AR has 5 blogs that mention Darryl Davis. One person referred to Darryl as her friend in one blog and in another she mentions his shiny penny analogy in regard to making your listing be the "prettiest, cleanest, and most attractive". Another person wondered whether he should take the followup program that Darryl offers and in another blog he quoted Davis by saying he was ready to take his business to the "next level". Another blog mentions Davis' 8 main points in his recent Broker Agent News article.
I was fortunate enough to attend one of his free seminars, as I'm sure many other AR members have done, and I took two crammed pages of notes. Other than the shiny penny analogy, everything else I learned was different from the AR blogs.
I had never heard of Davis before but feel that if anyone takes the time to go hear him, they would learn something since he seems to have something to offer to everyone. There is nothing really earth shattering but Darryl is high energy and helps motivate you to action and gives you several concrete ideas to put into practice in his free seminar. I would guess a lifetime worth of ideas would be gleaned from his complete seminar and follow up program. I hope to take it some time but I was unable to do it at the time offered.
"Okay", you're saying, "What did you learn?" Of the dozens of ideas, one thing that stuck in my mind that Davis shared was to not be more committed to selling a listing than the seller is.
This was confirmed by a listing of mine where I was doing everything possible to increase the traffic into the home but the seller seemed to be doing everything in their power to deter showings by not making the property available. Obviously that listing was not renewed.
I have put many other things Davis taught into practice and I'm sure you will too if you get a chance to hear him.

Rob,
Never heard of him. I guess I need to get out more!
I was unfortunate to once have a seller less committed than I was to sell their home. I won't go down that road again. I now pre-qualify my sellers. They must be motivated to sell, have a salable property, and must not want to list their home more than 10% above my CMA results. I usually list between the CMA results number and 5% above depending on the degree of the first two qualifiers. I have learned the hard way that its better to have no listing at all than to have ten overpriced ones!
See ya BB (Big Brother),

Sage advice from the younger brother.
You obviously have a great appreciation of all that Darryl Davis has to offer. I am one of the coaches for his program...in my first year of real estate, he took me from $8,500 to $149,000! He is amazing and I am proud to be one of his deciples.
Hello,
I went to hes free seminar and I walk out on fire with a lot of energy and a couple refresh ideas. To be honest I had fun watching him and I'm planning to go to his local seminar here on Newark , NJ. I had been on Mike Ferry "Super Star Retrive" on Palm Desert C.A., Rogert Butcher and pound by pound Darryl won.
good luck
Mike
