IN THIS ISSUE
HIGH PROOF TOOLS & LINKS
We love sharing new tools and tips with our readers. If you have a tool or link that you think is worthy of sharing, be sure and drop us a note so we can share the love!
We switched our email platform to Beehiiv last year. One of the reasons we switched is that it gave us the ability to have a “post” tied to each email we sent out. You might be asking yourself why that would be important. It’s nearly impossible to get accurate data with the way that email clients pre-scan and pre-click links, etc. However, even with the stats we have we can see that about 1 in 2 people do not open every single issue of High Proof News that we send. Having the ability to share a link allows people to refer back to it later. As an example, here are the last 3 issues we shipped.

January 12thLooking for something to read? Many of you heard Kenny Letner speak in 2024 and if you missed him, you have an opportunity to hear him in 2025. Kenny just released a book titled “Accidental Real Estate” it is available as both a paperback as well as a hardcover.
Without diving into politics, it is important to still be informed. This week President Trump has moved forward with placing tariffs on goods imported from several countries. The National Association of Home Builders has wrote a letter to the President asking that an exemption be placed for building materials. According to the letter, nearly 25% of all building materials are imported from either Canada or Mexico.
We still have a few topics still to release for Real Estate Distilled, 2025 and one of those topics includes property management. To get an idea on how many of our community members participate in property management, we created a poll in the Facebook Group. Please drop in there and answer the poll.

INDEPENDENT BROKER FORUM
Running a brokerage can often be SO overwhelming sometimes.
There are dozens of plates that you need to keep spinning, and there are endless demands.
What brokers really need is NOT more noise.
We need clarity. A chance to step back, see through the fog, and focus on what actually works.
Specifically, what is getting results when it comes to the BIG 3 - recruiting, retention, and production.
That’s why for the last few years I've been hosting Independent Broker Masterminds, and why so many brokers and team leaders have plugged in and joined us through the years.
This isn’t just a day of theory. It’s real conversations, collaborative problem-solving, and practical strategies tailored to the challenges you face every day.
This year, is we’re getting together on March 4th, as a pre-conference bolt on option for Real Estate Distilled.
Our topics we’ll focus around…
Recruiting and retaining top agents.
Creating systems that scale and reduce stress.
Boosting agent productivity and team morale.
A special keynote from Jake Dixon w/ The Locker Room.
We limited the number of people in the room to 70 people, and we’ve sold the majority of seats, but we still have 25 seats open, so be sure to visit our website, grab your ticket, and join on March 4th and then optionally stay for Real Estate Distilled on the 5th and 6th.
