“Have I told you lately that you’re the greatest thing since sliced cheese? And that at least every other day Matt and I tell each other out loud about how grateful we are to have found you?
You’re a true blessing and are helping us like no other coach to make impactful changes within our business, at a pace that makes sense. And you ‘GET’ technology, too! Coach D, you’re a dream come true. “
- Julia Fishel
"We closed 80 transactions in 2009, started coaching with Darin in 2010, and ended the year with 124 closed transactions." - Incorvaia Team
I wanted to start to build a team and with Darin's coaching I have added 2 full
time buyers agents and a virtual assistant. We are getting so organized
and now I am able to prospect for listings like I should have been doing
before.
Darin is a KICK ASS coach, motivator and a genius. Yes, he has a mind that is incredible.
I feel that Darin is vested in my success both personally and professionally. He is a dear friend and I am excited we are now partners.

"Of the 20 years I've spent in real estate, I've never received the type of training and coaching that truly engages my clients in the way that creates results I was looking for. Darin's strategies are simple, powerful, inexpensive & most of all, productive beyond my expectations." - Stacey McVey 
“Since coaching with Darin, I got refocused and reconnected to my sphere. In the last 40 days I have made $53,000. Just took two new listings and I’m having fun again in business.” – Kris Cantrell
"I have been working with Darin for 10 weeks now, I was looking for a way to take my business to another level going into my second full year of real estate. I closed 32 deals in 2011 and so far with the help, guidance and motivation I am on pace to double my transactions in 2012. The most exciting part about working with Darin is I am able to increase my production without adding hours to my week, Darin has taught me how to leverage my time and use it more efficiently. If you are serious about taking your real estate career to a new level, it is a MUST to start working with Darin Persinger as soon as you possibly can." - Ryan Shields
We have now officially written 35% of last years business, in the first 2 months of 2012. We are on track for 50% of last years business by the end of this month, February. - Chuck & Christina Ethridge
I am the owner of a very young company that was growing faster than I was ready for. I had a head FULL of wonderful ideas and I had a vision. I found myself not being able to accomplish many of my goals, due to the lack of focus. I was jumping from one project to another, while completing none of them. I WAS the shiny object chaser. Thanks to Darin, I don't see shiny objects any longer...I have my eye on the one thing that counts...what works for me and what is best for MY company.
I made the commitment to coaching the moment I knew I could trust Darin. I felt like I needed someone that had been in the trenches and continued to educate themselves. I found all of that in Darin. - Elizabeth Cooper-Golden
"Levels is working great! It's really helping me stay very organized and scheduled. I just listed a house today, I'm doing another listing presentation tomorrow, I did showings Sunday and last night. I should be listing another property this week and a possible offer on a property." - Sonia Lyonnais
"In only 8 weeks, I've increased my bottom line by 27%." - Jonathan Rivera aka Real-Tech Guy of Official Real Estate Referral Group
"When this program had started, I had only 4 deals closed for the entire year. Since starting in Levels, I have added 3 listings, wrote 7 offers and will have closed 3 deals." - Rich Ganim

Flip Cam
I use a Flip Cam for my Productivity Nuggets.
Are there camera’s that have higher quality video? Yup.
Better mics? Yup.
So why do I use a Flip Cam. It’s simple. Turn it on and off is a no-brainer. Has a simple 4 key pad built around the red record button. The 4 key’s zoom in, out and move forward and backward through previous recording video’s. When I’m out and about and decide to interview someone for a real estate coaching video, I have to find a camera person. Instead of spending 5 minutes explaining how the camera works, I can just turn it on and say “Push the red button.”
I don’t need to keep track of cables or plugs either. It takes 2 AA batteries and has a built in USB plug that flips out from the side. Thus the name of the camera. It’s the right size. Fits in my pocket. Even the editing software is using to use. It’s click and drag. I love the simplicity of my Flip Cam, so I use it more then if I had a fancy $500+ video camera with lots of features.
Because I use it more, that means more real estate coaching video’s for you.
Apple Macbook
I use an Apple Macbook. I was not always a Mac. I was a PC, even part time until a few days a go when my HP crashed. Thus my reason for being a Macbook guy now.
Apple has created a user experience by removing the non-essential, in hardware and software. Even the way the disc player works to the fact that all my plug-in ports are on one side.
The operating system is click and drag. If I want to save a picture, I just drag it on to my desktop.
It can do some very complex things though when I desire. I can take a picture of anything on my screen, at any size with the command – shift- 4 drag move. On my PC I would have need to get another application called Jing to do that.

Apple iPod
MP3 music had been around since 1994 and was making its way around on the internet. The first MP3 player was released in 1997. This now meant that people could put the music that was trapped on their computer on to a portable player.
Five years later Apple release their iPod. That changed everything. The iPod was able to hold an extrodinaroy amount of music and was also so simple to use. Anyone could operate it. It has one button and a spin wheel. One button!!!
Because of the simplicity of operating an iPod everyone wanted one. Over 240,000,000 have been sold worldwide since January 2010. The iPod change how we listen to music, how we get our music and is making the music industry redefine themselves.
Oprius CRS
I was coaching at a real estate company and was working with over 50 individual real estate agents as their coach. About 70% of them were using Top Producer as their database and contact management system.
I take that back. They were paying for Top Producer, but they weren’t using it. It was becoming a theme in my real estate coaching conversations. The reason why? Everyone said it was to complicated, especially after the feature creep from 8i.
I was then on a mission to find a Client Relationship System/Contact Management System that was simple, effective and affordable. I spent 50+ hours researching every type of industry from, account sales, to resorts, to hospitality to non-profits. Oprius was the one that stood out to me. It did every thing a real estate agent would need it do, yet was simple enough for the agent to actually want to use it.
As one of my coaching clients said, “Oprius is like Google and Top Producer is like Yahoo!”
What search engine do you use? If you are like 80% of people you use Google. Sure it brings you the results you want, but it’s more than that.
Think back to the beginning of when the internet is starting to take off. People want to go online and check it out. You try to explain to them that they can just type in some words about what they are interested in and BAM! there it is. So are you going to send this newbie to Yahoo! which is all cluttered with ads, links and text or Google ,which is so obvious how it works.
