Bring the Real Estate Game to Life

by | Oct 29, 2025

This year’s World Series is underway.

The last few weeks have been filled with remarkable plays, tight games, and down-to-the-wire finishes.  And Monday night’s 18-inning game lasted almost seven hours!

As fans watch these games on television, most of their attention is focused on the action taking place on the field.

But have you ever noticed there’s also a need for commentary?

We want someone to interpret what’s really happening on the field and give us the inside story.

What’s the track record of the person at bat?  What are his chances of succeeding? Is he able to handle the pressure?   And dozens of more questions.

Doubt this is true?  Try watching a game while muting the sound, and see how uncomfortable it feels!

Like in baseball, real estate agents don’t like watching the market without commentary.

They want a commentator (a true expert) to help them understand what’s really happening.

As a leader in your local market, you have the responsibility to take on this role for your agents and the opportunity to provide commentary for your competitors’ agents, as well.

If an agent is watching the market with the volume turned down, they often will welcome your insight.

It’s a great way to get a recruiting conversation going.

There are several well-documented strategies researchers have discovered, but the easiest one to implement quickly is using a structured interview process. Develop a common set of questions for your interviews and record the answers candidates provide (take notes). And then try to hold back judgment until after the interview and when you’ve had time to review your notes.

Doing Only the Things You Like Doing

For most recruiters and hiring managers, recruiting is a complex, end-to-end process containing a bunch of the individual tasks all of which they’re not going to enjoy. Those who push through unpleasant tasks not only find success but also find more satisfaction in the parts of the recruiting process they do enjoy.
