About the show

I‘m John Tsai, and my passion is to help other realtors double, triple, quadruple their production and income. I have been in the real estate game the past 15 years (since 2005). I’ve done the realtor grind - the 18 hour work days, 7 days a week, door knocking, cold calling, you name it. Everything else around me was falling apart and I was exhausted to say the least. There had to be a more efficient way to leverage myself. By taking everything I have learned and experienced over the past 15 years, I am excited to share my tools to take other realtors to the next level - how to go beast mode. These Podcasts are audio versions of my YouTube videos where I interview other high performing realtors and ask them how they achieved next level success. I hope they leave you moved, touched and inspired to take massive action in your business. LET‘S GROW!!!

How Real Estate Agents Can Earn More From Every Client (Agent Vertical Strategy)

Watch the Youtube video here: https://youtu.be/qB9qRijBUTc Join My Vancouver Realtor Team https://www.thealigngroup.ca/join-our-team Are you a real estate agent looking for ways to earn more from the clients you already have without constantly chasing new leads? In this training, we break down the Agent Vertical Strategy and how we can create additional income opportunities by expanding the value we provide to the relationships we have already built. We’ll look at how moving from a transactional role into a trusted advisor position can help us stay connected with clients and create opportunities beyond the initial real estate transaction. We’ll walk through the wealth-building flywheel, how buyers and sellers can be introduced to additional financial services, and how adding income verticals can complement our core real estate business. We’ll also explore how stronger client relationships can lead to repeat business, referrals, and additional revenue opportunities without simply relying on more real estate transactions. Whether you’re a new real estate agent, team leader, or experienced agent looking to grow your business, this training will give you a framework for getting more value from every client relationship. 👋 John Tsai 📲 (604) 603-0277 📧 john@thealigngroup.ca 📆 Schedule Discovery Call: Https://calendly.com/johntsairealestate 🏆 Brokered by: eXp Realty - The Align Group Join List More Close More https://www.listmoreclosemore.com Join My Vancouver Realtor Team https://www.thealigngroup.ca/join-our-team Join My EXP Expansion Group https://thealigninternational.com Highly Recommended Videos: 🌆 RESELLING MY FIRST LISTING 17 YEARS LATER - https://youtu.be/2pjT8vJJH7Y 🏗️ My daily schedule as a Realtor - https://youtu.be/4Oc8kmBfdsY 🤠 Scaling your business through relationships - https://youtu.be/CwnAQ7GubjI Connect 🌐 Website: www.listmoreclosemore.com 📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JohnTsaiPREC 📲 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tsairealestate 📱 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tsairealestate/ 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-tsai-78b96512/ Disclosures 😀 Info provided is opinion and for entertainment purposes. 💰 Links shared may be affiliate links to products or services.

Why Real Estate Buyers Are Buying Slower (And How To Stop Losing Them)

Watch the Youtube video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNYMg_vvpxs Join My Vancouver Realtor Team https://www.thealigngroup.ca/join-our... Why are your real estate buyer leads taking so much longer to make a decision? In this video, I break down why buyers are moving slower in today's high interest rate market, why chasing them is the worst thing you can do, and exactly how real estate agents should follow up so buyers come to you when they're ready. I'll cover how to identify true motivation-level 8, 9, and 10 buyers, why nurturing beats pushing every time, and why increasing your daily contacts matters more than working harder on the same five or ten leads. Losing a buyer is rarely about weak follow-up, it's about being on the wrong timeline. The agents who push hardest burn out fastest, while the ones who nurture with real value, keep their auto search running, and talk to more people every single day end up doing deals by default instead of forcing them. If you're ready to build this skill with real coaching and lead generation support, I go deeper inside the List More, Close More program and through eXp. 👋 John Tsai 📲 (604) 603-0277 📧 john@thealigngroup.ca 📆 Schedule Discovery Call: Https://calendly.com/johntsairealestate 🏆 Brokered by: eXp Realty - The Align Group Join List More Close More https://www.listmoreclosemore.com Join My Vancouver Realtor Team https://www.thealigngroup.ca/join-our...

Are you a new Realtor wondering what you should actually focus on to build a successful real estate business today? In this video, I break down exactly what I would do if I had to start over in real estate from zero, using the lessons I’ve learned over the past 20 years. From prospecting and open houses to social media, AI, and choosing the right niche, the fundamentals still matter more than most agents realize. Technology can make your business faster, but it cannot replace talking to people, building relationships, and doing the uncomfortable work consistently. I explain how I would combine AI and social media with cold calling, door knocking, networking, and daily prospecting to grow faster in today’s market. If you are starting your real estate career in 2026, this will give you a practical roadmap for what to focus on first. 👋 John Tsai 📲 (604) 603-0277 📧 john@thealigngroup.ca 📆 Schedule Discovery Call: Https://calendly.com/johntsairealestate 🏆 Brokered by: eXp Realty - The Align Group Join List More Close More https://www.listmoreclosemore.com Join My Vancouver Realtor Team https://www.thealigngroup.ca/join-our...
