Author: Johnoson Crutchfield September 8, 2026 Duration: 3:47
Shownotes: Business is being won by people who get attention. In this session, Johnoson Crutchfield explains why staying visible is one of the most powerful ways to create business opportunities in real estate. His strategy is simple: get attention, stay top of mind, and clearly tell people what you're looking for. Johnoson shares how he consistently uses email, text messages, and social media to keep Grab the Map in front of his audience. The goal isn't simply to promote—it's to make sure people remember who you are when an opportunity comes up. He also highlights driving for dollars as a strategy he considers a “cheat code,” while other investors in the discussion share strategies including PropStream, social media, working with real estate agents, absentee owners, and high-equity properties. The bigger lesson is that every opportunity to get attention is an opportunity to let people know what you're looking for and where you're buying Episode Timeline: 00:00 – Business Is Being Won by Attention 00:30 – Staying Top of Mind 01:00 – Why Attention Creates Opportunities 01:35 – Driving for Dollars 02:03 – PropStream, Social Media & Agent Networking 02:35 – Use Every Opportunity to Get Attention03:00 – Tell People What You're Looking For Quotes: “Business is being won by people who get attention.” “Anytime somebody gives you opportunity to get attention, you should tell people what you're looking for.” “The more attention you can get, the more money you can make.” Key Takeaways: Attention creates opportunities. People can't send you deals if they don't know who you are or what you're looking for. Stay consistently visible. Email, text, and social media can keep your business top of mind. Tell people your buying criteria. Clearly communicate the locations and types of properties you're looking for. Use free strategies. Driving for dollars and social media can help generate opportunities without relying entirely on paid marketing. Build relationships. Working with agents and other investors can create additional deal opportunities. Conclusion: Getting more real estate deals isn't always about finding another lead source. Sometimes, it's about making sure more people know who you are, what you do, and what you're looking to buy. The more consistently you put yourself and your buying criteria in front of people, the more likely you are to stay top of mind when an opportunity appears. Don't just look for deals—make sure people know you're looking for them. Ready to Take the Next Step?
