Oh Evelyn, I can't sit still or pay attention very long. I have attention deficit disorder. There is no one more motivated than me. I think about real estate and meeting people day and night and even dream of it. I am not knocking coaching but it is not for me.

I've been coached by the Mike Ferry Organization in the past and currently. I pay $1,000 per month because otherwise I will not hold myself accountable to do what I'm supposed to.  Also, being around other top agents keeps you from getting too complacent, which is always a challenge.

I don't feel like I have had a coach but have been the coach. I have trusted friends that I rely on.

The Agent you choose REALLY does make a difference

Yes --- and no. I did coaching for a year with KW, but though I was committed for the annual fee, the coaches were not...I found the change hugely disruptive. Just when I "bought in" I was back to square one.

Was it a waste of money - not at all. It is all about accountability - it is all about returning to the basics.  It is all about getting it right with the "man (or in my case - lady) in the mirror".

Mike Ferry.  Spent around $20,000 with him but no matter how I tried (in the beginning) I just could not justify his methods.

Evelyn,

What are you really asking?  I have seen you ask a similar question before!  A

I was coached by Erica and Bill Nasby who focus on door-knocking, both great, and by Darryl Davis on cold-calling FSBOs and expireds - he is amazing.  I am no longer coaching with anyone.  The Nasbys I stopped because of expense and Darryl because I switched firms and my new firm frowns on cold-calling.
