On the surface, you can say that Brian Tibbs was able to retire from his job as a missionary, where he and his wife Jill averaged making $9.20/hour over the course of 16 years. However, it was due to his investing in real estate before that time that helped him build the momentum over those 16 years overseas to make it possible. In a 3 year period, he got married, quit his job, sold 60% of his real estate and moved to Guatemala with his wife. During their time away, they built a team of 380 leaders that planted 96 churches in 11 countries, and raised over $20 Million for their cause. With their limited income, Brian developed the HACKER method, which allowed him to build his multi-million net worth with an extremely limited income, and is focused on helping others do the same.Follow Brian

Episode Overview In this episode, John Kitchens, Jay Kinder, and Albie Stasek dive into the shifting dynamics of today's real estate landscape—from team growth and agent migration to California's wildfire devastation and Zillow's evolving influence. With no guest this week, the conversation gets real as the guys dissect the core trends impacting the industry right now. They explore how pain, opportunity, and leadership are reshaping the way agents and teams make decisions. Plus, they tackle a major emerging trend: team mergers and mega team expansion. Is this the next wave or a cultural clash waiting to happen? This is a must-listen for team leaders, broker-owners, and agents looking to future-proof their business in 2025 and beyond. Key Topics Covered The Real State of Agent Movement Why top-producing agents and influential teams are migrating to eXp. What's really motivating these moves: pain, opportunity, or timing? How the last two years of slowdown created a demand for more consistent systems. Team Mergers and the Rise of Mega Teams Why teams are starting to merge—and whether this is smart growth or a culture crisis. Real-life lessons from failed mergers and what leaders need to know before joining forces. The importance of Patrick Lencioni's The Motive and choosing outcome over ego.

Long-term implications for inventory, insurance, and population migration. Why rents and premiums are about to spike—and who might be heading to Texas or Florida. Leadership Voids and the Agent Exodus Why agents are leaving legacy brands and mom-and-pop brokerages in droves. The silent killer: lack of leadership, vision, and meaningful direction. How today's best leaders are creating followership by removing ego and casting vision. Motivation, Vision & What Really Drives Production The truth about why agents plateau: financial comfort and a weak “why.” What Elon Musk's obsession teaches us about drive, discipline, and mission. Why the pack moves at the pace of the leader—and how to lead by example. Resources Mentioned The Motive by Patrick Lencioni – Must-read before attempting a team merger Elon Musk Biography – Referenced for insights on obsession and vision Zillow Flex Model – Discussed as the modern equivalent of REO strategy Verne Harnish's Top Book Lists – Recommends reading Elon multiple times CHSA/CHBA Systems – Mentioned as essential frameworks for consistent deals HoneyBadgerNation.com – Access to leadership tools, agent training, and systems EXP Nasdaq Event – Company news update (happening July 21st) Final Takeaway Leadership matters now more than ever.

Episode Overview In this episode, John Kitchens and Albie Stasek break down what's really happening in today's real estate market—and how top agents can rise above the noise and uncertainty. From wild inventory swings and buyer hesitation to negotiation gaps and pricing psychology, John unpacks what it takes to thrive right now. He also dives deep into the power of CHSA and CHBA—two systems that helped agents sell thousands of homes by turning expertise and process into massive leverage. If you're tired of guessing, winging it, or losing business to discount agents, this is your wake-up call. Key Topics Covered Real Estate Market Reality Check Why today's inventory spike doesn't mean a crash—and how this cycle is different from 2008. The two types of agents in this market: those with experience and those who've only known easy. How team leaders are coaching their agents through slower activity and harder conversations. Why Buyers Are Freezing—and What to Do About It The real reasons behind buyer hesitation: interest rates and fear of overpaying. Why “waiting for rates to drop” is a flawed mindset—and how to reframe the conversation with data. How to use job market trends, local lenders, and third-party validation to regain trust and urgency. Mastering the Pending Ratio How to calculate the pending ratio and use it to lead the conversation with confidence. Why this one metric reveals the true pulse of your local market—and how to turn it into a script. What a drop in the ratio actually means and how to prepare your clients accordingly. Dusting Off Your Negotiation Muscles Why most agents haven't had to truly negotiate for years—and why that needs to change fast. Getting creative in today's deals: seller credits, timelines, and win-win structuring. Relearning the art of negotiation with a “back to basics” mindset. Differentiation: The Game-Changer in a Saturated Market Why the “me monster” listing presentation is dead—and what to do instead. How CHSA and CHBA systems build trust, confidence, and credibility faster than any trophy wall. Real-world examples of how agents beat the “800-lb gorilla” in their market by being different. Pricing Psychology & Stopping the Listing Stigma How overpriced listings are killing agent trust—and what to say to win listings with logic. Using hyperlocal trends (zip code and subdivision) to nail pricing strategy. The danger of “buying the listing” and how to pre-frame price reductions before they're needed. Motivation Over Fear: Understanding Real Buyer Behavior Why life events, not interest rates, drive real buying decisions. The CHSA/CHBA process for identifying true AA buyers and sellers. How to coach clients through fear by building belief, not pressure. The CHSA/CHBA Breakdown What CHSA (Certified Home Selling Advisor) and CHBA (Certified Home Buying Advisor) really are. The 8 Laws that power both systems—from differentiation and execution to cooperation and exposure. Why these systems allowed agents to escape production and scale—and how they're working better than ever in 2025. Resources Mentioned HoneyBadgerNation.com – Full access to CHSA/CHBA courses, marketing resources, seller videos, and more Certified Home Selling Advisor System – Over 115 variables that help listings sell faster and for more CHBA Buyer Process – Tools and systems for working only with motivated, qualified buyers The Pending Ratio Formula – [Pending ÷ (Pending + Active)] to forecast market health CHSA Listing Videos – Used to pre-frame listings and reduce objections “Simple Numbers” by Greg Crabtree – Referenced for understanding business financials Two-Hour Touch-Up Staging Strategy – A simple way to stand out and add perceived value Honey Badger Nation Merch – Available now on the site for community reps Final Takeaway Control what you can.

Send us a textReal estate agents are constantly under attack. One of the most common risks agents face is when something breaks in the house post-closing. Too many lawyers and buyers think the listing agent knew every possible defect that could have existed in the house. Currently, there are three major defenses that can be used when agents are sued. Today, I will highlight two significant court cases, McLaughlin vs. Williams and Isaac vs. Kopchinski, as well as the existing statutory protections that further shield agents from liability. Don't forget to like us and share us!Gary* Gary serves on the South Carolina Real Estate Commission as a Commissioner.
