Send us a textReal estate agent complaints about being cut of out of builder transactions and builder agents having direct communication with represented clients is on the rise.  Today I review the recent guidance letter from the South Carolina Real Estate Commission regarding builder agents and their responsibilities. In particular, I discuss the need for builder agents to comply with the same regulations as other real estate agents including agency, interference with agency and disclosure. I cover the common violations by builder agents, the significance of independent representation for buyers, and legal precedents that highlight the unequal bargaining power in real estate transactions. I conclude with key takeaways for both builders and agents to ensure compliance and protect consumer rights.Don't forget to like us and share us!Gary* Gary serves on the South Carolina Real Estate Commission as a Commissioner.

What if I told you that nobody cares about your effort—until you win? This is the brutal truth about building anything meaningful: your work is invisible until it pays off. In this raw, unfiltered solo episode, I pull back the curtain on what it really takes to build a real estate business while working a W2, raising a family, and getting kicked in the teeth by the grind. No exits. No millions. No highlight reel. Just truth. I've lost money. I've closed deals after restaurant shifts. I've stayed up late, missed vacations, and poured everything into a dream most people won't care about until it “works.” This episode is for the ones still in the fight. The ones building with no applause. The ones doing it anyway. If you're grinding in silence, doubting yourself, or waiting for someone to care—this is your sign to keep going.

The conversation around PEX piping has generated a LOT of opinions on this channel. We thought the episode with Eric Aune would be the last on the topic, but inspector Jon Bolton reached out to us regarding material failures and class action lawsuits that are still ongoing surrounding the product. So, we figured we'd bring him on for a rebuttal of sorts. But we want to kick the conversation to YOU guys? As inspectors, have we reached the point of discovery where a PEX disclaimer is warranted? Or are we still sorting out and improving a product that has a strong future use case? Sound off in the comments! Oh and if you're in the Dallas area tonight, go hear Matt speak at the regional BS and Beer event happening this evening! BS = Building Science

In Episode 286 of Monday Morning Pep Talk, I walk you through a mid-year Q3 Audit rooted in the Take Flight philosophy. This isn't about motivation—it's about recalibration. I am not here to tell you what to do. I'm here to challenge you through questions designed to provoke clarity, sharpen your self-awareness, and reignite your vision. If you've been reactive, coasting, or feeling off-course, this is the moment to reset.

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. Zillow Flex and the New Real Estate Game How top operators like Kyle Whissel are dominating markets through Flex. Why Flex is like the new REO playbook: low-margin leads, high-lifetime value. What most teams miss when they chase short-term profits over long-term positioning. The California Wildfire Crisis A firsthand breakdown of how fires are reshaping real estate on the West Coast. 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.
