Spoiler alert: It's not a magic script or a massive ad budget... it's something you can start doing today.Episode Summary:Dustin breaks down why the "lone wolf" mentality is the fastest way to stay broke in real estate. He discusses the power of resourcefulness, the hidden cost of "missed opportunity," and why top agents don't ask if they can afford a solution, but how they can afford it. Whether you're a brand-new agent or a 40-year veteran, this episode is a wake-up call to stop throwing a pity party and start investing in the blueprints that shorten your learning curve by years.Resources mentioned: •  VIDEO: Send these 3 texts to get a new listing by lunchtime - https://youtu.be/3JX4MFa66mk***********************RESOURCES : Free "Clients From Social" Masterclass - Learn the new formula top agents are using on social media to attract 5+ new closings, month after month.

There's a lot of noise in real estate right now.Headlines about agent counts. Statistics shared without context.Conversations designed to spark fear instead of clarity.In this episode of Life at Ten Tenths, Matt and Garrett break down why most realtors aren't actually your competition—and why believing otherwise can quietly drain your energy, focus, and confidence.This conversation looks at the widely discussed statistics circulating in the industry and reframes them through the lens of how consumers actually behave. Instead of competing with “everyone,” most agents are building businesses in entirely different lanes, serving different people, at different stages of trust.In this episode, we discuss:Why headline statistics often miss the real storyWho agents are truly competing against—and who they're notHow consumers actually choose who to work withWhy comparison pulls agents off their own pathWhere attention and energy create the greatest returnThis episode isn't about ignoring reality. It's about seeing it clearly—and choosing to focus on the work that actually builds a sustainable, referral-based business.

In this engaging conversation, Jennifer Carlson, a real estate professional and owner of a boutique firm in Pinehurst, North Carolina, shares her unique approach to real estate, emphasizing the importance of energy in homes and the personal stories behind them. She discusses her challenges in hiring and maintaining a high standard of service, her upcoming podcast 'The Haunted Realtor,' and her views on the impact of AI in the real estate industry. Jennifer also reflects on her personal journey, overcoming adversity, and the significance of building lasting client relationships.   Professional Real Estate Investors - How we can help you: Investor Fuel Mastermind:  Learn more about the Investor Fuel Mastermind, including 100% deal financing, massive discounts from vendors and sponsors you're already using, our world class community of over 150 members, and SO much more here: http://www.investorfuel.com/apply   Investor Machine Marketing Partnership:  Are you looking for consistent, high quality lead generation?

Today's episode is a real estate conversation with one of the most impressive young agents in the business. Cooper Murphy is 23 years old and closed 58 deals in his first full year as a real estate agent in 2025 — in a market where most people say it's “too hard to sell.” We break down exactly how he did it. We discuss what real work looks like day-to-day, why intention matters more than scripts, and how creating real value is the fastest way to build referrals and momentum. Cooper walks through his daily schedule, how many hours he's actually working, how he structures his calls and follow-ups, and why consistency beats talent every time. We also get into:Why networking works when it's done with the right intentionHow one great deal can turn into 10–15 moreThe difference between buyers and listings and where Cooper focused earlyWhy working with people your own age can compound long-termHow to think about lifetime client value instead of quick winsCreative financing and subject-to strategies and why they matter in this marketHow to analyze worst-case scenarios so you don't over-leverageWhy content and deal-sharing builds trust faster than traditional marketingThis episode is a blueprint for young agents, new agents, and anyone who wants to build a real estate business that compounds instead of burns out.

In this episode of The Real Build, I sat down with Tim Street, the owner of Foolproof FSBO, to talk about how he's challenging and redefining the real estate industry.Tim is on a mission to educate homeowners and give them the tools to protect themselves when buying or selling a home. We talked about why so many people lose money in real estate without realizing it, the misconceptions around selling without an agent, and what homeowners need to understand before they ever put a sign in the yard.This conversation digs into transparency, education, and why questioning the status quo makes a lot of people uncomfortable. Whether you're a homeowner, investor, or just someone who wants to better understand how real estate actually works, this is an episode that will make you think.Guest Info: Tim StreetWebsite: ⁠⁠https://foolprooffsbo.com/Linkedin: ⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/timothyjstreet/Host Info:Email: Bill@rkreiman.comCONNECT WITH ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:▶︎ YOUTUBE | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxAdSxHN0dIXZPhA-6p1HYA ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠▶︎ INSTAGRAM | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/imbillreiman⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠▶︎FACEBOOK| ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/billy.reiman ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠▶︎ LINKEDIN | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/bill-reim...⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠▶︎ TWITTER | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/ImBillReiman⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠▶︎ WEBSITE | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.rkreiman.com⁠

Despite the drumbeat of crash talk, the numbers tell a more nuanced story. Today's housing market isn't in freefall; it's recalibrating. Cara Lavender, senior research manager at John Burns Research and Consulting, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss where the housing market stands today and what builders and developers should expect as 2026 progresses. A Housing Market in Recalibration, Not Crisis Despite ongoing headlines predicting a housing crash, recent data tells a very different story. The current market environment is highly segmented, with affordability continuing to shape outcomes. First-time buyers remain constrained, while move-up and luxury segments are seeing more consistent activity. Rising inventory and softening prices reflect a recalibration, not systemic weakness. “We're still in a slow market, but we're seeing stabilization in a lot of areas,” Lavender said. “In no sense of the word are we seeing that we're on the verge of a “crash” when we look at all the data.” John Burns Research and Consulting forecasts average mortgage rates at around 6.6%, driven by normalization in the spread between the 10-year Treasury and the 30-year mortgage rate. While builders have been able to offset higher rates through aggressive buydowns, easing rates should provide more upside on the resale side, where demand has been more sensitive to borrowing costs. Nationally, the housing market remains structurally undersupplied by approximately 1.1 million homes, even as near-term supply has loosened across both new and resale markets. In metro Atlanta, resale supply currently sits around 4.3 months, a range traditionally considered healthy. How Affordability Is Shaping Buyer Behavior Affordability is a key factor in current market conditions, particularly as taxes and insurance continue to add pressure to monthly payments. Entry-level buyers remain highly payment-sensitive, while move-up buyers are increasingly returning to the market. “This is not a build-it-and-they-will-come market anymore,” she said. “Success is going to come from tightly refined offerings and really understanding who the buyer is in your market.” As resale sellers adjust pricing expectations, many move-up buyers—often sitting on significant equity—are finally able to make their next move. Buyers are making trade-offs, prioritizing efficiency and functionality over excess space, mirroring builders' efforts to value-engineer floor plans and control costs. Why Move-In-Ready Homes Are Winning Buyer preference for move-in-ready homes remains strong. According to John Burns’ research surveys, nearly 40% of resale listings require significant repairs or updates. “People don't want to put a new roof on. They don't want to redo flooring or kitchens,” Lavender said. “If sellers aren't willing to bring the price down, they're going to have to offer repairs or credits.” Homes that are well-located, competitively priced and turnkey continue to attract strong demand, while properties requiring work face longer marketing times and tougher negotiations. Build-to-Rent & the Changing Path to Homeownership As affordability challenges continue to delay first-time homeownership, build-to-rent (BTR) communities are playing an increasingly important role in the Atlanta housing market. These communities provide a longer-term rental solution for households that want the benefits of single-family living but are not yet ready or able to buy. Build-to-rent offers access to detached homes, private outdoor space and community amenities at a more attainable monthly cost, effectively bridging the gap between traditional apartments and homeownership. A “Boring” 2026 Outlook Looking ahead, John Burns Research and Consulting forecasts a gradual recovery in 2026, following several years of volatility across both new home and resale markets. While production levels and pricing are still expected to soften modestly in the near term, those declines are projected to be less severe than what the industry experienced throughout 2025. Lavender said, “Our 2026 forecast is kind of boring—and that's a good thing.” Tune in to the full episode to hear data-driven insights on today's housing market, affordability trends and what builders and developers can expect in 2026.

In today's episode of Call Her Creator (powered by Stan), I'm sitting down with the incredible Shannon Gillette. She's a wife, boy mom, one of the top Realtors in Arizona, founder of The Gillette Group at Real Broker, and she's been featured on HGTV. Oh, and she's built an Instagram brand that's closing real business with nearly 100,000 followers. But here's what I love most: Shannon didn't start with a platform. She started from scratch in 2015 with no money, no clients, and zero followers. Now she leads a top-producing team selling hundreds of homes a year, and she credits one thing more than anything else. Instagram stories. This is not a fluff conversation. Shannon breaks down the systems, decisions, and behind-the-scenes effort that helped her build a personal brand that converts attention into income. We talk about how she treats Instagram like a reality show (not a commercial), why she posts five stories a day, how she uses video hooks to stop the scroll, and how she creates content that attracts the right people instead of trying to appeal to everyone. If you're a creator, entrepreneur, or service provider who wants to grow your audience and actually turn that growth into revenue, you're going to love this one. -Follow Katelyn on instagram -Follow Shannon on instagram Thank you to my sponsors: Stan: Join the Dare to Post Challenge-a 30-day challenge designed to help Creators turn their dream into actual momentum.

We've talked about dual agency a lot over the years. We've shared why it can work, when it feels straightforward, and how staying factual and neutral has always been the goal.    In this episode, Alissa shares a real transaction that happened a while ago where dual agency went wrong. And although a lot of time has passed, the lessons still matter.    Things didn't fall apart because of a bad inspection. Not because of shady advice. But because of trust, distance, emotions, and a perfect storm of circumstances that turned a clean deal into a full-on gut punch.   We're walking through the entire story from start to finish so you can hear exactly what happened, what we would do differently, and the lessons every Realtor can take from it. Even if dual agency is illegal in your state, there are still big takeaways here around inspections, communication, and how quickly things can unravel when buyers don't feel secure.   Here's what we cover in this episode:   Why dual agency felt simple… until it didn't How out-of-state buyers and trust issues complicated everything What happens when buyers skip the inspection (and won't FaceTime) Why a clean inspection report can still kill a deal The emotional toll of representing both sides The social media post that officially ended the relationship What we would change next time How to protect your professionalism when things go sideways   This episode is honest, vulnerable, and very real. It's podcast therapy, y'all. Take what works, leave the rest, and let this be your reminder that even experienced Realtors can get humbled. Key Quotes & Takeaways "I genuinely believe I handled it right, but dual agency made it impossible for them to hear me." -Alissa "Sometimes you do everything correctly and it still goes wrong." -Katy "A clean inspection report doesn't matter if trust is already broken." -Alissa "This is why residential real estate is emotional, not logical." -Katy "This was my karma moment, and I will never forget how it felt." -Alissa Products, People & Previous Episodes Mentioned: Email Templates 101 Agent Systems 101 FREE Database Template Want to toast someone on the show?

The Bad News: You Are the Infection…The Good News: You Are The Cure! Stop looking at your P&L statement to find the source of your company's struggles—look in the mirror. We often say that our personal lives affect our business, like a gentle breeze. But on this week's episode of A New Direction, I am challenging that soft definition. As a Behavioral Strategist, I'm showing you why your personal problems actually INFECT your business like a virus. Whether it's financial fear, lack of sleep, or hidden insecurity, if the leader is sick, the business is dying. You might just be “Patient Zero.” We are going to dive deep into the science of “Cortisol Contagion” and why your stress is literally infecting your employees’ blood chemistry. Are you the leader who wakes up at 2:00 AM to fire off emails? You might think you're being productive, but you are actually spreading the “Adrenaline Virus” and creating a culture of false urgency that kills performance. If your people aren’t selling, or your turnover is high, it's not the economy—it's an infection, and I'm going to show you how to diagnose it. This isn’t just theory; we are doing the work. I'm going to walk you through the “Sent Folder Autopsy”—a practical homework assignment you can do the moment the show ends to see exactly where you are leaking stress into your team that is creating an infection. We are going to move past the symptoms of “bad sales” and “no time” to treat the root cause: the behavior of the leader. You cannot heal the business until you heal yourself. Join me, Coach Jay Izso, for this solo “Family Meeting” edition of A New Direction.  Bring your notepad and your honesty—we are scrubbing up and performing surgery on the behaviors holding you back, and killing the infection. If you can't make the live stream, be sure to subscribe and download the episode on your favorite podcast platform. Let's take your business, and your life, in a New Direction.

The Missing Piece to Your Success As a business leader or founder, you often carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. You have the vision, the drive, and the strategy, yet sometimes it feels like you are hitting an invisible ceiling. The truth is, the biggest barrier to your company's growth isn’t usually the market or the economy—it is human behavior. As a Behavioral Strategist, I help you decode the psychological patterns that are silently sabotaging your culture, your execution, and your personal leadership. I don’t just tell you what to change; I help you understand why those behaviors exist so you can finally break through the noise and lead with absolute clarity and confidence. Your potential is limitless, but only if you are willing to look at the human element of your business through a new lens. Stop letting behavioral blind spots dictate your future and start making decisions that align your people with your purpose.

Tom Stokes, president of EpiCity Real Estate Services, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss the company's 90-year legacy in Atlanta and how its founding philosophy of stewardship translates to thoughtful development and adaptive reuse. Stewardship of the Land as a Business Philosophy Celebrating 90 years in business offers a rare opportunity to reflect on both history and progress. EpiCity's story began with founder Davis Lee Stokes, who grew up in rural Middle Georgia in the early 1900s, dependent on the land for survival. That connection left a lasting impression and continues to shape the company’s approach to development. Tom Stokes explains that his grandfather was a forward-thinking entrepreneur who embraced new ideas rather than resisting them. While today's Atlanta — particularly its technology-driven real estate environment — might feel worlds apart from the city of the 1920s, Stokes believes his grandfather would be more appreciative than surprised by how much has changed. At the core of EpiCity's longevity is a simple but powerful principle: take care of the land, and it will take care of you. While that idea once meant survival, today it reflects a broader responsibility to builders, homeowners and the communities they serve. Stokes shares that stewardship now extends beyond the company itself. By thoughtfully developing and maintaining properties, EpiCity aims to benefit the people who live and work in those spaces. “We take care of the land, not so much to take care of ourselves, but to take care of our customers and our clients, who in turn take care of us,” Stokes said. Risk & Opportunity in the Atlanta Market EpiCity's history includes bold decisions that helped shape Atlanta long before certain neighborhoods became obvious growth centers. From Marietta to Decatur to communities south of Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the company often developed in areas others considered too far out. Stokes credits that entrepreneurial instinct to his cousin and business partner, Jim LaVallee, who shares their grandfather's ability to spot opportunity through constant networking and information gathering. That willingness to listen, learn and act on emerging trends remains a defining element of the company's approach to risk and reward. Following World War II, EpiCity played a significant role in providing housing for returning veterans and the growing middle class. One of the firm's largest historical projects, the Lindmont and Morningside apartments near Lindbergh and Piedmont roads, exemplified that mission. At the time, the 510-unit development was considered one of the largest residential projects of its kind in the region. Today, it serves as a reminder that meeting real community needs has always been central to the firm's success. That legacy continues as EpiCity develops new projects in many of the same neighborhoods where its founder once built, creating continuity across generations. Adaptive Reuse Before It Was a Buzzword Adaptive reuse has become a defining focus for EpiCity, not because it is trendy, but because it often makes economic and practical sense. Stokes emphasized that many reuse projects begin by recognizing the value already embedded in existing structures. “With a building that's functional but closer to redevelopment than not, you have to figure out how to be economical and use what's there,” Stokes said. Rather than defaulting to demolition, EpiCity looks for opportunities to preserve architectural character and extend the useful life of buildings until the market supports full redevelopment. Armour Junction is an early example of that philosophy. The office loft campus is home to several Atlanta businesses and is located just steps from the Atlanta Beltline. EpiCity assembled dozens of parcels near the Beltline in its early days, including single-family homes throughout Westside neighborhoods. Today, the continued expansion of the Northeast Trail and planned future connections only enhance the value and connectivity of projects like Armour Junction, reinforcing the firm's long-term, forward-looking approach. Lessons From Market Cycles and Looking Ahead Over nine decades, EpiCity has weathered wars, economic downturns and dramatic shifts in the real estate cycle — lessons that continue to inform how the firm operates today. Stokes succinctly summed up one enduring principle: less debt is better. Maintaining financial discipline allows the company to navigate uncertainty while staying prepared for long-term opportunities. While optimistic about Atlanta's future, Stokes says EpiCity is approaching the current cycle with caution, focused on positioning itself to deliver value when opportunities arise. That mindset, grounded in gratitude and long-term thinking, continues to shape the firm's outlook. “I really thought about it, and it occurred to me, it's the company that's kept the family together,” Stokes said. “By having that extra connectivity, those of us who are invested in the business and work in the business have one more reason to be connected.” Tune in to the full episode to learn how EpiCity Real Estate Services is carrying forward a 90-year legacy of thoughtful development, adaptive reuse and land stewardship across Atlanta.

Being new in real estate is not a disadvantage — it's an opportunity. In this episode, I'm breaking the biggest myth new agents believe and sharing what actually helps brand-new Realtors win clients, even without years of experience. If you're newly licensed, feeling unsure, or wondering how to stand out when you don't have a long résumé yet, this conversation will give you clarity, confidence, and a better way forward.LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEJoin the Real Estate Bestie ListJoin the Real Estate Bestie Facebook Community ➡️ https://rosemarylewis.com/facebook

The hard truth about real estate is that getting your license doesn't prepare you to sell homes. It only makes you legally allowed to try. Pre-licensing only teaches us consumer protection. We learn nothing about lead generation, building a brand, running a database, using a CRM, or building a real business with staying power. Real estate success doesn't come from passing a test or "figuring it out as you go"; it comes from systems, support, and real education. The kind you get from strong instructors, the right broker environment, and intentionally building skills you weren't taught in the classroom. And if you think you can wing it because you're smart, you're in for a reality check.  There's a big difference between being licensed and being prepared, and the agents who stop confusing a license with readiness are the ones who don't flame out in the first few years.  And the kind of support you get matters; it has to set you up for success in today's industry, where AI and technology are no longer optional, but expected.  What do agents need to learn to succeed? What does being prepared actually look like in 2026?  In this episode, I'm joined by Craig Grant, one of the most respected voices in real estate tech and education, as we talk CRM, AI, relationships, and why the right rooms and the right training change everything.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  The license is not the skillset Pre-licensing teaches protection, not production. Why are so many agents still shocked when they get licensed and realize they have no business model in place? Your database is your pipeline (if you run it like one) A CRM isn't optional if you want longevity. What's the cost of managing your business with sticky notes and "I'll remember"? Relationships beat automation every time Automated follow-up is the minimum; friendship is the differentiator. How do you stop treating clients like transactions and start building a real connection from day one?   Guest Bio Craig Grant is a real estate instructor, course creator, coach, and technologist. Craig Grant is considered one of the most sought-after technology, marketing & cybersecurity speakers around. Whether it be at an industry event, in the classroom, or online, one thing that fuels Craig is to help today's real estate professionals embrace and get over their fear of technology so that it can work for them and not against them.

What if everything you thought you knew about homebuyers and sellers was wrong? Every year we dive into the gold mine of information inside the NAR Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers and the Member Profile for Realtors, and y'all… the 2025 data might be the most shocking yet. In this 4th annual deep dive, we're bringing you the stats that matter—and breaking down what they actually mean for your real estate business in 2026. From skyrocketing median ages to shifts in how (and if) clients are finding their agents, this episode is your go-to resource for understanding the real people buying and selling homes right now. Spoiler: they probably don't look like the people you've been marketing to. We also chat about why real estate websites are shockingly useless, who's staying in homes longer than ever, and how to stop worrying about FSBOs entirely. Plus, Katy reveals why this data can sharpen your confidence as a Realtor and even improve your listing presentations, and Alissa shares a vulnerable moment when she almost let imposter syndrome cost her a listing. Grab your coffee (or your calculator) and let's talk buyers, sellers, and the wild stats behind them. Here's what we cover in this episode: The median age of buyers and sellers (and why it matters) The shift in first-time buyer demographics How long people are staying in their homes now What agents think is causing market stagnation The #1 way buyers and sellers choose their Realtor For Sale By Owner: how many really do it, and what they lose What types of agents are thriving—and who's leaving the industry The truth about paid leads, teams, and real estate income What the data says about your social media efforts (brace yourself) Key Quotes & Takeaways "The NAR report isn't just stats. It's a confidence builder, a client education tool, and a strategy guide." – Katy "We think everyone is like us, but they're not. That's why this data is good—it bursts the bubble." – Alissa "If you're talking to the wrong people, your marketing will never work. These numbers tell us who's actually buying and selling." – Katy "Only 6% of Realtors have real estate as their first career. That means most of us are figuring this out as a second act." – Alissa "Almost 30% of agents net less than $10,000 a year.

Send me a message There's a lesson real estate agents can learn from sports fans that will either set you free… or expose exactly why you keep playing small.Because the reason you are inconsistent on Instagram, terrified to post, and constantly overthinking what to say is not the algorithm.It's not “the market.”It's not because you are “not a content person.”It's because you are worried about criticism from people who are not even in the game.In Episode 422 of the Massive Agent Podcast, I tell a story from one of my kid's after-school activities that lit me up in the worst way… and then turned into one of the most important mindset flips you can make if you want to build a brand, attract clients, and stop living in fear of what some random troll might say.If you've ever hesitated to post because you were worried someone would judge you, laugh at you, or talk trash, this episode is your intervention.Also, yes, I hit you with one of my favorite lines:Dogs don't bark at parked cars.And once you get what that really means, you're going to start posting differently.If you want the proven blueprint top agents are using to get consistent clients from social, my free masterclass is still up (for now):
