Whether you're a brand-new agent still waiting on your first commission check or a seasoned agent trying to jumpstart a slow season, the real question is the same: where do you find a deal?  In real estate, there's no shortage of strategies: calling expireds, launching Facebook ads, working your sphere, and hosting open houses, but not all strategies are created equal, especially when you're just starting out.  Some methods build momentum fast, others require more skill, time, or confidence than most new agents have on day one. The goal isn't just to get a transaction, it's to get that first win that proves you belong in this business.  What are some of the easiest ways to generate a deal in 60-90 days? What lead gen methods should new agents avoid until they have more experience?  In this episode, we unpack the best ways to get early traction, from tapping into buyer leads and old contacts in your brokerage's database to simple text scripts that turn conversations into contracts.  Things You'll Learn In This Episode  Your sphere isn't exhausted; it's untapped Most agents don't fail because people don't trust them; they fail because they never actually reach out. What would happen if you texted every single contact in your phone this week? Old leads are hidden gold That “cold” or “dead” lead in the CRM might be someone else's future closing. What deals could you unlock if you spent just three hours a day calling your database? Buyers build momentum faster than listings If you're trying to get paid sooner rather than later, working buyer leads can be the quickest way to a paycheck. Why are so many agents resisting the easiest deals to close? Avoid the toughest game too early Expireds are powerful, but not for beginners. What traps do agents fall into when they jump into advanced lead types before building confidence?   About Your Host Greg Harrelson is a real estate agent, coach, trainer, and owner of Century 21 The Harrelson Group.

It's Wednesday, November 12th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Chinese Communists arrested and detained three Christians Communist authorities in central China arrested and detained three Christians from a house church this month. Two of the Christians are pastors. They are facing trumped up charges of “fraud” and had previously spent over two years in custody. Officials often use such charges against house church leaders for simply receiving tithes and offerings. ChinaAid noted, “In recent years, the charge of ‘fraud' has increasingly been used by local governments across China as a common tactic to suppress pastors of house churches systematically.” Psalm 14:1, 4 says, “The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God.' They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none who does good. … Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up My people as they eat bread, and do not call on the LORD?” Japanese soldiers address attacks by bears Japan deployed troops to the northern part of the island country last week to deal with a string of deadly attacks—from bears. Since April of this year, bears have killed at least 13 people in Japan and injured over 100 more. That's the most fatalities on record. Experts are blaming the attacks on a poor acorn harvest this year. Bears are now leaving their natural habitats and wandering into urban areas to find food. In one incident last month, a bear attacked shoppers at a supermarket 80 miles north of Tokyo.   Supreme Court affirms Trump's call for biologically accurate passports In the United States, the U.S. Supreme ruled in favor of the Trump administration in a case involving so-called gender identity.  The ruling allows the State Department to require passports to list the holder's biological sex at birth. The court ruled 6-3 along ideological lines.  The ruling stated, “Displaying passport holders' sex at birth no more offends equal protection principles than displaying their country of birth—in both cases, the government is merely attesting to an historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential treatment.” Nebraska defunded Planned Parenthood Nebraska became the latest state to defund abortion providers like Planned Parenthood.  The state's Republican Governor Jim Pillen  signed an executive order last Thursday to end Medicaid funding to abortion providers. Nebraska made the move after the U.S. Supreme Court allowed South Carolina to defund Planned Parenthood.   Listen to comments from Nebraska State Attorney General Mike Hilgers. HILGERS: “Today is a culmination of years of work to ensure that Nebraska taxpayers no longer have their tax dollars going to fund abortions in the state of Nebraska. It's a fight that has gone on even from my time in the legislature.  “When we first got Title X funds, we stopped Title X from going to abortion providers, and now, thanks to [Nebraska] Governor Pillen's leadership, we have finally gotten to a place where taxpayer funds will no longer support abortions.” Age of first-time home buyer has increased to record high of 40 The National Association of Realtors released their 2025 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers. The share of homes being bought by first-time buyers dropped to a record low of 21% over the last year. Meanwhile, the typical age of a first-time buyer climbed to an all-time high of 40. Jessica Lautz, Deputy Chief Economist for the National Association of Realtors, said, “The historically low share of first-time buyers underscores the real-world consequences of a housing market starved for affordable inventory.” Regular Bible readers are more generous The American Bible Society released a new chapter from its State of the Bible USA 2025 report. The research found people who read the Bible regularly are more likely to be generous. Among Christian denominations, Evangelical Protestants have the highest percentage of givers and the highest median amount given. John Plake with the American Bible Society said, “The correlation between Scripture engagement and loving behavior and generosity is undeniable. The more people engage with Scripture, the more likely they are to give of their time, talents, and treasures and to act lovingly toward their neighbors.” In 1 Corinthians 9:7, the Apostle Paul wrote, “So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.” Florida's first search-and-rescue otter And finally, officials in Florida are deploying their first ever search-and-rescue otter. Splash, the two-year-old otter, is now helping the Martin County Sheriff's Office in search and rescue missions. Splash uses a unique bubble technique to detect scents underwater. This allows him to find missing bodies more effectively than dive teams can.  Listen to comments from Sheriff John Budensiek to CBS12 News. BUDENSIEK: “We see a lot of innovative things with technology [Artificial Intelligence], but we're going back to the basics of using an animal to do what they do best, and that's to go in their own environment and detect things that don't belong there.” A rescue otter.  What a brilliant way to employ one of God's creatures to rescue those made in God's image!

Financial Times reports Miami developers courting wealthy New Yorkers fleeing Zohran Mamdani's NYC. PBD and the crew debate taxes, crime, and whether an exodus will lift Florida real estate. Will businesses and jobs follow south, or is this hype over a short-lived surge?

When real estate agents struggle, the first thing they do is blame the market: the interest rates, the inventory, the leads. But the truth is, that's not why agents are failing. The truth is simpler and more uncomfortable. Most agents fail because they overcomplicate what actually works. They treat real estate like a hobby, showing up when they feel like it and wondering why their results are unpredictable. They think they are following up and nurturing leads, when all they are doing is notifying people.  What does it take to win in a slow market? How do you align your habits with the success you want?  In this episode, we break down the hard truths about why agents fail, and what separates those who last from those who leave.    Things You'll Learn In This Episode  Overcomplication kills performance Agents often add layers of busywork to justify their commissions. What would happen if you focused only on the actions that directly lead to appointments? Treat it like a business, not a hobby Most agents have no real plan or structure. How does your day change when you start thinking like an entrepreneur instead of an employee? Structure beats hustle Working “24/7” isn't a badge of honor; it's a lack of boundaries. How does consistency in your schedule create both results and freedom? Conversations = closings There's still a direct correlation between the people you talk to and the deals you close. How would your year look if you built your day around that one rule?   About Your Hosts   Greg Harrelson is a real estate agent, coach, trainer, and owner of Century 21 The Harrelson Group.

Are you basing your home-buying decisions on what you think you know about interest rates?Most people are—and it's costing them big time.

The typical first-time home buyer in the U.S. was 40 years of age, an all-time high, according to an annual report released this week from the National Association of Realtors. The surveys were based on transactions between July 2024 and June 2025.Additionally, only 21% of purchases were from first-time buyers, an all-time low and roughly half of the 2007 figure.From a multifamily perspective, rental housing is now capturing adults for approximately an extra decade longer than it used to, primarily due to affordability and lack of inventory. While that is a boost to rental housing demand, the trend has been a drag on the economy and job market.Explore our webpage for more insights and resources:https://bit.ly/Radix_Website

Real estate ain't just about buying and selling houses, it's about people. The families we help, the communities we build, the dreams we make possible through ownership. Anybody can chase closings. But being a REALTOR® means something deeper; it means showing up with integrity, protecting consumers, and building trust one deal, one class, one conversation at a time. And let's get one thing straight, mentorship isn't a Facebook post. It's not about being seen. Mentorship is a promise. It's about opening doors, not hoarding keys. It's not proximity, it's access.

How do we make sure people stay at the heart of this business? Lift as you climb When one of us grows, we all grow. How do we build each other up instead of competing to stay small? Why mentorship matters Mentorship isn't charity; it's how we protect the profession. How do you make sure your success leaves a door open for someone else?
