After a heated back-and-forth in the Real Estate Media Facebook Group between a Zillow exec and some REP business owners (Reed included,) Upmarket thought it's just about time to do an episode focused on Zillow and their new ShowtingTime+ Listing Media Services. A representative from Zillow was invited to be on the show, and after enthusiastically agreeing to do it, eventually ended up pulling the plug on the appearance. The Pod waits for no Zillow rep, so Reed and Mark talk all things Zillow amongst themselves in this episode. Topics covered: Why REP's do not, ahem, like Zillow. How Zillow values REP's. The true motives behind Zillow launching ShowingTime+. Why RE agents do not, ahem, like Zillow. Under what circumstances Upmarket Media would offer Zillow 3D to their clients. Mark's accent. What Zillow can do solve their big problem of having MLS's downscale photos before syndication. AND MORE. Don't miss the flaming-hot takes raining down from this episode!!!!!

The guys end it with two more Action Items that listeners can use to help grow their Real Estate Media Businesses.

Get out from behind your camera and actually talk to your (potential) clients! This week is all about the power of in-person marketing. With Mark back in the studio, he and Reed go through all the successes they've had with their face-to-face marketing in 2023. From brokerage presentations, to client lunches, to networking events (including Reed's controversial appearance in a heated on-stage game of Realtor Feud) and much more. The guys go deep on all of it (including shoe strategy) so that the audience can apply the same strategies to their own businesses and start to reap the incredible benefits of prolific and repeated in-person marketing!

This week Mark is on vacation, so Producer Chelsea pinch-hits and sits down with Reed to chat. They don't just talk about Chelsea's recent culinary adventures in Paris, they actually cover Real Estate Media as well! First, they delve into a recent Inman article titled "7 Power-Moves Top Agents are Making Right Now." (Shout-out to Tacey Youngmann of Snowberry Lane Photography in WA for summarizing the article and posting it in the FB groups!) Even though the article geared for RE Agents, there is a ton of good and relevant stuff to go over for Real Estate Media folk. Basically, be smart, but Double-Down on what you're doing. That's the "Power-Move" that can position you strongly for the boom times. In the second half of the show, they talk about all the ways Upmarket Media is doubling-down on their marketing. The episode ends with a couple Action Items that listeners can use to help grow their own Real Estate Media Businesses!

Reed and Mark chat about the course a bit this episode, but the bulk of time is spent talking BUSINESS. Specifically, how with Chelsea on vacation for 2 weeks, the guys are feeling thrust back into the pre-merger, pre-scaled version of their companies. It is not fun. Especially as it has now been 4 straight months of record-low listings in Ventura County and the business is feeling it. But don't despair! Hope is on the horizon. The guys shed more light on the big brokerage deals they're finalizing, and the surprising new avenues these deals are opening up for expanding Upmarket Media. As always, the episode ends with a couple Action Items that listeners can use to help grow their own Real Estate Media Businesses!

This week Upmarket Pod is thrilled that Anthony Taing and Kamika Bruland of CoLab Media have made the long trek from Olympia, Washington to Ojai CA to sit down with Reed and Mark to dish all things Real Estate Media. Anthony and Kamika talk about how they have diversified their Real Estate industry offerings to include home staging and even house cleaning to their menu of options. They also share the ups and downs of life as business, as well as romantic partners. It was so fun to talk with this engaging, inspiring couple and get a ton of actionable advice for Upmarket listeners.

"We have no idea what we're doing, ever." This week, we finally get a REALTOR to admit that out loud! Ignacio Anzaldo, a REALTOR from LIV Sotheby's International Realty in Ventura CA joins Reed for a super fun and (sometimes off the rails) chat about the current state of the overall real estate market (will any of us ever work again????) Ignacio tells us not to fret, that all the smartest REALTORS will be doubling down on their marketing during lean times. With beers flowing, HOt tAEkS abound in the second half of the show when Reed asks Ignacio questions crowdsourced from the private REP Facebook groups. They cover a lot of ground and make some BOLD STATEMENTS. This unfiltered episode finally ends with a couple of earnest Action Items from the guys.

The long-awaited sequel to Upmarket Episode 16: Big Deals, this episode gives listeners the lowdown on the current statuses of the BIG DEALS talked about in the previous episode. Spoilers ahead if you haven't listened to Ep 16 (go back and do it now!)... In this follow-up, Reed and Mark dish on the the (somewhat) mini version of the the big retail job they were up for last fall that they just landed. Turns out it the perfect timing to help alleviate the (extremely) slow season blues Upmarket has been having the last few months. Then in the second half of the show, they guys update on their (suddenly fruitful) attempts to land some brokerage deals. As always, they (with producer Chelsea chiming in) end the show with their action items!

On this episode Reed sits down with Brianne Ippolito, co-owner and Operations Manager of Zoon Media in Calgary, Alberta Canada to talk about the realities of scaling your Real Estate Media business. After Reed's presentation at PMRE 2022 in Las Vegas, Brianne pulled Reed aside and took issue with a few of his assertions from the talk, so he invited her on the podcast to talk through some of her thoughts. Brianne chats about the hardest parts of managing her team of 15 and the high volume of shoots they do on a day-to-day basis. Mo' Shoots = Mo' Problems, basically. They also get into how Zoon has expanded into nearby markets and what it takes to manage that from afar. Reed and Brianne end the show with their Action Items!

All the new things are on Reed & Mark's minds as they embark with Producer Chelsea on this first Upmarket Podcast of 2023. The gang talk about all the new services, products and prices that Upmarket Media will be rolling out to their clients in the first part of 2023. They strategize about timing, the best ways to get the word out and try to finalize exactly what in the heck they'll actually be rolling out. In the second half of the show they respond to a listener who writes in with a contrarian Hot Take about where the Real Estate Media industry is headed if and when there is a large downturn in the broader real estate market. They end the show with the inaugural action items of 2023!

Reed and Mark return for another episode where they announce some BIG NEWS regarding a free Upmarket Media webinar and the pre-launch special for their online course on How to Grow and Scale Your Real Estate Media Business. After a few minutes of shameless self-promotion, the guys move into talking about what REP business owners should think about as they navigate the start of the slow season.

After a very fun and successful PMRE Conference in Las Vegas, the Upmarket Gang returns home to California to face the music regarding several recent (and not-so-recent) photoshoots with disgruntled clients. Reed, Mark and Chelsea go blow-by-blow to walk the audience through a few of those "disasterous" shoots and then come up with some theories on why suddenly they're seeing increased issues with clients (Hint: it has to do with changing real estate market conditions!) This leads to a broader conversation on how to deal with ornery clients and what changes companies might think about making to nip these complaints in the bud. Which, leads to even more soul-searching and a dialogue about possibly changing the whole shooting style and process for Upmarket Media.

Then the three of them end the show with their Actions Items... things that any listener can do right now help lay the foundation for scaling their Real Estate Media Business.

Dealmaking is on Reed and Mark's minds this week. First, the guys catch the audience up with info on a bid that Upmarket Media made for the chance to Matterport scan millions of square feet of retail space. The stakes are high, as this MegaDeal would supercharge the growth of the company and fortify finances heading into the slow season. In the second half of the show they talk about some other ways Real Estate Photographers can get higher value deals. First up is trying to secure brokerage-level contracts, where you can lock in whole offices who will always use your services. The guys also discuss plusses and minuses of subcontracting services for other real estate photographers or other types of companies. THEN, they talk about the ultimate BIG DEAL as they recount a recent experience of a larger real estate media company making an offer to BUY Upmarket Media. Did they accept the offer? They lay it all out for listeners before ending with their Action Items for this episode.

Everyone is back from vacations, and with summer all-but-over, Reed and Mark are joined by Producer Chelsea to sit down for a State of Upmarket Media episode! The three of them chat about the logistics of handling vacations while keeping operations running smoothly and in general how sales and new client acquisition have been going. They also start a discussion on the possibility of hiring a salesperson to go out and do the sales work that Reed and Mark have been slacking on doing. In the social media sidebar, Reed offers up an Instagram life-hack that quickly goes off the rails. In the second half of the show, the group debates buying an FPV drone and offering a new video product. Then the three talk about about where they are personally with the business and what they want in the future, before laying out their Action Items.
