A mid-2015 YouTube testimonial in which real estate agent Kodi Riddle describes one year of working with coach Lars Hedenborg. She explains that after 16 years in real estate and surviving earlier market crashes she adopted Lars’ step-by-step “blueprint,” built a team (husband, two buyer’s agents, one assistant), and by 2015 had matched six months of that year’s production to her entire 2014 output—crediting the blueprint for providing direction and doubling her production.
I have been working with Lars for exactly one year. In June of this year, it's been one year that I've been working with him. And I've been in real estate for 16 total years. And I have always done very well. I've been very happy, have sold plenty of homes, and just felt comfortable with the amount of, like, my production, if you will. I've always felt fine with that. And then the market in 2005, when it was so crazy, and then in 2009 and 10, when it was really horrible, I learned something. I had no clue. I learned I wasn't that great of an agent. Up until that point, I had just thought I was a rock star. And come to find out, I really had no clue. The market in our area was increasing during the time I was beginning my career, and it's kind of easy to sell real estate at that point, but in 2000, when it. When it crashed, I learned it was. It was either. You're gonna either sink or swim, I guess. I had to figure out how to actually sell real estate. And we. I picked myself up and made stuff happen, and I'm proud of that. But I was only just working my butt off just to make sure that ends were meeting and things were okay. But I knew I had to do something different, and I chose Lars because of when he calls it a blueprint. That's exactly what it is. It is a step by step of exactly what you need to do to grow your business. And by using that, it's been a really, really great kick in the butt for us. I have since brought my husband on board 100%. He and I are a team now, and we've hired two buyer's agents and one assistant, and we're implementing things. And it's hard work, but with the help of Lars and the blueprint, I feel like I'm not making mistakes when I take each step. It's just implementation and move forward. I trust him completely. I trust what he's taught us. I've learned a little bit about him as a human being, and I truly admire what he's done and what he's given me as a realtor and just as a person. Sounds cheesy, but true. It's been really great. Was I skeptical before signing up? Sure. But I've tried just about everything. I always do. I've read a million books. I've implemented so many different things, and each one of them did a little bit here and there, but nothing was ever as comprehensive as the blueprint is. And that one. It's just been. Been a world of difference. So our business this year, 2015, I started in June 2014, and in 2015 we have sold as many homes and has had much production in 2015 now for over six months as we have for the entire year of 2014. And the goal was to double. My goal last year was to double the year before. And I had no direction and no thought, and I didn't do it. There was. This year I have direction, I have a plan, I have a team now. And that's all because of Lars Hedinborg. So if you have the drive and the heart and you want to make something happen, I really. I'd highly suggest you give this a go. I'm not going to lie to you and say that it's easy, because it isn't. What is easy is that there's the path. And now it's up to you whether you have the. The energy and the gumption to actually put it all together. But I will tell you, if you join, you'll have. It's going to sound harsh, but you're going to have only yourself to blame if it doesn't happen, because everything else is there. So there you go. I wish you the best. And here's to crushing it.
