  • 108: Center for REALTOR® Development 108: Mastering Win-Win Negotiation Strategies with Evan Fuchs: Part 1
    2025/04/21
    Today’s topic is so essential: negotiation! It has always been important. As our markets have been shifting and industry changes are happening, we need to go back to remembering the basic and core tenets of good negotiation while also understanding the nuanced parts of that shift within the market and the specific needs of our clients. My guest today, Evan Fuchs, is a 28-year award-winning REALTOR® and industry leader from Bullhead City, Arizona. Negotiation is one of those topics we need to learn about all the time. Unless you’re writing a book on negotiation, I suggest more education is helpful. I love learning from skilled negotiators wherever I come across their books or meet them, like Evan or even some of my clients, who teach me new ideas and angles to consider in my negotiation. Evan and I both believe in the long-term value of win-win negotiations in real estate. Evan shares insights on building relationships and finding mutually beneficial outcomes. We discuss the importance of offering options, how crucial it is to get professional training, and the value of tangible and intangible negotiation elements. Evan will tell you what those are. Let’s learn together! We are releasing this interview in two episodes. This is Part 1. [2:04] I am so glad to have Evan Fuchs with us today on the podcast! Welcome, Evan! [2:12] Evan is one of the very successful nice guys! If you ever get to meet Evan, talk to him. He’s delightful, smart, and friendly. We’re going to talk about negotiation, and he is the perfect person to have with us to talk about relationship negotiation because he’s kind and respectful. [2:33] We will discuss a win-win negotiation atmosphere and why that’s good. Evan, you’re a 28-year veteran, broker-owner, board member extraordinaire, association president, and winner! (Evan says that introduction will put a pep in his step!) [3:05] Monica describes her impostor-fighter shelf of awards and statues that remind her that she’s awesome at her job and connected. She recommends you have a shelf like that, and whenever you need a boost, look at your shelf and say, ‘Yeah, I got this’! [3:35] Evan heard Monica talk about the importance of celebrating in one of her podcast episodes. Evan is totally about celebrating, even little victories. [3:52] The win-win negotiation model is a mindset that negotiators adopt. Instead of trying to compete against somebody, they take responsibility for building a good relationship with the other negotiator to work together to find good outcomes for everybody. [4:47] Sometimes, one party does get a better deal, but can you do something to let the other party feel like they also have a good outcome? [5:14] Dan says that options give us power. If I have the myopic view that this is the outcome that’s good for me, and I can’t get you to agree with that, then the deal’s dead, but if we can work together and try to find other ways, then we have a chance of keeping the deal alive and getting to the closing table. [5:42] It’s about how to help you get what you want so I can get what I want. Let’s create many ways to get there and find the best one. [5:51] Everybody wants a deal. You may be working with a client looking at a transaction like a war. You have to help them find options and negotiate so both parties are happy with the outcome. Monica reminds agents that we must train ourselves and our clients to negotiate well. [7:06] Evan says that one out of four buyers want their buyer’s agent, above everything else, to negotiate for them. They would rather you be a good negotiator than be good at finding them a house. Monica invites you to improve your negotiating skills. Promote them as part of your value. [8:43] In this episode, we will keep the buyer’s agent negotiating with the seller’s agent for their clients as our context. In Episode 2, we will discuss the agents negotiating with their clients for various things. [10:09] Evan explains the tangibles and intangibles of negotiation. The top-line purchase price is tangible. There can also be a concession further down in the contract. That is also tangible and measurable. The things you put in the blanks on a contract refer to something measurable and tangible. [11:21] Price is just one element of the negotiation. Think of the price, terms, and everything else involved in the negotiation as representing a value package. Look at the bottom-line number and what you exchange to get to that number. That’s when you deal with both tangibles and intangibles. [12:23] Value negotiating is where I offer something to you that’s of higher value to you than it is to me. This could be like moving up the closing date if you are in a hurry. We trade it for something of low value to you but high value to me. That creates a win. [14:00] One of Monica’s favorite negotiations was between a ...

  • 107: Center for REALTOR® Development 107: Tech Meets Property: AI Trends in Real Estate with Dan Weisman: Part 2
    2025/04/07
    We are in Part 2 of my conversation with Dan Weisman about AI in the real estate industry. Dan is a director of innovation strategy in the Strategic Business Innovation and Technology Group at the National Association of REALTORS®. In his role, he researches technology, strategizes what this tech may mean in the future, and builds relationships with tech leaders to better understand and drive innovation in the real estate space. This episode is where we get practical, starting with using generative AI instead of Google for searches. How would that help you? What do you think about that? We’ll discuss software that is genuinely helpful for you in your business. We wrap up with virtual reality. As cool as it is, why do we not see it used more often? Dan gives us his insights. Let’s join him! [1:24] I am so glad to have more time with Dan Weisman to learn more AI tips. In this episode, we are going to get into practical things! You may want to listen again later and get some of the apps if you're driving. We will link any apps we mention in the show notes. Look them up when you park. [1:50] In the first episode, we discussed plug-ins and research to help us understand what’s available. [2:11] Dan Weisman is a Director of Innovation Strategy with the NAR. His team's focus is to look at and understand what technology is out there and help figure out how to drive innovation across the space to support membership in the industry. [3:33] Dan says the tech can be overwhelming. He does this full-time, and it seems something new every day if not every hour. You’ve got to be careful about not always chasing the shiny object. Many projects are getting built on generative AI products like ChatGPT and Gemini. [4:01] Dan’s team is trying to focus on the pain points the NAR membership feels in their transactions and tie together the research and the relationships NAR is building with startups and big tech companies to help REALTORS® to be more efficient and productive. [4:36] REALTORS® are talking to Dan about how many phone calls they receive and constantly being on call for their clients. Some cool products use AI to help schedule tasks and calendar meetings, almost like an AI assistant. [5:44] Monica is ready for those products! She keeps busy keeping track of her schedule between her Google calendar, notebook calendar, and wall calendar. [6:39] If you missed Part 1, generative AI is a tool that recently became more available to the public to generate information and content using artificial intelligence behind the scenes. Dan calls it Google search on steroids. Instead of multiple web pages, it gives you a relatively concise answer. [7:11] You can plug information into it and ask for a response, and it will help formulate it in whatever way you want, with context and tone. It’s for everyone. [7:56] Since ChatGPT launched, people have been talking about tech. Dan loves it! He’s been trying to talk about tech with agents for five years! It’s an opportunity for everyone to use a different type of AI product and service to free up some time to help them be more efficient. [9:17] Can Monica ask AI to orient her book in progress to another audience? Dan says yes, but it’s a tool in its infancy. It will do a good job manipulating the information you put into it to satisfy your request. Its accuracy varies. Like any work you put out, pay attention to what it says. [10:50] If Monica sees that you just copied and pasted your listing from ChatGPT, from the many long adjectives and how they sound, she does not trust it. Generative AI makes things up. [11:50] When Dan gives presentations, he uses the example of providing the data for a listing to ChatGPT, and ChatGPT writes the listing description but gives it the wrong number of bathrooms. Luckily, Dan checked it. ChatGPT can do complex things and at the same time make silly mistakes. [12:37] Always edit a listing for mistakes and personalize it as you want it to sound. It’s obvious when the human touch is missing. That is critical in real estate. [13:41] Monica uses AppSumo and Castmagic. Monica put a recording into Castmagic, which makes social media posts, transcripts, or show notes for a podcast. [14:15] There are many apps to take information, edit it, and simplify it for various content platforms. It reminds Dan of CliffsNotes. Monica mentions Blinkist. Whatever ChatGPT pushes out, ensure it is accurate and has the context and tone it should have. [16:17] Monica cites Otter, who takes notes in a meeting. When Monica sees the Otter notes from multiple people, she is overwhelmed by the quantity of information. Dan recommends focusing on your notes tool and tuning it to pull up the information you want. [17:26] One of the powers of generative AI is learning about you and what you are looking for as you communicate with it more. [18:34] When Dan gives ...

  • 106: Center for REALTOR® Development 106: Tech Meets Property: AI Trends in Real Estate with Dan Weisman: Part 1
    2025/03/24
    Today, we will talk about AI in the real estate industry with Dan Weisman, a director of innovation strategy in the Strategic Business Innovation and Technology Group at the National Association of REALTORS®. In his role, he researches technology, strategizes on what this tech may mean in the future, and builds relationships with tech leaders to understand better and drive innovation in the real estate space. He is in the thick of thought leadership, creating new things for us. I asked him how I, as an agent, could personally use AI to help me in my business. Sometimes I do not default to it as quickly as I should. I found our conversation to be very interesting. We are releasing it in two episodes. This episode's Part 1 provides a big-picture overview of where we are now. It’s amazing how fast things change! Then, we discuss some good suggestions for better habits. Let’s get right into it! [1:51] Welcome, Dan Weisman, back on the podcast! We’re so glad to have you! [2:07] Dan Weisman is NAR’s Director of Innovation Strategy. His team’s role is to look at and understand what technology is out there and help the membership figure out how it may fit into their business to make them more successful, productive, and efficient daily. [3:26] People inaccurately equate AI to ChatGPT. The concept of AI started 70 years ago. We now have the computing power and data to make sense of AI. ChatGPT is generative AI, a subset of AI. AI places the ads and suggestions we see on Facebook. [4:22] Generative AI is new to the average person because of its ability to use a technology like AI and know that it’s AI. You don’t need to understand how Gen AI works; you need to understand if it can help support you efficiently in what you’re focusing on, whether selling real estate or researching a vacation. [6:02] Generative AI refers to anything generated by artificial intelligence. OpenAI has ChatGPT and DALL-e, and Google has Gemini. Open AI powers Microsoft Co-Pilot. Midjourney was out before Open AI. The average person can search the internet and use Gen AI to ask questions and get results. [8:14] Generative AI is in its infancy. It’s like the beginning of the internet. People are not using Gen AI like they use Google today, but they will when they get used to it and find the value in it. It’s developing itself. The more information we put into it, the better it will get. It’s the future of search. [10:32] Dan is a Mac user who uses the ChatGPT app for Mac. When he hits Option-S, ChatGPT comes up, and he can search within seconds. Training his mind to think differently than going to Google to search is a matter of training him. He gets an efficient answer with ChatGPT instead of pages of links to read. [11:47] Dan thinks paying a monthly fee to use Gen AI is worth it. It finds the sources and gives you the results of all the searches. It’s worth the $20.00 if you use it once a day. It’s not that much compared to what we spend on other technology, like our phones. [13:53] Dan mentions Meta. Meta.AI is a similar product to ChatGPT. It’s built on Meta’s Llama 3 free so far product, a large language model that many people use behind the scenes. Microsoft's partnership with OpenAI powers Microsoft Copilot. [14:40] The big tech companies are investing and taking the lead in developing AI products and services. Google, especially, is working on this. Search is core to what Google does. There is healthy, strong, big tech competition. Dan worries that big tech companies will have too much control over AI. [15:48] Google just lost a suit by the government about having a monopoly on search, based on Google paying hardware companies for Google to be the default search engine. Dan hopes this sets a precedent for giving multiple companies more of a fair opportunity to get in on the Gen AI game. [17:42] Meta AI is catching up, as Google did with Gemini. Dan believes Meta will probably have a monthly subscription model to align more closely with what other companies are doing. These companies are losing billions of dollars on these products. Twenty dollars a month does not cover the usage. [18:39] Dan believes the current release of Meta AI is to give the public access to it. Their main goal seems to be to use Meta AI within their current products, Facebook and Instagram. They just needed something to get their name out there as a powerhouse. [19:25] Dan says it’s good to have competition. It’s good to have options to fit what you want. All AI products behave differently. [20:24] These companies aim to keep you in their ecosystem. Meta wants to keep you on Facebook and Instagram. [21:33] Dan states that some plug-ins are dangerous. It’s worse than just downloading an app. They have access to stuff you don’t realize. They may be searching your whole computer. Dan stays away from plug-ins for work. ...
