Podcasts about listings

Amazon's new product title policy isn't just for sellers, it's a mandate for their own listings too. I was reading an EcommerceBytes article earlier, and it hit me. Amazon is cleaning house, and they're starting with themselves. This tells me that the platform is serious about quality and compliance, and you should be too. I've seen this pattern play out across multiple brands in our portfolio. One home goods brand was doing solid volume until their keyword-stuffed titles got flagged. It's a wake-up call. Audit every title in your catalog against Amazon's category-specific style guide. It's not glamorous, but it's essential. If you're worried about compliance, you're not alone. These issues hide in plain sight. Let's tackle them together on The High Voltage Business Builders Podcast. Implement with us.

What if some of your best real estate opportunities aren't traditional leads—they're people with problems you can actually solve?In this solo episode, Chris shares how he went from making $25,000 a year in ministry to finding his first real estate deals by literally knocking on the doors of homeowners facing foreclosure. He explains how massive imperfect action helped him get started, why distressed properties became a foundation of his real estate business, and how agents can apply the same principles today.Chris breaks down two major sources of opportunity: building deep referral relationships with professionals like estate attorneys, financial planners, divorce attorneys, and CPAs, and using curated data to identify homeowners who may be more likely to need real estate help. He also explains why better lists, better tools, and consistent follow-up can dramatically improve the effectiveness of your prospecting.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why massive imperfect action can beat waiting until you know exactly what you're doing How distressed-property opportunities helped Chris build his real estate business How to build referral relationships with estate attorneys, financial planners, divorce attorneys, and CPAs How curated data can help you “hunt where the ducks are” instead of blindly cold callingHow to prioritize an existing database based on which contacts are most likely to sell The simple combination Chris recommends: referral partners + targeted data + working the list consistentlyConnect with Chris:Instagram: @craddrockFacebook: Chris Craddock BusinessRESOURCES: 

In this Australian Property Podcast episode, Pete Wargent and Chris Bates unpack a market that still looks soft on the surface but may be opening a sharper decision window for buyers, upgraders and long-term investors. They explore how the post-Budget reset is changing behaviour on the ground, from investors stepping back and refinancers scrambling to lock in older valuations, to the early signs of more urgency ahead of the spring selling season. Pete and Chris discuss why Sydney and Melbourne may now offer some of the best buying conditions seen in years, why quality owner-occupier stock could tighten again quickly, and why the real story is not just falling prices but shifting competition. The conversation also digs into the second-order effects of policy change. They look at rental pressure, investor hotspots, rezoning and density in Sydney, and the practical ways households may rethink capital allocation if negative gearing and capital gains tax settings keep pushing people away from established property. In the listener Q&A, they tackle whether selling down a large portfolio to buy a premium Sydney family home is smart capital recycling, and how the six-year CGT rule can change the tax treatment of an old and new home. If you want a practical read on where fear is building, where opportunity may be opening and what to watch next, this is a timely episode to queue up.

Amazon sellers have spent years optimizing for keywords and traditional search. That is still important, but the way customers discover products on Amazon is changing quickly. In this episode of The Opportunity Podcast, we sit down with Jon Tilley, founder of ZonGuru, to unpack Amazon's latest AI developments and what they mean for sellers. Amazon has moved away from Rufus and is doubling down on Alexa for Shopping, alongside its newer Cosmo algorithm. Instead of simply returning search results, Amazon can now use conversations, customer profiles, product data, and recommendations to help shoppers make decisions. For sellers, this creates a new layer of optimization. We discuss why keywords still matter, but why sellers also need to think about the questions customers ask, how their products are used, who they are best suited for, and which products they complement. Jon also explains why simply asking ChatGPT or Claude to rewrite a listing is not enough, how first-party Amazon data can improve AI optimization, and why sellers need to balance AI readability with human conversion. We also look at the wider implications of AI for Amazon sellers, agencies, and omnichannel growth. If you want to understand where Amazon is heading and how to adapt your business before these changes become mainstream, this episode is worth a listen. Topics Discussed in this episode: 04:11 - Why Amazon is doubling down on Alexa and what that means for sellers 08:57 - Keywords vs. conversational search  14:48 - How to maximize your AI visibility on Amazon 17:43 - Understanding Cosmo's product knowledge graph  25:19 - The biggest AI optimization mistakes sellers make  27:52 - The opportunities AI unlocks for Amazon sellers 31:59 - How quickly AI optimization can impact performance  38:21 - How Amazon sellers are using AI beyond product discovery  41:00 - AI, agencies, and the changing service model  43:33 - Is AI killing agencies or helping them thrive?

Two-thirds of holiday shoppers are using AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity to find and compare products, bypassing traditional search bars. Neil Twa dives into why your Amazon listings might be invisible to this massive audience and what you can do about it. After reading a Retaildive article, Neil was struck by the fact that 67% of shoppers have already adopted AI for their purchasing decisions. He shares a real-world example from a home goods brand that, despite having a strong product and reviews, is missing out on visibility. Neil outlines three critical moves to make before Black Friday, applicable whether you're making $5,000 or $500,000 a month. These steps are crucial for ensuring your listings are optimized for AI discovery. If you're realizing your listings need to work harder across more platforms than just Amazon, this episode is a must-listen. Ready to implement with us?

Hi, I'm Connor with Honor - message me here!Data drives real estate. If you are working off outdated numbers, you do not understand the market you are actually standing in. Here are today's real Santa Clarita Valley numbers, pulled straight from the CRMLS feed plugged into SantaClaritaOpenHouses.com.TODAY'S SCV NUMBERS, AUGUST 12 2026• 825 active listings, covering single family residences, condos, and townhomes• 176 properties currently in escrow• 39 closed sales in the last 7 days• Roughly 30% of current escrows will fall out, and that is normal, not a crisis• Distressed property (short sales, foreclosures, bank owned) is only 1 to 2% of this marketWHAT ELSE IS IN THIS EPISODECondo or townhome, the difference people always ask about. A condominium is typically a single level, no upstairs or downstairs, usually sharing walls and ceilings with neighboring units. A townhome is typically multiple stories. Ground floor is easier if stairs are a problem. Top floor means nobody walking above you, but you are carrying groceries up. On both, check the parking configuration carefully. Some units have direct garage access into the home, some open onto a common pathway, and some Vista del Canyon units in Canyon Country have a private yard between the garage and your door. Diamond Head in Stevenson Ranch is another layout worth walking before you decide.Why about 30% of escrows fall out. People hear that number and assume the market is in trouble. It is not. Buyers get cold feet. Somebody hears something on the news. A relative intervenes. It is spread across the board rather than concentrated in property condition, and it is a normal feature of this market rather than a warning sign.Everybody becomes an expert. The moment you start thinking about buying or selling, every person in your life turns into a real estate genius. Your coworker practically stole his house. Your relative knows a guy. My actual advice is do not dismiss them and do not obey them either. Take it to your agent and ask. If Stan at work bought a short sale under market three years ago, ask what the market was doing then and whether that play still exists today. Usually it does not, because distressed inventory is 1 to 2% and most of it gets handled before it ever reaches the open market.The warning nobody else gives you. If you use the big online portals to find out what your home is worth, understand the trade you are making. Whatever information you hand those systems gets sold to the highest bidder, and the buyers are mostly agents and lenders who want your personal private information.SEE THE DATA YOURSELF, FREEI put 11 years of sold data on my site so you do not have to guess:https://santaclaritaopenhouses.comWATCH THE VIDEOhttps://youtu.be/WBr3jrlJHgoTHINKING ABOUT SELLING?I work sellers-only, full-service representation.

Everybody says it's a buyer's market. But is it actually a buyer's market where you sell real estate? Nationally, buyers have gained leverage in 2026. Inventory is higher, homes are sitting longer, seller concessions are becoming more common, and more sellers are reducing their prices. But national averages are not enough to win a listing appointment. In this episode, Tim and Julie Harris explain how real estate agents can determine whether their own market—and their individual micromarkets—actually favors buyers or sellers. They break down months of supply, buyer leverage, seller concessions, price reductions, the cost of waiting, pricing strategy, and why knowing your local numbers can separate you from agents simply repeating national housing headlines. You'll learn how months of supply helps determine market leverage, why buyers are successfully negotiating more concessions, why overpricing has become increasingly dangerous for listing agents, how agents can handle sellers who want an unrealistic price, and why zip code, price range, property type, neighborhood, and even individual streets can behave completely differently from national averages. You'll also hear why information alone is no longer enough. AI can produce information instantly. The career advantage belongs to agents who can interpret market data, communicate it clearly, and help buyers and sellers make confident decisions. If you want more listings and a more predictable real estate business in 2026, know your market cold.

Put them together and you get the clearest signal yet on where vacation rentals are headed. Tim Rosolio is VP of Vacation Rental Partnerships at Expedia Group, where he leads the supply and host side of Vrbo. He's also a Vrbo host himself. In his return to Behind the Stays, Tim and Zach get into what that survey actually revealed — and it wasn't what the industry has been selling. Quality isn't luxury. It isn't the private chef or the infinity pool. It's accurate photos, verified reviews, a fully stocked shelf, and linens and silverware worth touching. 81% of guests said they'd pay more for a stay they can trust to be consistent. Then there are the sponsored listings landing this summer — a pay-only-if-you-book model that lets hosts buy visibility without gaming the algorithm. Tim explains how it works, why bad operators won't be allowed in, and where it goes across Expedia next. The conversation also covers the "coach up or coach out" program behind the purge, why the future of discovery is personalization instead of a star-rating system nobody trusts, expanded distribution across Expedia's 70,000-business B2B network, and the one fear keeping every VRM up at night: owner retention in a market where 2022 numbers aren't coming back.

Maya Kadouri gets rental inquiries every couple of days on her sales listings. Not from buyers. From potential tenants. Trophy $10M+ owners asking "would the seller be open to just renting it?" That's what a rental exhaustion feeding frenzy looks like in Manhattan's luxury market in mid-2026. And it's just one of the signals Maya is seeing that the market is shifting under everyone's feet. "It's not about the number. It's about the trust. If you didn't do the early work of establishing that, the hard conversations later are a lot harder." Noah Rosenblatt and John Walkup sit down with Maya Kadouri, Douglas Elliman broker, top 3% at Elliman, 15-year veteran with over $2 billion in career residential sales, and former Director of Sales at The Belnord (yes, the "Only Murders in the Building" building). We get into the market shift she's seeing right now, how the pied-à-terre tax is quietly reshaping buyer behavior, the way AI is changing every consumer conversation, and the origin story that shaped her entire approach. What you'll learn: The market just shifted from trophy to $2-6M. Q1 and Q2 were carried by $10M+ apartments. The latest Olshan Report: 20 of 29 sales under $6M, only ONE trophy sale recorded. Maya's read on what's driving it. Luxury rental exhaustion is now real. Tenant inquiries on sales listings every couple of days. Prices running way above market. A feeding frenzy at the top of the market that mirrors what's been happening in the rental market all year. The pied-à-terre tax is changing behavior three ways. Some buyers pause their search. Some pull out of active deals. Some pivot to under $5M to sit below the threshold. The industry is still absorbing the two-phase rollout. Foreign buyers now show up with ChatGPT comp reports. The AI-vs-broker challenge is real, especially with international buyers. Maya's approach: use AI to check what buyers are hearing, then advise around what the model misses. It's an assistant, not a replacement. How Maya actually wins listings. Not the number. Not the marketing plan. Trust. Established early. So when the hard price conversation comes, and it always does, the seller takes your lead. The origin story that shaped everything. Maya got into real estate because she had a bad experience with a lender and thought consumers deserved a better-informed, more transparent advisor. That framing runs through her entire practice. The Only Murders in the Building effect. As former Director of Sales at The Belnord, Maya saw the show pull young buyers into pre-war NYC. Kids watching Hulu were the ones telling their parents to book showings. Ties directly into the co-op market comeback. The pre-war co-op comeback is happening. The luxury co-op market recently outpaced luxury condos. Value, inventory tightness, and pre-war aesthetic appeal are rotating this segment back to relevance.

If your listings are sitting on the market, the problem may not be the market. Real estate coach and brokerage leader Mike Bernier joins James Dwiggins to discuss why today's listings aren't selling, how agents can have better pricing conversations with sellers, and the repeatable habits that separate top producers from everyone else. They also dive into fiduciary duty, private listings, and why consistency, not shiny objects, is still the key to long-term success.

What if the deal you just walked away from was actually winnable? In this episode I sit down with Chris Watters, founder of Watters International Realty in Austin, Texas, to unpack the specific tools and tactics his team uses to convert more leads, win more listings, and build a business that runs without the owner doing everything.Chris built an enterprise-level real estate operation in one of the most competitive and volatile markets in the country. When Austin's transaction volume dropped 50% from its peak, his team doubled revenue in a single month, without spending a single additional dollar on lead generation. This episode is full of the kind of specifics you can actually do something with.Inside this episode:The $50,000 make-ready fund that removes the objection most agents never get past, and the partner that makes it available to any agent in the countryHow to build a Black Book of high-quality buyers using cash transaction data hiding in plain sight inside the MLSThe AI coaching tool that took his listing conversion rate from 40% to 53% and his lead-to-appointment ratio from 15-to-1 to 10-to-1 in 90 daysThe enterprise model that reduces a listing agent's job to exactly three activities, and hands everything else to someone or something elseThe anonymous traffic tool that grew his monthly database additions by 15x and why it costs less than a single Zillow leadWant to connect with Chris?Follow Chris on Instagram: @christopherwattersVisit his website: https://christopherwatters.comIf you are leaving leads on the table, losing listings to friction, or just grinding harder than your results justify, this episode will show you what a different model looks like.

Starting a real estate business without a network, a sphere of influence, or an established client base can feel overwhelming, but REDX Prospector of the Year (2026), Grayson Warren, proves it's possible with the right mindset and consistent action. In this episode of the REDX Podcast, Grayson shares how he entered the Oklahoma City market as a brand-new agent in early 2024 after transitioning from the business world. Rather than relying on referrals, he committed to prospecting from day one, using REDX to build conversations with property owners and create a business from scratch.Throughout the episode, Grayson explains why he intentionally focused on listings instead of buyers, how he researched prospecting platforms before choosing REDX, and the daily systems that helped him stay organized and consistent. He shares the story of calling one FSBO owner 18 times before earning his very first listing, why follow-up and persistence continue to generate opportunities years later, and how that first client eventually came back to trust him with another home sale. Grayson also discusses building a database of more than 200,000 property records, making over 150,000 calls in a single year, leveraging geo-farming and neighborhood outreach, and why authentic conversations always outperform shortcuts. Whether you're a brand-new agent starting with no sphere or an experienced professional looking to improve your prospecting systems, this episode offers practical strategies for creating consistent, long-term growth.Here's What You'll Discover in This Episode...• Why starting without a sphere doesn't have to limit your success.• How Grayson built his business by focusing on conversations with property owners from day one.• What convinced him to choose REDX after researching multiple prospecting platforms.• Why consistency over time produces better results than chasing shortcuts.• How calling one FSBO owner 18 times led to his very first listing.• What Grayson learned about turning scripts into natural conversations.• How geo-farming and organized follow-up create long-term prospecting opportunities.• Why building relationships matters more than chasing immediate transactions.• How persistence transformed one small listing into future high-value referrals.• What daily prospecting habits continue to fuel Grayson's growing business.JUMP TO THESE TOPICS01:58 –

Most real estate agents are not failing at open houses because the strategy is outdated. They are failing because they show up without a system. The real opportunity begins before the doors open and continues after the last visitor leaves. In this episode, Tim and Julie Harris explain the pre-open, during-open, and post-open system they have taught agents for more than 20 years. They break down how to select the right property, why move-up homes can create both buyer and seller opportunities, and how an organized open house plan can strengthen your listing presentation. You will learn how to find an open house when you do not have listings of your own, how to use directional signs and neighborhood door-knocking to generate conversations, and how to identify nearby FSBO and expired listing opportunities. You will also learn why agents should prepare alternative properties before the event, how to convert visitors into future appointments, and why same-day follow-up is critical. Open houses are not passive events. They are structured lead-generation opportunities for agents willing to prepare, communicate, and execute at a high level. This is the kind of practical coaching and career development serious agents receive through Tim and Julie Harris, eXp Realty, and Libertas.

Clint Flowers has done hundreds of land deals across Alabama. He has never seen anything like what happened in Baldwin County. The transaction was straightforward on paper: 4,500 acres of former paper company land, largely un-zoned, sold to a buyer who planned to develop it for solar energy supporting a data center. The deal had been public for years, had gone through every established approval process, and was well into contract when a sudden political push attempted to retroactively rezone the property to kill it. Clint, one of the top land agents in the country and an owner at National Land Realty, wrote a widely circulated public piece about it. Not to defend solar. Not to advocate for data centers. To defend the right of a landowner to sell to a willing, legal buyer without having the rules changed underneath him after the fact. This conversation covers what actually happened, why retroactive zoning is a threat to every landowner regardless of what they plan to do with their property, and how the same precedent could be used against a family farm, a conservation easement, a commercial rezoning, or any other use someone decides to oppose loudly enough. Clint also tells the story of a neighboring landowner who lost millions because residents decided they liked looking at his farmland from their windows. If you own land anywhere in the country, this episode is about something that could happen to you.   Talk to Clint Flowers https://nationalland.com/real-estate-agent/clint-flowers   Visit National Land Realty to see our Listings!  https://nationalland.com

In this episode of the REDX Podcast, Tyler Fenn and Kent Brown take listeners behind the philosophy of Listing Academy and explain why they created a training platform focused on practical implementation rather than inspirational speeches. Drawing on decades of combined experience in real estate, coaching, prospecting, and sales leadership, they discuss the gaps they saw in traditional real estate education and how agents can bridge those gaps with repeatable systems and proven processes.Throughout the conversation, Tyler and Kent break down the complete listing operating system they teach inside Listing Academy, from generating conversations and capturing leads with context to nurturing relationships, converting appointments into listings, and continuously optimizing every step of the process.

They also share actionable marketing strategies, explain the importance of providing value throughout the buyer's journey, and highlight the resources available inside Listing Academy, including weekly live training, editable templates, scripts, marketing campaigns, and AI tools. Whether you're a new agent building your first systems or an experienced professional looking to create a more scalable listing business, this episode provides practical frameworks that can immediately improve your consistency and results.Here's What You'll Discover in This Episode...• Why tactical training creates better results than motivation alone.• How documenting systems helps eliminate missed opportunities and create consistency.• What the five-stage Listing Operating System looks like from lead generation to optimization.• Why the work before a listing appointment often determines whether you win the listing.• How to use CRM automation and AI to streamline repetitive business tasks.• Why nurturing contacts based on their buying journey creates stronger relationships.• How weekly marketing content keeps agents top of mind with their database.• What separates successful listing agents from those who operate reactively.• Why step-by-step implementation leads to lasting business growth.• How Listing Academy provides practical resources agents can immediately put into action.JUMP TO THESE TOPICS00:00 –

Winning the listing is only the beginning. The agents who build long-term businesses aren't the ones with the flashiest marketing—they're the ones who communicate with sellers before problems become frustrations. In this episode, Tim and Julie Harris break down why so many listings expire unnecessarily and why poor communication—not poor marketing—is often the real reason sellers fire their agents. You'll discover the 180-Day Seller Communication Plan, a structured approach that helps agents set expectations, navigate price reductions professionally, reduce seller anxiety, and create clients who return again and again. The conversation also explores why automated drip campaigns are becoming less effective, how AI is changing client expectations, and why authentic conversations are becoming one of the most valuable skills in real estate. Whether you're a new agent building your listing business or a veteran looking to improve client retention, this episode provides practical strategies you can implement immediately to keep more listings, generate more referrals, and create a stronger business heading into the second half of 2026.

How do you turn what feels like an “ordinary” property into a brand that guests connect with, remember, and actively choose over everyone else's? In this episode, I'm joined by branding and marketing strategist Ali Haney. We're unpacking how she transitioned from a long-term rental disaster into remote short-term rental management across multiple states, eventually blending her photography background with her hospitality experience to help hosts build true brand equity.We talk about:Flipping perceived property weaknesses into powerful market differentiators, like turning a Gatlinburg cabin's lack of internet into an intentional, off-the-grid romantic reset complete with analog experiences.Building a foundational brand strategy from scratch by defining core messaging pillars, identifying a hyper-specific guest avatar, and establishing values that serve as concrete criteria for hiring and firing your team.Utilizing ChatGPT and AirDNA as a market research "cheat code" to analyze competitor specs, summarize guest review trends, and spot high-impact amenities missing in your local market.Designing property features around guest origin data, such as installing an EV charger at a Catskills rental specifically to attract higher-income, eco-conscious travelers driving up from the city.Executing a deep property rebrand that goes beyond a logo tweak, using your brand strategy as a daily filter for social content, listing updates, and team briefs to eliminate decision fatigue.Ali pulls back the curtain on how to use your brand strategy as the literal backbone of your guest experience and long-term business scaling. You'll hear how to shift your mindset to view marketing as structured testing and learning rather than a verdict on your worth, allowing you to "do it scared" and out-position your competition.If you are a short-term rental / Airbnb host wondering how to stop competing on price alone and start engineering an unforgettable hospitality brand that commands premium rates, this conversation is your blueprint. Get ready to learn how to drop perfectionism and start leading your life and business with intention.HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY POINTS:[01:07] A short introduction about our guest Ali Haney, and how she got into the world of short-term rentals[03:12] Ali talks about using branding strategy to move beyond photography and create marketing that connects with ideal guests [06:50] Ali explains how defining a property's personality and turning perceived limitations into unique selling points creates a memorable brand that attracts the right guests [09:32] How identifying a property's natural differentiators helps build a stronger and more memorable brand[10:49] Ali shares how operators can decide between separate property brands or a unified brand strategy when managing multiple listings across different markets[12:39] Ali outlines portfolio-level values as the foundation for aligning multiple property brands while preserving each listing's individuality [15:40] Ali defines brand strategy as the foundational framework that aligns mission, guest targeting, differentiation, and messaging to guide every part of a short-term rental business[21:14] How the core value of excellence creates clear operational boundaries and simplifies decision-making across hospitality and property management[24:33] Ali highlights branding as a profit-driven strategy that turns one-time OTA guests into repeat direct bookings while improving long-term ROI[27:51] Ali frames rebranding as a full strategic reset that goes beyond visuals to ensure alignment between guest targeting, design, and business goals [30:16] Ali distinguishes between legacy brands and STR assets while outlining when rebranding makes sense and how to use guest data to guide the decision [32:52] How competitor and review analysis can uncover actionable differentiators that directly shape STR brand strategy and guest experience design[34:56] Ali reframes STR marketing as a data-driven cycle of testing and learning, separating performance outcomes from personal identity to support better decision-making[37:31] Ali shares how short-term rental owners can begin building a brand strategy by using existing performance data and evaluating properties through a differentiation-first mindset[40:07] The lightning round Golden Nuggets:“You're giving the house essentially a personality, so that people can start to feel like they know that property before they even step foot into it.”“We took what she thought was a weakness and instead tailored the entire property's brand and made it their superpower.”“If we don't have a strategy that we want to enact within our business and we just build pretty things on top of it, it's probably going to fall down at some point.”“Create an experience that people want to return to, because it's much easier to nurture a client or a guest that already trusts you, versus having to consistently acquire new ones.”“If we just take a small step each and every day, and we do that scared, that is still a huge amount of progress over six months time, nine months time, 12 months time.”Let's Connect: Website : https://brandandmarket.co/Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/brandandmarket.co/Enjoyed the show?

Ryan Schroeter has been selling land in Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota for nearly 30 years. He estimates that 90 percent of the sellers he talks to are dealing with some version of the same situation: land that is jointly owned, inherited, or headed toward a forced sale because life got in the way. In this conversation, he breaks down everything that can go sideways when multiple people own the same piece of ground, and more importantly, how to keep it from happening. Ryan covers the difference between joint tenancy and tenants in common, why the latter can quietly multiply your ownership partners over generations without anyone realizing it, and why inherited land is essentially a forced partnership that families never agreed to. He explains why getting a power of attorney before you list is one of the most important things a multi-owner group can do, walks through a real transaction that required 16 signatures at every decision point, and lays out the tax tools available when a sale finally happens, including step-up in basis, 1031 exchanges, and Delaware Statutory Trusts. His closing advice is short: get a plan, get it in writing, and remember that it is always easier to divide up money than it is to divide up acres.

Your script isn't the problem. Your desperation is. Every agent calling expired listings is using some version of the same words. What separates the ones who get appointments from the ones who get hung up on has nothing to do with the script itself. It has everything to do with whether the seller can feel you needing something from them before you even finish your first sentence. That feeling leaks. It leaks through your tone, your rate of speech, your word choice. And sellers feel it like cheap cologne.These are real estate scripts that work not because the words are magic but because the person delivering them is completely unattached to the outcome. That is the thing nobody teaches. That is what you are going to learn here.✅ The word-for-word expired listing role play that gets sellers talking instead of hanging up✅ How to use real estate tonality to project hope and certainty instead of commission breath✅ The exact moment to ask permission to close and why silence after that question is your most powerful tool✅ How to handle an aggressive seller using the bull riding framework so the first 15 seconds stop costing you listings✅ How to call expired listings without sounding like every other agent who called that morning✅ The real estate cold calling scripts approach that turns seller complaints about their last agent into your appointment✅ Listing agent prospecting principles that apply whether you are calling expireds, probates, or any motivated seller✅ How to handle expired listing objections including the spouse objection, the forever no, and the market blame✅ Why how to close expired listings has less to do with your close and more to do with everything that came before itThe first year I sold real estate I made $13,000. The year I committed to the invisible work nobody was Listening, I became the number one listing agent prospecting in a market of 20,000 agents. 

AI will not replace real estate agents. But it will expose agents who have no real value beyond data, comps, and reports. In this episode, Tim and Julie Harris answer listener questions about AI, real estate teams, income ceilings, mid-year mindset, and what serious agents need to do now to stay relevant in the 2026 market. You will learn why AI makes human contact more valuable, not less, and why agents who rely only on analytical skills are vulnerable. Tim and Julie also break down why many real estate teams are no longer profitable, how AI changes staffing and delegation, and why every team needs more rowers and fewer riders. This episode also goes deeper into why agents get stuck at the same level year after year. The real issue is often not tactics. It is mindset, exposure, environment, and the willingness to think bigger. For agents who want more listings, better systems, and a stronger career path, this is exactly the kind of blunt coaching conversation that matters.

The Industry Relations Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! Overview Rob and Greg kick off with some World Cup talk before diving into the Zillow vs. Compass preliminary injunction hearing, covering media coverage (Real Estate News, Inman, Nick Alfenkamp's Substack), key testimony from Errol Samuelson on listing freshness, and cross-examination details involving Robert Reffkin and MRED. They debate whether Zillow "rules the industry" or whether the MLS cooperative model still holds, unpack what legitimate competition looks like in real estate, and explore what Compass's strategy should be going forward — doubling down on agents vs. positioning against AI and big tech. The episode closes with a wide-ranging, contentious debate on whether private/exclusive listings carry fair housing implications tied to America's history of housing discrimination. Key Takeaways Coverage of the Zillow vs. Compass hearing came primarily from Real Estate News, Inman (AJ Trace), and Nick Alfenkamp's Substack; Zillow reportedly covered Alfenkamp's travel expenses to the trial. Errol Samuelson testified that a new listing gets significantly more views on its first day than by day five, framing the core dispute as who gets to benefit from "fresh" listings — the listing broker/MLS cooperative or the largest portal (Zillow). Reporting suggested Robert Reffkin encouraged Bright MLS to follow MRED's example and reacted negatively when Bright chose to stay neutral; MRED had reportedly run private listing networks for a decade before Compass became a major player there. Rob argues MLS rules were broken and Zillow is seeking a legal exemption; Greg counters that broker cooperatives generally avoid side deals with MLSs to preserve a level playing field. A ruling from the judge is expected around the end of the month. Rob and Greg discuss Compass strategy options: positioning as a tech company (rejected by Wall Street), inventory/listing differentiation (private listings), and scaling via agent count (the Anywhere deal). Greg suggests Compass should double down on agent quality/reputation and buyer-demand data rather than "cheat codes" like exclusive inventory. They debate potential enemies for a Compass marketing strategy — NAR, Zillow, or AI/big tech broadly — with Rob arguing consumer trust in tech companies has shifted negatively in recent years. Extended debate on whether competing on exclusive inventory is illegitimate specifically in real estate (vs. law, banking, etc.), including whether fair housing history and housing discrimination sensitivities explain the industry's resistance to private listings.

Most real estate agents do not lose because there is no opportunity. They lose because their standards disappear when prospecting gets uncomfortable. In this episode, Tim and Julie Harris reveal the four daily habits that separate agents who thrive through market changes from the agents who stall, struggle, or leave the business. You will learn why proactive lead generation must remain your top priority, how to use daily database conversations to create more referrals and listings, why scripts make you more professional, and how financial discipline protects your business during slower months. Tim and Julie also explain why success comes from helping more people solve real problems, not from chasing shortcuts, waiting for the perfect market, or hoping social media creates a career for you. What you'll learn includes how to set a daily Hour of Power, why five rejections per day can move your business forward, how to speak with your past clients and center of influence consistently, how to stop winging listing and buyer conversations, and how to avoid becoming Realtor rich but financially unprepared.

This week, we're talking about two issues that could impact homeowners and realtors in very different ways. First, with extreme heat becoming a serious concern, we break down how homeowners can protect their house, keep their AC unit running efficiently, and avoid expensive repairs during the hottest days of the year.Then, we dive into the big real estate tech question: Will Google Listings help or hurt realtors? Could it create more exposure and opportunity, or will it become another platform trying to control the consumer search experience? We discuss what agents should be watching, how it could affect lead generation, and whether this is a threat—or just another shift realtors need to adapt to.Submit your questions for Jay and Ryan to answer on the podcast here!

"Wet Blanket" might not immediately bring an idea to mind, but we would argue once you hear our definition at least one listing or client will come to mind immediately.In this conversation, we get into the "wet blanket" listings that quietly wreck your business, your energy, and your life. One of the beautiful things of this business is that you get to choose who you work with. You don't have to take every listing, The ones you say no to make room for the ones you were meant to serve. It comes down to laying out your process clearly upfront so the seller can opt in with full understanding, chasing what Matt calls the "unified yes" (where their yes and your yes are the same yes), and being willing to refer out the ones that aren't in alignment. Done right, you stop dragging comforters through your day and start running a business that actually fuels your life.Join at https://tentenths.coHosted by Matt Bonelli and Garrett Frey, Life at Ten Tenths.#realestate #realtor #realestateagent #realestatecoaching #realestatebusiness #listings #listingagent #realestatesuccess #burnout

Foreclosure filings are rising, but this is not a housing-crash episode. It is a wake-up call for real estate agents who want more listings in 2026. Most agents avoid pre-foreclosure homeowners because they are afraid of the conversation. Meanwhile, wholesalers and investors are already contacting these sellers, often offering one path: sell fast for less. Tim and Julie Harris explain why agents who know how to lead with clarity, dignity, and real options can become the homeowner's best solution. Today's pre-foreclosure sellers are often very different from the sellers of 2008 and 2009. Many have equity. Many simply missed payments because of financial hardship, rising insurance costs, tax issues, or an unexpected life event. They may not realize that listing traditionally, working with the lender, or using a temporary forbearance option could help them avoid foreclosure and preserve more of their equity. In this episode, Tim and Julie break down how to identify the opportunity in your local market, how to compete against wholesalers, what foreclosure data actually means, and why banks often prefer a solution over taking a property back. You'll learn how to approach pre-foreclosure homeowners ethically, position a retail listing as a stronger option than a wholesale offer, communicate with lenders, answer buyer and seller questions about foreclosure headlines, and build a more proactive listing business in the 2026 market. This is exactly the kind of training Libertas agents receive every week: practical conversations, listing lead strategies, and real-world systems built for agents who want a serious career.

More sellers are pulling homes off the market, and most agents are completely missing what that means. While many agents see expired and withdrawn listings as a sign of a difficult market, experienced listing agents recognize them as one of the biggest opportunities available today. In this episode, Tim and Julie Harris explain why listings fail, why sellers fire agents, and how better communication can dramatically increase your chances of keeping listings until they sell. They discuss seller psychology, pricing conversations, listing management, and why prospecting expired listings remains one of the fastest ways to build a predictable real estate business. You'll learn why many agents lose listings unnecessarily, how to position yourself as the professional sellers trust, and why the future belongs to agents with strong communication and prospecting skills rather than those relying entirely on passive lead generation. This is exactly the kind of training serious agents need to thrive in the 2026 market.
