Consumers trust real estate agents with some of the biggest financial decisions of their lives. So why is public trust in the industry declining? In this episode, James Dwiggins and Keith Robinson sit down with Samson Properties CEO Donny Samson to discuss the growing credibility problem facing real estate. From private listing networks and industry infighting to confusing rules, lawsuits, and consumer perception, Donny shares why the industry may be creating many of its own trust issues. They also dive into brokerage leadership, AI, work-life balance, MLS cooperation, and what agents can do to strengthen relationships with the people who matter most: their clients.

Have you ever closed a deal only to find out you had the wrong person on the buyer rep agreement? Or listed a property without confirming who actually has legal authority to sell? This episode is your reminder that verifying identity in real estate transactions is not optional, and the stories in this one will make sure you never forget it. We are diving into a topic that sounds logistical but is actually one of the most important things you can do to protect your business: making sure you have the right signatures on the right documents from the very beginning. From buyer representation agreements to estate listings, from fraud prevention to identity verification, we are sharing real stories, real mistakes, and real solutions. Katy kicks things off with a wild story from a colleague whose buyers turned into a commission battle because a college daughter signed a buyer rep agreement with a Zillow agent while mom and dad were out of town. The result? A 50/50 commission split and a hard lesson learned. Alissa shares her own recent experience with a couple where the husband flat out refused to sign, plus the story of how a cash-paying dad showed up at closing and threw off her compliance paperwork entirely. We also get into estate sales, listing fraud on vacant land, power of attorney misconceptions, and why asking for a copy of someone's driver's license is never overstepping. Here's what we cover in this episode: - Why the buyer rep agreement is only as strong as the names on it - How to find out who will actually be on title before you start showing homes - What to do when only one party in a couple signs your buyer representation agreement - The procuring cause nightmare that the buyer rep agreement was supposed to fix - A first-hand story about a husband refusing to sign and how Alissa handled it - When a dad swoops in with cash at closing and suddenly you have the wrong buyer on paper - How to protect yourself when listing inherited or estate properties - Why you should ask for a copy of the will and contact the succession attorney before you list - What happens when a succession is not complete and your listing cannot legally sell - Vacant land fraud: the growing scam where someone pretends to be the seller - The truth about power of attorney and why you cannot do a POA for a POA - Why asking for a driver's license is not rude; it is just good business - How to use your broker as a buffer when clients push back on signing - Toasting Syed, a Realtor in Virginia who came to the US in 2022 as a US Army ally and grew from 2 transactions to 12 under contract for 2026 Key Quotes & Takeaways: - "The question isn't necessarily who's the buyer. Who do you see on the title? Who is going to be on the title?" Katy - "No one tosses up a fuss who is legit. If you say I need a copy of your driver's license and they say no, just push back. These are legal documents. I must verify your identity." Alissa - "If you cave at their first request, which goes against how you run your business, they are going to run the rest of the show." Katy - "This rep agreement is getting signed. It's the law." Alissa - "Clear, sincere communication matters more than perfect English."

This morning we're proud to feature a new episode of 'A Day In The Life' with Jessica Lopez- Eden Properties Real Estate Group in downtown Aurora. Each episode is a mini-documentary style interview with everyday Aurora professionals. Jessica is a mother and realtor and it's great to get insight about her work/life balance and experience in real estate. In this episode we tag along with Jessica for an open-house event on Aurora's west side.

Ralph talks to journalist and M.Div. Chris Hedges about Pope Leo XIV's encyclical on artificial intelligence. Then, Ralph speaks with Rick Engler (former member of the US Chemical Safety and Hazards Investigation Board) about Trump's proposed closing of that agency. Finally, Ralph pays tribute to some recently departed friends.Chris Hedges is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, who spent nearly two decades as a foreign correspondent in Central America, the Middle East, Africa and the Balkans. He is the host of The Chris Hedges Report, and he is a prolific author— his latest book is A Genocide Foretold: Reporting on Survival and Resistance in Occupied Palestine.I think that Pope Leo kind of missed the point of AI. In that he describes that it could be a positive force for Catholic education (these are his words), compassionate health care, creative platforms that tell the Christian story with truth and beauty. I think those were all indications to me that he didn't quite understand what AI is about. It's not about education, it's not about compassion, it's not about truth, and it's not about beauty. It is a very pernicious force that will go beyond, of course, replacing all sorts of labor, but creating a world where fact and fiction are blurred together.Chris HedgesI think that mass organization is kind of all we have left as we barrel towards an authoritarian state. Congress doesn't function, certainly doesn't function as Congress was designed to function. They have surrendered their traditional constitutional authority, including, of course, the call for Congress to declare war. And this kind of unitary executive branch—this was put into place, by the way, before Trump. He's just taken advantage of it…And I think that it's absolutely fundamental that we recapture that kind of militancy, that kind of organized workforce that has traditionally throughout our history been such an important corrective to democracy—along with, of course, journalism.Chris HedgesRick Engler is a former U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board member and labor advocate who founded the New Jersey Work Environment Council. He has advocated for successful landmark state and national public policies that ensure workers and the public's “right to know” about potential chemical dangers, and that promote safer processes, chemical incident prevention, and whistleblower protection.The CSB is unique. I mean, nobody would think of abolishing the National Transportation Safety Board. And no one should think about abolishing the Chemical Safety Board, which does the same thing. It's not about issuing, in this case, fines or violations. It's about trying to understand the underlying causes of what led to these incidents.Rick Engler[Trump's allies] have a certain religious fervor about this. When I talk to plant managers, the plant managers of the corporations are much more careful and nuanced in most cases. They don't want their own plants to explode. But somewhere at the higher corporate levels, I think they're just willing to take the risks that the tradeoff for them is: Trump is supporting them in so many ways, why interfere? Why become part of some nuanced opposition to the most extreme EPA attacks? But I do think the elimination of the CSB is driven by the Trump administration in a way that wouldn't be happening if it was just left to the chemical industry trade associations alone. I'm not sure that's an adequate answer. I'm actually kind of puzzled by it. Because it's also really clear that if there was any one major incident, it would cost so much money—not only in the human tragedy of the lives lost and neighbors harmed and evacuations and shelter-in-place and property damage, but these incidents destroy facilities.Rick EnglerNews 6/12/26* Our top stories this week come to us from California, where, after an excruciatingly protracted wait, authorities have finally called some of the most high-profile races. In Los Angeles, Democratic Socialist City Councilwoman Nithya Raman has secured the second slot in the mayoral race, beating out reactionary former reality television star Spencer Pratt, PBS reports. Pratt garnered significant attention from conservative media for his slick AI-generated ads and his false claims about living in an airstream trailer after his LA home burned down in the recent fires. In actuality, he was living in the posh Bel Air hotel, billed as a campaign expense, per TMZ. Now the question becomes whether or not Raman will be able to expand her coalition to unseat incumbent Mayor Karen Bass in November.* If Raman's victory is the good news however, the bad news is that Trump-endorsed Republican Steve Hilton will advance in the gubernatorial race. He will face off against former California Attorney General and Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra, who has accepted large campaign contributions from the California Association of Realtors, the California Medical Association and even Chevron, per CalMatters. This outcome means progressive billionaire Tom Steyer will not advance. Many are placing the blame for this on former Congresswoman Katie Porter, who remained in the race despite clearly failing to achieve any real viability throughout the race. This has drawn comparisons to Elizabeth Warren's perceived role as a spoiler candidate vis-a-vis Bernie Sanders in the 2020 Democratic Primary, particularly since Porter is a highly visible protégé of Senator Warren. In his concession speech, Steyer closed by telling his supporters “Pay attention. Know what you deserve, and know who is on your side. Understand who the villains are, and say their names out loud. Continue to demand more from your leaders and your government, until they give you the California – and the country – you know you deserve. I will be with you all the way.”* Elsewhere in California however, progressives scored major victories. In California's 22nd congressional district, Bernie Sanders-backed Randy Villegas secured a spot in the top two, beating out his opponent Jasmine Bains, who enjoyed the backing of AIPAC and 53 corporate donors, according to the American Prospect. He will face Republican incumbent Congressman David Valadao in November. Even more impressive is the victory of progressive challenger Mai Vang in California's 7th district primary, where she actually emerged as the top vote getter, beating out longtime incumbent Congresswoman Doris Matsui. However, because Matsui, who is 81 years old, won the second-most votes, she will still advance to the general election.* Another much-anticipated primary was held this week on the exact other end of the country. In Maine, Graham Platner trounced his opponents in the Democratic Senate race, winning over 70% of the vote despite a concerted campaign against him in the national press. In his victory speech, CNN reports Platner wrote off the smears, saying “They don't know Maine.” Furthermore, he said “If you believe, as I do, that we can change our politics, and change our country, then you must also believe that people can change…To all those who feel let down, disappointed, or disillusioned. It is my job to earn your trust, your faith, and your support. And I will spend every day of this campaign, and if I have the privilege, every day in the United States Senate, doing exactly that.” Platner will face off against five-term incumbent Senator Susan Collins in a race that will be decisive if Democrats are to have any chance of retaking the Senate in the 2026 midterms.* Turning towards the plains, two candidates are starting to show a surprising level of viability in heavily Republican, rural states. First, in Idaho, Todd Achilles is running as an independent against Republican incumbent Senator Jim Risch. Achilles served as a tank commander and armor officer in the Army before a varied career in the corporate world, education and now politics, according to Independent Voter News. The most striking development in this race is a new poll showing that while “Achilles starts out…behind by 14 points at 48-34…once voters hear biographical information about him and negative messaging about Senator Risch, he gains a full 17 points…[leading] Risch, 41% to 38%.” If accurate, this would be a stunningly close race in a state where registered Republicans outnumber registered Democrats by a margin greater than 5-to-1.* In South Dakota, Brian Bengs, another veteran turned educator – turned, in this case, National Park Ranger – is running shockingly close to incumbent Republican Senator Mike Rounds in a head-to-head matchup. According to the South Dakota Standard, the latest polling shows Rounds leading Bengs 44% to 40%, with 16% undecided. Moreover, like the Achilles poll, when voters are given biographical information about Bengs and negative messaging about Senator Rounds, that margin flips to 44% in favor of Bengs, compared to just 42% for Rounds. If these polls are accurate and independent candidates – not just Achilles and Bengs but also Dan Osborn in Nebraska and Seth Bodnar in Montana – prove viable, perhaps even victorious, in states long seen as out of reach for non-Republicans, there will have to be a serious reckoning with the toxicity of the Democratic Party brand in the American heartland.* In Michigan, progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed has picked up perhaps the most critical possible endorsement in the state: that of the United Auto Workers. In a statement, the union wrote that “UAW members in Michigan want a fighter in Washington, D.C. who isn't afraid to push forward a strong working-class agenda with moral clarity…From Medicare for All to banning stock buybacks, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is ready, eager, and well-equipped to move our core issues in the U.S. Senate.” Whether because of this endorsement or not, El-Sayed now seems to be in the driver's seat in this primary. This endorsement dovetails with UAW President Shawn Fain's rumored frustration with the mainstream labor movement for not doing more to back labor candidates, such as Clare Valdez in New York, who was a UAW organizer before entering the State Assembly.* On the House floor meanwhile, lame-duck dissident Republican Congressman Thomas Massie delivered a barn-burner of a speech this week, demanding that the government reopen the investigation into the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, Al Jazeera reports. The attack on the Liberty, a US Navy vessel, killed 34 service members and injured 171 others. For decades, Israel has claimed that this was nothing more than an accidental incident of friendly fire, but the surviving veterans have long disputed this explanation, contending that it was a deliberate attack, either as a “false flag operation or because they simply didn't want anybody observing what they were doing that day.” Massie called on the House to “give them closure…It's long overdue. And then they can have their justice.”* Looking to Latin America, the presidential election in Peru is, predictably, coming down to a razor thin margin, WLRN reports. This race, between left-wing Senator Roberto Sánchez and Keiko Fujimori, perennial presidential candidate and daughter of former dictator Alberto Fujimori, currently stands at 50.004% for Fujimori and 49.996% for Sánchez, with 98.258% of the votes tabulated. Sánchez was favored to win after the in-country votes were counted, then Fujimori pulled ahead when the votes from Miami came in, other absentee votes eroded that margin and gave Sánchez the edge once again but Fujimori has yet again pulled ahead by a hair. This is Fujimori's fourth presidential campaign, making it to the runoff each time but ultimately losing by the narrowest of margins.* Finally, in Colombia, Progressive International reports that while Colombian President Gustavo Petro presides at the United Nations Security Council, “conservative forces in the country's legislature have conspired against the constitution to ‘SUSPEND' his presidency — just 11 days from the run-off presidential election.” While Reuters adds that the proposal must be “debated and approved by all ‌16 ⁠members of the [legislative Commission of Investigation and ​Accusation] and subsequently by the Senate before it can take effect,” it is hard to see this as anything besides an opportunistic grab for power while the proverbial cat is away. Petro's four-year term ends in August; the runoff in the presidential election, between leftist Ivan Cepeda and right-wing lawyer Abelardo ​De La Espriella, will be held on ​June 21st.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

This week, Scott was joined by his Lawfare colleagues Benjamin Wittes, Michael Feinberg, and Molly Roberts to talk through the week's big news in national security, including:“Blanche Check.” DOJ may soon have a new permanent leader, as President Trump has now formally nominated Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to the role permanently. But to secure Trump's support, Blanche has indulged some of Trump's most concerning instincts, as evidenced by the attempt to establish an anti-weaponization fund for Trump allies and renewed indictments of figures like former FBI Director James Comey. Meanwhile, DOJ has seen scandal after scandal during Blanche's tenure over the rapidly declining quality and credibility of its work, exemplified most recently by evidence of grand jury tampering, arguably, in the Broadview Six prosecutions. What should we expect of DOJ under a confirmed Blanche? And how enduring will some of the harm that may result be for the department?“Tinker, Tailor, Realtor, Spy.” President Trump's decision to dual-hat Federal Housing Finance Agency director Bill Pulte—a man with no national security experience, who is best known for using his role at the FHFA to facilitate some of Trump's most transparent attacks on perceived political enemies—as Acting Director of National Intelligence has triggered strong reactions across the political spectrum. This includes a threat by congressional Democrats to kill renewal of Section 702 surveillance authorities if Pulte remains in the acting position. But Trump has thus far refused to back down. What does Pulte's appointment—and the potential expiration of Section 702—mean for national security?“Pratt Falls.” The open primary in the Los Angeles mayor's race is over, and Trump-endorsed candidate Spencer Pratt finished just outside the final two who will proceed into the general election. But U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli, a Trump loyalist, has suggested that voter fraud investigations are ongoing, leading some other Republican officials and leaders to call the results into question. What should we make of these unsubstantiated allegations? And are they a preview of what Republicans have planned for 2026? In object lessons, Mike is kraken himself up over his plans to create the ultimate toy for his child. Ben is announcing the beta release of RAGtime, the tool that he (and Claude) developed to comb through large, messy datasets. Scott is heating things up in his backyard with his new Gozney pizza oven. And Molly is quacking up about her mallard, acquired from (the now unfortunately closed) Archipelago in Maine.

But U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli, a Trump loyalist, has suggested that voter fraud investigations are ongoing, leading some other Republican officials and leaders to call the results into question. What should we make of these unsubstantiated allegations? And are they a preview of what Republicans have planned for 2026? In object lessons, Mike is kraken himself up over his plans to create the ultimate toy for his child. Ben is announcing the beta release of RAGtime, the tool that he (and Claude) developed to comb through large, messy datasets. Scott is heating things up in his backyard with his new Gozney pizza oven. And Molly is quacking up about her mallard, acquired from (the now unfortunately closed) Archipelago in Maine.

A welcome silver lining in what has recently been a bleak housing market. Sales of previously owned homes jumped more than expected in May... posting an unexpected three-point-two percent increase month-over-month. That was the highest rate of sales we've seen since December. And according to the National Association of Realtors, it was the best month for first-time homebuyers since June 2020... with thirty-five percent of all purchases coming from people buying their very first home. But while that is impressive... mortgage rates remain stubbornly high, even ticking up again this week according to Freddie Mac. So, what should we take away from these mixed signals... and what can we expect in the months ahead? Realtor.com Chief Economist Danielle Hale joins FOX Business' Gerri Willis to break down the housing market, letting buyers and sellers know what they need to know. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of the Loan Officer Podcast, host Dustin Owen sits down with guest Marketing Mike, alongside producer Karina "Special K", for an in-depth discussion on the power and potential of programmatic marketing specifically tailored for mortgage loan originators, real estate agents, insurance agents, and title companies. Together, they break down how professionals in these industries can leverage advanced digital advertising platforms, such as Google and Meta (Facebook & Instagram), to reach their ideal audiences and generate high-quality leads. The conversation covers practical strategies for targeting referral partners, including the use of educational webinars and value-driven content to build trust and engagement. They also dive into the mechanics of retargeting, explaining how to stay top-of-mind with prospects who have already interacted with your brand online. Throughout the episode, Dustin, Mike, and Karina highlight several key takeaways for listeners looking to implement programmatic marketing in their own businesses. They stress the critical importance of developing compelling creative assets, such as eye-catching graphics and persuasive ad copy, to capture attention in a crowded digital landscape. The trio also discusses the value of niche targeting, encouraging professionals to define their ideal client profiles and tailor their messaging accordingly for maximum impact. Budgeting is another focal point, with realistic expectations set around the investment required to see meaningful results from programmatic campaigns. Importantly, the hosts emphasize that programmatic marketing is not a quick fix or a standalone solution. Instead, it works most effectively when used to supplement and enhance an existing referral-based business model. Success requires patience, consistent effort, and a willingness to test and refine strategies over several months. By combining digital marketing with strong relationship-building practices, mortgage and real estate professionals can create a sustainable pipeline of leads and long-term growth.

In this relaunch episode, I'm sharing the story behind the pivot: why I outgrew my own brand, what it really means to build before you're ready, and why I'm no longer interested in fitting myself into spaces built for an earlier version of who I was. I'm also opening up about the year I've been having: welcoming our son Archer Hayes in October 2025, navigating postpartum recovery, my husband Alex joining the business full time, running Dweller: Staging & Design LLC through one of our busiest seasons yet, the book I wrote but have not released, and a home renovation that's been equal parts dream and chaos. This episode is an open door — an honest, grounded introduction to what this podcast is, who it's for, and what's coming next. What to expect going forward on The Homebody Collective: real conversations with real estate professionals, women entrepreneurs, and business owners across South Central Pennsylvania. Less highlight reel. More messy middle. Stories about staging, design, motherhood, gender roles in business, and building a life that actually fits who you're becoming. If you've ever felt like you were evolving faster than the containers built for an earlier version of yourself — you're in the right place.

A 4-Step Process to Stop Stressing and Your Team Start Leading What if the exact habits that built your success are now the very thing quietly holding your business back? You hustled, you solved every problem, you held the standard — and it worked, so it became automatic. But somewhere along the way the company stopped being able to run without you, your talented team stopped stepping up, and you started wondering why working harder only makes the wheel spin faster. If any of that lands a little too close to home, this week's conversation is for you. In this episode of  A New Direction, we dig into The High-Altitude Entrepreneur with Chris Clearfield — and this episode is about you, not just the book. You'll discover why what got you here won't get you there, why all your systems still leave you trapped at the center, and the uncomfortable truth that your team won't take ownership until you stop jumping in. We even go into the brain science of it: how “predictive processing” keeps you reacting on autopilot to problems you haven't even really looked at yet — and why that's the real reason willpower never broke the cycle. Most importantly, you'll walk away with a way out. We'll unpack the shift from low-altitude founder — reactive, indispensable, exhausted — to high-altitude leader who rises above the chaos, sees the whole system, and finally lets the business grow beyond them. You'll learn how to spot the conditioned instinct that's capping your growth, how to hand your team real ownership, and why personal freedom isn't the reward you earn after success — it's the precondition that makes success possible in the first place. Join us and come ready to see your own patterns clearly, bring the questions you've been afraid to ask out loud, and bring a fellow founder who needs to hear it too.

Now you are under even more stress. Your frustrated. You feel more burned out than ever.  You may even slump into depression. You think your people are lazy. They’re not the problem.  You see what got you there at the beginning was great!  But now that your business is grown, what once got you there, isn’t going to get you there now.  You don’t need to do different you need to “be” different.

The conversations go deep. We talk about the decisions that built companies, the mistakes that nearly destroyed them, and the personal breakthroughs that changed everything. But here's what most people don't know about me: the show is an extension of the work I do every day with executives behind closed doors. Who I Am I'm an Executive Performance Coach. I work with CEOs and founders of $5M-$50M companies who have hit a wall they can't explain. The marketing looks fine. The team is capable. The market is there. But the business won't move. The problem, almost every time, is the person running it. I find the personal behavioral patterns that are driving the business dysfunction. Then I help the CEO disrupt those patterns so the company can grow. That's it. No motivational platitudes. No vision boards. Diagnostics, intervention, results. Where This Comes From My approach comes from two places most coaches never set foot in. The farm. I grew up as a farmhand in Ithaca, Nebraska—population 100. I started working at nine years old. By the time I left for college, I'd spent a decade learning that you can't cheat the harvest, pain is part of the job, and the work has to get done whether you feel like it or not. I was fourteen the first time I had to castrate boars. Nobody was going to do it for me. That lesson never left: sometimes you have to do things afraid. The forensic psychology unit. In graduate school at Washington State University, I trained under Dr. Thomas Brigham—co-author of the Handbook of Applied Behavior Analysis—in a human behavior lab focused on real-world problems. I then served in a Clinical Psych II role at Eastern State Hospital in Medical Lake, Washington, a forensic setting where I conducted psychological evaluations of individuals charged with the most serious criminal offenses. Sixteen months assessing human behavior at its most extreme taught me how to cut through defenses, identify what's really driving someone's decisions, and see what they can't see in themselves.

While much of the housing conversation in 2026 has focused on slower sales, elevated mortgage rates and affordability challenges, industry leaders say a bigger issue is emerging behind the scenes: a future housing supply shortage.  Tim Arnold of D.R. Horton, Cara Lavender of John Burns Research and Consulting and Jim Jacobi of Parkland Communities, join host Carol Morgan on Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio for a mid-year market update on looming lot shortages, zoning challenges, affordability concerns and the factors shaping housing supply across metro Atlanta.  The Biggest Housing Story Nobody Is Talking About  “In my opinion, the biggest secret in housing today is the lack of new zonings that are occurring,” said Jacobi.  He explained that numerous municipalities have either implemented zoning moratoriums or significantly slowed approvals, creating a development pipeline problem that could emerge over the next several years. Although today’s market remains slower than the pandemic-era housing boom, builders continue selling homes and working through existing lot inventories. The challenge is that many communities are not approving enough future projects to replace what is currently being built.  “People probably do not recognize what is happening out there with the lot supply market,” said Arnold. “There is going to be a struggle for folks to get lot supply.”  Labor and Building Capacity Could Become the Next Challenge  With in-migration at historically low levels and major infrastructure projects such as data centers competing for skilled trades, Lavender said labor constraints could quickly become a concern if housing demand accelerates.  “If a demand faucet turns on, do we have the lots available?” she said. “But in that same breath, do we have the labor and the building products capacity available to support an uptick in production?”  Slower production volumes have helped ease labor pressures. However, the industry may not be prepared to rapidly increase construction activity if market conditions improve.  Spring Selling Season Falls Short of Expectations  While future supply concerns remain top of mind, today’s housing market continues to face near-term challenges. Lavender described the spring selling season as “underwhelming.” Uncertain demand and hesitant consumers continue to weigh on market performance. Builders are maintaining sales through pricing strategies and incentives, but those efforts are coming at the expense of profit margins.  Senate Bill 447 Could Improve Georgia’s Permitting Process  Senate Bill 447 could provide a welcome boost for Georgia’s housing industry by improving transparency and accountability in the permitting process. The legislation increases visibility into permit reviews, requires written explanations for permit denials and establishes timelines for local governments to respond to applications. It could also help reduce delays that often add significant costs to housing projects.  “It’ll speed up the building and land development permits,” said Arnold.  Build-to-Rent Gains Recognition as an Asset Class  Federal housing legislation could significantly affect the build-to-rent sector. Proposed revisions to the Road to Housing Act would provide greater certainty for investors and developers while reinforcing build-to-rent’s role in the broader housing market. One of the most notable aspects of the legislation is its recognition of build-to-rent as a distinct asset class, a change that could strengthen investor confidence and support additional capital investment. Greater certainty and increased investment could help expand housing supply by encouraging additional build-to-rent development in high-demand markets.  Gwinnett County Offers a Warning Sign  From January through April 2025, unincorporated Gwinnett County issued approximately 2,800 new home permits. During that same period, local officials approved zoning for only about 1,400 future housing units.  “So they only zoned about half as many lots as what has been built in the same time period,” said Jacobi.  This imbalance raises questions about where future housing inventory will come from if current approval trends continue. Ongoing zoning moratoriums, elevated land costs and community opposition to new development could further constrain housing supply and place additional pressure on affordability.  Tune in next week for Part 2 of this market update, where the panel takes a deeper look at affordability, infrastructure challenges and what housing leaders expect over the next several years.  About Parkland Communities  Parkland Communities, Inc., the parent company of build-to-rent home builder, Parkland Residential, is a privately owned, multifaceted real estate development and investment firm specializing in residential properties.

In this episode, we break down the newest National Association of Realtors report, rising inventory, home prices, first-time buyer activity, and what this could mean for the 2026 housing market. Is buyer demand finally returning, or was this just a temporary boost from lower spring mortgage rates? We also discuss affordability, pending sales trends, and whether the real estate market is beginning to stabilize nationally.

Between that and first-time homebuyers continuing to struggle, what kinds of things can we make out of this more wishy-washy housing market? For answers, Inside Sources is joined by Russell Faucette, co-founder of The Stern Team of Omada Real Estate.

In this episode, Brian Icenhower breaks down the full online lead funnel for real estate agents, team leaders, and broker-owners — from the cheapest, lowest-converting social media leads all the way up to the highest-quality Google local service ad leads. Brian is joined by two coaching clients who share how they're putting this framework into practice, including a game-changing way they're using AI to personalize lead follow-up at scale. What You'll Learn: Why online leads should supplement your SOI — never replace it The 4 main categories of online leads and how they differ in quality, cost, and conversion rate Facebook/Instagram lead ads: why 1–2% conversion is actually doing well, and why these skew almost entirely buyer-heavy Google PPC leads: a step up in intent, but still conversion-heavy on follow-up Portal leads (Zillow, Realtor.com, Veterans United): referral fees up to 40%, but conversion rates of 12–20%+ — and why the follow-up call is more customer service than sales Why Veterans United is one of the fastest-growing lead sources ICT clients are using right now Why Google Business Profile is the most underutilized asset in real estate — and why AI search results lean heavily on it How YouTube content, Google reviews, and consistent profile updates directly impact your ranking in both Google and AI-generated results The 90+ pay-per-close referral platforms ICT coaches help clients register on in the first few sessions How two coaching clients are using Read AI + ChatGPT to build fully customized drip follow-up sequences from recorded lead conversations — in minutes Key Takeaways: Speed to lead is non-negotiable. Portal lead sources like Zillow and Veterans United require fast response — if you're not converting, you'll stop receiving leads. 75% of business from Facebook and Google PPC leads comes after 7+ follow-up attempts. Don't cherry-pick. Your Google Business Profile is not optional. Post to it like a social channel, stack it with reviews, and keep it updated — that's what AI is reading. A customized ChatGPT (paid version, real estate-trained) plus an AI note-taker like Read AI can automate personalized follow-up at a level most agents can't achieve manually. Online leads are growing year over year. Agents and leaders who learn to convert them now will have a massive advantage.     Book a FREE coaching call: http://CoachCallFree.com Enroll in our online courses: http://www.IcenhowerInstitute.com Sign up for coaching: http://www.IcenhowerCoaching.com Sign up for an Agent Management Portal: http://AgentManagementPortal.com Join the fastest growing Facebook Group for Top Producers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/REagentRoundTable

Send me a message AI might be the worst thing that's ever happened to your content!That's not a knock on AI. It's a knock on how most agents are using AI to create content. If you don't already know how to write a hook, write great scripts, and sound like a real human being, AI isn't going to save you. It will actually help you produce bad content even faster. Bad, sloppy content posted consistently doesn't build your brand, it potentially destroys it.This episode is the wake-up call a lot of you need but probably don't want to hear.In this episode:Why AI is a credibility killer if you skip the foundation of knowing how to create good content firstThe dead giveaway phrases that scream AI and make your audience tune out instantlyWhy you can't identify garbage output if you don't know what good looks likeThe exact process to train AI to write like you, not like a robotHow to use AI as a collaboration partner instead of a crutchWhy agents who are winning with AI already knew how to create great content before they ever opened Claude or ChatGPTThe honest truth: you're better off posting nothing than posting generic AI slop

Nobody hands you a time management plan when you get your real estate license. But from day one, your broker, other agents, clients, and your own habits will pull at your hours. If you do not have a plan to protect your time, you will stay busy every single day and still wonder why your business is not growing.In this video I'm breaking down how to run your schedule like a CEO: who is stealing your time without you realizing it, how to time block your week around what actually makes you money, and how to say no without burning a relationship.This is Part 3 of my series: Things Nobody Tells You About Being a Realtor.What I cover: Why busy is not the same as productive, the four main time thieves in a realtor's life, how to time block your week, the one-line script for saying no, and the faith perspective on stewarding your time well.

We've all forgotten something at the worst possible moment. (Alissa forgot $150 worth of Mother's Day cakes at the bakery.) Forgetting a cake stings. Forgetting to check FHA loan requirements for a distressed property can cost your buyer over $1,000 they don't have. That's the difference between a personal mistake and a professional one, and that's exactly what we're digging into today.   This episode is all about the mistakes new Realtors make, not the business setup kind, but the ones that happen in the middle of real transactions with real buyers and sellers. We received a message asking us to cover this, so here we are. Consider this your friendly but firm reminder that learning on the job at your clients' expense is not a plan.   In this episode we cover:   Not understanding pre-approval terms or being afraid to talk about money with clients Why leaving financing blanks on a purchase agreement is a serious problem The importance of knowing common loan types (FHA, VA, RD, conventional) and their requirements Not asking for help and winging transactions instead of going to your broker Why Facebook groups are not a substitute for your broker's guidance Letting buyers run the show during due diligence instead of setting expectations The "3 S's" framework: safety, structure, and systems for home inspection guidance HOA due diligence: what agents miss and why it matters more than ever Understanding occupancy and why you can't negotiate it after the fact Panic canceling instead of problem-solving during due diligence Saying yes to every client (and why that's hurting you, not helping you) Hiding behind texts and emails when the situation calls for a phone call Taking everything personally and what it costs you long term Real stories: the mold case, the missing refrigerator, and the agent who told his clients to sue him   Key Quotes & Takeaways:   "If you are not comfortable talking about money, you are not ready to have a client." Alissa "When an agent feels frustrated by something, instead of being frustrated at the client, they need to say: I guess I didn't explain that." Alissa "You don't need to be over there cleaning their house until 10 o'clock at night. You can't want to sell the house more than they do." Alissa "I can't count the number of people that didn't use me in my first five years that I have done so much business with in the last ten years, because I did not burn the bridge." Alissa "It's not okay to learn on the job at the expense of your buyers and sellers. You have to take this seriously."
