Michael teaches top producing real estate agents worldwide to \u201cthink like a marketer\u201d and not like \u201ctraditional\u201d agents.\xa0Over the past fifteen years, LaFido and his team developed a method that takes a more comprehensive, proactive approach to marketing a home.\xa0 Every property is assessed with the homeowner, and a customizable blueprint to position the home in front of more buyers and brokers is created.\xa0 Our goal is to create massive exposure and press both online and offline to targeted both buyers, brokers, and influencers worldwide.\n\xa0\nConnect with me (Tom):\n\n\n2nd Home Agents website (https://www.2ndhomeagents.com)\n\n\nFacebook (https://www.facebook.com/SellingTheDreamPodcast/)\n\n\nInstagram (https://www.instagram.com/2ndhomeagents/)\n\n\nYouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChQ6EyLRV-26Pbr4Z_Voj9A)\n\n\n\nSubscribe to the Show\nDon\u2019t miss a single episode of the podcast.
