One of the most common mistakes my coaching clients make is that they never take the time to create a diverse real estate lead generation plan that really works for them. Instead, they jump from strategy to strategy and guru to guru and never really find the mix that generates enough leads and referrals. Sound familiar?

New home sales are on fire. June was a really, really good month for new home builders. In fact, you’d have to reach back to 2007 to find a month with a similar sales rate, according to the Commerce Department. That sales were up nearly 14% and this figure is nearly 7 percent more than last year (pre-chaos) is good news for the housing market. Low mortgage rates acted as the bait, but the overwhelming urge of so many Americans to move out of the cities was a big attraction as well.
