What if everything you've been doing to market yourself as a real estate agent is actually keeping you trapped in a bloody "red ocean" of competition? In this game-changing episode, Kevin Kauffman sits down with Greg Hague, founder of 72 Sold and pioneer of program-based real estate marketing, to challenge the fundamental assumptions about how agents should position themselves.

Greg shares the breakthrough moment when, as a struggling new agent unable to get listings, he developed his first "irresistible offer" that completely changed the decision criteria for sellers. This innovation launched a career filled with bold, market-disrupting programs that have consistently delivered superior results regardless of market conditions.

From the "marketing hierarchy" that explains why certain channels automatically confer higher credibility, to the revolutionary "counteroffer intelligence" technique that extracts higher offers from buyers 70-80% of the time, this episode is packed with immediately applicable strategies to differentiate yourself in a crowded marketplace.

Key Points:

Why marketing a program instead of your personal qualities creates a "blue ocean" where competition becomes irrelevant

The four-tier marketing hierarchy and why higher-credibility channels can actually cost less than traditional approaches

How 72 Sold adapted their program during COVID and the 2021 market frenzy to address the specific concerns keeping sellers up at night

The 12-step system designed to increase the probability of higher sale prices

Why the coming changes to buyer agent compensation represent a massive opportunity for agents willing to innovate

The consumer-first philosophy that should guide real estate organizations

This episode will make you rethink everything about how you position yourself in the marketplace and provide a blueprint for creating your own irresistible program that makes competition irrelevant.

Whether you're a new agent looking to gain traction, or an experienced professional seeking to differentiate yourself in a crowded marketplace, Greg's insights on creating blue ocean opportunities will transform how you approach your business.
