Welcome to The REAL in Real Estate Podcast, your go-to show for real estate success! In this episode, host Jean is joined by Luke Acree, President of ReminderMedia, for a masterclass on relationship marketing. If you've ever wondered why satisfied clients don't always return or how to stand out in a crowded market, this conversation is for you. Luke provides the proven strategies you need to build unbreakable client loyalty and grow your business.

Luke Acree is a lead generation specialist and referral expert who has helped over 100,000 entrepreneurs by teaching them to build businesses based on relationships. Under his leadership, ReminderMedia has achieved over $300 million in sales and has been recognized on the Inc. 5000 list of America's fasting-growing companies for four consecutive years.

In this episode, you will learn:

✔️ How to Overcome the "Loyalty Gap": Discover why up to 90% of clients are satisfied, yet only 11-23% use the same agent again. Luke explains how to bridge this gap and ensure you're the one agent clients call, especially since 81% of sellers only interview one agent.

✔️ The "5 for 5" Call Strategy: Learn Luke's #1 piece of advice for any agent. This simple, powerful strategy involves spending just five minutes a day making five personal "thinking about you" calls to your database to put your marketing efforts "on steroids."

✔️ Strategies to Stand Out from the "Agent Pile": In a market with 1.5 million agents, learn how to differentiate yourself with exclusive marketing tools like personally branded magazines and automated digital campaigns that save you time and keep you top-of-mind.

✔️ Using Data to Predict Your Next Lead: Uncover the "likely to move" algorithm that uses "D-list" life events (divorce, diapers, downsizing, etc.) to predict who is likely to sell their home in the next 12-24 months, giving you a massive advantage in targeted outreach.

Episode Summary:

Welcome to The REAL in Real Estate Podcast, your essential guide to navigating the dynamic world of real estate! In this insightful episode, we're joined by Roland Atlinger from the Harris County Appraisal District (HCAD), who shares expert advice and insider tips to empower every homeowner, buyer, and seller. The goal is simple: to get the facts out to the public about how property appraisals and taxes really work.

Roland Atlinger, with an incredible 40 years in real estate and 36 years at HCAD, provides a masterclass on the largest appraisal district in Texas. Learn the inner workings of the organization that appraises nearly 1.9 million properties annually.

In this episode, you will learn:

✔️ The Protest Process Demystified: Discover why the May 15th deadline is critical, what you are actually protesting (hint: it's not your taxes), and how you can easily file a protest online from home using tools like "I-settle."

✔️ Unlocking Homestead Exemption Savings: Learn how the homestead exemption can slash a tax bill from $12,000 down to $5,500. We cover the new law that lets you file any day of the year and how the school tax exemption has increased to $100,000, saving you more money than ever.

✔️ How Your Property Value is Actually Determined: Bust the myth of the automatic 10% increase. Roland explains how the 10% homestead cap works and why over 40% of properties in Harris County saw a decrease in value in 2024.

✔️ Critical Exemptions You Can't Afford to Miss: Get the details on other vital exemptions, including those for homeowners over 65, disabled veterans, and the essential Temporary Disaster Exemption for properties damaged in natural disasters.

Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of property appraisals, exemptions, and the protest process directly from an HCAD expert!
