Each week you're going to hear from some of the best coaches, leaders, brokers, top-producing agents and social media experts, all with one goal. We'll continue the sales and marketing tactics to up your game today. Okay, now let's jump back into the latest episode, Real Estate Uncensored. Alright boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back! We have Nick Sekas, we have Gene Volpe, and of course, Greg McDaniel here, the Junior Grandmaster here. We're going to be talking about all kinds of crazy stuff. We're going to do a quick in and out show. Now this is the new format we're coming up with and we're playing around with a little bit. Let us know what you guys think about it in the comments. We're going to be doing one question each and we're going to be trying to banter and baffle each other. Who can answer the question accurately? We want to see if you guys can too as well. But before we get into that, Mr. Nick Sekas, the ever-shrinking man, how are you? We want this show to be quick. We want it to be fun. We want it to be faster than our normal Real Estate Uncensored. I'm doing fantastic. I want everybody to look at the title above or below depending on what platform you're watching this on. You'll see a link there that says Video Ask. What we're doing with this show is we want to make this as interactive as possible and we want your questions for us to answer live on the air. What will happen when you click that link, you have two options. One option is a text question. You can actually, if you're afraid of the camera, you can go ahead and text us a question and let us know what you'd like us to answer on the show for you. We'll give you a call out if you sent us a picture. We'll have it in there, but it doesn't have to be a video. If you do send us a video message, we'll be able to pull it up like this and answer it live on the show. What's up, R.U. Nation? This is an example of a question. So if you hit the link in the comments, you can ask any question you want and then we are going to post it on the show. So Mr. Greg McDaniel, what color underwear are you wearing today? I am wearing gray underwear today. Gray underwear. Got it. Yeah, I can show you if you guys want to see it. Hold on. Can we real quick? Can we go back? Yeah. Play that again, Nick. Go make yourself full size. It's going to mute you if you're going to say something though. I'm not going to say anything. I'm going to take it. What's up, R.U. Nation? This is an example of a... Go full size. Go full size and then play it over you. Because it's me on top of me. It's hilarious. Do what I'm taking. That sounds so weird and kinky. It's so funny. What's up, R.U. Nation? This is an example of a question. So if you hit the link in the comments, you can ask any question you want and then we are going to post it on the show. So Mr. Greg McDaniel, what color underwear are you wearing today? I'm going to use that. That one wasn't as good as the first time because your shoulders weren't aligned. Like you're listening to the things on Apple. You've got to come back and watch the show. You put that video over his live video and it looks like he's talking. I took a screenshot of it. It looks good. Nice. So the idea is click the damn link and ask us some questions. Let's have some fun on the show and we'll highlight anybody who sends us a video. Just like that, you can be live on air with us. Yeah, hang out with us. We don't bite hard. I mean, maybe a little nibble here and there. I mean, Nick likes to nibble. Gene likes to kick. I like to just sit back and watch. So we're a bunch of weirdos, but we have a lot of fun. All those are jokes. Of course, everybody. So I don't think that's a heart. But let's get to our questions really quickly. Nick, let's start with your first question on our first in and out show. Oh, man. You put me right on the damn spot. Hold on. Let's cue this up here because this is what we got. So we got the official timer. And my question, obviously, because it's asking to you, Mr. Lee, Jen, Scripps and Objections, last week, we just had a banking collapse. So I'm a for sale by owner. I'm looking to sell my house, but Greg McDaniel calls me and now I'm saying, dude, I have my house on the market, but with his banking collapse, I really don't know what I'm going to do. I might take my house off the market. I don't think I'm interested in talking to anybody or showing my house anymore. Okay. So first off, I'm not a financial advisor, neither am I a mortgage broker in any way, shape or form. So the advice I would give to somebody when it comes to a conversation like that is very simple. It would be, look, are you looking to buy yourself? What's your number? How much would you want? When would you want to move? Where would you want to move with in town or out of town? How can I assist you? And then if I can't help you, I can't, I can't, I can't. Everybody thinks that they can help everybody. That's not the reality of the world. So qualify and quantify the right people that you're going to spend time with, because if you spend time with people who waste your time, you're wasting the opportunity for the ability to serve somebody else at the highest and best ability of your professional career. So to sum this up is very simple. Be very careful, be protective of your time, your knowledge and your skills. Whoa. I didn't, I didn't upload our last video of Billy Madison. You were thinking the same thing. I was actually looking forward to the question at all of you. I'm going to smack both of you. And we all all know Dumber for having sat through that. We are now Dumber for listening to your, what, team out of your mouth. I think we should do that. I think that should be our new thing that every time Greg answers a question where that just gets, we're going to, I'll cue that up for next. Gene, and then you got to play that real quick. I want to find it. And they got to have mercy on yourself. I've got to make a immersion yourself. You know, I'm going to find a clip to ridicule you. You showed, I think it's. Yes. Absolutely. Go. I got to fix, Ken. All right. So Nick, you're up. So Gene, what is the question for Nick? Oh, wait. Is that how we're doing it? I don't fucking know. It's our first question. No, no, no, no. Well, here's what I think is the right thing. I think Nick's question goes to each one of us. I get a minute now. And then my question goes to each one of you. And then your question goes to each one of us. Okay. We'll wrap around. Okay. Cool. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah. Cool. So the person that has the question, the other two don't know it, but they each get a shot. Okay. Good. And what, Gene, as the evil ball ninja marketing guy, what would you say to a for sale by the banks just collapsed and I'm going to stay home. I don't want to sell my house anymore. I would say you're correct. Run for the hills. Everybody's scared. Get your money out of the banks. That's what it would sound like on the phone, I think. You know, I honestly would need more information, Nick. So I'm going to be honest with you, right? Because right now I would have two sides of that. So I would say to you, what kind of equity you have in it? Like what does this look like when you're done? Are you going to walk away with cash and you're going to take that cash and put it into an institution? You're telling me you're worried about? Okay. Let's talk about that. Or maybe if you're worried about something, maybe the safest place for your cash is keeping it in the equity of your home. So maybe that's the play, right? And I know real estate agents don't want to hear that because that means you're not making a commission. But if I'm talking to you and I'm keeping the answer in your best interest and I'm becoming your advisor in this case. And again, like Greg, I'm no financial advisor in the exact opposite of that. And let's really talk about what your wants and needs are first. And then I can guide you based off of how where you're scared, where you want to put your money. And you're ordered no points and we are all done. So Gene was on the right path of wants and needs. Oh, you're on his side now. I'm on his side right now. He tells him to bury in, but he said something that's really important there, which is he started to enter the motivation side. So like in my mind, the first thing, somebody says something like that. Well, yes, outside circumstances that you have no control over might have changed. But what are the reasons why you wanted to list and move in the first place? What are the circumstances in your life that you have control over that is the primary reasons and finding out that why? If it's still that you need a job transfer and you're moving somewhere else, if it's still, you got a divorce and your wife's moving it like there's things that are still happening in your life that doesn't necessarily correlate. So finding out those specific reasons and why to begin with and then reiterating on how you can still help them focus on those wise and it obtained the goal of actually selling the house, then that was kind of where I was going with that. Sir, wouldn't we have done that in your timer countdown? He did. Oh, no, no, he, no, because he was. This was a recap because both of you failed the question, so I had to recap. So that's really, do I need a recap timer? We should do a recap. Oh my God. Final rebuttal. There's a final rebuttal. All right, let's go to Nick Saka's. Nick, same question to you. What is your name? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, we have new questions. Your turn, Greg. You have the question. You have the question. You ask the other people that don't have the question. Okay, here's the question. I'm going on just flying off the cuff here. Yes, yes. This is for Gene. Gene's going first. With the banking crisis that has been taking place in the last couple of days, guys and gals, we are recording this on 315, 2023. The Silicon Bank has failed. Another three banks have failed. Another fourth bank, me, failed. How do you feel this would affect your clients buying or selling abilities? Me personally, I don't think it's for the most part going to affect anybody's buying and selling abilities. This will actually be shorter than the 60 seconds, other than the fear factor that we just talked about. I think people may be more inclined to stay put and not make a big transaction because of what's happening as opposed to maybe then not being able to get a loan to buy because the banks are quote unquote failing. I think this is for me, there was actually a TikTok recently by one of these representatives. I don't know if he was a senator or a rep or whatever. He's talking about calm down, don't fuel the panic and the chaos. Everything's going to be fine. It'll shake out. There's either that or you're running for the hills. There's something in between. I don't really think it's going to affect anything for the most part except your psyche and your ability to run through with the transaction. I think that's complete bullshit. Good. Well, in seven seconds, sir, because you're still going to wait for my time to expire now because I haven't yielded it to the senator from Danville, California. There you go. Now, you can rebut. Oh, no, it's actually a next turn and then you can rebut. I got a really good video that I should have downloaded that I'm going to try to download real quick while we're on the show and share it. All about that. My thought process behind this. Hey, give the counter. Give the counter. You're not immune to this shit. So fear, uncertainty and doubt have been at all time high for a long time, right? And the number one class of people right now that aren't selling their house are the people that have a ton of equity and are locked into a three to four percent interest rate. So this is just another cherry on top of that. I'm not going to sell because I have a golden loan right now and even though I have a ton of equity trapped in this house, I'm not trading my three percent mortgage for anybody for any reason. And now I know that there's the top tier bank, the most risky bank. Now they had a lot of crypto exposure. They were doing investments on tech startups. So like from a banking tier perspective, they were at the top of the pool as far as risk are more real estate banks are more risk of verse. I'd put it that way. So if I'm having a conversation with somebody, again, going back to motivation, why do you need to sell? What are your circumstances currently? That bank was a very risky bank. It was in crypto, had crypto holdings and startup capital. Mr. and Mrs. Seller, if your circumstances haven't changed, I would highly recommend that you take action. Now, before we get into a situation where interest rates will continue to rise because all smarter people than me right now are saying that that's going to be the case. All right. Let's take a quick break from the show. If you want to turn your real estate career into a lifestyle of freedom and passive income, then reach out to us. The best way to do it is to just text Greg at 925-915-1978. That's 925-915-1978. And he will take a call day or night. In fact, you can send him anything you want, voice messages, pictures, whatever. No, I'm kidding. Just text Greg and set up a time to chat about exp because if you've heard about it, and you're not sure whether you should pull the trigger and move over, we want to help you make that decision and be as supportive as we can and give you the information that you truly need to make the best decision about where you hang your license. So reach out to us and we'll talk to you soon. Okay. Well, we lost about seven seconds of that because you went over your time, sir, from Florida. So we're going to take that and we're going to redact that. Redact? Yeah, that's pretty good. I think we got colored words. I think you used it right. We got college words happening now. That's pretty good. Look, I want to say to people, I think this is interesting that we, so just to be clear, because I think we're all over the place in the structure of the show, each one of us picked our own question without letting anybody else know and pre-show. Like nobody knew what those questions were going to be. This is supposed to be in the moment, real time answering, tap dancing around a question that somebody else is asking them on the fly, right? And it's funny that I kind of feel like these will be dated because a year from now you'll go back and you'll go all three guys talked about the same thing, which was this banking collapse. That must have been the du jour issue of the day. I kind of think it's funny that all three of us individually picked those things, picked those questions and they all related to the same topic. Please describe the image on the screen right now. And are we going to be able to get audio on this? Oh, no. Oh, no, I'm still sharing, huh? Oh, yeah, you're definitely sharing. I wasn't sharing. Greg, Greg threw it up on the screen. I'm trying to do some long background here. All right, here we go. Watch this video. This is, I don't remember if they were custom or not on this. This is a TikTok. So I don't have an opportunity to respond to this? I'm sure you will. Oh, yeah, you go first. Yeah, do that. Hold on. Let me bring the timer up again. Okay. Oh, the question. Who asked the question? Oh, nobody did yet. It's my turn. But we didn't ask the question yet. Okay, go ahead. No, I just, I was making a statement, right? This shows a fucking shit show. Can I bring up the TikTok video first? Based on our last question, which is I'm not moving. Yeah, we all going to sell it. They come in to give us a price this week. We are not selling my fucking house. Why? Because where we going motherfucker? Where we going? When we moved here, what I said to you. You said, oh, don't worry Lisa, everything be fine. So how to New York? Yeah, but now it's like we can throw the money on it. Let's do it. I don't give a fuck if I get three times in now to fucking money. I'm not moving. I'm going to fucking die here motherfucker. Okay. I'm done moving. I'm not packing a fucking box. And I'm not leaving my friends. Go fuck yourself. That's your first time I enter that you're calling right now. The husband put it up on the market and now you got the wife answer in the phone. How do you answer that call? That's actually the question. Okay, you want to run the script? I'm not selling my fucking house. He said, I'm not sure if there was cursing in it. We'll just play it. Yeah, I forgot. I forgot. That was the most vulgar we've been on the show for a long time. She made me want to call her and say to her, you probably make a mean meatball. I'm coming over. Yeah. Anybody who cold calls has gotten that person on the call on the other side. For sure. Dude, I've done over 700,000 cold calls. Trust me, I've gotten worse than that. I've gotten verbal threats on my life. I've gotten verbal threats on my parents life. It just the list goes on and on and on. But I sit there and I'm like, you don't even know where I live. Do you? All right, what's your question? I knew you got to wrap it up for 20 minutes in. Yeah, we're one minute away from. We're 16 minutes in. Shut up. All right. So question, who's going next? Well, I guess you probably guessed that it's related to the banking collapse. So my question is I'm going to try to keep super simple. Really shit, I'm scared and I'm running for the hills and pulling all my money or some sort of other thing that you're doing to protect yourself or this is going to pass. I'm not doing anything and why? Okay, Nick first. It's everything will pass. Again, this is the same question we've had three times. It's back to motivation. It's back to motivation. You got to find the core motivation of why these people originally got into your world to begin with. Have circumstances changed or not? If they haven't, at the end of the day, you can have all the scripts and objections and everything in your back pocket to know how to handle people. But you can't make somebody buy a house. You can't make somebody sell a house. All you're doing is leading them to the point where they can make a rational decision for themselves. So if their decision is based on fear, like they're never going to refer you again. If you try to talk them into it, this is not a $100 pair of shoes in the middle of them all. You're not that slick. Nobody's that slick. This is a huge purchase. So finding the core motivation, figuring out if you can still help them at this time and make it make sense for them. Put all the cards on the table, remove the emotion, hear the facts, here's what it'll be if you wait another 30 days. Here's what's going to happen. End of story. Okay. So hold on Greg, before you answer. Hold on. No, what I meant and I was going to stop you in 10 seconds in Nick. I didn't mean that was a cold call. I meant what is Nick Saka still in. So that was a question directly for now that's a question directly for Greg McDaniel. Greg, you're pulling your money for the markets. You're scared or you're it'll pass. I'm not going to worry about it. Actually, I'm a cash diamond and gold guy and bullets. So I keep I have a very large safe. So I mean my large amount of my capital was out of the banks. I keep gold. I keep diamond that keep bullets, I keep guns in in my safe and around my safe so that when and if this was ever to happen, I would be able to protect myself because I can trade all of those assets for other things that I need or want in my life. When it comes to the banking and the bank runs that are taking place right now, ladies and gentlemen, as of 3 15 20 23 people are freaking out because that is digital money. That's not real money. The banks don't have the money because they've reinvested it into other assets that they're making 18% on. You're making maybe 2% on if you're fucking lucky and I'm like, you know what? That's a bullshit fucking opportunity. And so that's why I decided to do what I do. And also being that we there's cash, gold and diamonds. What is your address for the people? Yeah. Oh, it's a 1 800 gene vote. Yeah. And 123 main street dot anywhere USA. Yes. All right. Wrap it up. All right. Boys and girls. Look, we joke we just we have a lot of fun. We enjoy each other. We just we banter a lot. But we also are working with a lot of folks that you're working with right now. So if you're having someone like myself who is a gun toting Republican white male, you know, that has guns, cash, diamonds and gold sitting there safe because I knew something like this was coming or if you're someone else that is not that mindset, that's fine. I really don't care. I still love you. But you can still go out there. You can still influence somebody. Go get that money out of the bank. Go go go protect yourself. Go get some water supplies. Go get some food. Go go do anything. This not traditional and just see how it feels. Just don't, you know, baby pinky in into the pool. Just see how it feels. Not a big deal. Take $100 out and go buy something. But all of a sudden, the family is protected. Like I carry a knife with me everywhere I go. And people are always thankful when I have my knife because I can open packages. I can crack a beer. I can break a window if I need to to help a dog go out. If someone leaves a dog in the car, it's just being open minded in regards to not being traditionalized. Don't be the single person that's always going to be like, oh my God, I'm going to just put my mind in the bank. This can be totally safe. Gene, what the fuck are you laughing about? I can't wait to play all that back. That was such a great clip. People are always thankful for what I have my knife in case I got to make homemade spaghetti. I didn't say that. I never said that. I said I was going to open a beer, motherfucker. You think food, I think alcohol. You totally do. Oh my God. I love you. You know I love it. It was just another one of those. You got to clip that out, Nick. That little piece there was gold, bro. Watch it. I hate you guys. I hate you guys. You guys, everybody who's watching or listening, let us know if you like this new format. We already have one submission from today's show that we'll post for next week. But we want it to be quick and more fun, less serious, and we're still doing our Friday recording. So, the real estate uncensored rewind that Gene coined.

I hope everybody is watching and subscribe to the YouTube channel because that's where our original core content of REU, which is the interviews of people that are doing amazing things. And we want to keep this short show for social to have fun. Well, because we laugh. I mean, think about this. A lot of times, a lot of folks don't laugh anymore. They're so serious about everything. We want to make this something where people can go in. We can make fun of each other. I mean, genes make fun of me, you know, nicks made fun of me. I make fun of them. But we don't mean it in a malicious manner. We mean it in just being, you know, brothers in arms and just having a blast doing it. So guys, go out there and find somebody who can do that for you. Go out there and find somebody that wants to laugh with you and have just an enjoyable day. It's very simple, boys and girls.
