“Secret agents don't get found, and closed mouths don't get fed.” It's more than a catchphrase; it's a survival strategy for today's market.  In an environment where inventory is scarce, clients are cautious, and other agents are everywhere, invisibility will keep you from earning more.  If you aren't proactively creating opportunities, asking for business, and showing up where consumers are, you'll get overlooked every time. That's why differentiation isn't a luxury; it's the core of winning in real estate right now.  And the sharpest ways to position yourself apart from the competition aren't the ones most agents think about.  Social media isn't just a branding tool; it's a live feed of consumer behavior. AI isn't a toy; it can turn one bad listing photo into a winning expired pitch.  Consistency isn't boring; it's the edge that compounds when your competitors give up. So how do you stop being invisible in this market? How can you create a blue ocean strategy for yourself?  I was featured on Knolly Williams' Success With Listings Podcast, and we discussed what it really takes to succeed in real estate today.    Things You'll Learn In This Episode  Social media as real-time consumer intelligence Clients reveal their needs online every day. How can you use their digital footprints to update your CRM, build trust, and stay two steps ahead of competitors? The 2006 wake-up call that changed everything When consumer internet use jumped from 2% to 80%, agents who ignored it disappeared. How do you make sure you're showing up where buyers and sellers are actually looking today? AI as your expired-listing superpower You can use a custom GPT to take one photo, generate staging recommendations, and create “after” images in minutes. How can you turn AI into a unique selling proposition that wins listings your competitors overlook? The adoption gap = your blue ocean Only 15% of adults use ChatGPT, and even fewer pay for Plus. How does this low adoption create a massive competitive edge for the agents who lean in now?   Guest Bio Knolly Williams, known as "The Business Healer," is a bestselling author, international speaker, and real estate broker who specializes in helping homeowners sell smarter and coaching real estate agents to build thriving businesses with less stress.

The fall real estate market is here, and it may be the best season for homebuyers. This week on Real Estate Today, we explore why autumn often gives buyers an edge—from reduced competition to unique opportunities not seen in the spring and summer markets. Discover whether there really is a “perfect week” to buy a home, how to land the lowest mortgage rate, and the latest lending trends shaping today's market. Guests include Danielle Hale, chief economist at Realtor.com; Alexa Kebalo, REALTOR® with eXp Realty; Janet Ramirez, real estate broker with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate; and John Hummel, executive vice president and head of retail home lending at U.S. Bank. Plus, in our Hot or Not segment, we look at two surprising lifestyle trends in communities across America: golf carts cruising the neighborhood and backyard chicken coops.

Investors have a false sense of safety in the stock market A psychologist by the name of Gerald Wilde came up with the term homeostatic years ago and I believe this is totally relevant in today's market. It essentially means that when the environment comes to feel safer, people's behavior becomes riskier. A great example he used was that people will probably drive faster in a big SUV than in a little tin can of a car. Relating it to today's market, investors seem to feel safer because of the long bull market. As the market continues to rise in the longer term, investors' appetite for risk increases. They do not realize that their behavior is risky because they have a false sense that the market will not drop. While the risk of their investments is high, because of the confirmation day after day of the market going up, they don't feel that they are taking any risk. From my perspective, the risk just seems like it continues to climb as people chase quick returns. AS an example, out of 672 launches of new exchange-traded funds so far this year, according to FactSet, 28% are tied to a single stock and 25% are leveraged and at least three seek to double the daily gains or losses of cryptocurrencies! You may not want to believe it, but there is a lot of risk in markets today and this could all end very poorly for those gambling in the market. Ultimately, there are two different types of investors, one is the long-term investor who is investing to build long-term wealth, while the other investor is in it for entertainment and they enjoy the roller coaster ride with the thrill of gains and the pain of the losses. This is a lot like the addiction that gamblers get. The difference is that long-term investors have odds of nearly 100% when it comes to making money over the long-term. Unfortunately, for those who do a lot of trading and take the higher risk road, well the odds of making money over the long term is closer to zero. If you check the prices of your stocks, I would say much more than a few times a year, you're probably in it for the entertainment and will probably make poor emotional decisions when difficult times come, and they will!   IPOs look hot, don't touch them, you'll get burned! So far in 2025 there have been over 150 IPOs which if you're not familiar with the term, it stands for initial public offering. These IPOs have raised about $29 billion so far this year and it is a nice increase in the total number of IPOs when compared to recent years. At this time last year, just 99 IPOs had occurred and in 2023 it was even worse at 76. The exciting news reads “first day gains are averaging 26%, which is the best since 2020”, but it's important to understand that those eye popping first day gains are not based off the first public trade but rather are gains on shares that were issued prior to heading to the market. Unfortunately, you as an investor have little to no chance of getting those shares as you generally see these go to your institutional investors and high net worth clients of Fidelity, Charles Schwab and other big firms. So, if you can't get the shares before they begin trading is it worth riding the bandwagon? I'm going to explain why the answer is a solid no. First off look at an ETF called Renaissance IPO (IPO). Back in 2021 it hit a high around $75 a share and by 2023 it fell to about $25 a share. With the recent frenzy in IPOs, it has climbed back above 50, but that is still a disappointing return to say the least. Also, this means any investors who bought it in 2021 through 2022 are still underwater. There is generally a ton of volatility around these trades considering when companies do an initial public offering, they're only releasing 15 to 20% of their equity many times and they often come with an initial lockup period of around 180 days, which really reduces the number of shares that are trading. Also, make no mistake that the investment bank that is issuing those shares has an obligation to try to get the opening price as high as possible to get full value for their clients. If it's an oversubscribed IPO, the demand will be higher than the supply, and the price will rise. Unfortunately, that means the company left money on the table that they could've put in their pockets rather than letting investors benefit from those gains. I believe investing in IPOs is a high-risk game, not to be played with by the average investor. A good example is Newsmax, which was a hot IPO with an issuing price of $10 a share that very quickly went to $265, as of today it is trading around $13 a share. A lot of people have lost their shirts, and I doubt they will get them back. To me the safer play to benefit from the increased number of IPOs is the banks handling this process considering they should be seeing a nice increase in profits. This would include your large players like JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs. As of now there are other highly anticipated IPOs that could occur over the next year with names like robo-advisor Wealthfront, crypto firm Grayscale Investments, financial-technology firm Stripe, and sports apparel and betting company Fanatics all potentially hitting the public market.    What's going on with the real estate market? This week we got both existing and new home sales for the month of August and there was a stark difference in the reports. The headline number for new home sales showed an increase of 15.4% compared to last year, while existing home sales were up just 1.8% over that timeframe. The first important consideration here is new home sales can be extremely volatile on a month-to-month basis, and they make up a smaller portion of overall sales. Pre-pandemic, new home sales were normally around 10% of total sales, but with the limited listings in recent years they have been closer to 30% of all sales. One other reason for the large difference is how the reports are calculated. New home sales look at people that were out shopping and signing deals in August, while existing home sales look at closings in the month, which means these were deals that were signed in June or July. Interest rates may have played a factor here as rates for the 30-year fixed mortgage were around 6.7-6.8% in June and July vs around 6.5-6.6% in August. This also doesn't include the fact that many homebuilders offer lower rates to entice buyers. The supply of new homes also looks much better for buyers considering there was a 7.4-month supply in August and that was down from a nine-month supply in July. This compares to a 4.6-month supply for existing homes in the month of August. Homebuilders have a much larger need to move homes quickly as many of them don't want them sitting on their balance sheet as that can create risks. This compares to the average home seller that may not have a need to sell their home and when looking at the crazy market from just a couple years ago, I believe many of them have unrealistic expectations for how much their homes are worth and how fast the property will sell. Homes are staying on the market longer at around 31 days on average, which compares to 26 days last year. These factors have led sellers to either pull their listing or even delay listing in the first place. One similarity between the two reports was the annual price appreciation with the median price on existing home sales climbing 2% to $422,600 and the price on new home sales climbing 1.9% to $413,500. These high prices and higher mortgage rates have continued to impact the first-time buyer as their share in the existing home sale market was near historical lows at 28%. With everything considered here I still believe the housing market will remain on a slow upward trajectory with limited supply continuing to battle against affordability concerns.   Financial Planning: Insurance Vs Investments When building a financial plan, it's important to recognize that investments and insurance serve very different purposes. Insurance is designed to protect against loss. Life insurance provides for your family if you pass away, health insurance shields you from crushing medical bills, and auto insurance protects you financially from accidents or damage. You pay a known cost, the premium, to avoid a potentially devastating unknown cost, which makes insurance a valuable safety net. Investments, on the other hand, are meant to grow wealth and produce income. Stocks, bonds, and real estate help your money work for you overtime. While they can experience short-term volatility and uncertainty, most high-quality investments are built on solid foundations and have historically rewarded patience; those who can tolerate the ups and downs are almost guaranteed to come out ahead in the long run. The confusion comes when insurance products, like permanent life policies or annuities, are marketed as investments. While they may promise guarantees or cash value, they usually come with high fees, low returns, limited flexibility, and lots of fine print, making them poor substitutes for true investments. That doesn't mean insurance is bad, it simply means it works best when used for protection, not growth. The healthiest financial plans keep the roles clear: use insurance to protect and use investments to build wealth. Mixing the two often results in an expensive compromise that doesn't perform well on either front.   Companies Discussed: Compass, Inc. (COMP), PACCAR Inc. (PCAR) & Amazon, Inc. (AMZN)

The Bank of Canada has cut interest rates for the first time since March, and just a few hours later - on the same day - the U-S Federal Reserve followed suit with its first cut this year.It comes with both economies struggling, but that's where the similarities end.The two central banks have very different mandates, and while trade uncertainty has made the job tricky on both sides of the border, two distinct but connected stories continue to play out.There are also concerns about Canada's real estate market - and how interest rates could impact access to affordable housing.Host Kris McCusker speaks to Randall Bartlett, Deputy Chief Economist at Desjardins Group, about both decisions, the thinking behind the cuts, and what might be coming next. We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes. You can find us:Through email at hello@thebigstorypodcast.ca Or @thebigstoryfpn on Twitter

Yesterday, both the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Bank of Canada cut interest rates by a quarter point. On paper it may sound small, but in reality it was a major signal. Central banks rarely move in tandem unless the global economy is flashing warning signs. In this case, the cuts were not acts of strength, but indications of a weakening economy. The Fed acted on the back of softening labour and inflation data. The Bank of Canada responded to one of the worst employment reports the country has seen since the financial crisis, alongside a GDP contraction and a decade-long stagnation in productivity.Canada has shed 106,000 jobs in just two months, the steepest decline since 2009 outside of the pandemic years. The unemployment rate sits at 7.1%, though the reality is worse given the growing number of discouraged workers who are no longer counted in the labour force. GDP shrank 1.6% on an annualized basis in the second quarter, far worse than expected (0.6%), and per capita GDP has not grown since 2016. Productivity has declined in 15 of the past 18 quarters, leaving Canada stuck while the United States continues to pull ahead. Against that backdrop, rate cuts were inevitable. They are not preemptive adjustments - rather it feels like recession management.What holds the system together in moments like these is confidence. Confidence in the housing market, confidence in the stock market, confidence in government. Yet for many Canadians, that confidence has already been shaken. Housing prices have surged far faster than wages, eroding real purchasing power year after year. Families increasingly feel that elected officials have failed them, and the erosion of trust has become a slow leak. Rate cuts might offer a momentary reprieve for borrowers, but they cannot restore confidence on their own.Vancouver, by contrast, is experiencing a rental paradox. Sales ticked up slightly in August, but remain nearly 60% below peak levels. The sales-to-new listings ratio has fallen below 40%, a threshold that historically precedes price declines. Inventory continues to rise, months of supply sit at their highest since 2012, and the price index slipped again last month. At the same time, rental construction is surging. Metro Vancouver will see a 17% increase in rental supply over the next two years, while Kelowna is on track for a staggering 33% increase. With population growth slowing, this supply wave will inevitably push vacancies higher, something Vancouver has not experienced in years. Renters will see relief in the short term, but single-family permits are at record lows, which points to severe shortages by the late 2020s and a return to undersupply by the 2030s for both asset classes.The central bank cuts will ease borrowing costs slightly, and some buyers will return to the market. But rate cuts cannot create demand where none exists, nor can they resolve structural oversupply. In fact, by keeping weak projects alive longer, they may extend the correction rather than shorten it. What truly matters is confidence. Rate cuts feel like gifts, but they are really warning signals. They tell us that fragility is here, not ahead. The question is whether we treat this fragility as a chance to reset and rebuild trust, or whether we allow confidence to erode further. Because when confidence is restored—in our homes, in our markets, and in our leaders—the system doesn't just hold. It thrives. _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

Episode Overview In this episode of the John Kitchens Coach Podcast, John sits down with Portuguese real estate leaders Rodolffo Carvalho and Nuno Batista to unpack their journey of disrupting one of Europe's toughest real estate markets. From breaking free of legacy brands like Century 21 to building Portugal's #1 eXp Realty team, they share how mindset, perseverance, and innovation helped them create explosive growth in an environment with no MLS, limited data access, and outdated practices. This is a masterclass in faith, consistency, and execution—a story of how two agents trusted the process, built proof, and are now leading an expansion movement that's changing the way real estate is done in Portugal. What You'll Learn in This Episode Breaking Into the Market The unique challenges of selling real estate in Portugal (no MLS, watermarked listings, fragmented data). Why 80% of new agents quit within months—and how to survive beyond the early hits. The critical decision to go all-in on listings over buyers. Building Proof & Momentum Why mindset and perseverance were the foundation for success. The three phases of their growth journey: mindset, execution, and consolidation. How they doubled GCI year over year by staying consistent with ads, social media, and training. Marketing & Expansion The game-changing move to partner with a marketing agency for scale. How investing in branding and content positioned them as market leaders. Why proof had to come before recruiting—and how patience set the stage for expansion. Leading with Value The value proposition they now offer agents: lead generation, training, and on-the-ground support. Why helping agents “work smart” (not just hard) creates long-term loyalty. How they're building a revenue share team and a leadership hub in Lisbon to support growth. Resources & Mentions John Kitchens Executive Coaching → eXp Realty – Global growth platform Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being Eric Post – huzi.ai Final Takeaway Success in real estate doesn't come from following the crowd—it comes from trusting the process, building proof, and leading with value. Rodolffo and Nuno's story proves that even in the toughest markets, consistency and faith can disrupt an entire industry. “Faith is rewarded perhaps even more than talent or ability.” – Rick Rubin (quoted in this episode) “You wake up and you go to sleep thinking about motivated sellers. That is the game.” – John Kitchens Connect with Us: Instagram:  LinkedIn:  Facebook:    If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe and leave a review.

Send us a textReady for a real estate reality check? The extreme market swings we've witnessed for years are finally settling into something resembling balance. In the notoriously volatile Bay Area, median home prices have dipped 4% to $1.3 million, homes are sitting for 30 days instead of 18, and only one in five properties faces a bidding war—down dramatically from the two-thirds that sparked frenzies in 2021.This cooling trend creates a strategic window for prepared investors and homebuyers. While today's 6.58% mortgage rates have lowered typical monthly payments to $2,668 (the lowest in seven months), buyer demand remains surprisingly muted. The smart money sees this hesitation as opportunity. Sellers don't want their homes lingering for 40+ days, creating leverage for negotiating concessions, closing credits, and rate buy-downs that simply weren't possible during the pandemic boom.What makes this moment particularly significant are the demographic shifts reshaping the housing landscape. Homeownership among 25-34 year olds sits at just 39%, while nationwide rentership has climbed to 36%—its highest level since 2016. Combined with JP Morgan's prediction of four Federal Reserve rate cuts by year-end, we're looking at a potential strategic sweet spot: buy with negotiating power now in a cool market, then refinance when rates drop. Remember the fundamental truth of real estate: when rates decrease, prices typically increase as affordability improves. Most consumers buy mortgage payments, not houses—meaning this window of opportunity won't stay open indefinitely. As I tell my students: words are loud, but numbers scream. And right now, the numbers are screaming opportunity for those willing to move while others wait.
