phone prospecting, local social media posts, open houses, yard signs, neighborhood emails and community events. Track every touch. Expect 1 listing or buyer for every 50-100 touches.

Open House Strategy

Open houses are lead generation events, not sales events. Attend every open house in your farm. Sign in all visitors and follow up on 100% within 24 hours. Expect 30-50 sign-ins per open house and target 5-10 qualified leads.

• Day of: arrive early, set signs in the neighborhood (if allowed), have coffee and snacks ready, show the home to every visitor, collect names and phone numbers, and ask about their timeline and needs.
• Follow-up: call or text within 24 hours, email property information, offer a buyer consultation and schedule showings of matching properties. Most visitors are 6-12 months from buying. Plant the seed and follow up systematically.

Building Referral Networks

Success in real estate is a team sport. Meet with lenders, inspectors, title companies, attorneys and contractors in your area, and share referrals. These relationships generate 20-30% of your business long term.

• Ryan and Megan partnership: send every buyer to Ryan and Megan for pre-qualification. They have programs for every buyer situation: DPA, physician loans, bank statement loans and investment property financing. They send quality leads back to you.
• Agent-to-agent referrals: when a buyer or seller is outside your comfort zone or market, refer to another agent. Many refer back. Join local REALTOR associations and attend networking events. Strong agents know strong agents.

Initial Buyer Consultation

• Cover: timeline, budget, family situation (job relocation, new baby, school), property preferences, concerns, previous buying experience, pre-approval status, desired neighborhoods and contingencies.
• Ask: Why are you buying now? How long do you plan to stay? What will make you happy in a home? What are the deal breakers? Do you have money down? What's your timeline for closing?
• Goals: build trust, understand motivation, set clear expectations, get a signed buyer agency agreement, send to Ryan and Megan for pre-qualification and schedule the next showing.

Buyer Agency Agreement

Explains your role, the buyer's rights, the broker's role and commission. Sign before showing properties using the brokerage template. Buyer agency protects both of you. If the buyer works with another agent, the agreement becomes void.

Pre-Qualification with Ryan and Megan

Send the buyer to Ryan and Megan immediately. They handle pre-qualification, down payment assistance programs and loan program recommendations, and call back within 24 hours with a pre-qual letter. Buyers get pre-qualified before serious shopping.

• Ask about DPA, physician loans, bank statement financing and conventional, FHA and VA options.
• Contact: www.winslowloan.com, 386-690-5858.
• Ryan NMLS 2426605. Megan NMLS 2692933. The Federal Savings Bank, lending in all 50 states.

Property Search Strategy

• MLS alerts: set up automatic alerts matching buyer criteria. New listings reach the buyer within 12 hours, before the competition.
• Showing prep: pull comps 24 hours before. Research the neighborhood and its pros and cons. Walk the property alone first, note issues, gather feedback questions and be ready to discuss price strategy.
• Feedback: right after the showing, ask, "What do you think?" Listen to objections. Ask, "On a scale of 1-10, where does this rank?" Guide the buyer toward qualified properties.

Writing Offers

• Competitive analysis: pull recent sales (last 90 days), identify days on market, check whether it is a buyer or seller market, price strategically and ask the seller's agent about other expected offers.
• Structure: purchase price, earnest money deposit (EMD), inspection period (7-10 days typical), appraisal contingency, financing contingency, closing timeline (typically 21-30 days) and closing cost credits.
• Escalation clauses: in multiple offers, escalate $5,000-10,000 above the highest offer. This protects the buyer from overpaying while showing motivation.
• Timing: write the offer the same day the buyer falls in love. Include a financing contingency unless the buyer is cash. Remove contingencies only if necessary to win.

Negotiation Tactics

• Home inspection: allow the full period, review the report with the buyer, prioritize repairs and request remedies for major issues (roof, foundation, HVAC). Let small cosmetic issues go.
• Appraisal issues: if the appraisal comes in low, ask the seller to reduce price. If the buyer won't cover the difference, renegotiate. Prepare comps to challenge the appraisal if needed.
• Seller concessions: closing costs, property taxes and HOA dues. Seller typically covers 2-3% of purchase price in buyer concessions.
• Timeline flexibility: if the buyer needs a different date, trade for extra EMD or contingency removal. Early closing can earn a price reduction. Late closing can mean a price increase.

Under Contract to Close

• Timeline (30-45 days typical): days 1-3 finalize inspection and appraisal, days 5-10 complete inspection and request repairs, days 10-15 appraisal and lender approval, days 15-30 final walkthrough and closing prep, days 30-45 closing.
• Milestones: appraisal ordered (day 1), inspection report received (day 7), inspection contingency expires (day 10), appraisal completed (day 14), title insurance ordered (day 15), clear to close (day 20), final walkthrough (day before closing).
• Closing prep: verify credits and terms, confirm time and location, deliver the closing disclosure 3 days before closing and review it with the buyer, and coordinate wire instructions.

Closing Day Process

• Final walkthrough (day before or morning of): walk the property with the buyer and listing agent. Verify agreed repairs, check for damage since inspection, confirm the seller removed personal property and included fixtures are present. Address issues immediately.
• At the closing table: meet the buyer at the title company, review the closing disclosure once more, answer final questions, sign documents (typically 20-30 pages), wire funds from lender and buyer, sign the closing statement, receive the signed deed and get keys.

Post-Closing

• Confirm recording.
• Send a congratulations email.
• Provide a welcome packet with home systems information.
• Offer post-closing support for 30-60 days.
• Request a Google review and testimonial.
• Add the buyer to your past client database for referrals and market updates.

Working with Title Companies

The title company researches title history, issues title insurance, coordinates the closing meeting, prepares closing documents, records the deed and disburses funds. Winslow Homes works with multiple title companies across our four states. Ask your broker for preferred vendors.

• Your role: verify the title insurance amount, request a preliminary title report to confirm no liens, coordinate timing, confirm closing location and time with buyer and lender, and review the closing disclosure 3 days before closing.
• Title issues: if a lien, easement or boundary issue is found, work with the title company and seller to resolve it before closing. Title insurance protects the buyer from hidden issues after closing.

Home Inspection Process

• As buyer's agent: order the inspection within 2 days of contract with a 3-hour window. The buyer attends (optional but recommended). The report arrives within 24-48 hours. Prioritize major issues (roof, foundation, HVAC, plumbing, electrical) and negotiate repairs or concessions for significant items.
• As seller's agent: disclose known issues upfront and consider a pre-listing inspection. Be present to answer questions. Help the seller choose repair vs credit. Major repairs (roof replacement $8,000+) often work better as a credit. Minor repairs work better completed by the seller.
• Contingency: the buyer has 7-10 days to inspect and request repairs. The seller has 3-5 days to respond. Removal happens after agreement on repairs or acceptance as-is.

Appraisal Process

• Ordered by the lender within 2-3 days. The appraiser visits, measures square footage, notes condition and compares recent sales. Due within 7-10 days.
• What gets appraised: size, condition, comparable sales, age, major systems, recent updates and market conditions. The appraiser is independent and lender-hired, protecting the lender, not the buyer.
• Low appraisal: the buyer can renegotiate down to appraised value, make up the difference in cash, or walk away if an appraisal contingency exists. Prepare comps to support your price.
• Repairs and appraisal: if major repairs are refused, the appraisal may still come in low. Appraisers note defects, and the lender may not lend the full amount.

Loan Contingency Timeline

• Days 1-3: lender pulls credit, processes the application, orders the appraisal and requests paystubs, tax returns and bank statements.
• Days 4-7: appraisal scheduled. Underwriting begins. Lender may request more documentation.
• Days 7-14: appraisal completed. Underwriting review. Conditional approval or clear to close.
• Days 14-21: all conditions satisfied. Clear to close received. Final verification of employment and assets. Final walkthrough approved.
• Day 21+: closing day. Funds transferred. Deed recorded. Title insured.

Commission Check and Payment Process

• Structure: your split depends on your independent contractor agreement. Commission is paid on closed transactions only, from the title company after recording.
• Timeline: typically 5-10 business days after closing. The title company collects buyer and seller side commissions, and the broker processes your check.
• Use the check request form with transaction details, closing date and commission amount.
• Track all transaction details in the Winslow back office. Verify splits, confirm closing dates and use it for accounting and year-end tax documentation.

Post-Close Follow-Up

• Within 24 hours: congratulations email and a welcome packet with home system info, utility contacts and emergency numbers.
• Within 30 days: request a Google review, ask for a testimonial and offer 30-60 days of follow-up support.
• Quarterly: touch base, send market updates and ask for referrals. Build a lifetime relationship.
• Database: update Winslow CRM with closing details, add to your past client group, schedule future follow-ups and review referral potential. Every past client is a referral source for 5-7 years after the transaction.

Lead Source Overview

• Paid vs organic vs sphere: paid leads are immediate but expensive. Organic (farming, referrals, sphere) is slow to start and highly profitable long term. Sphere is the fastest path to deals in year one.
• ROI: track cost per lead, conversion rate (leads to appointments) and closing rate (appointments to contracts), then multiply by average commission. Example: 100 cold calls at $0, 2 appointments, 1 close at $5,000 commission is infinite ROI.
• Year 1 mix: 40% sphere, 30% cold calling and door knocking, 20% open houses, 10% referrals. Adjust to your results.

Cold Calling Mastery (100+ a Day)

• Setup: load expired, FSBO and pre-foreclosure lists into Mojo Dialer. 75-100 calls by noon is a realistic daily goal.
• Technique: read the script but sound natural. Smile while calling. Use the prospect's name twice. Pause and listen. Always ask for a commitment.
• Voicemail: every 5th call. Say your name and number twice. Keep it to 20 seconds.
• Callbacks: call again the next day. The 3rd attempt can be a text. After 3 attempts, move on.
• Tracking: log every call in Winslow CRM the same day with the outcome. Expect 1-2 qualified appointments per 50 calls.

Circle Prospecting

• Just Sold: pull homes sold in your target neighborhood in the last 30 days and call neighbors. "I see your neighbor just sold their home on [street]. Are you thinking about moving?"
• Just Listed: pull new listings daily and call neighbors within 2 blocks. "A new home is being sold on [street] for $[price]. Have you seen it?"
• Lead quality: when neighbors see homes selling, they think about selling their own.
• Consistency: call the same neighborhood 50+ times over 12 months. Expect 2-4 listings a year.

Expired Listings

• Finding them: Mojo and the MLS expired filter. Most expire 30-60-90 days after list date. Pull weekly and call within 2 days of expiration.
• Pitch: "There are three reasons homes don't sell: price, marketing or presentation. I specialize in reselling homes that didn't move the first time. I'd like 15 minutes to show you what professional marketing looks like."
• Motivation: 5-10% switch to you. Expireds convert at 3-5x the rate of cold calls.
• Commitment: 50 expired calls brings 2-3 appointments and 1 new listing agreement.

FSBO Conversion

• Finding FSBOs: Mojo for sale by owner lists, Zillow and Realtor.com, and "By Owner" signs. Pull weekly lists.
• Position value, not cost: "You're saving commission, but you're losing market exposure, buyer quality and negotiation expertise."
• 85% of FSBOs eventually list with an agent, typically after 30-60 days of frustration.
• Approach: door knock if you have the address, leave a door hanger with a market analysis, call the next week and follow up every 2 weeks.
• 100 FSBO contacts typically yields 3-5 listing agreements over 12 months.

Website and Online Leads

• Website leads from winslowhomesllc.com route straight into Winslow CRM. Automatic text and email replies go out and the AI assistant responds while you call.
• Online leads are warm but competitive. Contact within 5 minutes. The first agent to respond usually wins.
• Facebook ads: target your farm neighborhoods. "Thinking about selling? Get your free market analysis." Typically $5-15 per lead. Call and email immediately.
• Tracking: tag every lead by source in Winslow CRM. Most agents see online leads convert at 5-10%.

Open House Lead Generation

• Sign in every visitor with name, phone and email. Ask about timeline and neighborhood interest.
• Expected traffic: 30-50 visitors, 20-30 sign-ins, 5-10 qualified leads.
• Follow up within 24 hours. Visitors take 6-12 months to convert, but conversion is high (15-20%).
• Hold open houses every weekend in your farm. After 12 months you've captured 500+ lead interactions.
• No cost, time only. Expect 2-4 deals a year from open house leads.

Door Knocking Strategy

• Setup: pick your farm, identify 100-200 addresses, create a route and plan 50 knocks a week minimum.
• The knock: "Hi, I'm [Name], real estate agent with Winslow Homes. I work in this neighborhood and wanted to introduce myself and leave my card. Any questions about your home's value or the market?"
• Best times: weekday evenings 5-7 PM and Saturdays 10 AM-1 PM.
• Consistency: same neighborhood weekly for 12 months. Expect 5-10 listing leads from 200 homes.
• Safety: go in pairs if uncomfortable, carry only cards and hangers, never enter homes uninvited and trust your instincts.

Referral-Based Business

• Past clients: monthly market updates and "Who do you know planning to buy or sell?" One past client produces 1-3 referrals a year.
• Agent network: refer deals outside your market and accept referrals in. 20% of your business can come from agent referrals long term.
• Centers of influence: accountants, attorneys, contractors, financial advisors and insurance agents. Coffee meetings quarterly.
• By years 3-5, 50%+ of your business is referral-based.

Mortgage Partnership Leads with Ryan and Megan

• Referral flow: you send every buyer to Ryan and Megan for pre-qualification. Pre-approved customers looking for homes get referred back to you as buyer's agent.
• Expected yield: 10-20% of these referrals become closings (others are out of area or have timeline issues).
• Relationship: learn their programs and refer every buyer. Ryan and Megan are team players who send referrals back aggressively.
• Contact: www.winslowloan.com, 386-690-5858. Ryan NMLS 2426605. Megan NMLS 2692933. The Federal Savings Bank.

Community Involvement

• Networking groups: BNI (Business Network International), local REALTOR associations and merchant associations.
• Content authority: write for local publications, host buyer and seller webinars and speak at community events. Expect 5-10 qualified leads a year.
• Budget: $100-500 a month for sponsorships and memberships. ROI appears in years 2-3.

Hiring Your First Assistant

• When: after consistently producing 15+ transactions a year, when your time is the bottleneck.
• Role: ISA (calls and lead follow-up) or Transaction Coordinator (paperwork, deadlines, closing coordination).
• Cost: $2,000-3,500 a month or 20-25% of your commission increase. A good assistant raises productivity 30-50%. If you close 15 deals and they help you close 20-25, ROI is immediate.
• Skills: organized, detail-oriented, phone skills, tech-savvy. Hire for attitude and loyalty. Skills can be taught.

Building a Team

• When: after consistently producing 30+ transactions a year with systems you can teach.
• Structure: you list homes and recruit sellers. Buyer agents convert buyer leads. Showing agents show properties. A TC manages transactions. An ISA generates leads.
• Culture: build on trust, systems and shared success. Invest in training. Celebrate wins together.
• Training: use scripts, playbooks and coaching from the training library, plus coaching programs like Tom Ferry. Your team grows as fast as your leadership grows.

Systems and SOPs

• Document everything: buyer process, seller process, lead follow-up, transaction management and closing coordination.
• Lead generation SOP: lead types, contact sequence, follow-up frequency, qualifying questions, objections and appointment setting.
• Listing SOP: research, CMA, presentation script, pricing, marketing timeline, buyer broker follow-up and showing feedback.
• Buyer SOP: consultation, pre-qualification with Ryan and Megan, MLS alerts, showings, offers, negotiation and closing.
• Benefit: new team members ramp faster and quality stays consistent.

Multiple Market Expansion

• Winslow Homes operates in Florida, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. If you're in Florida, test Massachusetts. If you're in Massachusetts, test Florida.
• Steps: learn the new MLS, build a referral network, hire a buyer agent in the new market and list there while your team handles showings.
• Expected ROI: $5,000-10,000 in marketing and travel to enter. 2-3 deals in months 6-12. Multiple markets can mean 3-5x revenue by years 3-5.
• Broker support: market data, MLS access and team support across all four states.

Referral Network at Scale

• National agent network: refer clients outside your market and receive clients in it. By years 3-5, 20-30% of your business can come from this network.
• Strategic partners: lenders (Ryan and Megan), inspectors, title companies and contractors. Each partner can send 5-10 referrals a year.
• Result: by year 5, leads come to you. This is the position every 7-figure producer aims for.

Brand Building Beyond Brokerage

• Your personal brand (name, reputation, systems) becomes one of your most valuable assets.
• Visibility: speak at industry events, write articles, host podcasts and appear on local news for market updates. Published author or speaker means premium positioning and stronger recruiting.
• Leverage: once your name carries weight, you can build secondary businesses such as consulting, coaching and training. Most 7-figure agents have 3-4 revenue streams by years 5-7.
