Propy\u2019s weekly webinar Episode #24<\/a> was with President and COO of Douglas Elliman, Scott Durkin, a self-described prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of @BarbaraCorcoran<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scott Durkin, along with Propy\u2019s CEO Natalia and Propy\u2019s tech advisor William, discuss the lessons learned under Barbara Corcoran\u2019s tutelage, and how it has served him in his current role. Scott shares the importance of finding mentors at every stage of your career.  He also discusses how real estate agents must embrace social media and leverage technology to create connections while we adapt to working remotely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How I fell into real estate<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In 1990, I was on an appointment with an incredibly rude agent, and with my background in the hospitality industry, I wondered what could be accomplished in this business by being nice? That was my \u201cah-ha\u201d moment that propelled my career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life lessons learned from @BarbaraCorcoran<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I met Barbara at a company picnic and didn\u2019t actually know who she was. We played volleyball together that day, and shortly after, she asked that I work exclusively with her. She told me that \u201cwhen she inhaled, I would exhale,\u201d<\/em> and she didn\u2019t know anyone like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barbara came from a large family and was good at sharing and making others feel important. She felt that your home life and your business life need to mirror each other. Barbara surrounded herself with positive people and felt there was no place for drama or negativity in the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her attitude was to find the best people, get them in the room together, and then magic happens. Don\u2019t bring your ego into the room<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHave people around you that are smarter than you, who know things that you don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

How to find a great mentor<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re looking for a mentor, look to see who the most respected agents are, and watch to see who everyone goes to for advice. That is the person you will want to mentor with. Develop that relationship. Find the person you can learn the most from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t pick someone with the same personality as you. You\u2019re not looking for a friend \u2013 you are looking for a trusted advisor.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Tech Disruption in real estate<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During the dot.com boom, there was the fear agents would all be replaced by computers or robots. That hasn\u2019t happened, and it won\u2019t happen. We need technology to run our business, but no tech company can replace the expertise of an agent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn from the Millennials<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m seeing a kind of reverse mentorship happening, where older agents are having the Millennials and Gen Z\u2019s teach them how to more effectively use social media to stay relevant.  Agents must embrace social media and learn how to connect with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Market Trends<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Markets are really hot right now in many areas, and combined with historic low-interest rates, this is the time to buy. I don\u2019t think the market will crash anytime soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Post-COVID Trends<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s time to be comfortable in your work and home environment. Fashion is trending towards a relaxed look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On my reading list<\/strong>

Awesome book by Tracy Tutor, Fear Is Just a Four-Letter Word: How to Develop the Unstoppable Confidence to Own Any Room<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
