This episode of the Better and Better podcast is packed with valuable tips and actionable nuggets that you can apply to your business to grow and succeed.

Join us as we sit down with two real estate veterans, Liz Novotny, SPAAR Metro YPN Committee Member, and Jeff Zajak, 2024 SPAAR Metro YPN Vice Chair, who share their personal journeys and expert advice. Liz, a former teacher turned REALTOR® with over 17 years of experience, and Jeff, an area sales manager with 21 years in the business, discuss the critical role of networking and relationship building in their success.

Liz highlights how her transition from teaching to real estate was bolstered by her networking efforts, attending various Chamber of Commerce events, and forming valuable partnerships. She emphasizes the importance of being seen as a resource, not just a real estate agent, by connecting with a diverse range of professionals.

Jeff shares his organic approach to networking, underscoring the significance of being part of the real estate community and professional groups, and consistently following up with clients and colleagues. Both experts agree that genuine connection and active listening are key components to building strong, lasting relationships in real estate.

Whether it's attending networking events, volunteering, or simply sending handwritten notes, Liz and Jeff provide practical strategies to help you become top-of-mind in your network without being overbearing.

Tune in to discover how you can enhance your networking skills and build meaningful relationships that drive your real estate business forward.
