In this episode of the Ninja Selling Podcast, Northern Virginia Realtor and Ninja, April Myers, explores what it really looks like to stay magnetic, consistent, and growth-minded when life gets very real. Based in Arlington, Virginia, with @properties in the DC suburbs, April shares how her background as a recruiting leader and VP of strategic growth helped her become fearless in sales and build powerful relationships with agents across her market. Those relationships are now a major asset in her real estate business. But the heart of this episode is deeply personal. In late 2024, April's husband, who has epilepsy, experienced a seizure after more than 10 years without one, and then another in early 2025. He lost his driver's license for nearly a year, which meant April became the full-time driver for her husband, her young son, and her clients… all while working in a volatile DC-area market with layoffs, uncertainty, and a government shutdown. Despite all of that, April is on track to grow her business by roughly 20% over last year in a market that is not up 20%. She walks through, very candidly, how she did it: mindset work, strict time blocking, non-negotiable morning routines, consistent FLOW (both live and auto), and a refusal to become a victim of her circumstances. This episode is a powerful example of Ninja principles in action when life is anything but easy. Key Takeaways Mindset first, always. April made a conscious decision early on: "I will not be a victim of my circumstances." That choice, to be a player instead of a victim, became the foundation for everything that followed. Systems let your business run while you're running. Before her family crisis hit, April had already built a solid Ninja business plan, a database, and consistent habits. When life got harder, those systems kept the business moving even when time shrank. Time blocking is self-preservation, not punishment. April blocks her calendar for real estate reviews, monthly emails, FLOW activities, and even which clients get a review each month. By deciding ahead of time, she removes the thinking burden from "future April" and just executes. FLOW is her superpower: auto + live. About 225–240 people in her database, with ~150 local in the DMV. At least two emails per month: one local lifestyle/events email and one real estate/market update from her Gmail. Regular mailings: quarterly newsletters, postcards, topical or seasonal pieces, plus tools like Homebot, and a vendor guide. Live FLOW: birthday calls, home anniversaries, client service calls every week, and at least one client dinner a month. April rarely "misses a beat" with her FLOW, even in a chaotic year. Recruiting experience turned into a massive advantage. Years of recruiting 175–200 agents made her fearless on the phone, great at conversations, and deeply connected to top agents in her market. These relationships now help her get offers accepted in competitive situations. Look for silver linings in hard seasons. When her husband lost his license, April chose to use extra time at school pickups, games, and events to go deeper with other parents, neighbors, and community members. That intentional presence has led to unexpected, high-quality clients in a tough year. Consistency beats "doing it all." April openly admits she didn't do as many open houses as she "should" have, but she stayed consistent on the core Ninja activities she could execute. The result: her business is up in a down market. Memorable Quotes "I refused to become a victim of my circumstances." "I still look back on the last 10 or 11 months and think, 'I don't know how I did it.' But I knew I needed a plan and a system to run my business like a business." "Those years recruiting agents made me fearless. If you can call Realtors every day who don't want to talk to you, it's a lot easier to talk to people who actually do want to talk to you." "I wanted to be an anomaly. I was already going to be, so why let this stop me?" "I started getting up a half hour to an hour earlier every day. I needed that time for affirmations and mindset because it keeps me grounded and sane." "It's like going to the gym. It's hard at first, and you don't see changes, but change doesn't happen overnight. You start to see results, and that keeps you going." "Trust the silver linings. Something hard might be happening, but there might be something better around the corner that you can't see yet." "We say the three keys to success are mindset, skill set, and action, in that order. I couldn't control what happened, but I could control my response to what happened."

The Industry Relations Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! Overview Rob and Greg break down what happened at NAR NXT in Houston — from the empty expo floor to major MLS–Association policy changes. Greg shares on-the-ground insights from meetings, parties, and conversations with MLS leaders, while Rob analyzes the strategic implications of NAR's 18-point PAG recommendations and what he calls the "emancipation" of MLSs. They also discuss winners and losers of the policy shifts, potential impacts on associations, vendors, portals, and brokers, and tee up a future episode on NAR's new strategic plan. Key Takeaways Expo Floor Shift: Major real estate brands were largely absent, and new vendors were mostly centralized in the REACH kiosk area. NAR's pavilion took up a large portion of the floor. Tightened Meeting Access: Vendors and some MLS staff were denied entry to MLS policy roundtables, signaling increased NAR gatekeeping. Policy Changes = MLS Freedom: NAR repealed disciplinary guidelines and removed the requirement for MLS users to be association members, pushing authority to the local level. Rob argues this effectively removes NAR from the MLS business. Winners & Losers: Winners: Large MLSs, large brokers, possibly Zillow (depending on data access negotiations). Losers: State and local associations relying on mandatory membership; potentially Realtor.com as syndication leverage shifts. Associations Must Reinvent: Without mandatory membership, associations must create new value propositions and revenue paths. Strategic Plan Concerns: Rob calls NAR's new strategic plan "a pile" of platitudes and plans a full breakdown in a future episode. Parties & Atmosphere: Rentspree, ICE, and others hosted strong events, but the conference felt less relevant overall with notable CEO absences.

This week on That's Me, Is That You?, I'm sharing the story behind the fedora — and how it led me straight into real estate.

Most agents think marketing has gotten harder, that technology, AI, and algorithms have made everything too complicated. But the truth is, it's never been easier to be a marketer and to actually get results. You can create video content without showing your face. You can automate your emails, SMS, and social posts in minutes. You can turn one idea into ten pieces of content that generate leads while you sleep. Yet most agents still struggle to grow; not because the tools are hard, but because they're doing what everyone else is doing… or worse, doing the bare minimum. In today's market, average doesn't convert. The agents winning right now aren't the ones spending the most money; they're the ones showing up consistently, leveraging automation, and using AI to amplify their expertise instead of hiding behind excuses. How can you turn one real estate deal into multiple streams of income? How do agents embrace tech?  That's what I'm unpacking on Constant Contact's Be a Marketer podcast, where I was featured as a guest.  Along with co-hosts Dave Charest, Stephanie Alonso, I break down why most agents misunderstand marketing, how to simplify your systems, and what it takes to build a business that compounds while you're off the clock.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  The no excuse zone mindset Success doesn't come from talent or timing; it comes from eliminating excuses. How do you rewire your habits to operate like an entrepreneur, not an employee? Consistency over charisma The most profitable agents aren't the flashiest; they're the most consistent. What boring, daily habits separate six-figure producers from struggling agents? Video is the ultimate multiplier Video isn't optional; it's the only form of content that can be repurposed into text, audio, and leads. How can you use AI and automation to make video your most scalable marketing tool? Leads, loyalty, and longevity New agents often wait for brokers to hand them leads. How can CRMs, landing pages, and follow-ups turn your list into a self-sustaining income engine?   Guest Bios Stephanie Alonso is a speaker and the Senior Director of Vertical Innovation at Constant Contact. She is a dynamic, results-driven sales and strategy leader with a relentless passion for empowering individuals and teams to achieve their highest potential. Stephanie's track record as a revenue generator, strategic thinker, and sales training and enablement expert has led to success in developing and executing go-to-market strategies that drive revenue growth. Connect with Stephanie on LinkedIn.  Dave Charest is a keynote speaker, award-winning podcast host of Be A Marketer, and the Director of Small Business Success at Constant Contact, the digital marketing platform trusted by millions of small businesses. Every day, Dave talks with small business owners about what really works in marketing.

College funding strategies parents ignore. If your buyers are asking how to afford tuition and a mortgage, this episode breaks down real-world college savings plans, FAFSA filing tips, and scholarship stacking strategies. Learn how one Texas family used student-athlete recruiting and a 529 savings plan to cut future student loans without derailing their homeownership goals.Episode OverviewCollege funding strategies take center stage in this episode as Mike and his daughter Catey walk through the real-life steps they used to navigate scholarships, FAFSA planning, and long-term college savings. Catey shares her experience as a student-athlete, giving Realtors insight into how athletic recruiting actually works and why academic scholarship planning matters early. The episode explains how a 529 savings plan can reduce future debt and why so many families overlook smaller, local scholarships.Mike also breaks down FAFSA filing tips, plus what every parent should know about tuition planning at private vs. state schools. For Realtors who get asked, “Should we save for college or buy a house first?” this conversation provides practical language for guiding clients through major financial decisions. With real examples and honest lessons learned, this episode equips real estate pros to support families navigating the balance between college costs and homeownership.Key Takeaways1. Start College Funding Early With a 529 PlanA 529 savings plan remains one of the most reliable college funding strategies thanks to tax-free growth and compounding returns. Mike explains how even small monthly contributions add up, and how new 529 rollover rules help students build long-term retirement savings. Realtors can use this insight when clients ask how college planning affects future homebuying power. Early action creates flexibility instead of financial strain.2. Academic Scholarships Are the Biggest Missed OpportunityCatey's story shows how academic scholarship guides and strong GPAs are a major cost-saver—especially at private schools. Many parents don't realize freshman-year grades impact class rank and scholarship offers. When clients ask, “Where do we even start with college money?”, academic merit is often the most impactful answer. These scholarships can offset tuition without relying on athletic recruiting.3. FAFSA Opens Doors—Even for Higher-Income FamiliesFAFSA planning is essential, not optional. Filing early opens access to grants, school-based aid, and student loan options that reduce long-term debt. Mike dispels the myth that "FAFSA won't help higher earners" and explains why every family must submit it. This context helps Realtors answer questions like, “Will student loans limit our ability to buy a home later?”4. Student-Athlete Recruiting Requires Realistic ExpectationsCatey describes her path through D1, D2, D3, NAIA, and JUCO evaluations—and why recruiting requires consistent effort, highlight videos, and campus visits. Athletic scholarships aren't guaranteed, so families need to understand the true landscape. Realtors supporting sports families can help them think through travel costs, schedules, and timelines that influence both college planning and future home decisions.5. Local Scholarships and AI Tools Are the Secret AdvantageMike explains why small local scholarships—often $500 to $2,500—are the easiest money families overlook. Catey highlights how Bold.org, Niche, and AI tools simplify the search and even help refine essays. For Realtors asked, “What else can we do to find college money quickly?”, these tools provide real direction. Small awards add up fast and meaningfully lower...

Sometimes you just need another agent to say what everyone else is thinking. In this Q&A episode, Katy and Alissa are answering the real-life, in-the-trenches questions Realtors are navigating every single day. We're talking client expectations, boundaries, broker advice that doesn't make sense, and what actually works in today's market. When y'all send questions to our inbox, you never disappoint. And this batch covers everything from inspections to communication issues to luxury listings to motherhood to what we'd do if we didn't work in real estate. It's honest, funny, and full of practical advice you can use immediately. Here's what we chat about in this episode: Should Realtors go to inspections (and why brokers sometimes say not to) What to do when clients break agreements or try to cut you out The triggers we use to stay on top of communication Whether you really need a second phone or Google Voice Email marketing: what actually works and what your clients don't care about What to charge when covering showings for another agent Rental property updates from Alissa And what job we'd take if we ever left real estate Key Quotes & Takeaways "You're not the inspector just because you showed up. You're the professional who guides your client through the process." —Katy "If someone doesn't want to work with me, I'm not going to fight them about it—but I am going to enforce the contract." —Alissa "Most boundary problems disappear when you communicate like a professional from the very beginning." —Katy "I'm not trying to be right, I'm trying to be happy—and sometimes that means letting people be wrong." —Alissa "There is no such thing as an easy closing. That's why clients need us." —Katy Products, People & Previous Episodes Mentioned: Email Templates 101: http://emailtemplates101.com Agent Systems 101: http://agentsystems101.com Hustle Humbly Newsletter: http://hustlehumblypodcast.com/newsletter Trello training inside Hustle Humbly Community Want to toast someone on the show?

In this episode, we're covering some of the biggest conversations happening in real estate right now — and a few that agents really need to pay attention to as we close out the year. We kick things off with Donald Trump's proposal for 50-year mortgages and the heated industry debate it's sparked. Would longer loans boost affordability… or create bigger problems? We break down both sides.Next, we dive into what rising REALTOR® dues could mean for the future of the industry. Will we see fewer “realtors” and more non-association “real estate agents”? And how might that shift impact consumers?We also talk about the subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs that the agent on the other side of a transaction might be inexperienced — and how to handle those situations professionally without putting your clients at risk.Finally, we wrap with a roadmap for agents looking to finish the year strong: the conversations you need to have, the habits to tighten up, and the moves that set you up for a cleaner, more profitable start to next year.If you're a real estate pro trying to stay sharp, informed, and ahead of the curve, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

The National Association of Realtors' latest data shows a historic shift in the U.S. housing market: the typical first-time homebuyer is now 40 years old. In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down why first-time buyers are aging, what rising mortgage rates and record-high prices have to do with it, and how this trend is reshaping inventory, mobility, and long-term wealth building.

Michael breaks down a new data point from the National Association of Realtors: the median age of U.S. home buyers has climbed to 59. He explores what's driving the shift—from affordability crises to shifting priorities—and examines new proposals like 50-year mortgages and portable home loans. Plus, how America's housing shortage ties into mental health, generational trends, and global comparisons. It's all the basis for today's Smerconish.com Poll Question, which asks "Why has the median age for U.S. homebuyers risen to 59 - Affordability, or Shifting Priorities?" Listen here, and then vote!

Whether you're a brand-new agent still waiting on your first commission check or a seasoned agent trying to jumpstart a slow season, the real question is the same: where do you find a deal?  In real estate, there's no shortage of strategies: calling expireds, launching Facebook ads, working your sphere, and hosting open houses, but not all strategies are created equal, especially when you're just starting out.  Some methods build momentum fast, others require more skill, time, or confidence than most new agents have on day one. The goal isn't just to get a transaction, it's to get that first win that proves you belong in this business.  What are some of the easiest ways to generate a deal in 60-90 days? What lead gen methods should new agents avoid until they have more experience?  In this episode, we unpack the best ways to get early traction, from tapping into buyer leads and old contacts in your brokerage's database to simple text scripts that turn conversations into contracts.  Things You'll Learn In This Episode  Your sphere isn't exhausted; it's untapped Most agents don't fail because people don't trust them; they fail because they never actually reach out. What would happen if you texted every single contact in your phone this week? Old leads are hidden gold That “cold” or “dead” lead in the CRM might be someone else's future closing. What deals could you unlock if you spent just three hours a day calling your database? Buyers build momentum faster than listings If you're trying to get paid sooner rather than later, working buyer leads can be the quickest way to a paycheck. Why are so many agents resisting the easiest deals to close? Avoid the toughest game too early Expireds are powerful, but not for beginners. What traps do agents fall into when they jump into advanced lead types before building confidence?   About Your Host Greg Harrelson is a real estate agent, coach, trainer, and owner of Century 21 The Harrelson Group.

In this episode of the Loan Officer Leadership Podcast, Steve Kyles and Frank Garay reveal the simple, proven formula that will win you business and build long-term trust with qualified agents. You'll learn: The three things every agent truly wants from their lender How to remove chaos and become their competitive advantage Why consistency beats every marketing trick in the book How to turn communication and follow-up into new referrals Stop chasing the next silver bullet. Do these three things well, and word will spread fast. Book a free strategy call to learn how to implement this system at FreedomPlanningCall.com.

It's Wednesday, November 12th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Chinese Communists arrested and detained three Christians Communist authorities in central China arrested and detained three Christians from a house church this month. Two of the Christians are pastors. They are facing trumped up charges of “fraud” and had previously spent over two years in custody. Officials often use such charges against house church leaders for simply receiving tithes and offerings. ChinaAid noted, “In recent years, the charge of ‘fraud' has increasingly been used by local governments across China as a common tactic to suppress pastors of house churches systematically.” Psalm 14:1, 4 says, “The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God.' They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none who does good. … Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up My people as they eat bread, and do not call on the LORD?” Japanese soldiers address attacks by bears Japan deployed troops to the northern part of the island country last week to deal with a string of deadly attacks—from bears. Since April of this year, bears have killed at least 13 people in Japan and injured over 100 more. That's the most fatalities on record. Experts are blaming the attacks on a poor acorn harvest this year. Bears are now leaving their natural habitats and wandering into urban areas to find food. In one incident last month, a bear attacked shoppers at a supermarket 80 miles north of Tokyo.   Supreme Court affirms Trump's call for biologically accurate passports In the United States, the U.S. Supreme ruled in favor of the Trump administration in a case involving so-called gender identity.  The ruling allows the State Department to require passports to list the holder's biological sex at birth. The court ruled 6-3 along ideological lines.  The ruling stated, “Displaying passport holders' sex at birth no more offends equal protection principles than displaying their country of birth—in both cases, the government is merely attesting to an historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential treatment.” Nebraska defunded Planned Parenthood Nebraska became the latest state to defund abortion providers like Planned Parenthood.  The state's Republican Governor Jim Pillen  signed an executive order last Thursday to end Medicaid funding to abortion providers. Nebraska made the move after the U.S. Supreme Court allowed South Carolina to defund Planned Parenthood.   Listen to comments from Nebraska State Attorney General Mike Hilgers. HILGERS: “Today is a culmination of years of work to ensure that Nebraska taxpayers no longer have their tax dollars going to fund abortions in the state of Nebraska. It's a fight that has gone on even from my time in the legislature.  “When we first got Title X funds, we stopped Title X from going to abortion providers, and now, thanks to [Nebraska] Governor Pillen's leadership, we have finally gotten to a place where taxpayer funds will no longer support abortions.” Age of first-time home buyer has increased to record high of 40 The National Association of Realtors released their 2025 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers. The share of homes being bought by first-time buyers dropped to a record low of 21% over the last year. Meanwhile, the typical age of a first-time buyer climbed to an all-time high of 40. Jessica Lautz, Deputy Chief Economist for the National Association of Realtors, said, “The historically low share of first-time buyers underscores the real-world consequences of a housing market starved for affordable inventory.” Regular Bible readers are more generous The American Bible Society released a new chapter from its State of the Bible USA 2025 report. The research found people who read the Bible regularly are more likely to be generous. Among Christian denominations, Evangelical Protestants have the highest percentage of givers and the highest median amount given. John Plake with the American Bible Society said, “The correlation between Scripture engagement and loving behavior and generosity is undeniable. The more people engage with Scripture, the more likely they are to give of their time, talents, and treasures and to act lovingly toward their neighbors.” In 1 Corinthians 9:7, the Apostle Paul wrote, “So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.” Florida's first search-and-rescue otter And finally, officials in Florida are deploying their first ever search-and-rescue otter. Splash, the two-year-old otter, is now helping the Martin County Sheriff's Office in search and rescue missions. Splash uses a unique bubble technique to detect scents underwater. This allows him to find missing bodies more effectively than dive teams can.  Listen to comments from Sheriff John Budensiek to CBS12 News. BUDENSIEK: “We see a lot of innovative things with technology [Artificial Intelligence], but we're going back to the basics of using an animal to do what they do best, and that's to go in their own environment and detect things that don't belong there.” A rescue otter.  What a brilliant way to employ one of God's creatures to rescue those made in God's image!
