Your listing appointment conversion rate is either building your income or quietly destroying it. Most agents have no idea which one it is.The average agent goes on 100 appointments and takes 20 listings. I go on 100 and take 85. That gap is not talent. It is not market conditions. It is not your CMA or your photography or how many years you have been in the business. It is skill. Specifically, it is seven skills that almost nobody in this industry is actually practicing.Here is what I cover in this session:✅ Why your listing presentation skills are the single biggest lever on your income and why good service has nothing to do with winning the listing✅ The three stages of every listing presentation strategy that separates agents taking 20 listings from agents taking 85✅ The exact real estate scripts for listings you need across all seven seller conversations, from setting the appointment through handling price objections and presenting low offers✅ Why most agents are winging it and how to build a listing presentation close that works even when sellers push back on commission and contract length✅ The math that proves how to take more listings is a skills problem, not a leads problem, and what to do about it starting this weekI sold 2,000 homes. 80% from listings. 100 deals a year for 10 consecutive years. I built a real estate coaching company that Housing Wire named one of the top 25 in the country. I am not theorizing. I am reporting what works and showing you the system.If your income is not where it should be, your listing appointment conversion rate is the first place to look. Watch this.

What happens to mortgage rates if the Iran conflict ends? In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke breaks down new analysis from Logan Mohtashami at HousingWire on the relationship between geopolitical events, inflation, bond yields, and mortgage rates. While easing tensions in the Middle East have helped calm oil markets, mortgage rates remain elevated as inflation stays stubbornly high and Federal Reserve officials take a more hawkish stance. Kathy explains why mortgage spreads have helped prevent rates from moving even higher, what Logan's mortgage rate forecast means for the housing market, and why real estate investors should pay close attention to inflation and Treasury yields. You'll also hear why housing demand has remained resilient despite higher borrowing costs and what could be needed for mortgage rates to move lower. If you're watching the housing market, mortgage rates, or the Federal Reserve's next move, this is an update you won't want to miss.

The Great Pretense: A Tour Through the Boneyard of the CIA's War for Drugs offers readers a journey to the boneyards of the CIA's “war for drugs” in Latin America and beyond, with all of its complexities and moral dilemmas. Conroy's book, part memoir and part exposé and thriller, is based on Conroy's lived experience over decades of reporting on national security and the illegal drug trade. It emphasizes the vital role of authentic journalism in a landscape marked with manipulation and deceit by powerful entities, such as the CIA. The book highlights the challenges of investigating the intricate relationship between intelligence operations, law enforcers and narco-traffickers. The book also reveals, with evidence, how the CIA operates in the drug war — against other U.S. agencies, or with them, and in ignoring or even enabling cartel drug trafficking — all in pursuit of intelligence-gathering and other opaque national security goals. Conroy's 40-year journalism career has focused heavily on investigative reporting — as an editor-in-chief, managing editor and reporter. His work has been published online and in print for a range of publications, including daily newspapers; alternative and business weeklies; magazines; and national online publications, such as the Daily Beast, Narco News and HousingWire. He also have appeared in investigative documentaries aired by major networks, including the BBC, CNBC, the History Channel, Prime Video and Al Jazeera-Europe. CIA assets and spies must be adept at carrying out illegal deeds overseas and then covering their tracks. That's because the CIA is breaking laws in any foreign nation in which it conducts espionage or other covert operations. CIA brass, by contrast, must concoct a public image and press narrative that conceals or deflects attention from that underlying illegal clandestine reality. It's spy culture. It keeps the gears of “The Great Pretense” in motion.
