    In this solo episode of the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, I go straight into the trenches on a topic that frustrates most investors but fires me up: overpriced homes. Most investors run from them, argue with sellers, or waste time trying to prove them wrong. I want to show you why I love them, how to think about them differently, and how to turn them into real creative finance opportunities.     I break down why overpriced homes usually mean little competition, why motivation often reveals itself over time, and how to stop fighting with sellers over comps and instead move to their side of the table. I walk through the exact language we use to uncover motivation, how to position premium prices with premium terms, and why principal-only payments can make a "high" price completely workable. I also explain the one key question that tells you whether a seller is worth following up with or not.    If you want more subject-to deals, owner financing deals, and three-payday opportunities without chasing dead leads, this episode will help you see overpriced properties as one of the best niches in creative real estate.   Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Introduction 01:26 A peek inside the In the Trenches Bootcamp 02:13 What most investors do wrong with overpriced homes 03:30 Why creative investors love overpriced homes 04:18 Stop sitting across the table from the seller 05:11 The key reframe: the market makes up the numbers 06:15 What happens in the conventional market 07:30 Why creative deals are the better path 09:10 Free discovery session with the Smart Real Estate Coach team 10:21 Sample scenarios: free and clear homes, sellers with mortgage and equity 11:03 Why longer terms can justify a premium price 12:11 The most important question in the whole script 13:20 How to decide your follow-up strategy 14:03 The Smart Real Estate Coach system in REI BlackBook 15:10 The one constant in real estate: market changes 16:20 Real 3 Payday potential and 6-figure deals 17:40 Subscribe, give feedback, and keep learning   Quotables   "The market makes up the numbers.

    Rural households struggling to pay for heating oil are to receive government help with their bills. The war in the Middle East has had a massive impact on global supplies of oil, gas and fertiliser - pushing up prices. The Prime Minister has pledged to help people who have seen their bills soar: energy prices will be capped until the end of June; the cut in fuel duty has been extended until September; and the government's allocated £53 million to help vulnerable rural households with their heating oil bills. We speak to the Rural Services Network which welcomes the support, but says a long term strategy's needed to reflect the extra costs of living and working in the countryside.New laws to protect livestock from dog attacks are coming into force. It's the first time the law around livestock-worrying has changed since it was introduced more than 70 years ago The government says livestock numbers have doubled since then, and more people are visiting the countryside with their dogs. The changes include new powers for police; the use of DNA testing to identify dogs which attack; and dog owners can now be ordered to pay for the cost of seizing and detaining their dog. There'll also be scope to issue an unlimited fine - previously the maximum penalty was one thousand pounds. We speak to a dairy farmer from Cheshire whose livestock have been attacked about the difference the new laws will make.All week we're looking at food processing. We visit one of Scotland's biggest venison processors to hear how the raw product is delivered to them and how they deal with wildly fluctuating supplies.

    What separates agents who build real businesses from those who stay stuck selling just a few homes each year? In this episode, James and Keith sit down with Lisa Chinatti, broker-owner of Chinatti Realty Group, to unpack the mindset and systems that helped her go from selling a handful of homes per year to closing 82 transactions as a solo agent and eventually building a brokerage with over 100 agents. Lisa shares the daily prospecting habits that changed her career, why booking appointments became her single most important metric, and how treating real estate like a real business transformed her results. They also dive into leadership, building a team, running an in-house ISA department, and why diagnosing problems in your business before trying to fix them is critical.

This annual research breaks down what buyers and sellers are actually doing — and what they expect from their agents.  With 55% of buyers being repeat buyers, yet only 13% using their previous agent again, the message is clear: past performance doesn't guarantee future loyalty. Even more telling, nearly half of buyers and over half of sellers hire the first agent they contact.  Today's clients prioritize pricing strategy, negotiation expertise, and a seamless, organized offer process.

    The Listing Bits Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! Overview Greg Robertson sits down with Brett Humphrey, founder of Joynt, to discuss a new approach to housing affordability through co-ownership. Brett shares his background as a longtime software developer and entrepreneur, including selling a consulting business to Accenture before launching Joynt. The conversation explores how shared home ownership could help address affordability challenges by allowing multiple buyers to jointly purchase and manage property, along with the technical and legal infrastructure required to make that process safe and practical. Key Takeaways Founder background: Brett Humphrey spent decades as a software engineer and consultant before launching Joynt, an idea he had been considering since the early 2000s. Affordability challenge: The core problem Joynt aims to address is housing affordability, particularly in expensive markets like Southern California. Co-ownership model: Joynt enables multiple parties to co-own a home, providing tools and frameworks to handle ownership structure, responsibilities, and ongoing management. Making co-ownership practical: The platform focuses on reducing the complexity and risk of shared ownership by providing software tools and structured agreements. Shift in industry thinking: The discussion highlights the need for the real estate industry to think beyond traditional home purchases and consider alternative ownership models. Timing and market conditions: Rising home prices and affordability pressures make shared ownership models increasingly relevant.

    Where in the world am I? In San Diego, talking about Thessoloniki Greece, Part 1 Welcome to the  Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide podcast. I returned from a 90-day journey around the world, and I'm excited to connect with fellow travelers and share experiences for world peace. Here is an FAQ about plane or train travel, Thessoloniki Greece, Part 1, and also about a health issue you don't want when you travel. Give a listen. I guide you to solo travel experiences to bring out your best. The FAQ is: If you could take a plane or a train, which would it be and why? Answer:  If I have the choice between a plane and a train, Most of the time… I choose the train. Now let's be practical. If the distance is extreme — say, cross-country or intercontinental — the plane wins on efficiency. At this stage of life, I value my energy. Six hours in the air may beat twenty hours of transfers. But when are both realistic options? Train. Here's why. First, the train allows me to arrive gently. There's no stripping down at security, no liquid anxiety, no rushing to a distant gate. I walk onto the train. I keep my water. I keep my dignity. That matters. Second, the scenery. At 50+, we understand that the journey is not separate from the destination. On a train, I see villages, farmland, people waiting on platforms, laundry on balconies. I watch life unfold. A plane gives me clouds. Third, ease of movement. I can stand up. Walk. Stretch. Visit the café car. Talk to someone if I choose — or not. For solo women, that flexibility feels empowering. Fourth, arrival point. Trains typically drop you in the center of town. Planes drop you 40 minutes away, followed by taxis, shuttles, and more logistics. Simplicity wins. Now — here's where I get skeptical of my own bias. If I'm exhausted… If connections are complicated… If safety or night travel becomes a concern…Going from Oslo to Bergen this past summer, we had a 7-hour delay, stranded in Voss due to the heated tracks. That was not unusual, I later learned. Side note: I did enjoy my time in Voss and learned to slow down. If I anticipate a delay like this, I will absolutely take the plane. Comfort and safety override romance. So my answer? If time is short and distance is long,,,,, fly. If time is flexible and distance is reasonable, take the train and let the world move past your window. At this stage of life, we're not just getting somewhere. We're experiencing how we get there. And that is the difference.   60-second confidence challenge Your challenge today  Confidence Challenge in Greece and on trains.

It's the first year that my son is really excited about it. So, hoping we can win a few games. Jay Bacow: Let's hope they don't lose the first game and make him cry like you did a few years ago. But … Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Jay Bacow, co-head of Securitized Products Research at Morgan Stanley. James Egan: And I'm Jim Egan, the other co-head of Securitized Products Research at Morgan Stanley. Jay Bacow: Today, with everything going on in the world, we thought it'd be prudent to discuss the U.S. mortgage and housing market. It's Thursday, March 12th at 10:30am in New York. James Egan: Jay, as you mentioned, there is a lot going on in markets right now, but hey, people need to live somewhere. And those somewheres remain pretty unaffordable. But this administration has been very focused on affordability, and we also have some updates on what is clearly the most exciting part of the housing and mortgage markets – regulation. What's going on there? Jay Bacow: Look, nothing gets me more excited than thinking about the regulatory outlook for the mortgage market. We've been focusing a lot on what's happening in D.C. with possible changes that could be helping out affordability, changes to the investor program, changes to the policy rate. But Michelle Bowman, who is the Vice Chair of Supervision, has been recently on the tape saying that we could get an update and a proposal for the Basel Endgame by the end of this month; and that proposal for the Basel Endgame is likely to make it easier for banks to hold loans on their balance sheet. It's going to give banks excess capital and the combination of these, along with some other changes that are going to be coming from the Fed, the FDIC and the OCC around: For instance, the GSIB surcharge that our banking analysts led by Manan Gosalia have spoken about – it's really going to help out the mortgage market in our view. James Egan: Alright, so freeing up capital, helping the mortgage market. When we think about the implications to affordability specifically, what do you think it means for mortgage rates? Jay Bacow: Right. So, it's important that [when] we think about the mortgage rate, we realize where it's coming from. The mortgage rate starts off with the level of Treasury rates, and then you add upon that a spread. And the spread is dependent among a number of different factors. But one of the biggest ones is just the demand. And one of the reasons why mortgage rates have been so high over the previous four years was (a) Treasury rates were high, but also the spread was wide. And we think one of the biggest reasons why the spread was wide is that the domestic banks, who are the largest asset type investor in mortgages – they own $3 trillion of mortgages – basically weren't buying them over the past four years. And one of the reasons they weren't buying was they didn't have the regulatory clarity. And so, if the banks come back, that will cause that spread to tighten, which will likely cause the mortgage rate to come down. That is presumably, Jim, good about affordability, right? James Egan: Yes. And I want to clarify, or at least emphasize, that affordability itself has been improving. Over the course of the past four to five months at this point, we've been close to, if not at the lowest mortgage rate we've seen in three years. And when we think about what that has practically done to the monthly principal and interest payment on homes purchased today. Like that monthly payment on the median priced home is down $150 over the past year. That's about a 7 percent decrease. When we lay in incomes – or when we layer in incomes to get into that actual affordability equation, we're at our most affordable place since the second quarter of 2022. So yes, big picture, this is still a challenge to affordability environment. But it's not as challenged as it's been over the past three years. Jay Bacow: All right, so affordability improving. It's still challenged though. What does that mean for home prices then? James Egan: So, when we think about the home price implication of mortgage rates coming down; of mortgage rates coming down in an environment where incomes are going up – we're thinking about demand for shelter, purchase volumes and supply of that shelter. And demand really has not reacted to the improved affordability environment. That's not unusual. Normally takes about 12 months for affordability improvement to pull through in terms of increased transaction volumes. But we do think that the lock-in effect that we've talked about in detail on this podcast in the past, that is going to play a role here. Mortgage rates end of February finally hit a five handle, really, for the first time in three years. They're back above that now with the volatility in the interest rate markets. But from 4 percent to 6 percent, mortgage rates is effectively an air pocket. We don't think you're going to get a lot of unlocking at these levels. So we think that transaction volumes will pick up. We're calling for 3 to 4 percent growth in purchase volumes this year. But they've been largely flat for two to three years at this point. And more importantly, any improvement in affordability that comes from a decrease in mortgage rates is going to lead to commensurately more supply alongside that growth in demand – which is going to keep home prices, specifically, very range bound here. The pace of growth is slowed to about 1.3 to 1.5 percent right now. We've been here for four or five months. We think we're pretty much going to stay here. We we're calling for 2 percent growth, so a little bit acceleration. But we think you're in a very range bound home price market. Jay Bacow: All right, so home prices range bound, affordability improved. But still has a little bit of room to go. Some possible tailwinds from the deregulatory path that will make homes being a little bit more affordable. Fair amount going on.

What began in her garage has grown into a national nonprofit now operating in five states. To date, Humble Design has furnished more than 4,200 homes, helping over 12,500 individuals, including veterans and survivors of domestic abuse. In this inspiring conversation, Treger shares how one act of compassion can spark lasting change—and why creating a home is about far more than furniture. In this episode, Treger discusses: • How Humble Design began with one family and one small act of kindness • Why dignity and empathy are essential in creating a home • The power of community in helping families start again • Her new initiative, Homes by Humble, expanding affordable housing solutions Treger believes we all have the ability to help.

    When consumers are browsing homes, researching neighborhoods, or comparing agents, they're not planning to wait until tomorrow for a reply. They're evaluating in real time, and they want to connect immediately. The challenge? Agents can't be available every second. Speed-to-contact is a competitive advantage, but there's almost always a gap between someone showing interest and us entering the conversation. And that gap costs us the lead. Advanced AI chatbots eliminate that gap. They allow us to respond instantly, start meaningful conversations, and capture leads the moment interest is expressed. And the best part? We're not limited to generic auto-replies or placeholder messages. We can respond with informed, specific insights that sound like us and reflect our expertise. Without being chained to our inboxes, we can show up at the exact moment a prospect is ready to engage. So how can AI chatbots help us generate more leads, grow our database, and close more deals? In this episode, global AI strategist, international speaker, and real estate leader Jeremias "JMan" Maneiro returns. Together, we break down how to use AI to create true 24/7 availability, without sacrificing your time, energy, or personal touch. Things You'll Learn In This Episode  No content, no visibility If AI answer engines are pulling from indexed content across the web, what happens to agents who never built a digital footprint of their own? The difference between old bots and AI chatbots Flowchart-based tools like ManyChat rely on rigid triggers and mind maps. How does an AI-powered chatbot create more natural conversations and better lead capture without constant manual mapping? Zillow can charge more (and you'll have to pay it) If the portals have out-published you for years, are you competing with them, or funding them? $20 AI tools vs. a six-figure staff When AI can function like an on-demand marketing, content, and admin team, why are so many agents still resisting the smallest investment in their own leverage?   Guest Bio Jeremias "JMan" Maneiro is a global AI Strategist, international speaker, and real estate leader who helps entrepreneurs and sales professionals turn artificial intelligence into a practical growth engine. As Chief Edutainment Officer of JMan Seminars and co-founder of Big Brain Chat Bots, JMan works with agents, brokers, educators, and business owners around the world to simplify AI and make it profitable. He has delivered thousands of live and virtual sessions internationally, showing professionals how to streamline operations, automate follow-up, elevate client experiences, and differentiate themselves in competitive markets using AI-driven systems. Known for blending strategy with stage presence, JMan focuses on implementation over hype. From building AI-powered social selling frameworks and deploying chatbots for 24/7 global lead capture to leveraging predictive analytics and content automation, he equips audiences with tools they can apply immediately across borders and industries. His philosophy is clear: AI should amplify your authenticity, not replace it. Technology is most powerful when it enhances human connection at scale.

Search interest for “why won't my house sell” recently hit its highest level ever in the U.S. In this episode of Tom's Take, Tom explains the real reason some homes aren't selling in today's market—and why it doesn't necessarily mean the housing market is crashing. The reality is the market is normalizing after the pandemic's “everything sells instantly” conditions. When a home struggles to sell, it almost always comes down to three factors: how the home shows, how it's marketed, and how it's positioned in the market. In this video you'll learn: * The three reasons homes sell (or don't sell)
 * Why pricing is part of your marketing strategy
 * The importance of a strong listing launch plan
 * How aggressive marketing creates buyer demand
 * What sellers should evaluate if their home is sitting on the market
 If your home hasn't sold yet, the right strategy could make all the difference.

    Homes hold memories. They hold family history, meaning, and for many, a lifetime of love. But as we age, the very places that once felt secure can quietly become harder—and riskier—to live in. Most homes in the U.S. were never designed for aging bodies. Yet many older adults feel emotionally and financially locked in. The result? Families delay important housing decisions until a crisis forces change. Today, we were joined by Harlan Accola, who leads the reverse mortgage team at Movement Mortgage, about a lesser-known option that may help older adults move into safer homes—without taking on new required monthly payments. The Hidden Danger: Falls at Home Falls are far more common—and costly—than most people realize. Roughly 30 million older Americans fall each year. About one in five of those falls results in serious injury, often leading to hospitalization. The direct medical costs alone total nearly $50 billion annually. But the emotional and lifestyle costs for families can be even greater. What's sobering is where these falls happen. Not in extreme situations—but in ordinary places: Stairways Bathrooms Entryways Narrow hallways These everyday features become obstacles as mobility changes. Why So Many Homes Don't Fit Aging Adults Most homes were built decades ago for young families in different stages of life. Only a small percentage include basic accessibility features such as: Step-free entries Main-floor bedrooms Main-floor bathrooms Wider doorways and hallways As a result, stairs, tubs, and tight spaces often push older adults toward assisted living or nursing homes—not because they want to move, but because their homes no longer support their safety. Why Many Families Feel “Stuck” Even when homeowners recognize their house isn't ideal anymore, they often hesitate to move. There are two major reasons: 1. Emotional Attachment This is the home where children were raised, and milestones were celebrated. Letting go isn't easy. 2. Financial Lock-In Many retirees either: Have very low mortgage rates (2–3%), or Own their homes outright They worry that selling means taking on a new mortgage payment—something they might regret later in life. So they stay…often until something goes wrong. A Little-Known Option: Reverse Mortgage for Purchase Many people assume a reverse mortgage is only for accessing equity in their current home. But there's another option: using a reverse mortgage at the point of purchase. Here's how it can work: A homeowner sells their current home. They use the proceeds to purchase a new, safer home. A reverse mortgage helps cover the difference. For example: Sell a $300,000 home. Purchase a $500,000 home. Use a $200,000 reverse mortgage for purchase. The key distinction? No required monthly mortgage payments for as long as the homeowner lives in the home. That opens the door to: Newer construction Energy-efficient homes Low-maintenance properties Better design for aging in place A Shift in Thinking: Prevention, Not Reaction One of the wisest principles in Scripture is found in Proverbs 27:12: “The prudent see danger and take refuge.” Housing decisions in later life should reflect that kind of prudence. Rather than waiting for: A fall A wheelchair A medical emergency Families can proactively ask: How can we use the housing wealth we've built to improve safety and quality of life—while we're still healthy? When purchasing a home for the “fourth quarter” of life, it shouldn't just be your best home—it should be your safest home. Stewarding Home Equity Wisely Interestingly, two-thirds of retirees still carry a mortgage. Even when downsizing, some may still need financing. A reverse mortgage for purchase can allow retirees to: Avoid required monthly payments Preserve some cash for investments or future needs Move into a safer home Maintain flexibility Like any financial tool, it isn't right for everyone. But for some families, it may provide a path forward they didn't realize existed. Moving Forward Housing is more than real estate—it's stewardship. It's about safety, dignity, and wise preparation for the season ahead. If you'd like to learn more about whether a reverse mortgage for purchase could fit your situation, you can explore your options at Movement.com/Faith. As with any major decision, seek wise counsel, pray for clarity, and take steps not just to protect your assets—but to protect your well-being. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: My grandfather set up 529 plans for my two older kids. If there's money left after they graduate, can I transfer it to my younger daughter? And once she's finished, could I split any remaining funds into separate accounts for each child's future family? I often hear advice to put 10% into precious metals for retirement. What's your take—and is there a biblical perspective on that? Also, in retirement, when we're living off savings, how should we think about tithing? Do we give 10% of what the nest egg produces? After caring for my mom and losing my job, I'm nearly 50, $15,000 in debt, facing eviction, and starting over with no savings. What should I prioritize first? My wife and I are newly married and plan to live full-time in an RV for ministry. We'll live on my retirement income and use the remainder for spending. Should we manage that with cash, debit, or credit?

    Lunchbox claims that Amy owes someone an apology over what she recently accused someone of. We discuss the latest on Nancy Guthrie and the internet theories that we’ve seen circulating online. A listener calls in to tell us how Lunchbox got duped when talking about jury duty. Amy talked about a country artist who has a shrine of herself in her home. We all share what in our homes would give it away that we lived there. Eddie has the best time to buy gas to get the cheapest price. Lunchbox shared a company that held its annual party and placed the vast sum of cash on 800 tables. Would we take $10 million dollars right now if it meant we had to cut 10 years off our life? Lunchbox wants to make a pit stop in Key West, FL and tries to get us all on board on his creepy idea.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
