Episode 320
Wednesday, 30 April, 2025
Brett Dickinson | How to Land, Market, and Sell a Masterpiece Property (Round 2)The #1 Real Estate Agent in La JollaBrett has broken multiple sales records, including the two largest residential deals ever recorded in La Jolla’s history — one in the Shores and the other in the Country Club — as well as the highest sales ever on the waterfronts of Bird Rock and Point Loma. In his first conversation — episode 210, How to Break Records in Your Business — Jere and Brett talked about how to break “formerly undefiable price records.” In this episode, he’s sharing not just how he wins a masterpiece listing, but how he lands the opportunity, markets the property, and closes the transaction. If you’ve ever wanted a raw look behind the curtain at how the biggest listings are won — against the fiercest competitors — this is the episode.🎧 Listen in for insights on:• How to compete and win luxury listings—against the fiercest competitors• The role of time and timing in high-stakes negotiations• Marketing is not just a checklist• Why pricing is a marketing tool, not just valuation• How Brett landed more articles for his listing than Marilyn Monroe's home• The gatekeeper• Identifying and qualifying buyers • The mindset shift from commission-driven to client-driven service🔑 Top Takeaways• “Play a winning game.” Don't just show up—study the competition, set the table, and deliver better.• Gatekeepers matter more than titles. They shape who gets in the room and what happens next.• Don’t chase comps—create context. Brett convinces buyers by shaping the story, not citing price per foot.• Defend your value. Discounting your commission tells the client you don’t believe in your worth.• Strategic timing wins deals. The right message delivered at the right moment can be the deciding factor.• Marketing isn’t optional—it’s the investment. Custom branding, PR strategy, and storytelling made Sandcastle iconic.• Integrity creates long-term wins. A lost deal due to honesty led to future loyalty and new clients.• You don’t have to be famous—just to the right people. Brett’s wife helped him understand the power of positioning.🎙️ Sound Bites“I got him a big bottle of ‘Shut the F*** Up’—because knowing when to stop talking is a power move.”“It's not about playing the commission game.
