What can real estate professionals learn from 25 years on Wall Street?

What if the worst time to sell your home is actually when everyone tells you to list it? In this episode I sit down with Ryan Bruen, a third-generation agent with Coldwell Banker in New Jersey whose data-driven approach to real estate has helped him close over 31 transactions in 2025 at price points ranging from $600K to $2M – all in his local market. Ryan breaks down why most sellers are asking the wrong questions, how to read market data that is always 30 to 90 days behind reality, and why the in-person connection still drives more business than every digital lead source combined.Inside this episode: Why listing in spring when buyers are plentiful can actually hurt your saleHow to spot the real question hiding behind what your client is actually askingWhy most publicly available market data is already outdated by the time you see itThe two-column spreadsheet Ryan uses to trace every deal back to its true originHow shadowing experienced agents turned transaction exposure into a 31-deal business Want to connect with Ryan?

TCW Podcast Episode 258 - The Shenanigans of CUC Software   Walter Forbes built CUC International from Comp-U-Card, a phone-in discount shopping club that cut out the middleman with a small markup and annual fee, not unlike a proto-Amazon Prime. As computer networks like CompuServe, Prodigy, and GEnie rose, CUC pivoted online and Forbes set his sights on the games business, joining the Sierra On-Line board and buying out Ken Williams and Davidson and Associates for a combined 1.7 billion dollars in stock swaps. Despite promises to Williams that he would not be secondary to a competitor, Bob Davidson of Davidson and Associates ended up running the software division, and when Davidson discovered something troubling enough to dump his stock and left. The cracks were beginning to show. Williams tried to take over, was not given the time of day, and eventually left. Forbes meanwhile pursued a merger with Henry Silverman's HFS, a hospitality giant owning Days Inn, Ramada, Howard Johnson, Century 21, Coldwell Banker, and Avis, forming the new conglomerate Cendant. The true depth of the shenanigans were only starting to show. How could a company consistently just barely beat analyst/market estimates?   Comp-U-Card News Brief: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6H5mdSHyNQ Credit Card Impression Machines: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/S5c2mA1cnv4 New Innovations in Credit Cards (1985): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TBD8HTssRA The Simpsons - The Truth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Nc88_ZEfxg TCW 039 - On-Line Systems: https://www.theycreateworlds.com/episodes/TCW039-on-line-systems TCW 040 - Sierra On-Line: https://www.theycreateworlds.com/episodes/TCW040-sierra-on-line Word Attack (PC-DOS 1983): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJf13H9Wbnk Math Blaster (PC-DOS 1983): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKi_g0g8EWQ TCW 162 - Spinnaker Software: https://www.theycreateworlds.com/episodes/TCW162-spinnaker-software TCW 054 - Blizzard: Vikings and Warcraft: https://www.theycreateworlds.com/episodes/TCW054-blizzard-vikings-and-warcraft TCW 071 - A story of Brøderbund!: https://www.theycreateworlds.com/episodes/TCW071-a-story-of-broderbund TCW 072 - The MYSTeries of Brøderbund! - : https://www.theycreateworlds.com/episodes/TCW072-the-mysteries-of-broderbund   New episodes are on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  BlueSky: @theycreateworlds.bsky.social Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

The Business Council of Westchester recently hosted its highly anticipated annual Swing Into Spring networking event, which took place on Tuesday, April 7, 2026. Held at the elegant Surf Club On The Sound in New Rochelle, the evening provided a spectacular backdrop for professionals to network and have fun. Attendees took full advantage of this signature seasonal gathering to celebrate the community's recent successes while forging vital new business connections. The event was a resounding success, offering a premier space for members to enrich their existing relationships and spark fresh collaborations in a vibrant, high-energy atmosphere. It was truly a cornerstone evening for Westchester's professional landscape!Westchester Talk Radio host Joan Franzino interviewed John Turiano, a Coldwell Banker real estate agent and local influencer known as @MrWestchesterNY. Drawing on his twenty-year background as an editor for Westchester Magazine, Turiano described himself as a "knowledgeable guide" rather than a traditional salesperson, emphasizing his ability to match clients with neighborhoods that fit their specific "vibe," such as the laid-back atmosphere of the Rivertowns versus the country club style of the Sound Shore. 

Most people who lose everything in a real estate crash never come back. Chris Prefontaine did. And the way he did it will completely change how you think about building wealth through property.In this episode of The Proven Entrepreneur Show, host Don Williams sits down with Chris Prefontaine, founder of Smart Real Estate Coach and one of the most respected names in creative real estate investing across the United States. Chris has spent over 34 years in the real estate business. He built homes, ran a Realty Executives franchise, sold his brokerage to Coldwell Banker in 2000, and was riding high until 2008 hit him like a freight train.The crash wiped him out completely. We are talking about going from a waterfront home overlooking the harbor in Newport, Rhode Island to a 976 square foot apartment. No money. Destroyed credit. Starting over at zero. Most people would have walked away from real estate forever. Chris did not. He rebuilt using a completely different set of rules: no bank loans, no personal guarantees, and no more getting paid once on a deal like he was running on a treadmill.That thinking became the Three Payday System, a federally trademarked model that structures every deal to generate three separate income events: money at the transaction, monthly income like a rental property, and a final cash-out payday when the deal closes. One deal. Three paydays. No bank required.Chris also shares the story of a condominium conversion project in Providence, Rhode Island that nearly finished him for good. Units selling at 170,000 dollars became impossible to move at 52,000 dollars overnight. He carried that weight for a decade and came out of it with one rule he teaches before anything else: never sign a personal guarantee on a deal. Not ever.He also gives three concrete steps for anyone starting in real estate today: pick one niche you can stand behind completely, find a mentor who has survived real market cycles, and commit to that path for three to seven years without chasing the next shiny opportunity. Straightforward advice that applies to any industry, not just real estate.This is not a motivational episode built on vague inspiration. It is an honest conversation between two experienced entrepreneurs about what actually works when the market turns against you.Ready to explore creative real estate investing?

The Architect of the Market: How Jim Allen Builds the Future… Most people see a “For Sale” sign and think the story starts there. The truth? The real money and the biggest moves happen years before a foundation is even poured. Today on Real Estate Right Now, we are sitting down with the man who sees the finish line before the race even begins. Jim Allen isn't just a top-tier name at Coldwell Banker; he is a visionary in land development who understands the DNA of a successful community. If you want to know where the market is going, you have to talk to the person building it. We're stripping away the fluff to talk about the high-stakes reality of new construction. Jim will be breaking down the “hidden” side of real estate: identifying raw land with untapped potential, navigating the red tape that stops most builders in their tracks, and the precise science of timing the market. In a world where inventory is tight and “resale” feels like a compromise, Jim explains why new builds are the ultimate solution for today's savvy investors and homeowners. This interview is a rare opportunity to get inside the mind of a developer who has seen every cycle the market can throw at him. We'll discuss the “New Home Advantage”—why certain areas explode in value while others stall, and how Jim's team manages to stay steps ahead of the competition. Whether you're looking to break into development or you just want to understand the forces driving property values in our region, this conversation will change the way you look at a plot of dirt forever. Don’t settle for the headlines; get the ground-truth from a legend. Join us as we dive deep into the strategies, the risks, and the massive rewards of the development world. Jim Allen is ready to share the blueprint—all you have to do is listen. Linda Craft Team, REALTORS, their clients say that their customer service is “legendary” and the reason for that is because for more than 40 years they build and maintain personal relationships with their clients.

This week the largest residential brokerage in history was born and nobody asked the only question that matters. Can the agents actually do the job?Compass completed its merger with Anywhere Real Estate, swallowing Coldwell Banker, Century 21, Corcoran, and Sotheby's into 340,000 agents under a single roof. The same week Zillow launched Zillow Preview, signing Keller Williams, RE/MAX, and Home Services of America to display listings on Zillow and Trulia before they even hit the MLS. eXp Realty cut its own syndication deal with Realtor.com, Homes.com, and Google. Two mega alliances formed in days. Team Compass with Redfin and Rocket on one side. Team Zillow with Keller Williams and RE/MAX on the other. eXp in the middle trying to play both.Every single one of them fighting over the same thing. Who gets to show the listing first. Who captures the first click. Who owns the top of the funnel. This is a plumbing war. They are fighting over pipes. Not one of them is solving whether the agent behind the listing can defend a price at a seller's kitchen table.While they fought over pipes, Fortune Magazine reported that Robert Levine of Cooper City, Florida used ChatGPT to sell his home. He used it for pricing, marketing, scheduling, and negotiations. Showed the home to 15 buyers. Five made offers. Sold in five days for $954,000. That was $100,000 more than what the licensed real estate agents told him his home was worth. His reason for bypassing the agents? They lacked confidence in their own pricing. A chatbot had more conviction about the value of a home than professionals who do this for a living.That is not a technology problem. That is a competence problem. And not one of these brokerage alliances is solving it.Connor connects this to the larger AI consolidation pattern. Elon Musk announced TerraFab in Austin, a $20 to $25 billion semiconductor fabrication facility that would produce 50 times the current global advanced chip output. Same play. Own every layer of the stack. And Friday the White House dropped its national AI policy framework signaling light touch regulation and innovation first. The window for independent operators is open but consolidation is accelerating.The competitive advantage for small operators remains speed, proximity, and trust. Distribution is a commodity. Competence is not.Watch the full episode: https://youtu.be/RnP6WDDWkDwConnorWithHonor.comYoutube Channels:Conner with Honor - real estateHome Muscle - fat torchingFrom first responder to real estate expert, Connor with Honor brings honesty and integrity to your Santa Clarita home buying or selling journey.

There are now officially more sellers than buyers in the United States housing market than at any point in the last 13 years. 46% more sellers than buyers. The widest gap since they started tracking it. And if you are thinking about selling your home right now this is the most important thing you need to understand. The industry is not paying attention to you.This week Compass completed its merger with Anywhere Real Estate, swallowing Coldwell Banker, Century 21, Corcoran, and Sotheby's into 340,000 agents under one roof. The largest residential brokerage on the planet. Zillow launched Zillow Preview, signing Keller Williams, RE/MAX, and Home Services of America to show listings before MLS activation. eXp Realty cut syndication deals with Realtor.com and Homes.com. Two mega alliances formed in days fighting over who gets to show your house first. Not who gets you the best price. Not who negotiates the hardest. Who shows it first on their app.While they fought over distribution a father of three in Cooper City Florida used ChatGPT to sell his home. Pricing, marketing, scheduling, negotiations. Showed the home to 15 buyers. Five offers. Sold in five days for $954,000. That was $100,000 more than what every licensed real estate agent told him. His reason? They lacked confidence in their own pricing. A chatbot had more conviction about the value of his home than the professionals.That is not a technology problem. That is a competence problem. And not one of these mega alliances is solving it.Connor breaks down why the 46% seller surplus changes everything for homeowners, what the brokerage wars actually mean for your equity, and the three questions you need to ask before hiring any agent. Can they defend your price with conviction? What will they do that the next agent will not? And who do they represent, you or the buyer?In a market flooded with sellers your home is competing with every other listing on your street, in your neighborhood, in your zip code. The agents who differentiate your property and create demand win. The agents who stick a sign in the yard and pray lose. And so does your equity.27 years selling real estate in Santa Clarita Valley. Sellers only. No dual agency. No divided loyalty.Your equity. Your rules.

Faith as the Foundation for Leadership, Purpose, and Success For Jim Allen, faith isn’t a compartmentalized part of life; it is the bedrock upon which his entire leadership philosophy is built. In a high-stakes industry like real estate, where the pressure to perform can often lead to a “me-first” mentality, Jim's faith provides a different North Star. It instills a sense of stewardship, reminding him that his platform and success are not just personal achievements, but tools meant to be used for a higher purpose. This spiritual grounding allows him to lead with a sense of peace and stability that filters down through his entire team. Purpose Beyond the Transaction While many define success by the closing of a deal, Jim's faith shifts his focus toward the impact of the relationship. To him, leadership purpose is found in serving others—whether that is guiding a family into their dream home or mentoring an agent to reach their full potential. By viewing his work through the lens of a calling, the mundane tasks of business are transformed into opportunities for ministry and service. This shift from “transactional” to “transformational” is what truly sets his leadership apart in the Raleigh market. Success Defined by Integrity In the world of Coldwell Banker and beyond, Jim has reached the pinnacle of professional success, but his faith ensures that his “how” is just as important as his “what.” Success, in Jim's eyes, is hollow if it isn't achieved with unyielding integrity. His faith acts as an ethical compass, ensuring that even when no one is looking, his decisions align with his core values. This commitment to doing the right thing for the right reasons has built a legacy of trust that outlasts any market cycle or sales record. Empowering Others to Rise Finally, Jim's faith fuels a leadership style rooted in humility and empowerment. He understands that true success is measured by how many people he can bring along with him. By leading with a servant's heart, he creates a culture where his team feels valued as individuals, not just as producers. Jim's faith teaches him that every person has inherent worth, and his purpose as a leader is to help them realize their God-given potential, creating a ripple effect of success that extends far beyond the walls of his office.

La guerre au Moyen-Orient peut-elle bouleverser les marchés immobiliers ? Laurent Demeure analyse l'impact géopolitique sur les investissements et pourquoi Paris et l'Europe redeviennent des valeurs refuges, au micro d'Ariane Artinian. La guerre au Moyen-Orient peut-elle rebattre les cartes de l'investissement immobilier mondial ? Pour certains investisseurs, la question se pose déjà.Laurent Demeure est l'invité de ce nouvel épisode de Mon Podcast Immo. Au micro d'Ariane Artinian, le président de Coldwell Banker Europa Realty analyse les conséquences possibles des tensions géopolitiques sur les marchés immobiliers internationaux.Ces dernières années, des villes comme Dubaï ont connu une croissance spectaculaire, avec près de 270 000 transactions et environ 250 milliards de dollars de volume l'an dernier, et des prix en hausse d'environ 20 % par an. Mais l'arrivée de frappes dans la région change la perception du risque.Pour certains investisseurs internationaux, l'Europe pourrait redevenir un refuge. « Détenir un actif immobilier à Paris reste un investissement sûr, avec une demande locale, nationale et internationale », explique Laurent Demeure. Dans un contexte d'incertitude, certaines grandes fortunes envisagent déjà de rapatrier une partie de leurs investissements vers l'Europe.Autre effet possible : la remontée du prix des matières premières et du pétrole, qui pourrait relancer l'inflation et peser sur les taux d'intérêt. Mais pour le dirigeant, l'immobilier reste un actif de long terme. « L'immobilier fonctionne par cycles et nous entrons dans un nouveau cycle après la correction du marché ».Un épisode pour comprendre comment la géopolitique mondiale peut influencer les stratégies d'investissement immobilier et pourquoi Paris et l'Europe pourraient redevenir des valeurs refuges.Animé par Ariane Artinian, journaliste et fondatrice du média MySweetImmo

President Donald Trump wants to keep home prices high, bypassing calls to ramp up construction so people can afford what has been a ticket to the middle class. The real estate industry, local officials and apartment dwellers say is needed to fix a big chunk of America's affordability problem.

What can HR learn from a company with 350,000 independent agents and 8,000 employees spread across 100+ countries? In this episode of Nine to Thrive HR, host Cindi Koetzle sits down with Tanya Reu-Narvaez, Chief People Officer at Anywhere Real Estate—the umbrella behind brands including Century 21, Coldwell Banker, and Sotheby's International Realty. Tanya shares how the organization moved from 92% in-office to a remote-first model and, counterintuitively, became more connected. She unpacks the practices that broke down brand silos—enterprise learning, cross-company teaming, ERGs with 20% active participation, “Focus Fridays,” and a common culture codified as The Anywhere Way—and how those choices drove retention to a five-year high. The conversation also explores reimagined onboarding via the new People Hub and practical wins with GenAI (think job descriptions in minutes), plus what's next: “Next-Level HR,” a shift to People Enablement, human-centric leadership, and skills-based talent strategies. It's a field guide to building connection at scale—remote, hybrid, or otherwise.

Episode Highlights: Introducing Jennifer Lind, Regional President at Coldwell Banker Jennifer's Impressive Career Journey: Agent, Manager, Owner, Executive The Current Market: Why It's a "Level Up Moment" The Trifecta for Success: Mindset, Skillset, and Action Cultivating a Winning Mindset: Intention, Consumption, and Association Leadership Insights: Leading Through Change vs. Managing Change The Power of Clarity: Knowing Who You Are For (and Who You're Not) Strategies for Building Agent Engagement and Office Culture Industry Evolution: What's Changed and What Remains Constant Since 2003 The Future of Real Estate: Predictions for the Next Five Years Jennifer's Career Growth: Leaning In, Making an Impact, and Staying Connected The Connection Between Momentum and Morale Key Takeaways: "I don't think there's anything we can do in this business that creates any success without mindset." "...managing your mindset is pretty tough... what you consume and who you're around and where you spend your time and where you spend your energy... those all really feed into that." "...this is a level up moment. There's an opportunity." "...whoever is successful right now, it is because they have found a way to get much, much better at the job that they were already good at." "Leading through change is very different than managing the change that's coming to you." "...nobody likes change, but everybody loves innovation." "...if you don't have a good strategy on what change you're going to navigate moving forward, someone will come up with something for you that you may not love." "I personally don't care how many names are on our roster. I want to know that we have the best names on our roster." "There's a lot of strength and a lot of power in clarity." "Agents don't come into the office to do their work. They come in for something much more meaningful... engagement and that connection, that collaboration..." "...wanting to connect and delight and create an emotional connection with your clients... that hasn't changed." "It's about being in the people's lives... when you're in a market like we are, where it's life events..." "...moving forward, this isn't just like a hobby industry. I think there's too much on the line for it to be that moving forward." "[The industry] will get more refined and more sophisticated, which again, I think is great." "...helping [clients] leverage [options]... great news is we're in a market where people have equity and they've got options." "Momentum and morale are very closely connected. You cannot have one without the other..."   Links: Website: http://www.NinjaSelling.com/Podcast  Email: TSW@NinjaSelling.com  Phone: 1-800-254-1650  Podcast Facebook Group: http://www.facebook.com/TheNinjaSellingPodcast  Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/NinjaSelling  Instagram: @NinjaSellingOfficial  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ninjaselling  Upcoming Public Ninja Installations: https://NinjaSelling.com/events/list/?tribe_eventcategory%5B0%5D=183&tribe__ecp_custom_2%5B0%5D=Public  Ninja Coaching: http://www.NinjaSelling.com/course/ninja-coaching/
