What happens when you stop building your real estate business the way everyone tells you to and start building it around who you really are? On this episode, JD Reese shares how he rebuilt from that exact moment and what came next. He takes us inside Genuine Real Estate Group, one of the most consistent teams in Southern Utah, where 60 listings stay active and under contract, and agent turnover is nearly zero. He breaks down how they keep that kind of performance steady without burning out. From pricing strategy and emotional sellers to tracking accountability and team culture, JD gets into the decisions that drive results. “You've got to be the best house and the best offering in the neighborhood,” he says. But that's just the beginning. JD also unpacks how his team uses tools like Sisu's new product “Battr”, to track every step of the lead journey, flag breakdowns, and stay focused on what actually moves the needle. “It's not about more leads. It's about calling fewer leads more.” No outbound recruiting. No scripts. Just structure, speed, and real coaching. “If you're not converting anything into your name, your database is too small.” You'll hear how they onboard new agents, use mentorship to drive growth, and create space for real conversations instead of surface-level tactics. Top Takeaways: (1:56) Listings sitting longer & seller strategy (3:22) Pricing strategy that actually works (7:26) Impact of interest rates dropping to 5% (10:31) Lead gen strategy for every listing (11:26) Sisu's new product “Battr” (12:29) Tracking lead life from start to close (18:24) Lead spending vs. accountability (20:45) Training agents without scripts (23:53) Using Sisu dashboards to coach agents (28:05) Picky recruiting & low team turnover (31:05) Builder partnerships through lead strategy (33:58) Real estate and Porsche passions (36:47) The 1% rule for long-term growth If you're trying to build a business that lasts and lead in a market where most are pulling back, this one's worth your time.

Send me a message Why Your Marketing Isn't Attracting Sellers... and What to Do that WILL Attract ListingsIf you want listings, you need sellers. And if you want sellers, you need to stop putting out marketing & social content that only attracts buyers. In this episode, I'm breaking down the 3 types of content that actually attract sellers, and why most of the stuff you're currently posting isn't even on their radar.Most agents are unknowingly speaking the wrong language to get listings. You're putting out “marketing,” but sellers don't see themselves in it—so they scroll right past. Today, we fix that.I'll show you how to:Create “What's My Home Worth?” content that gets sellers curious enough to raise their handUse behind-the-scenes marketing to position yourself as the local expertTell seller-focused stories that do the heavy lifting for you and make them say “I want that agent”Plus, I share the NAR stat every agent needs to know about how sellers actually choose their Realtor. (Spoiler: it's not the agent with the prettiest logo, or the most Google reviews.)If you've been wondering why you're getting plenty of buyer leads but crickets from homeowners, this is your episode. Let's fix it.***********************RESOURCES :Massive Agent Business Accelerator: 12 Week Program to go from stressed out solo agent, to thriving business owner making more, and working less.

Life & Listings: Balancing Real Estate, Scaling Your Future w/ Jennifer Staats
If you're ready to move from feeling busy to being truly efficient in your real estate business, don't miss the latest solo episode of the Life and Listings podcast with Jennifer Staats. In this edition, Jennifer dives into the importance of workflows that scale—breaking down how simple checklists can transform your daily operations into consistent, replicable systems that support growth, accountability, and better client service. Whether you're a solo agent or leading a growing team, you'll walk away with practical tips and a free downloadable playbook to get started. Hit that play button now and take the first step toward building a scalable, stress-free business! “A scalable workflow, to me, means something that you can replicate every single time, and it's the exact same, because then I'm going to tell you how to improve those workflows in the in the future.” Key takeaways: Start Small to Scale Smart: Effective workflows begin with simple checklists. Even solo agents can document their tasks step-by-step to build consistency and efficiency, forming the foundation for scalable systems. Workflows Enhance Consistency and Reputation: Clear workflows ensure that every client and transaction receives the same level of service, which strengthens your brand, improves referrals, and reduces errors or missed steps. Document Before You Delegate: Delegation isn't scalable unless tasks are well-documented. You can't expect a VA or team member to perform reliably without clear instructions—automated, documented workflows make this possible. Define Roles, Not People: Build workflows around roles (e.g., marketer, transaction coordinator), not individuals. This approach allows for seamless delegation, onboarding, and adjustments as your team grows. Continuously Improve Your Systems: Workflows should be treated as living, breathing documents. Regularly review and refine them based on feedback, market changes, or new tools and insights to keep your business efficient and evolving.
