"The Entertaining Realtor" Herman Chan on The Massive Abundance Entrepreneur Show!

One of my favorite interviews this year! Host Chris Stafford pecked my brain during his show for entrepreneurs called Massive Abundance. What mistake did I make with Yelp!? If I were new agent with just $1000, what would I do? And more secrets to my success! 


Chris also speaks around the country like me, so it meant a lot to me that he writes: 
I interviewed the "entertainer" Realtor, Herman Chan.  Man, this guy is filled with so much energy and enthusiasm. 
 
And he found a niche marketing as a top producing Realtor being on TV shows, in newspapers, etc.  Great way to think outside the box!
 
Check out the interview here!   And leave a comment as well!

New Real Estate Podcasts with The Property Beat on BlogTalkRadio
Picture
Real Estate talk show hosts Cliff Perotti & Lisa Perotti  had me on their program The Property Beat...and boy what fun! These 2 grilled me about what's happening in this outrageous SF market, how I started videoblogging and more!  

Tune into the show to find out my answers to:

1.   What are the challenges you see for a first time home buyer in SF today?

2.   What do you think about the market today vs. last year… is it better, flat or not as good?

3.  what advice do you give a buyer who’s writing an offer in a multiple offer situation?

4.   So, is your notoriety helping your clients? Or is it helping you get clients?

5.   We’re seeing some agents out there that like to price a property on the low side, in an effort to generate overbid frenzy. Do you recommend this strategy for a seller today?

6.   What are the top three things you think a seller can do to maximize the selling price of their home?

NY Times best selling author Dave Jenks ("Millionaire Real Estate Agent") and I are the 1st  interviews for Super Agents Live Talk Show. Listen to how I got started (hint: it had nothing to do with real estate!) and how you can too! 
Herman Chan is a speaker, trainer and real estate internet celebrity.  In this episode Herman tells us how he went from being a model and working at The Gap to selling high end homes and speaking at conferences.

Herman breaks down how he uses social media and how that has built his authority in the industry.  That authority has yielded speaking and television appearances.  He has an easy to implement approach for Instagram. He also explains how his videos have yielded media attention.

Herman has a just do it mentality that inspired me to begin shooting some videos.  I think you are going to enjoy this episode.

I started Habitat For Hermanity as a videoblog years ago, so I love sharing how video is  not only a great brand builder for agents but it's what consumers expect now! 73% of consumers say they prefer agents who use video. Shocker: Only 1 in 10 agents have a youtube account!

Herman Chan Radio Personality Real Estate Q&A Expert
Doling out real estate advice with a side of sass is my thang! Having a blast on air on 'Lifestyle Kaleidoscope' with Tily Chao! I loved all the questions, very insightful and current. Hope the 92.3FM listeners got some good info-tainment! Below are the questions and links to the broadcast.

Part ONE: 20 min

Part TWO: 10 minutes
KSJO 92.3 FM KLOK 1170 AM

(Intro in Chinese: Tily)
今 天邀请到一位 很特别的 来宾。雖然他的 專業是 房產經濟人,但他在主流 媒體的曝光率 是 頻繁的 也是 多元化的。他的專業知識 除了在 灣區房產 經紀之外,還包括 室內 裝潢設計,美食推薦,與 專題 演講。  他的 專業 網站,“Habitat for Hermanity” 包含了 如何成為一位 成功的 房產經紀人的 視頻博客,以及 綜藝節目評論等。雖然如此,與他 在房地產上 合作過的 客戶,對他 評價 卻是 贊不絕口。現在就讓我們來 認識這位 擁有 獨特魅力的 百萬房產 經紀人,Mr. Herman Chan.
1.  What does it take to make yourself stand out among other real estate brokers?
2.  You seem to be interested and are knowledgeable in so many areas besides real estate, brokerage, including interior decoration, TV entertainment, restaurant recommendations, just to name a few.  What are you most interested in and why?
3.  Do you think home prices are over-priced in the Bay Area?
4.  How long do you think this hot trend will last in the San Francisco Bay Area?
5.  Since this is a seller’s market, do you recommend perhaps older people sell their homes, make some money, and buy a home elsewhere to live, or people whose job situation isn’t so secure to sell their home while the market is hot?  
6.  Besides high rental prices, lower mortgage rates, loosened credit history review, demand from some overseas investors, and perhaps a slight economic recovery in certain sectors, what’s driving such a craze all of a sudden?
7.  If people would like to get in touch with you for advice on anything, how should they contact you?

Kindred spirit Kelly Mitchell interviews me on her super duper popular show Agent Caffeine! Click here for the podcast! 


"This episode of Agent Caffeine takes us to the land of Hermanity.  High fashion, good humor and a funtastic diva rolled into one.  We talk about going from blah to delish and being true to you.  Herman Chan has built an incredible persona.  He’s created opportunities from many different channels including, MTV, HGTV, Huffington Post and the San Francisco Chronicle.  Herman’s also a hot speaking commodity.  You get the authentic nature of his spirit by the fun he has describing what he does as well as his self-deprecating nature. Chan is a superstar in his own right.  Truly a refreshing spin out of the land of vanilla-mess and into the land of sparkling individuality.  If you need inspiration on being yourself and embracing your true authentic brand, Herman has wise words of advice for you". - Kelly Mitchell

The Hip Roof Radio Show invited little ol' me to be the guest of honor on their real estate show. The hosts Maya Paveza & Fred Glick are real estate stars, so I'm sooo humbled. Starting at 18m 29s, we dish about:

*Brokers who micromanage agents. Are they nosy or just doing their job? 
*California is a mess, is it still worth it to live here? 
*New documentary Queen of Versailles? 90,000 sq ft mansion 
*My new idol Elle, who shot to fame for selling her house once her boo left her! 

*Seller beware! Some agents don't care about selling your place, they just use your listing to get more biz!

Mother Love Talk Show: Two Divas dish about Real Estate!

I just got off the air with the one and only Mother Love!  She is everything that I aspire to be: smart, caring & sassy.  With both our larger than life personalities, we had the most stupendous time.  That hour just zipped by!  I hope her audience not only got a kick out of me but learned a few things about the real estate biz too.

Mother Love grilled me about anal retentive agents, real estate TV shows, McMansions & why I started my videoblog. She also reveals her pet peeve when she was shopping for a home too!

After the show, I got a message from a listener: "Thank you for discussing real estate in a funny accessible way!" What can I say, it's my schtick.

My favorite excerpt:
Mother Love: Where do you see yourself in 10 yrs?
Hermanity: Married with children! j/k.... I'll have my own TV Show
