The question for this episode of the Over Ask Podcast is how you, as a real estate professional, can build a local community for your real estate business—and why you should.
To answer those questions, Atlanta real estate agent Matt LaMarsh joins Matt Lionetti and The Broke Agent to discuss how his real estate business exploded once he joined and then started his own Porsche Facebook group.
He talks about the importance of posting content around your passions—and how to share a passion for expensive cars (or other luxury items) without coming across as a show-off.
He also reveals what put him off the original Porsche group, why he started his own, how he drew other Porsche lovers to his group, and the impact this had on his business.
