In this episode of the Creator Method Podcast, Gary sits down with Courtney Smith, a top-producing Toronto real estate agent and early Creator Method member, to unpack how consistent content creation turned cold leads into real business, including a $10M listing that came directly through Instagram DMs. Known for building a trusted personal brand alongside her real estate business, Courtney shares how confidence, clarity, and long-term commitment transformed both her content and career. Together, they break down why content works differently for service-based businesses, how personal brand builds trust before a single conversation happens, and why most people quit long before content has a chance to compound. Courtney opens up about facing criticism and pushback for showing up online, how she stayed consistent anyway, and what shifted when she stopped chasing virality and focused on connection instead. They explore the realities of content creation in real estate, turning visibility into leverage, and how showing up imperfectly can outperform polished strategies that lack personality. Gary challenges Courtney with real-time feedback on format, discipline, and distribution, revealing why clarity and repetition matter more than hacks, trends, or aesthetics. This conversation is a grounded, practical look at how content compounds over time, how trust converts into opportunity, and why playing the long game is the real advantage. If you are a creator, entrepreneur, or service professional looking to turn attention into action and build a brand that actually drives results, this episode will change how you think about consistency, confidence, and growth.

In today's market, loan officers aren't losing deals because they don't work hard. They're losing deals because they're still being positioned like rate quote providers instead of trusted advisors. And when rates move, many are getting crushed by chaos; overbooked calendars, endless “quick questions,” and missed opportunities that should have turned into momentum.In this episode of The 360 Experience Podcast, Tim Braheem sits down with Justin Padron, one of the top-producing mortgage advisors at NEO Home Loans. Justin is on pace to fund roughly 140 loans and $70M+ in volume this year, with the majority of his business coming from purchase transactions in a tough market…and he's doing it without competing on rate.Top Takeaways for Loan Officers:1️⃣ How leading with education, strategy, and clear guidance (before numbers) reframes you from a commodity into an advisor buyers trust to help them make confident financial decisions, even in a high-rate environment.2️⃣ How to set a client-chosen strike rate during a post-closing consult and actively monitor it, allowing you to create a predictable refi pipeline that produces volume when rates move without relying on luck or last-minute scrambling.3️⃣ Tips for proactively explaining exactly what happens when the strike rate hits (who contacts them, what documents are needed, and when to move forward) to dramatically reduce unnecessary calls while increasing execution speed.4️⃣ Why the “three outcomes” framework (rates go up, stay flat, or go down) combined with tools like no-cost refinances and lender-subsidized 2-1 buydowns gives buyers a clear path forward in every scenario.5️⃣ Justin's consultative presentation process that helps Realtors close buyers they've been stuck with for months, positioning you as the partner who makes agents more money.If you're tired of being compared to credit unions, overwhelmed when opportunity finally shows up, or feeling like you're working harder than ever for the same results, this conversation will give you a clear blueprint to level up your conversion, your confidence, and your income._________________________________________________________________ABOUT TIM BRAHEEMWith more than 25 years of experience as a highly successful mortgage professional, industry leader, educator, and life coach, Tim Braheem is committed to engaging with people on a deep level and helping them uncover the barriers they have placed in the way of having the level of success they deserve in both their business and personal lives.FOLLOW Instagram ► https://www.instagram.com/tbraheem/LinkedIn ► https://www.linkedin.com/in/timbraheemTHE LOAN ATLASJOIN ► https://go.theloanatlas.com/membership FOLLOWInstagram ► https://www.instagram.com/theloanatlas/YOUTUBE ► https://www.youtube.com/@LoanAtlas----------

Growth may be booming across Georgia, yet getting new housing approved often feels like running an obstacle course designed by politics, not policy. Simon Bloom, founding partner of Bloom Parham LLP, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to pull back the curtain on the zoning battles shaping what gets built, where and at what cost. During this episode on “Unbridled Politics,” he will discuss the political and procedural challenges shaping zoning and land use in Georgia. Drawing on decades of experience representing builders and developers, he explains why projects often get caught in red tape, why build-to-rent (BTR) housing is targeted and how Georgia's fragmented local government contributes to inefficiency and higher housing costs. How Politics and Public Input Affect Development Bloom emphasized that zoning decisions in Georgia are driven less by technical merit than by politics: “If a politician or public official wants your project, it’s going to go forward,” said Bloom. “And if he or she doesn’t, it isn’t. The merits sometimes get lost in just a matter of pure politics.” Developers face a range of hurdles, from rezoning denials to conditional-use permits and administrative slowdowns. Routine actions, such as delaying final plats or withholding building permits, can derail projects entirely. Litigation is sometimes necessary, not as a first resort, but to ensure local governments follow proper procedures. Public opposition adds another layer of complexity. Organized neighborhood groups and homeowners now have unprecedented access to local meetings through streaming platforms and social media. While this transparency increases accountability, it can also make officials more cautious, further complicating development efforts. Why Build-to-Rent Projects Face Extra Hurdles Build-to-rent (BTR) projects face particular scrutiny, even as the demand for affordable rental housing continues to grow. “The cities and counties that say they need affordable housing are doing everything in their power to make it unaffordable and causing gentrification,” said Bloom. “They are driving the folks that they want to be living in their communities out into ‘the sticks.'” Part of the paradox lies in administrative inefficiencies and local mandates that increase cost and complexity. For example, some counties require side-entry garages in high-density developments—a design choice that increases lot sizes and, in turn, raises prices for buyers and renters. Add to that the need for detailed engineering studies, repeated public hearings and permit fees, and BTR builders and developers face substantial “chase costs” long before construction begins. Legislative solutions to streamline zoning and clarify local requirements have progressed slowly. Efforts to limit local control over architectural standards or to prevent bans on BTR have made modest gains. State lawmakers often consider input from local governments, which influences the pace and scope of reforms. Meanwhile, impact fees—sometimes adding thousands of dollars to individual projects—remain a factor that can increase costs and create differences across communities. On a larger scale, Bloom identifies Georgia's large number of local governments as a source of inefficiency. The state has 159 counties and 500 cities, each with separate planning departments, zoning boards and codes. This patchwork of rules forces engineers, lawyers and developers to navigate vastly different requirements across municipalities, slowing housing production and driving up costs. Navigating the Zoning Landscape Bloom encourages builders and developers to engage early with district commissioners or council members and maintain transparent communication with neighbors and planning staff. Understanding how “district-friendly” voting works, where council members often follow the lead of their district commissioner, can help projects move forward more efficiently. Bloom said, “Without your district commissioner championing your rezoning, your chances of success are much lower.” Tune in to the full episode to hear Simon Bloom discuss how politics and local regulations shape Georgia housing zoning and to learn what builders and developers can do to navigate these challenges.

In this episode, my guest is Allan Dalton, former CEO of Realtor.com and author of Agent to AIgent, about how AI is changing the economics of real estate. Allan explains why agents must shift from transactional work to consultative, in-home advisory roles as consumers increasingly use AI first. The conversation explores the loyalty gap, the move from search to seek, and why mindset and relationship-building matter more than ever in an AI-driven market.

Success wasn't the problem. The structure behind it was.Right now, many successful real estate agents are quietly leaving the industry — not because they failed, but because the business they built couldn't sustain the market shift.During the COVID years, real estate created a perfect storm for agents. Demand was high. Inventory was low. Speed mattered more than systems. Many agents earned more than ever before — but their business was built almost entirely on new transactions, not repeat clients or referrals.When the market slowed, the income changed faster than the structure did.In this episode, I break down why so many high-performing agents are stepping away right when they were close, what actually caused burnout, and why this moment doesn't mean starting over — it means rebuilding with intention.This isn't about hustle.It's not about motivation.And it's definitely not about failure.It's about sustainability.In this episode, we cover:The difference between agents who “can't hack it” and agents who quietly exit after successHow the COVID-era market rewarded speed over structureWhy businesses built on constant new business don't compoundHow burnout becomes a structural problem, not a personal oneWhy repeat and referral systems are still available — and often overlookedIf your business once worked but now feels fragile…If the income changed but the expenses didn't…If you're questioning whether this industry is still sustainable for you…This video is for you.This episode is part of the What Agents Need to Succeed in 2026 series — focused on clarity, stability, and longevity in a changing market.

They dive deep into the dangers of current AI platforms like ChatGPT—which Sean argues are designed for addiction rather than truth—and how he is building a competitive, objective alternative.

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.

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.

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?
