Was anyone here not scared out of their mind about what life would look like? I looked at the data and I replied back, yep, the last two years prices went from this to this in Metro New York, in Miami, in South Florida. It's not going to get better. Activity isn't going to pick up. You've got to create the business. You've got to pick your business up. That's two different strategies when it needs to be the same. What do you want to do? Why? What's going on? And what can I do to help? So the way that you bring them value, you know how clients spell value? It's T-I-M-E. When they see your name in that inbox every single week, they're like, there he is, he's an assistant, dependable, hardworking, honest, professional, knowledgeable, everything I want in an agent. It took us a year to get him here because of his schedule, but I guarantee you it's going to be worth it.  We worked out this morning, very humble. So I'm done talking. Let's get Mr. Ricky Karuth up here. Appreciate you, man. Little golf class. Yeah. How y'all doing? Thank you so much. Thank you guys for coming out. First time to Sacramento. Let's see, my wife and daughter, where they at? They went out to the car. So when they come back, we'll make a cool dude be like, ah, all right. But yeah, we traveled the world really and speak all over. We traveled a few times a month and speak and they come with me everywhere. So really, it's them because if they wouldn't come with me, I don't know that I would actually come to be honest with you, but we go and we take a little mini vacations everywhere we are, like take a couple of days and check it out and everything. So we're really having a lot of fun. How many of you guys, this is the first time you're seeing me, the first time you're seeing me. No, at all, ever in the world, never heard of me before. Okay, cool. Welcome. No, good to meet you. He's like, thanks for coming out. I'm going to go see this no-name guy from Alabama. Everybody else, you guys know that number one, I'm not here to sell you anything. I have nothing to sell you. You know, I'm a very direct person and if you need calling out, I'm going to call you out. So we can get into a little bit of that in the Q and A later. I love questions. Q and A, we get to call people out. But very direct, going to tell you like it is, my father says, give them meat and potatoes, son. Don't give them nothing else. And that's how it is, because I don't have anything to sell you. I can tell you exactly what I think without any ulterior motives. Right? How many guys are new agents? Okay.  I won't tell nobody. That's what you see. Now, I was a new agent in 2002. I was 20 years old. All right. How many people here were born in 2002 or after? Okay. I've been doing this longer than you've been alive. Now, I got into 2002 Gulf Shores, Alabama, of course. And it took me eight months to get to my first deal. I roofed houses with my father before that. Got in real estate. It's like, I'm not going to do roof houses forever. Failed a history class in college. I was like, I'm not going to do college either. Luckily, real estate, they're just like anybody can be an agent. You don't have to really have many qualifications to become an agent these days. So eight months to get to my first deal, then boom, the market blows up, just explodes. A lot like what we just saw in 2021. Right? Very similar. Multiple offers higher than asking price, no inventory. And then the market, of course, did what? Crashed. And I lost everything. Why? Because I'm 23. I had a million bucks. I was buying Hummers and Cadillacs. I didn't know what was going to happen. I thought I was a real estate mogul. This is it. I'm retired. I'm the king of the world. Lost everything. And guess what? Went back to roofing. All right. So here's the story. Grew up roofing houses, got into real estate, went to the office for 30 days, sold absolutely zero, went back to roofing. So now it's roofing, real estate roofing, doing roofing and selling real estate on the side to try to get going. Finally sold a property back in real estate full-time. Then the market crashes. And guess what? Back to roofing. And it's my dad's business. So the whole time I'm like, I'm out of here, dad. You know, I'm like, dad, hey. But when I got back, now I went back to roofing houses, but when I got back in the business, that was 2008. Let me just give you a just a just a just a basic screenshot of that moment. The easiest time in the world to sell real estate. Why? Prices were half off. You say, how hard do you think it is to find somebody who wants to buy a piece of property that's 50% off? Not hard. If prices went down 50% right now, what would happen? Would it be easy or would it be hard to sell? And honestly, when if prices dropped 50%, that means one thing, there's a lot of inventory. So people have options. How amazing of a market would that be for agents? Tons of inventory, half price, you know, who wants a house? It's easy. Right? So I'm just telling you that just to because that's not going to happen. Could it happen on a lifetime? Sure. Could it happen tomorrow? Maybe. Who knows? The chances are very slim, but if it did, we're good. And that's what I had to learn through losing everything because when I lost everything the first time, I thought that my business was correlated to the market. The market's doing great. My business is doing great. The market's doing bad or crashes. My business is doing bad. Not the case. But we think that in the beginning and when you believe that, that's what happens. Whatever you think, that's what happens. And you get called up in it and when the market slows down, you slow down with it. You don't see it for what the opportunity is, which is what I want to open your mind up to today. So was somebody clapping? Yeah. Thanks, mom. That's what I want to open up your mind up to today. So long story short from that point when I realized that it's like it's go time. I'm going to crush it now. But 2014, I was selling 100 properties a year, sold 100 properties every year sent, single agent, one assistant was a number one rematch agent for a while, number one agent in my entire county, even teams. I was beating entire teams for eight years in a row. And honestly, every single person in here can do the same thing. It really comes down to one thing for me. And that was I'm not the best, I'm not the greatest, I'm not the fastest, the smartest, the most efficient person obviously. But I wasn't going to quit until I was the best in the world. Not the area, not the country, the world. That's why I'm here right this second. 2017, I got bored, I'll admit, selling real estate. You know, once you get up there, it's like, what, what else is there? Let me go expand and become the best in the world of something else now. And that's when I started coaching, writing, speaking. I got into that arena where I had actually started doing social media, never did social media from a real estate business, still don't do social media from a real estate business. You should do real estate, you should do social media for your real estate business. I'm just telling you, you don't have to. Everybody wants to act like it's mandatory. And in my mind, you 100% should do it. It's not mandatory for you to succeed or fail. That's shocking, right? Mom? But never stopping until you're the best in the world. When I was in high school, I'm going to play football. Everybody laughed. I walked out of high school with a full paid scholarship, Missouri Valley College in Missouri. When I got into real estate, everybody laughed. You're too young. Number one agent in my entire county for eight years in a row, smoking the people that laughed. When I started making videos in 2017, you remember this, don't you? Mom, I always find somebody to pick on. Started making videos, what everybody do? Laugh. And two weeks ago, I'm in Vegas speaking after Bradley, after Andy Elliott, right? National news. There's 300 people here, would you say? And only three or four didn't know me. You guys are here because I said I was going to come. That's because I started making videos in 2017. Now, that seems like a long time ago compared to right now. You think back to 2002, that sounds like a long time ago. This stuff takes a long time. When I got back in 2008, it was 2014 when I sold 100 properties for the first year. That's six years after I made it, lost it, came back, figured out the secret to this whole thing. It still took me six years of grinding my ever-living face off to get to 100 deals. I haven't sold me anything in three months. Cry babies. It's kind of like buyers right now, right?  What I'm saying is, is the secret is not caring how long it takes, but realizing you're not going to quit until you're the best in the world. Why aren't we trying to be the best in the world? We can read everything about people that are best in the world. We can watch them on YouTube. We can read books that they wrote. We have access to everything that the best in the world have. Why aren't we trying to become best in the world at what we do? That's my ambition. That's why I'm here today. Hopefully, since you guys are in the room, see, it means something when you show up. It's way different than watching a YouTube video. If you're watching YouTube, then, sorry. Being in the same room with a certain type of energy is a whole different level than watching a video. It can literally change the entire trajectory of your career, your entire perspective. I mean, the way that you think, it's like if you think the market is correlated to your business, then that's what happens. It's all perception. Then you don't have anything to worry about except for the fact that are you going to continue until you're the best in the world? All right, let's make some noise. Who wants to make a million dollars? Oh, wait. Let me rephrase. Who's already making a million dollars? Nobody? Okay. We want to make a million dollars, though, right? Okay. Then write it down right now. One million dollars. You wrote it down? If you're not writing it down, then that tells me I don't want to make a million dollars. I don't want to make a million dollars. I'm not coachable. I'm part of the 99% of people who come to these things and leave and don't change anything in my business. That's who I am. Now, what's the first word? Just blurt it out. Don't think about it. What's the first word that comes to mind when you hear the word Alabama? What? Okay. I can't hear you guys. This is Bruja. Shramp force gum. All right. I was in New York and I asked that. You know what they said? Mud. I said, I don't know about anything about a mud. Is the clicker working? There we go. Oh, I hit the wrong. There we go. I don't know nothing about no mud. All I know about is sand, baby. This is where I grew up. This is where I live. Of course, those buildings weren't there when I was born, but I watched all this build. Like these little buildings you see, they were there back then. But this is the Alabama Gulf Coast, right on the Florida line. You take the Florida beaches and extend them about 40 miles into Alabama. And this is what it looks like. It's small town. There's 20,000 population, but we've got about 8 million visitors every year. So it's a huge tourist destination, if you will. Amazing restaurants. And we love it. We grew up there. All our families there. The cost of living is amazing. We've got the cheapest property taxes in the country, number one. But if you guys think, where are we going on vacation this year, right? Come to Gulf Shores. And let me know. We can go have a coffee. I'll show you around. Might even sell you a condo or two. But this is where I'm at, okay? So when people think Alabama, they think, foreskump, roll tide, mud. But I don't think anything about that, right? Because I'm living in a bubble down there. It's absolutely gorgeous. This, here we go. This is not to brag. This is just receipts. And this is to prove to you what is possible. This today is about you. It's not about me. It's about how you can go out and do whatever it is that you're trying to do. This is a screenshot of eight years of MLS, the eight years that I told you that I was number one in our county out of every agent, every single agent. There it is, black and white. This is just to show you what is possible. Now, how did I do this? This is the road I want to take you down. This is an illustration. Not exact, but this gives you a good visualization of my business when I got back on the business in 2008. And if you realize that the red is the market, the blue is my business. The red continue to go down. These are prices bottomed out in 2012 and started coming back up. My business, what I did on a day-to-day was no different from 2008 to 2009 to 2010, 2011. You only have so many hours of the day. Nothing I did was different. Why did my business explode in 2013 and 2014? That was the first year I did 100 deals because of all the work I did in eight, nine, 10, 11, building my base, building my foundation, expanding my footprint in my market. And I was really just treading water. My business was about flat through that whole thing. But all of a sudden, when you combine your efforts and the seeds that you planted for years with a market surge, your business just explodes. Like in 2021, a lot of you had an incredible year. Part of that was you and part of it was the market. And this year, some of you are doing not so good. The market can't take you out, but it will fluctuate your business. And you want to put yourself in the best position possible to stair step yourself every year and through the larger market cycles that happened once a decade. Every year, there's a cycle. How do we take advantage of those cycles to stair step our income every year? Then you have the huge cycles, which we're in the downside of one now. How do we take advantage of those cycles? They're all to be taken advantage of. They're needed. See, this market cycle and back in 2008 was needed for me to be able to get where I wanted to go. Without it, it would have taken longer because my business expanded with the market. So this is your 2008 right now. Right now, we're on track to do what? 4.2, 4.3 million transactions in the country? Actually, have this. We're on track to do 4.2, 4.3 million transactions. Last year, we did 5 million. The year before, we did 6 million. This year, we're doing 4.2-ish. If you see here, back in 2008, we did 4.1 million transactions. We're literally at 2008 levels right now in terms of the number of transactions. This is 2008, right this second. The only reason that we haven't seen prices crash like back then is because there's no mortgage meltdown happening. That's what this is for me. I can take the market and say, this is the most, maybe things go a different direction, but what's the chances?  And if the market doesn't do that, guess what? You still win. You can't lose. So that's how I actually, so right now, we need to think, okay, where's the market going? Well, over the next two to three years, mortgage rates are going to come down. We may or may not be peeked out. We're somewhere close to peeked out, but they're going to drift down slowly over the next two to three years. It's going to open up so much inventory and so many buyers. I'm going to get into demand and everything else, but right here, you see it took five years to get back to five million transactions from 2008 to 2013, five years. Not going to happen this time. It's going to be a violent resurgence back to five million transactions either next year or the year after, right? I think next year, my prediction is like 4.8 ish to five million and then well over five million the year after that. Now, here we go. Let's get into it. You guys know all the people that say it's going to crash, right? Price is going to drop 35% blah, blah, blah, right? And they're getting like 3,400,000 views per video saying this stuff with really nothing to back it up. Now, what's going to happen? This is median home prices. What do you see that happens every single year? It's the Alabama thing. Every fall it trickles down all the way to around January into January and it comes back up and it shoots up and then falls back down through the fall. Now, we're starting to see prices soften right now, right? Are you guys seeing that here? Markets kind of slowing down a tick happens every year at the same time. Nothing new, but what we're going to start to see in the data and in the headlines and on YouTube is here's the crash I was talking about. I'm already seeing it. Here's the crash I was talking about. No, this is what happens every single year. You're dipshit. So it happens every single year. This isn't the crash, right? And the same guys were saying prices would be down like 30, 40% right now. While I've been saying for the past three or four months, we're going to hit all time highs. We're going to go positive year over year. So I want you to realize this right here is that we're going to see prices soften for the rest of the year. Don't worry about it. That's fine. But get the media out of your head about this. Stay on track. Build your database. Do the things you need to do. This is mind blowing. This is home sold, the number of transactions, 2021, 22, and so far through 2023. What do you see there? Look at the correlation. Wow. It blows my mind. Look at how every year it starts out down, starts to pick up the same time a year.  That's insane. And then look through the rest of the year.  That's absolutely insane how seasonal this business really is. Now you see that 2021 and 22 peaked out about this time of year and then started to come down. We're going to see it this year. Okay? We're going to see it this year just like we see every year. And what's even more interesting, 2021, the year of the boom, right? 100,000 over asking price, 30 offers per listing, right? Sales went down in the second half of the year during the boom year. Is that eye opening to you? What were we all doing April 28th, 2020? You guys are in California. So this was even probably worse. Alabama, I was still like having parties and showing condos and like we're like super spread or what is that? We were all locked in our houses, right? Couldn't leave. Were we scared to death of the unknown? Did we think our family was going to die of a virus? We knew nothing about were we going to die? Or do we even have jobs anymore? Is the whole financial system going to crash and burn? We didn't know anything, right? Was anyone here not scared out of their mind about what life would look like? No, everybody was scared out of their mind, right? You weren't.  You're like, is that a beer? Okay, we're still locked in our homes. Still locked in our homes. Economy's not open back up yet.  How did I see that? Why did I think that? Because of two things. One, when I see a retraction of transactions, I only know that's building up demand. And when that rubber band gets let go, it's like a rocket ship, number one. So when I saw all that business leave so fast, 20% down, transactions and pending deals during that 45-day shutdown. When I saw that and then I saw stimulus starting to happen, it was a no-brainer for me that the market was going to explode. I didn't know it was going to go on for a year and a half, right? But I knew that we were fixing to see something monumental. December. This December on six, a video, I said, this is the bottom for home prices. I was about a month early, but I'll take it. Right, Mom? January 12th in Vegas, I said, we're about to see this massive surge. This is in January. We're about to see this massive surge as buyers as interest rates start to soften, interest rates soften. We saw a massive surge of buyers and this is when we started seeing multiple offers on everything. Remember that in the spring? And then here more recently, I said, not only are we about to go positive year-over-year prices, but we're about to see all-time new highs. This is long before any of this was even coming close to being a reality, right? So again, educated, like I'm a professional educated guesser. I can look at the data and I could say, this is the most probable chance of happening. How can I take advantage of this? So we saw prices. They hit all-time new highs. This is from Redfin. It shows prices. When that blue line was about halfway, about halfway, that's when I realized that we're going to go, I know for, I knew for a fact, we're going to go positive year-over-year because the 2022 wall from June to say August, see how that went straight down? It created a wall that I felt there was no problem where we're going to bust right through that. At the time, it didn't realize that we were more than likely going to go to all-time new highs. But look at what's happening. Do you see the very top of the blue line? How it's starting to level off just to tad? That's the beginnings. And in 2021, the orange, the year of the boom, look what happened. Prices went down during that time. Is that amazing? Am I clicking on anything? Real estate is local, Ricky. It's so hyper-local. You're talking national numbers. It means nothing. Here's some of the hardest hit markets. Sacramento, Phoenix, Austin, San Francisco, prices bottomed out in January. Boom, boom, boom. People try to call me out all the time. I said, things are going to slow down in the fall. Well, that doesn't apply to New York or South Florida. I looked at the data and I replied back, yep, the last two years, prices went from this to this in Metro New York, in Miami, in South Florida. People don't even look at data. They just, I think I'm going to send this guy a message. What goes up must come down, right? Prices are so high. Got to come down. Going to come down. No doubt about it. They can't stay like this. This is appreciation of homes in the U.S. going back to 42. The green is positive appreciation years. You can look at that without even looking at the numbers and just do the colors and see where I'm about to go with this. Back in the 40s, there were five years of double-digit appreciation, double-digit for five years. And they said, what goes up must come down. No. It did<PHONE_NUMBER>3. It continued. It never had a negative year. That doesn't mean that it might not have dipped negative and ended up the year positive. This is 12-month calendar year appreciation. That doesn't mean there weren't some micro ebbs and flows of prices, but we didn't end the year negative. If you go to the 70s, remember that? No, you were born in 2000. Interest rates went to 18, 19 percent. Everybody's like, oh, remember them days? It's just about to get bad. Well, when you look at those days and you see six years of great growth, four of which were double-digit appreciation years, what goes up must come down. Well, right after all that, we had a 7 percent, a 5, a 1, a 5, a 5, a 7, a 10, a 8, a 7, a 4. It was a good deal to buy real estate even in 79 when it was at the peak of the six-year run and went up 17 percent that year. You still would have won even just the next year. You were up. And then we get into the 2000s. We had the run-up with the mortgage subprime lending meltdown. And this was the first real moment. Of course, we had that cumulative two-year drop of 1 percent in the early 90s. And some places had it worse than others. I believe here may have seen a little bit of a lot of a downturn during that time. So it is local. But generally speaking here, and we saw that 50 percent drop in the late 2000s. Here more recently, we had two years of double-digit appreciation years. And we're going nuts about it. And what goes up must come down. Well, maybe, but what are the chances? Right? And how can I put myself in a position to win either way? That's what I like. Win-win. Recessions coming. Yeah, right. It might. But to us, if prices come down, again, I'll start with how I start, say this from what I started with, if prices go down, think of how easy it is to sell real estate. If you see transactions slow and inventory go up and prices start to go down, don't think, oh, my God, let's start backtracking. And maybe I need to get out of the business. Maybe I need to find another job. You need to say, oh, here we go. Let me lean into this. Let me find people that want to buy, need to buy at lower prices. You got to lean in. You can't back off of this business. There's too many agents that want your position in the market. But the point of this one was, prices don't go down during recessions. It did in 2008. We might have seen a little bit of a blip there in the early 90s, but they hold solid, which they've been holding solid. Look, if prices were going to go down, don't you think they would go down if mortgage rates more than doubled, the quickest that we've ever seen it? Don't you think that they wouldn't be hitting all-time new highs? A year later, it takes time for the system to work itself out? Great. Well, in the meantime, I'm just going to sit here and crush it until this happens. Unaffordability. Wah, wah, wah. Monthly mortgage payments. This is going back to 89. Looks horrifying, right? Right? A lot of buyers having a hard time. And they are having a hard time. And I'll tell you why. Not they, everyone, all of us, me, you, everybody was spoiled of our situation over the last decade and a half of how cheap money was, and how cheap prices were, and how low mortgage payments were. I mean, look at that. During the 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, we were even lower, like not even inflation adjusted numbers. We were lower mortgage payments than in the 90s. That's insane. I mean, inflation did grow between the 90s and after 2010. That's insanity. And they're upset that that world doesn't exist anymore. Now, if we adjust this to inflation, what do we see? Oh, now it's starting to become a much clearer picture when you adjust mortgage payments to inflation. Now we're seeing that, yeah, we're a little high, but all we're doing is getting back to normal of the 90s and the early 2000s. We're just getting back to normal. We've been spoiled. We, all of us, not the ones that can't afford houses, all of us were spoiled. I should have bought more. You should have bought more. We all should have bought more during that time. Does that make sense? Make some noise then. Okay, what's going to happen short and long term? And this is just my theory. Short term, I've already went over. We're going to see prices soften. We're going to see transactions soften in the fall. What does that mean for you? You should have already been, and if not right now, today, going all in to talk to as many people as you can to build momentum, going into the fall so that your business doesn't suffer as much. If you're getting used to the market now and, you know, you're kind of just sliding by your treading water, you're really going to be sucking wind when the market dips a little bit in this season. If you're struggling right now, you're really going to be struggling in a couple of months. It's not going to get better. Activity isn't going to pick up. You've got to create the business. You've got to pick your business up. Long term, we're going to see mortgage rates continue to dwindle over the next couple of years. It's going to open up so much inventory and demand. It's going to be amazing. It's going to be euphoric for us. We know the wave is coming. The only answer is to build your database to the moon so that you have so many people that love you that want to do business with you. The people right now, the sellers who don't want to sell because mortgage rates are high, they don't want to sell, they're sitting on 3% interest. There's nothing to buy. They don't want to pay 7% interest anyway. Those are the ones you want. You want to stack thousands of those in your database and stay in touch with them.  They got handcuffs. Somebody said they're golden handcuffs. They're locked into their home and send them emails. Every week. Every week on the same time. Got one from there. Got you. You've been waiting your whole life to do that, haven't you? Opportunity! Anybody over here? I'll tell you what it has to do with your business. Mom, we've been through this. It don't mean anything. Who cares? Go out there and help people do what they want to do. It's unlimited. You can't do it all. That's why there's so many agents. How many agents are in Sacramento? 14,000. 14,000. How many of them sell properties every year? A thousand. There you go. You got a thousand people. The market surges back 110% of the time. 110. Not 100. Not 90. Not 98. 110. It always surges back. You have to put yourself in a position where your business is positioned to take advantage of the resurgence. And of course, closings happen every day by the truck loads for the rest of your life, regardless of market conditions. If you go back to .com crash 2008, 9-11, pandemic, whatever you want to go back to, go back and look at the county records and look at the MLS and see how many closings were happening every single day during the scariest economic times in our history. They were happening every day. Now, if you go back right now and you look at 2008 numbers, that whole five, six-year span of the market, and you look at those numbers and you see number of transactions, just go local. Number of transactions, prices, you know, inventory.  You say, hmm, that wasn't so bad. That was actually a pretty good market, right? But at the time, people thought we were dying.  When you look at all these economic downturn moments and you realize that real estate just kept on trucking, then you start, things start clicking a little bit.  The market can't take me down. Other agents can't take me down. The only person to take me down is me if I don't have the right perception about how this business and this industry actually operates. Keep it simple. I'm not going to tell you how to go talk to property owners, because everybody has a different opinion. I don't care how you talk to property owners, but you need to be talking to them. If you're not talking to them, you're going to be talking to somebody, bill collectors, lawyers, bankruptcy people, talk to property owners, make a great first impression, do a weekly email, boom, you're done. You can snowball that into a million-dollar-year business over time. It's not hard. You just have to think one thing. I'm not going to stop until I'm the very best in the world. Again, got back in in 2008 after losing everything, sleeping in my car, sleeping on friends' couches, eating out of people's refrigerators, working on an oil rig for a year, roofing houses, serving tables, no bills. Why do I do all that? I love to work. But when I got back in, it took me six years before I hit 100 deals. You just don't stop until it happens. I don't know how long it's going to take you, but I know that you can get there if you don't stop until it happens. Follow this simple formula. Can't be that simple. Yes, it is. People want to create, they want to make jobs for themselves. I'm going to call my database every year. Why? That's creating a new job for yourself.  Right. So don't create all these extra jobs for yourself. Have simple processes that snowball into the exact business that you want. Residual business that deals fall in your lap every day. Now we know that's the goal, right? Now we have to visualize how to do it. It's real simple. Daily goal. Make five new friends or property owners contact. A four-week template. Week one, two, three, four, and then you can rotate those through the month every month, right? Week one, stats of the month. And we've got it laid out. It's like the template is almost a training session. It tells you exactly how to lay it out. Very simply. Stats of the month. Restaurant of the month. Reply back. Here's my experience of this restaurant. Here's a great picture of it. Reply back for a chance to win a gift card. Week three is deal of the month. Listing of the month. Your favorite deal. The best deal you can find. Week four is breaking news of the month. You just rotate these every month. People are over complicated. That's why I just went ahead and just let me just create a four-week template, right? You already knew about that. This is a screenshot of, let's see, this is back in May-ish, but you can see mine goes out to 19,000 people and I've got 7,500 that open it every week. It's a 40% open rate. 30, 40% is where you want to be. Where do you get property owners? redxdiscount.com. Geo Leeds Plus, Expires Plus, Multi-Line Dialer. Let's say, expireds?  Come on. Up high. I want to see you. Yeah. Okay. Why? Okay. What do you tell them when you call them? Click.  Now, what kind of leads do you get? Sillow or what's your thing? Your lead gen? How do you get leads? So you don't really get leads. You just kind of have your database and you kind of worked out. Okay. Now, when you call those leads, what do you say on those conversations? See, if you would talk to the expireds, like you talked to the Redfin buyers, your business would explode. You're classifying these as two different type of leads when they're the exact same person. You should say, hey, I saw your house was on the market. Whatever happened with that, what can I do to help? So you just told the Redfin person, what can I do to help? But you told the expired person, would you like to set an appointment up with me? That's two different strategies when it needs to be the same. What do you want to do? Why? What's going on? And what can I do to help? The Redfin strategy is great. That's perfect.  We don't have a lot of expireds. We live in a small town. See, I got like two expireds a day in my market. But with this, I can go back 10 years worth of expireds, withdrawals and cancels. Now I got leads for the rest of my career. Now, these are the very best conversations. Why? You call a one-year-old, a two-year-old, a three-year-old expired and you say, hey, I saw you were trying to sell this house at one point. Whatever happened with that? And you just listen. It's amazing what happens. They just start telling you a story. Because what happens is, you sound like a detective trying to get to the bottom of a case and now they become your helper. Let me help you get to the bottom of this. Oh, we sold that back then. Okay, cool. Where'd you guys move to? Do you like it? Do you buy rental properties? Are you going to move again soon? What can I do to help you? Do you have an agent you normally work with?  Is it okay if I stay in touch? Great. What's a good email? Bam, weekly email. Now they never forget who I am. And I'm just stacking, stacking. What's this slide going to be? It's almost a mystery for me too. If you want to do one deal a week, let me go back. Let's see. Volunteer. How many active buyers and sellers?  Agent. Let's see. Everybody's looking down at their phone like, please don't pick me. Please don't pick me. Please don't pick me. I've never seen somebody. How many active buyers and sellers? Like people that might buy or sell something in the next six months with you. How many of those are you working with right now? Four is the most common answer, right? That's why I said that. You're pretty close to it, which is where just about everyone is. Now the problem is statistically, four statistically is .8 deals, which is nothing. So you're barely working on one deal. Statistically, maybe two or three buy or whatever, but statistically, you're working on like one deal right now. Okay? Just statistically speaking. If you want to close one deal a week, every week, then this is not a theory. This has been tried and true for years and years and years of my coaching students and my own business. If you want to close one deal a week, 15 to 20 active buyers and sellers at all times. Now when somebody, you got to maintain that list and take people off that list that ghost you, move forward with you or another agent, decide they don't want to do a deal, you got to take them off. That's not a true number now. You have to maintain and know exactly what that list is and you got to add people to the list as people drop off. If you maintain, I'm talking active, not when they become inactive and you're still counting that as a number, active, you will close one deal a week. Guaranteed. You're going to close two deals a week? 25 plus. This is what I did for eight years in a row and I closed two deals a week, two, two, two, two for eight years. What's 52 times eight? Like 400 and something. That's what I did. 25 plus active buyers and sellers.  If you want to close 50 deals a year, build it up to 5,000. You want to close 100 deals a year? Build it up to 10,000. In 2017, my database was at 10,000. I made a million bucks the first, that was the first. March 1st. I got my first deal six weeks after and the power of social media. Yeah. So my question is to make my one-million dollars a year. Do you work with a team? Do you have a team? No, absolutely not. And no disrespect to any teams at all, right?  Humans are everywhere. Lead, humans, aka leads, they're everywhere. You found one on Facebook. You can call them all day long. Yeah. Nice. Congrats. The thing that stands out is your opinions on things, right? So when you send a house, also say why you're sending the house, why you think it's a good deal, right? I went by the house and looked at it. It looks great. It had a great feel, whatever. If you've got generic, a lot of people have their brokerage or some company sending out these generic emails. And it's so funny because I get like five of them at the same time from different agents, same subject. You open it up and it's like, here's how to cook shrimp at Too Fae.  I can Google something if I want to eat. You know what I mean? I don't need my, I don't need my agent to send me recipes or how to cook, how to, what color to paint my falls in the way and my walls in the fall. Right? I don't need that generic information. And that's why, you know, you know, they may have a great relationship with the client. The client sees that and they see their name that stays in front of them, but it's not really bringing them any value. Right? So the way that you bring them value, you know how clients spell value. It's T-I-M-E. When they look at the email, they know it went out to everybody, but when they realize, wait a minute, he spent some time here to tell his audience about his experience at this restaurant and how he liked it and how I should go there too. And he's also going to give me an opportunity to win a gift card. That's value. When you say prices are, you know, inventory in Sacramento is down 40% and you know, here's the chart, inventory is down 40% and underneath it's like inventory is down a whole lot from last year, but guess what? 63% of people are still listing their properties and I'm out here grinding. Whatever your little thing is, when you add your two cents into social media is a good place to talk about this, to have this conversation because a lot of people do generic content, right? And they lose. It doesn't win until you spend time creating the content, right? How many times a day do you think people check their email all day long, right? How many times do you think they check social media all day long, right? You know, what's the physical motion that they do when they check their email? What's the physical motion when they check their social media? Same thing, right? Email is a social media platform. It is social media. It's a place that you post original, consistent content to your audience. Same thing. It's just a different format. It's a different platform. All the platforms are different. You need to think of email as another social media platform that's a must. Now, all the other social media platforms have a what? 5% Organic Reach, 10% at the most, where 5% or 10% of your followers actually see the content that you post. Is that true? How many people in your database of an email do you think see the email in their inbox? The man might not open it, but how many do you think see it? Well, I showed you 40% actually opened it, right? That's a lot more than the 10% that see a social media post right there, not to mention the people that aren't opening it, who appreciate seeing it, who open it three weeks in a row in four years because now they're interested and call me on the fifth week and say I want to buy and sell this. That's where the magic is. Just the fact that they see it. That's what's so crazy. A lot of people are like, what do I put in my email? Most of the people that are going to do business with you aren't even opening your emails because they're just not interested in buying and selling anything right now, but when they do become more and more interested, they will begin to open them and then they will call you. Did you see the thing start my weekly email dot com? Just go there and get a template. I'm about to have the four week, one, two, three, four in the next couple of weeks. It'll be a Ricky Crew tab and constant contacts for those four templates. They already create a custom template for you. Just like mine, with your information, your website, your head shot, everything. They already do that. Just do that and just bring value about the local market, not national stats, not generic information, real local stuff that people are interested in and then give your two cents on it. Hey Ricky, what are these constant two and a pack of two guys? Sorry, my name is Constantine with Caller Maker. Actually, one of my friends appeared on your phone following videos. It was a download. Do you remember? My question is, you're talking about becoming friends with the home owners. When you do that, how often do you call them? Do you rely more on the weekly email to fill that relationship with or do you how often do you call them? And what do you talk about? Do you provide a little bit of value each time and try to get to know them because a lot of times they're rushing on the phone, they think they know what they're calling it out and they just want to get it done on the phone. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I never called them. Why would I? See, the problem is that I'm trying to create a business that sends me residual business every day with very little effort. If I just imagine a world where I just send an email out every week and two deals fall in my lap, right? Isn't that what we want? I don't want to build a business around, oh, I have to call these people every year. That's great and everything, but part of the magic that makes what I'm saying work is volume because this isn't going to work for everyone. There's some people that want the calls every year and they're going to do business with another agent. That's okay. All I want are the people that appreciate that. See, the way that I retain clients is not calling them once a year. It's when they need something, they know how I'm going to handle it. I'm jumping right on it. I'm calling them right back. I'm going to work for them, going to war for them. And when they do a deal, it goes so smooth and they're like, I don't care what happens. I'm never going to use anybody else but Ricky because this is how real estate is supposed to be done. When you give them that great experience, you don't have to call them every year. When they see your name in that inbox every single week, they're like, there he is, consistent, dependable, hardworking, honest, professional, knowledgeable, everything I want in an agent, right there. That's who I want. He took care of me. He took care of my sister. He sends me an email every week loaded with value. That's my guy.  Now, you're going to have different sectors in your database.  Then you're going to have another sector of your database of people that might use you this time. They might use another agent the next time. That's okay. And then you've got this outer edge, which is the largest edge of people that will never use you. They have another agent. Right? Just realize, not everybody's going to be a loyal client. The name of the game here, guys, is volume. You need, you heard what I said. You want 5,000, 10,000, 20,000 people in this database. And I'm not trying to create new jobs for myself where I have to do things every year. That's stressful. I want to create an easy, simple, scalable business. Back to it. That's all we've talked about. I never did it. Bomb Bomb wasn't around when I got started with all this. Putting a YouTube link in my email sends them off out of my ecosystem into YouTube's ecosystem. If I put a YouTube link in my email, they watch it. Now, YouTube says, oh, they're interested in real estate in Sacramento. Let's send them all these videos about real estate in Sacramento with all these other real estate agents. I literally just handed my client over to the pack of wolves on YouTube. I know Bomb Bomb is embedded into the thing and it doesn't do that or whatever. When I used Bomb Bomb, I remember I had to click and it went to a web page to see the video. Does it still do that? No, it's actually in the email. I think it's okay if it's like that. Another way you can do YouTube videos in the email is embed that video on a web page on your website and send them the link of the website of that URL added through YouTube or whatever and then have a link where they can click to set an appointment or whatever. Say whatever you wanted to say. But be careful sending people to other platforms is all I would say about that. If you want to do videos in your email and you're not sending them to other platforms, knock yourself out. That's fine. I'm not going to do it because I don't even feel like email is even a video platform. Remember I said it was like a social media platform? I look at it more like a blog style platform where people just, here's the difference and this is why I don't like it. The reason why Uber, Amazon, even Facebook and Apple and all these companies have become so big is because they save people time, right? And so when people literally click on a sales email and look at it literally for one second. Now if they got to sit through a two minute, a 30 second, a three minute video, chances are most people are not going to open up the rest of my emails. If they can't click on it and literally get everything in a matter of seconds, get in and out, get that value and leave. If they want to see new listings, boom, they click on it, they look at it, boom, they're out. If they wanted to see what that stat was, boom, okay, prices are up, I'm out. Whatever that little thing was they wanted to see. If they can't get in and out, then they're going to be out. They're going to unsubscribe. That's my thoughts on it is video is for the video platforms and I don't think email is a video platform. I think it's a platform people want to be in and out. Making cold calls and social media for your day, your daily massive action plan. A couple of questions. One, do you go for listing appointments yourself? And two, would you dump your cold call or social media during that time frame to get the appointment to physically go and do all the paperwork? Mm-hmm. Yeah, I'm going to make it myself and it depends on what it is. There's four, the highest, the four highest priorities for an agent, okay? Showing property, listing appointments, writing offers and negotiating offers. So if it's one of those four things, one of those four things trump everything else, including calls. If somebody wants to write an offer, if they want me to look at a house to see what it's worth, if they want to, if I get a counter offer back on something, not repair a dindum, okay? I can wait, I can ignore that for several hours. I'm talking about getting a deal done, negotiating. Time is of the essence. If it's negotiating, somebody says, hey, remember the house we saw yesterday? Yeah, me and my wife, we want to write an offer right now. I'm done. What do you want to write? How do you want to write it? I'm writing it right now. I don't care what's going on. So yeah, if it's one of those four things, of course, I'll dump making calls. If it's not one of those four things, and this is the problem that you're making, that everyone's making, they're taking something that's not one of these four things, and they're thinking that that trumps calls and it doesn't. There's exceptions to the rule here and there, but 99.9% of the time anything else does not trump the call session. And the call session is actually what sets you up for the residual business, where you just do an email or post something and you do deals. Deals fall in your lap. That's what the calls are building up. It's building up your short and long-term business, and you're not doing it because you want to look up properties for a buyer or repair a dindum request. You can do that afterwards. Think about it like this. If you're showing property, you're walking through houses and you're right there face-to-face with your buyer, you're walking through, you're looking at all this stuff, and your phone starts to ring in your pocket. Are you going to answer it? Nope. You're not even going to look at it. You don't even know what it is, right? But if you're making calls and your phone rings, what are you going to do? Look at it. Oh no, it's Johnny. He has a repair dindum request I have to handle. Right now, I have to skip these calls. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, future self, because every call session you skip, it pushes your dream out another three months. I'm sorry, future self. We'll have to delay that awesome life another three months. Mom, if you can ignore the call for the buyer, walking through the house, then what's the difference? Why can't we ignore these situations when we're doing it? Even I just said it's a higher priority to show houses, but when that opportunity is not around, the calls are the highest priority. And when you're dumping the highest priority for whatever that call was, that's a problem. And you're not working on, and this is something we all have, I had a lot of trouble with this too. Don't get me wrong. But it's something I want to try to help you understand today. The four things are negotiating deals, writing offers, showing property, and listing appointments. I'll stop anything to go do one of those four activities. That's why I make calls. I've got a girl in Panama City. She's crushing it. She went from 75,000 to 500,000 last year. Like she did 75, like two, three years ago. She did 500. She's like, I don't have time to make calls. I'm like, what are you doing? Well, I'm showing property. I'm writing offers. I'm negotiating. I'm going to listing appointments. I'm like, well, that's why you made all the calls for so long is to get to this place where you're just deal after deal after deal. But she's scared her business is going to suffer because she's letting the foot off the gas of what got her there, right? And this is a big struggle. And she doesn't have a great admin. That's kind of the next step. You got to have a great admin when you get to that level. A great admin will double your business overnight. A bad admin will drive your business straight into the ground. No, I didn't have to. I would have if phone calls didn't work. I mean, once I hit that, I'm like, I can sit in the AC. Dude, I've roofed houses for like 10 years. All right. You think I'm going to go out and walk around in the sun looking at the roofs, like having flashbacks and stuff? Like, no. No. If I can sit in the AC, that's another thing. We're spoiled to death. I mean, think about it.  This is as much physical activity as you guys do all day. That's all you do. And then you do a few curls. We're spoiled in here complaining. I'm scared to make calls.  Go, go, go serve tables. Go, go do something else then. This whole business is predicated on you talking to people you don't know to help them buy and sell real estate. And you don't want to do the exact thing that this business is predicated on. Why'd you get your license? I don't know. Why are you scared to make calls? I don't know. Rejection. Okay. When you call a Zillow lead and they say, why are you calling? That's, that's your answer. Oh, I'm going to rant. I might rant something in next year. That's a Zillow lead. People crush it with Zillow and that's great. I'm not, I'm not, listen, every single thing works. Again, you can take Zillow and you can build this huge buyer business where all these buyers buy over the next five years and you sell hundreds of properties who now are what? Property owners. It works. Do I want to spend a million dollars to get there? No. I can get 10 years worth of data of expired data and 7,500 property owners of my choice in my market with cell phones and emails for a couple of hundred dollars a month. No, it's over there for 10 years. I mean, I don't know what that, what that means. Not at all. Not at all. No. Long as you're somewhere where somebody is going to show you the way, right? If you've got support, right, especially as a new agent, if you're, if you've got someone that will help you through those beginning stages of learning how to write a contract and how to talk to people and where to find property owners and what to say and how to show property and how to look stuff up on MLS, all that one-on-one real estate stuff, as long as somebody's there to help you learn that stuff. But I'll tell you this, there's not a single brokerage out there that's going to make you a top producer. None of them, right? They don't do nothing, right? Brokerages do nothing, right? What they do is their name is at the top of the contract, right? Do y'all put the name of the brokerage at the top of the contract like we do, right? And guess what? They don't even put it up there. We do. We write it. They didn't get you that deal. They didn't negotiate that deal. They didn't go through all the hell you had to go through to find that deal and service that deal. They didn't do any of that stuff. They didn't put it on MLS. They didn't upload documents to the cloud. They didn't do nothing.  I'm thinking of that. The top producers, they just go be top producers. It's like this. I had a coach for like four months one time because I made 600k one year and I thought I'm going to make a meal the next year and I didn't make it. I was on my way to make 600k again. I became really down on myself. What's wrong with me? So I hired a coach thinking this was going to help me figure out the secret sauce. And that was back in 2015. And basically what I learned that year was patience, that I was doing all the right things. I just had to be patient. And the two more years, I hit the million bucks. Well, fast forward, like I don't know what was it, six or seven years later, that same guy, the coach, big guy, big name in the industry, he said, because we still talk and he said, because I was talking to him about new agents and top producers and blah, blah, blah, blah. And he said, man, listen, if you wouldn't have hired me as your coach, would you still have crushed it? I was like, yeah, right. And he said, he said, there you go. Right. I can spend every single waking minute with somebody who's not going to make it and they still ain't going to make it. And I can spend every waking hour with a top producer and they're still going to leave the team or do something, whatever. Right. And that really puts things into perspective. The losers are going to go lose no matter what you do. And the winners are going to go win no matter where they are or what you do. Right. So be a winner. Realize that winners win, losers lose.  Thank you guys.


Let's take a deeper look at the Chinese remainder problem algorithm. And here I'll introduce an important warning. The danger of using an algorithm that you didn't create is a lot like using a power tool. Power tools are great ways of getting things done, but if you're not careful, you can do some real damage or cause some serious injuries to yourself. And with power tools, you should always read the owner's manual. And in the case of mathematical algorithms, this means that you need to understand why the algorithm works and why it won't work. So let's take a look at a problem. We want to find a number that leaves remainder 1 when divided by 3, remainder 4 when divided by 5, and remainder 5 when divided by 6. Well, again, the Chinese remainder problem is equivalent to solving a system of simultaneous congruences, remainder 1 when divided by 3. So I'm looking for a number that's congruent to 1 mod 3, remainder 4 when divided by 5. I'm looking for a number that's congruent to 4 mod 5, and remainder 5 when divided by 6. I'm looking for a number that's congruent to 5 mod 6. So our first step in applying the algorithm is to find a multiple of mod 5 mod 6 5 times 6, a multiple of 30, that leaves remainder 1 when divided by 3. So I'll check it out, 30, congruent to 0 mod 3, nope, 60, congruent to 0 mod 3, nope, 90, congruent to 0 mod 3, nope. And I could continue, but it's worth keeping in mind a very useful rule of life, once is an accident, twice is coincidence, but 3 times suggests that there's actually something going on here. And so let's analyze our failure. So the problem is that when we found these multiples of 5 times 6, this number was always divisible by 3, so we could never get a remainder of 1 when divided by 3. And well, why did this happen? Well, we might note that a multiple of 5 times 6, since 6 is 2 times 3, this is also a multiple of 3, and so this will always leave a remainder of 0 when divided by 3. And what this suggests is that if two divisors are not relatively prime, we might not actually be able to solve the Chinese remainder problem because those divisors will get, in some sense, tangled up. And well, if the divisors aren't relatively prime, we should see if we can solve the problem by modifying our approach in some fashion. So here the apparent problem is the divisor is 6, and we need a number that has a remainder of 5 when divided by 6. Well, let's see what we can do about that. Suppose I have a number n that has a remainder of 5 when divided by 6. Well, I know that n is 6k plus 5, it's 5 more than a multiple of 6. But what I might ask is, what's the remainder when the number is divided by 3? Well, we'll apply a standard strategy in mathematical research, we'll write down where we want to end up, n divided by 3 is something with some remainder, and I'll work a couple steps back. This says that n is 3 times something plus something. Next, we'll include what we actually know at the start. We know that n is a 6k plus 5 number, and we'll use a little bit of algebra to see if we can connect, start, to finish. So let's see, I want n to be 3 times something plus something. So let's split off our 6k plus 5 into a portion that I can write as 3 times something. I'll do a little bit of algebra, and I have n is 3 times quantity 2k plus 1 plus 2, and that says n divided by 3 is 2k plus 1, and we'll be guaranteed to have remainder 2. And what this means is that if I have a number that has remainder 5 when divided by 6, that number must have remainder 2 when divided by 3. And this tells us two things. One is that our original problem is unsolvable. We cannot have a number with remainder 1 when divided by 3, as well as having remainder 5 when divided by 6. At the same time, this also says that if I had remainder 2 when divided by 3, then that problem would be solvable. So we'll change our problem so we have remainder 2 when divided by 3. And again, we determine that if we meet this third requirement, remainder 5 when divided by 6, we automatically satisfy the first requirement. We automatically have remainder 2 when divided by 3. And what this really means is we don't actually need that first requirement. We'll ignore it because it doesn't make a difference. And so now I have a Chinese remainder problem, and this time I only have two divisors, 5 and 6. So I want to find a multiple of the product of the other divisors. Well, there's only one 6. I want to find a multiple of 6 that leaves remainder 4 when divided by 5, and 24 works. And I want to find a multiple of 5 that leaves remainder 5 when divided by 6. And, well, 5 works. 5 is a multiple of 5, and it does leave remainder 5 when divided by 6. And again, importantly, this satisfies that first requirement that we ignored. So we have something that actually satisfies all three requirements. And now I have my solutions, 24 and 5. I'll add them together to get one solution, 29. And the product of the two divisors, 5 and 6, 30. Well, I can't subtract 30 from 29, so this is actually the smallest solution. Now, the proceedings suggest the following way of extending the Chinese remainder problem algorithm. So if I have a number with some remainder when divided by p times q, where p and q are relatively prime, then I have a number that has the remainder r1 when divided by p, and remainder same r1 when divided by q. Now, remainder here should be taken with a little bit of a grain of salt because we may have to do something to modify those remainders. We'll see how that works. But that does suggest a way of extending our Chinese remainder problem algorithm. So what we'll do is we'll rewrite all of the remainder statements by factoring the divisors into relatively prime factors. We may be able to reduce some of these, and importantly, we'll be able to eliminate any sort of requirements that are repeated. At the same time, if any of our requirements are contradictory, a number having different remainders when divided by the same thing, then we're going to be able to identify the problem as unsolvable. If not, well, then we'll have a system of linear congruences that we'll be able to solve in the same way that we did before. And let's take a different problem. I want to find a number that leaves remainder, or how about 3 when divided by 15, and remainder 8 when divided by 20. And so again, I'll rewrite those congruences as the moduli are relatively prime. x is congruent to 3 mod, well, 15 is 3 times 5. So x congruent to 3 mod 3 is the same as x congruent to 0 mod 3. x congruent to 3 mod 5 is, I can't reduce this, x congruent to 8, well, I'm going to split 20 as 4 times 5. So x congruent to 8 mod 4, that's the same as 0 mod 4, and x congruent to 8 mod 5, that's the same as 3 mod 5. And my congruences mod 5 are the same x congruent to 3, x congruent to 3. So this problem is solvable, and I don't actually need this repeated congruence. So I have 3 divisors, 3, 4, and 5. So I'll start out by finding a multiple of 4 times 5, so a multiple of 20, that's congruent to 0 mod 3. And 60 seems to work out for that. Next, I'll want to find a multiple of 3 times 5, that's congruent to 0 mod 4. And so 3 times 5 is 15, I want to find a multiple of 15 that leaves the remainder 0 when divided by 4. And 60 also works for that. And then finally, I want to find a multiple of 3 times 4, a multiple of 12, that leaves remainder 3 when divided by 5. And so going through our multiples of 12, we find that 48 works. And so adding 60, 60, and 48 together, 168, is one solution to our problem. And I can repeatedly subtract a product of our divisors, 3, 4, and 5. 3 times 4 times 5 is 60. I can repeatedly subtract 60 until I get a smallest possible solution. So 48 is going to be the smallest positive solution to this problem.


Today, 12 members of the department are being promoted to the ranks of sergeant, lieutenant, and commander. So far in their Denver police careers, they have already served the Denver community for a combined 178 years. Our hearts are filled with happiness for all those that are being promoted and for their families. May they remember that to whom much is given, much is required. My prayer is that you'll have a successful tenure in your command, but also that those under your command and yourself will remain safe by God's blessings. Remember, the road to success will more than likely be paid with some adversity. Please do not lose sight of your primary responsibility, which the centerpiece is the prevention of crime. We're all counting on you to make a difference in our community. Congratulations.


Hey, this is Brett, and this 2022 Ram 2500 Crew Cab Shortbox Laramy Level B Sport with the 4x4 off-road package is stock number 14172Z. I am here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, you're new and used heavy-duty truck and Ram headquarters. This 2022 Ram 2500 has the 6.7-liter Cummins diesel engine. It's paired up with the 6-speed 68 RFE automatic transmission. This truck has been fully-safetyed and inspected by our service shop, has a fresh oil and filter change, all the fluids have been checked and topped off, and this truck is 100% ready to go. It has a max tow capacity of 19,870 pounds and a max payload of 2,003 pounds. Found those numbers on Ram's tow guide website, I will link that in the description below so you can check out your truck capacities. Anyways, this truck is super clean and very, very good looking. I'm going to go all the way around in this video inside, underneath, start it up, and take a look under the hood to give you the most accurate representation possible. Flame red clear coats of color, I shoot all my videos in 4K, if you like the video you can subscribe to the YouTube channel, click the bell notifications, get updates on the videos I do each and every day, as well as have access to one of the largest catalogs of vehicle and heavy-duty truck walk-rounds on YouTube. This one comes with the 22-inch American Forest painted and polished aluminum wheels, and these are 33x12.5 R22 LT tires, and they are Nitto Ridge Grapplers. They have right around three-quarters of tread left, I would say 60-70% of the tread. Frame and underbody is exceptionally clean on this truck. This is a one-owner clean title history, clean car facts out of Indiana. Front fender is absolutely perfect. I really like these mud flaps on here. It's the side of your truck looking really good. The Sport package gives you the painted front and rear bumpers. No major dents or dings on there. It does have the front bumper parking sensors. You get the chrome-trimmed grille with the Laramie package. This one does have the 360 camera. The hood is in fantastic condition as well. No dents or dings on there, and you do get the cab lights up top. Passengers side front fender is in excellent shape as well, and the passenger side front wheel, no major scuffs or scrapes on there. As you go down this side of this 2022 Ram 2500, take note of how clean that body is, how reflective and mirror-like that paint is. I take these HD videos, so if you're far away or even if you're close behind, you just cannot make the trip down, but you're still interested in purchasing the truck. You can see the truck here, the truck end up confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before you even get here, so when you do get here, there's absolutely no surprises. You could make a smart and informed buying decision from wherever you're at. If this video helps you make that buying decision, let your salesmen know that you saw the video that it was helpful, and that Brett sent you back wheels in excellent shape as well, and the back tires have just as much tread as the front tires, actually a little bit more. I'd say 75 to 80% on these back tires. Frame and underbody, very, very clean. Definitely nice to get trucks from Indiana, apparently. This is all the remaining factory exhaust, so it hasn't been altered in any way and that underbody is like new. This one does have power running lords. I always like showing both sides, so you know that both sides are working properly. And down the rest of this side of the truck, you get the 4x4 off-road decals there. Those are just stickers. If you didn't like them, you could take them off, but that gives you the Bilstein shocks, rear bumper, parking sensors, full towing package, which includes receiver hitch, 7-pin wiring. You also get camera hookups here, and this is for your trailer guidance system. The tailgate is in excellent condition as well, no major dents or dings on there. Has the power drop-down tailgate with the shock-down assist. Has the fifth wheel and gooseneck prep package. You get 7-pin wiring back here, and then another hookup for trailer guidance. And then 115-volt, 400-watt plug-in LED headlights back here as well. You can turn those off and on with that button. Bed's in really nice shape, very light-duty usage, and that tailgate's in nice condition as well. LED tail lamps coming around to the driver's side, just as clean as that passenger side. No dents or dings on the box. And for full disclosure, this back wheel is in excellent condition as well. But talking about these mudflaps here keeps your lower rockers nice and clean from getting any rock chips, which is really important when you have these wider tires on the vehicle. Cab and doors all look really good, no dents or dings on there. You do get the heated fold-up tow mirrors. They have built-in directional signals, LED side lights, they fold up like so. They fold in like that. And yeah, really nice system. Enter and go system there as well, the 360 cam too. These back seats are in excellent condition, no rips or tears back here. It does have the latch child safety system for any child car seats you may have. Power sliding rear window with the built-in rear defrost. Get the nice gray piping on there, the suede inserts. These seats fold up for extra storage. You get a low floor back here, which is nice for, if you've got muddy boots or tools, put them on there. You're not going to get your seats dirty. And if you've got pets, put both sides down. They've got a nice flat-place delay. Get some original lug nuts with this truck. Storage under here, you also have winter front and some extra stuff for your tow technology group. This is what would plug into that kit or that cook-up in the back. These back seats are heated on the outboard side. You also get all-weather floor mats back here in floor storage with removable bins for easy cleaning. You can put ice and drinks in there.  Or if you're not in Wisconsin, just extra storage space. Here are your heated seat buttons, two USBs, two USB C's, and a 115-volt 400-watt plug-in. Side current airbags on the front seats and child safety locks on the back doors inside and bottoms of the doors are in fantastic condition. This truck is really like new all the way around. Take a look at the bin sticker here. Feel free to pause this. No Canadian trucks here. Tire and loading information sticker. Inside the Laramie level B package gives you the black leather and suede bucket seats. No rips, no tears on any of those. They look really good. And you get the Laramie stitched into the backrest. The gray piping on there. Both these front seats are heated and cooled. Power driver seat, factory all-weather floor mats, auto headlamps, power pedals, power windows, locks and mirrors. You get the suede insert, kind of the diamond-plated finish on the doors there. These mirrors do power fold in. I always like showing both sides so you know that both sides are working properly. And then you also get memory driver seat and power blind spot mirrors so that check out that outside mirror. You can control that from inside the truck. More importantly, you can control the passenger side one which is the one that would be difficult to adjust. Take a look at the miles and everything this truck has to offer on the interior. This one only has 10,502 miles. You get a digital speedometer, compass display, PSI for your turbo and you can change all those corners to read pretty much whatever you want. Comes with a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, cruise controls and gear selector on the right. Bluetooth and information center controls on the left and audio controls on the back of the steering wheel. Push button start. Push button four-wheel drive and you get the UConnect 5C radio, 12-inch 5C radio. Comes with the factory navigation system. This is Highway 41 so you know that is working properly. You also get AM, FM and Sirius XM radio as well as USB and AUGS hookups.  You also get your heated and cooled seat buttons and heated steering wheel controls there. And then you have your different other controls including the cameras. So you can check out your cargo cam. See what's going on in the bed of the truck, back up cam, zoom in on the hitch. Then this is my favorite camera. You can see what's going on on the side of the truck. So if you were backing up a boat or camper, imagine how great that would be. I wish my truck had that system. And then of course you get the surround view camera. So you can see what's going on all the way around the truck. You can check out the front cameras as well. And just a really nice system. You also get all these different apps on here. This one has, like I said, your cargo cam off-road pages which are pretty cool. And just all the other apps here. I'd normally go through this a little bit more but we are crunched for time today. Factory brake controller, factory exhaust, brake tow, hall mode, front and rear parking sensors right there. Two USBs, two USB C's and an AUGS jack, wireless cell phone charge pad, 115 volt, 400 watt plug-in, keyless entry with remote start and power drop down tailgate. Inner console, coin holder, cup holders, very nice and clean. Passengers side format and glove boxes and seat are in excellent condition. No rips or tears on there. Smells very clean inside this truck. And the headliner is in nice shape. You do get the power sunroof up there as well. Map lights, assistant SOS buttons and power sunroof and sliding rear window controls. Home link buttons for your garage door security systems and lighting systems. And you get the rear view mirror camera which is a pretty neat system in its own way. It's a video display of what's going on behind you. Now, if you just want that a regular mirror, you can make that a regular mirror like so. But still a neat system there. This one does have the Harman Kardon premium sound system. We'll start it up and take a look under the hood also. Check out all those LED lights in the front. Starts right up. No check engine lights or anything like that. And you can see these power running boards are working nicely. There are the LED side lights on the mirrors. I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today. And hopefully from this HD video, you've been able to verify the quality condition options and of course, cleanliness of this truck all the way around inside and out. Like I said before, this is one of the cleanest, nicest, sharpest looking trucks on our lot. All those LED lights are super bright. And under the hood, we have the 6.7 liter Cummins diesel engine. It's very clean, runs very smooth. Once again, this truck has been fully safe and inspected by our service shop, has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off. And this truck is 100% ready to go. There is the emission sticker. And I would highly recommend this truck from a quality and condition standpoint. I'd ship this one anywhere, California, Texas, New York, Florida, back to Indiana, wherever whoever's going to get this truck is going to be really happy with it.
