Podcasts about Sellers

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. We have to stop telling new agents that success is instant." – Katy Products, People & Previous Episodes Mentioned: Email Templates 101 Agent Systems 101 FREE Database Template Want to toast someone on the show?

Buyers just got even more in control, and it's excellent news for investors. Homes are now sitting on the market for the longest time in a decade, with sellers accepting thousands less than their original list price. For those who have been waiting to buy their first or next investment property, this could be the sign that it's time to get in the game. But, with mortgage rates (slowly) coming down, will this window of opportunity last months or mere weeks? We're back with our January 2026 housing market update! Dave is getting into it all—mortgage rates, inventory, demand, and why investors are becoming so bullish heading into this new year. Think there's a housing crash on the way? Dave does his favorite thing—looks at data instead of guessing—to show some clear signs that those hoping for a crash will (unfortunately for them) be waiting quite a while. Demand is growing (steadily), and hungry homebuyers are itching to get back into the market. How much time do we have before steady appreciation returns? Stick around, we're getting into it in this housing market update! In This Episode We Cover Sellers are accepting less: How much should you be bidding on houses?  The best (and worst) housing markets in America (updated) Growing buyer demand and signs that the housing market (probably) won't crash Why mortgage rates reversed after falling below 6% earlier this month  Why investors are getting so bullish about rental properties in 2026  And So Much More!

What should you be posting on LinkedIn, and what should you avoid? In this episode, I share three LinkedIn posts sellers can use right away. Posting the right content on LinkedIn can help you book more appointments and grow your pipeline.Why You Should Be Posting on LinkedInIf you are not posting on LinkedIn, you are missing a real opportunity to stand out. Only a small percentage of users create content, which means authentic posts are far more likely to get noticed. Instead of worrying about being judged or feeling like you need to be an expert, I want you to see LinkedIn as a place to engage your niche market and start real conversations.Three Types of LinkedIn Posts That WorkMistakes and Lessons Learned: One of the easiest ways to create content is by sharing mistakes and lessons from your own experience. Talking about what went wrong and what you learned makes your posts relatable and builds trust. When you are honest and a little vulnerable, people are more likely to engage and respond.Personal Insights: You do not have to talk about sales all the time. Sharing personal insights like hobbies, challenges, or goals helps people connect with you as a person. Whether it is working on your golf game or focusing on better health, these posts humanize you and often lead to stronger conversations with prospects.Industry Trends and Data: Posting about industry trends or data gives your audience something valuable to think about. Share insights you are seeing in the field or information from reports you trust. When you consistently bring useful information to your network, you position yourself as a resource and stay top of mind with potential buyers."Thanks to the COVID era, people want to know you on a personal level. They want to see your personality online." - Donald KellyResourcesSign up for free and download the Sales Evangelist Tracker to monitor your sales KPIs, measure performance, and stay accountable to your daily activity.Join the LinkedIn Prospecting Course to improve how you use LinkedIn and book more consistent, high-quality sales appointments.Visit Blue Mango Studios for help in creating podcast production content.

Injuries to OEL, Brandon Carlo, and long-term absences like Chris Tanev have likely forced Brad Treliving’s hand in Toronto. Jackson Lacombe being named Seth Jones’ replacement on the United States Olympic Team may have raised some eyebrows—especially with Canada and Sweden delaying decisions—and sparked debate over why Lane Hutson wasn’t chosen instead. In New Jersey, Luke Hughes’ injury further complicates the New Jersey Devils season, potentially pushing Dougie Hamilton decisions to the deadline. The Anaheim Ducks appear back on track after a typical young-team swoon, while the San Jose Sharks continue their feel-good season after adding Kiefer Sherwood—though Ray cautions their defence may lag behind their forwards come playoff time. Buyers and sellers emerging in the West; Utah, Seattle, St. Louis, LA and Winnipeg all with big decisions to make.

When a home isn't selling, it is easy to blame marketing, photos, showings, or the market. But often, the biggest obstacle isn't any of those things. It may simply be "the seller may be the highest bidder on their own home". This conversation isn't about blame or pressure. It's about clarity. You'll learn how pricing becomes emotional, why sellers often anchor to past value or future hopes, and how great agents help sellers see the market clearly—without damaging trust or relationships. This conversation gets into: What it really means when a home isn't getting traction Why sellers sometimes “outbid” the market without realizing it How to reframe price conversations with empathy and confidence The difference between supporting a seller and enabling denial How honest guidance builds long-term credibility and referrals This episode is for agents who want to lead with professionalism, courage, and care—especially when conversations get uncomfortable.

President Trump announced a plan to deploy $200 billion from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into mortgage-backed securities — a move designed to push mortgage rates lower and improve housing affordability. In this episode of Tom's Take, I break down how mortgage bonds actually impact rates, why we briefly saw rates dip below 6%, and what this could mean for buyers and sellers heading into 2026. We'll also cover why this may be short-term relief, what to watch with inventory and competition, and why early movers often have an advantage when rates shift before the crowd reacts.

Sellers often rely on politeness and flexibility to build rapport, but this episode challenges the idea that likability equals trust. Brandon breaks down the difference between politeness and authority, why agreeable sellers get stalled in “maybe” territory, and how protecting comfort often delays real decisions.You'll learn how to challenge buyers without creating conflict, how to hold structure in conversations, and why guidance builds trust faster than agreement. If your deals feel friendly but slow, this episode shows what to change.

Julie Holmes is a renowned AI expert, inventor, and tech entrepreneur who's with me on the show to discuss how AI is reshaping the buyer-seller dynamic. She shares her expertise on how to manage when AI-empowered buyers are more informed (and sometimes misinformed), making the salesperson's role as both educator and "un-educator" more vital than ever. Julie breaks down how sales pros can leverage AI to boost efficiency and personalize their approach while preserving the irreplaceable human skills of motivation, determination, and empathy. Julie reveals her "20-60-20" framework for becoming AI empowered, not just an AI user, and gives real-world examples of how blending AI with human expertise creates better outcomes for both buyers and sellers. If you're looking to embrace AI while maintaining integrity, humanity, and the consultative spirit of great selling, this episode is for you! Outline of This Episode 00:00 AI's impact on buyer behavior. 07:21 AI tools for sales impact. 11:53 Collaborating effectively using AI. 14:15 AI misconceptions and questions. 16:25 Maintaining your sales edge. 19:57 Balancing AI and human connection. 25:08 Building trust through AI. AI Can Mirror Sentiment, But It Can't Mean It One of the most striking shifts in the sales process is that buyers now arrive more informed, often armed with research and recommendations generated by AI tools. However, with this information comes a greater risk of misconception. Today's sales professionals must not only educate but also "uneducate" buyers, correcting misinformation before moving forward. This increases vendors' responsibility to provide clarity and guidance, effectively making the salesperson both a subject-matter expert and a myth-buster. While AI can enrich the initial dialogue, it's up to humans to ensure accuracy and build genuine trust. AI-Powered Preparation and Human Skills That Still Matter AI isn't just changing buyer behavior, it's revolutionizing how sellers prepare for conversations. Rather than spending hours collecting information, sales professionals can now use AI for pre-call intelligence, rapidly gathering relevant data on prospects and industries. Julie shares how she uses a chatbot for a six-factor framework, analyzing what's happening before, after, inside, and outside, and identifying what the prospect needs more or less of. This allows for more meaningful conversations, less time lost to research, and greater focus on strategy. Human skills remain irreplaceable, particularly when we think about motivation and empathy. Sellers must take the initiative to use AI as a tool, not a crutch, and most importantly, empathy enables salespeople to read emotional nuances, office politics, and subtleties that AI can't quite capture, proving that the emotional layer of every deal is still fundamentally human. Leveraging AI Without Losing Yourself Julie outlines three powerful strategies that sales teams use AI to boost efficiency and effectiveness without sounding robotic or impersonal.  Pre-Call Intelligence: Harnessing AI to analyze prospects and markets before meetings, so sellers are prepared and focused. Proposal Enhancement: Using AI to break through "blank page syndrome" with draft emails or proposals, then tailoring content for tone and context based on transcripts and prior interactions. Real-Time Practice: Employing AI to role-play sales conversations, allowing reps to rehearse handling objections and refine messaging before high-stakes calls. The secret isn't in delegating authenticity to AI, but rather in using technology to amplify your own understanding, creativity, and responsiveness. Human Judgment is the Deciding Factor Even with advanced AI tools, human judgment plays a central role in guiding insights, making strategic decisions, and building relationships. The distinction between being an "AI user" and being "AI empowered" hinges on critical thinking. Empowered sellers don't outsource decision-making, they use AI to supplement their intuition and discernment, applying context where it matters most. Her 20/60/20 rule puts it succinctly: spend 20% of your time thoughtfully prompting and guiding AI, let it do 60% of the heavy lifting, then use the final 20% to filter, personalize, and enhance the output. Sales teams often stumble with three core misconceptions about AI: Believing it's "plug and play" and mistaking quantity of data for quality. Worrying that AI will make their work less authentic (when, in fact, bad prompting is the real culprit). Fearing the loss of their competitive edge or creativity. The antidote is hands-on AI literacy, combined with ongoing development of relationship-building, communication, and problem-solving skills. Sales leaders should focus on balancing automation with moments of critical human connection to maximize both speed and impact. AI should be viewed not as a replacement for human expertise, but as an empowerment tool that elevates sales professionals. As Julie says, "Be great at what you do, use AI to support that, become AI empowered, and be a better salesperson who is delivering better service with the use of technology."

When many entrepreneurs go to sell their business, they're more focused on their business than on the buyer. Understanding how buyers approach an acquisition, particularly when it comes to funding and deal structure, can help you position your business for the most profitable exit. In this episode of The Opportunity podcast, Greg breaks down how buyers actually think when evaluating an acquisition and why financing plays such a critical role in deal outcomes. While sellers often fixate on valuation, buyers are just as focused on how they will pay for the business and how much risk they are taking on. Greg walks us through how SBA loans can allow buyers to bring more cash to the table, and why small mistakes with these loans by sellers often cause deals to fall apart. He also explores alternative funding options like revenue-based financing and how buyers use leverage and other people's money to acquire businesses more efficiently. The conversation dives into seller financing and earnouts, not as compromises, but as powerful deal-making tools that can expand the buyer pool and unlock higher overall valuations.

ABOUT BOTTOM OF THE PYRAMIDYoung dancer Nia Sioux was only nine years old when she stepped into stardom as one of the original cast members of Lifetime's reality TV show Dance Moms. Nia learned new choreography week after week and competed against dancers from across the country as well as at her own studio. Perhaps her greatest obstacle was suffering through her dance teacher's ranking of the girls against each other in her infamous pyramid, where Nia spent the majority of her time on the bottom-all in front of an audience of millions.But there was much that viewers didn't see. How her experiences in the studio went far beyond what made it into the show. How she was ostracized for not fitting into an aesthetic that wasn't designed for girls like her. How her friendships and her mental health crumbled under the strain of the show. How she lost control of her story and her voice.But don't be fooled-this is a story about resilience. Nia is not looking for pity, sympathy, or validation as she reflects on her experiences. Instead, she is choosing to use her story as a celebration of triumph. Nia finally gets to tell her story in her own way and in her own words. In this captivating memoir, Nia reclaims both the spotlight and her narrative. In addition to going behind the scenes of the seven seasons of Dance Moms, she shows how she fought against the negative perceptions that dominated her tween and teen years and emerged as a confident young woman secure in her talents and her direction. Anyone who has ever felt misunderstood, overlooked, or stuck at the bottom of the pyramid will be inspired by Nia's story of overcoming. "Despite barriers and constant naysayers, assumptions and criticisms, only you know who you are inside and out," Nia says. "And you have the power to create your own narrative, your own level of success."Nia provides a unique perspective on:. Overcoming Adversity: From navigating the toxic environment of competitive dance and reality TV to her harrowing battle with Reflex Neurovascular Dystrophy (RND).. Confronting Racism & Body Shaming: Nia speaks candidly about being the only Black girl on the team, facing microaggressions, and the constant pressure that impacted her self-worth.. Inspiring a Generation: The book is a powerful message for young people, especially young Black girls, about knowing your value, protecting your peace, and pursuing your dreams unapologetically. ABOUT NIA SIOUXNia Sioux is a dancer, singer, and actress who has performed on the small screen and in live performances, proving to be one of today's most popular triple threats.

When many entrepreneurs go to sell their business, they're more focused on their business than on the buyer. Understanding how buyers approach an acquisition, particularly when it comes to funding and deal structure, can help you position your business for the most profitable exit. In this episode of The Opportunity podcast, Greg breaks down how buyers actually think when evaluating an acquisition and why financing plays such a critical role in deal outcomes. While sellers often fixate on valuation, buyers are just as focused on how they will pay for the business and how much risk they are taking on. Greg walks us through how SBA loans can allow buyers to bring more cash to the table, and why small mistakes with these loans by sellers often cause deals to fall apart. He also explores alternative funding options like revenue-based financing and how buyers use leverage and other people's money to acquire businesses more efficiently. The conversation dives into seller financing and earnouts, not as compromises, but as powerful deal-making tools that can expand the buyer pool and unlock higher overall valuations. Greg also shares why setting up a US entity can make your business more attractive to buyers, especially for international sellers. If you're thinking about selling in the next few years, this episode will help you start positioning your business as a scalable, buyer-friendly machine that buyers can confidently finance and pay a premium for.

Christian Hassold, Senior Vice President of Corporate Development and Strategic Partnerships at Wpromote x Giant Spoon Christian has been on both sides of M&A as a serial founder and corporate development leader. In this episode, Christian shares his hard-earned lessons about culture as the ultimate deal-breaker in M&A. He breaks down the subtle red flags that founders miss when evaluating acquisition targets, explains why he interviews employees before talking to investors, and shares the fascinating story of acquiring a competitor that was shutting down—where culture assessment made all the difference. Christian also introduces his 5-pillar lean M&A framework and explains why "commit to close" doesn't mean ignoring red flags, but rather cataloging them until you have enough evidence that culture fit is fundamentally broken.   Things You'll Learn Why interviewing employees before investors reveals the real culture story—and the specific red flags that signal a deal should stop  How to distinguish between fixable cultural friction and fundamental misalignment that will crater post-merger integration The "commit to close" philosophy that balances conviction with cataloging red flags—knowing when three strikes means you walk away _____________ Buyer-Led M&A™: The Framework is Now Available Traditional M&A is broken. Buyers chase auctions. Sellers control the process. It's reactive, inefficient, and exhausting.

What really matters for markets in 2026—and why are most forecasts focused on the wrong metrics? Lance Roberts visits with Simplify Portfolio Manager & Chief Investment Strategist, Michael Green, CFA, to examine the structural changes inside today's markets that are reshaping price discovery, volatility, and risk. From the rise of passive investing and ETF dominance to the growing disconnect between fundamentals and flows, the mechanics of how markets trade have changed dramatically. We explore why small-cap and mid-cap stocks remain the most economically sensitive indicators, how ETFs can pull sellers higher during inflows—and why that dynamic reverses dangerously during outflows. We also examine declining market elasticity, the limitations of the Efficient Market Hypothesis, and why traditional analysis is increasingly ignored. Beyond markets, we connect these shifts to investor behavior, financial nihilism, generational risk-taking, and the unintended consequences of policy intervention. From the "Bank of Dad" to systemic fund imbalances, this discussion reframes what a useful market outlook should actually focus on heading into 2026. This is not a prediction. It is a framework for understanding risk, structure, and consequences. 0:00 INTRO 2:02 - Outlook for 2026 - What's the important metric? 6:22- Small-cap, Mid-cap stocks are most economically sensitive 8:32 - The importance of Understanding What You Own 11:09 - The Issue of ETF's - Dragging the Sellers higher 13:13 - The Theory of Passive Investing 15:16 - The Composition of Trading has Changed 17:52 - How to correct an over valued stock 19:25 - The Problem with Passive Investing - what happens when investors start selling indexed ETF's (the Bigger the Company, the LESS Elastic the Demand Response) 23:55 - The Efficient market Hypothesis 25:32 - What Makes for a Useful Market Forecast - The market Can't Crash?? 27:14 - Systemic Issues within the Market 31:14 - What Would Michael Green Do? 33:18 - The Death of Analysis & Fund Imbalances 37:13 - The Next Generation of Investors and Risk-taking 39:17 - The Poverty Line & Young Investors 43:34 - When the Government Gets Involved 46:04 - Making Choices - Luxuries vs Necessities 49:18 - Financial Education, Financial Stability, & Financial Choices: Financial Nihilism 53:16 - The Bank of Dad & Soft Society 1:00:58 - Actions Have Consequences 1:05:30 - How to Reach Michael Green 1:06:33 - The Problem with The Problem Hosted by RIA Advisors Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO, w Simplify Portfolio Manager & Chief Investment Strategist, Michael Green, CFA Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- You can read Michael Green's blog, "Yes...I Give a Fig," here: https://www.yesigiveafig.com/ ------- Watch Today's Full Video on our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQSiR6fxLGg&list=PLVT8LcWPeAuhi47sn298HrsWYwmg8MV7d&index=1 ------- Watch our previous show, "Social Security Reform: Expansion or Cuts?" here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQSiR6fxLGg&list=PLVT8LcWPeAuhi47sn298HrsWYwmg8MV7d&index=1 -------- The latest installment of our new feature, Before the Bell, "Market Rotation Is Broadening — But Risks Remain," is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS2mSWm16qg&list=PLwNgo56zE4RAbkqxgdj-8GOvjZTp9_Zlz&index=1 ------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestm entadvice.com/newsletter/ -------- SUBSCRIBE to The Real Investment Show here: http://www.youtube.com/c/TheRealInvestmentShow -------- Visit our Site: https://www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to SimpleVisor: https://www.simplevisor.com/register-new -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestmentAdvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinvestmentadvice/ #MarketOutlook2026 #PassiveInvesting #ETFMarketStructure #FinancialNihilism #MarketRisk #MichaelGreen

Stop losing commissions to investors when a seller says, "I just want a cash offer." In this episode, I break down exactly how we convert home seller leads who demand cash but secretly want a retail price. Most agents freeze when they hear this objection, but if you have the right script for real estate sellers, you can pivot that conversation instantly.The secret is the "Two Company" strategy. Instead of arguing with unrealistic home sellers about price, you simply offer them two distinct products: a convenient cash offer or a maximum-value retail listing. This approach positions you as the authority and is one of the best real estate scripts for saving deals that other agents would throw away.We also dive deep into the mindset of real estate cold calling and why you must stop being an "order taker" on the phone. You will watch a live roleplay demonstrating the exact cash offer pivot, showing you how to take control of the call and set a winning listing presentation.In this episode, you will learn:✅ The exact how to handle objection technique for the "I want cash" excuse.✅ Why prequalifying sellers regarding their price expectations is the most critical step.✅ How to use real estate scripts to bridge the gap between "convenience" and "net money."✅ The specific questions to ask when how we convert home seller leads into high-paying listings.If you are tired of chasing bad leads, this breakdown will show you exactly how we convert home seller leads into actual revenue.

A Powerful Interview with #1 Best Seller Frank Viola About His New Book The Untold Story of the New Testament Church Revised And Expanded This Book Will Change How You Read the New Testament Forever In this powerful and eye-opening interview, Stephen Lewis sits down with bestselling author and teacher Frank Viola to discuss his groundbreaking book, The Untold Story of the New Testament Church: Revised and Expanded. Frank reveals why so many believers struggle to understand the New Testament—not because God's Word is unclear, but because it's often read without its original historical, cultural, and chronological context. He explains that reading the Bible without the full story is like hearing only one side of a phone conversation, and that his book restores the background that brings Scripture to life. This conversation explores what the first-century church truly looked like, how the book of Acts and the Epistles fit together, why traditions have drifted from biblical roots, and how Christ—not systems, structures, or institutions—was always meant to be the center of the Christian life. #FrankViola #UntoldStoryOfTheNewTestamentChurch #NewTestamentChurch #EarlyChurch #ChurchHistory #BibleContext #ChristianPodcast #RelevanceForToday #ChristIsAll

Unlock real insights into the San Luis Obispo (SLO) County real estate market with Hal Sweasey and John Turner—plus a rare on-mic appearance from our producer. We tackle the big questions buyers and sellers ask every week: Is now a good time to buy or sell in SLO County? How accurate are online home-value estimates? What's the deal with buyer-broker agreements? And where does AI actually help—or hurt—in real estate? Whether you're a first-time homebuyer, move-up seller, or investor, this episode delivers practical, local guidance you can use today. In this episode: Jeff's role at KZOZ and how this episode came together Where AI helps in real estate (and where it can mislead) Is now a good time to buy in SLO County? Inventory, days on market, and what a ~2.5-month supply really means Rates, “timing the market” vs. time in the market Is now a good time to sell? Trading in the same market and pricing realities Home values: online estimates vs. professional CMA (and what banks actually trust) How pros really price property (calls, pendings, and context) Buyer-broker agreements: what they are, why you're asked to sign, and your options Key takeaways Buy vs. wait: If you're financially prepared and plan to stay, owning is a strong long-term play—focus on affordability and horizon, not perfect timing. Seller reality: Values can flatten or slip short-term; you're often trading in the same market when you buy your next place. Inventory ≠ average: Even when listings rise, SLO County remains supply-constrained versus historical norms. Valuation: Online tools are a starting point; an on-the-ground CMA (comps + context) is far more reliable. Buyer-broker agreements: Expect to sign one when asking for showings; scope can be property-specific or time-bound—know what you're signing. Meet the speaker Hal Sweasey – Veteran SLO County Realtor sharing 35+ years of pricing and negotiation experience. John Turner – Co-host and local market strategist. Jeff Kingman – KZOZ morning host, producer, and now… reluctant on-camera guest.

How to Handle Mid-Listing Panic Like a Pro Welcome to America's #1 Daily Real Estate Podcast.

Partner with proven leaders. It's time to upgrade your real estate brokerage experience. Visit https://WhyLibertas.com/Harris Or text Tim directly at 512-758-0206 The next move is yours. 2026: Agents Who WIN vs. Agents Who FAIL 2026 is almost here — and it's make-or-break for real estate agents. Join Tim and Julie Harris for this exclusive mastermind session where they reveal the three secrets top agents are using right now: • Lead generation that converts • Systems that scale • Branding that attracts sellers Don't just survive 2026 — crush it. Register here: https://HarrisMastermind.com Let's talk about the moment that tests every agent's professionalism. The listing agreement is signed. The home is live. Showings slow down. Then the phone rings. “What's going on? Why isn't my home selling?” Here's the truth most agents miss. When you use the Seller's 12-Week Communication Plan we give our coaching clients, you dramatically reduce the chances of ever getting the dreaded “what have you done for me lately?” call. Why? Expectations were set early. Data was shared consistently. The seller already understands how the market speaks.

Big investors could be banned from buying single-family homes, mortgage rates drop to the lowest level in years, and one forgotten sector of real estate is predicted to “break out” in 2026. We're only two weeks into the new year, but the housing market is shifting by the minute.  Mortgage rates fell into the 5% range last week as President Trump announced a plan to buy $200 billion in mortgage bonds. But this time, there's no money printing involved. The question is…how long will these low rates last? Is this a temporary Band-Aid or a crucial move to get us closer to 5% mortgage rates? But it's getting even better for first-time homebuyers and small investors. Institutional investors could be banned from buying single-family homes, not only providing inventory relief but also preventing unfair competition in the market. This could be huge in a select few cities across the US, especially as HousingWire predicts one specific single-family investing strategy could see profits surge in 2026. In This Episode We Cover The new big investor “ban” and Trump's urge to kick institutional money out of the housing market One investing strategy HousingWire says has huge profit potential in 2026  Mortgage rates fall within 5% range through bond-buying—is this any different than quantitative easing? Sellers continue to dwarf buyers, and these pockets are where you'll find your best opportunities And So Much More!

It's rarely about timing the market and it's almost never just about the house.In this episode of Life at Ten Tenths, Matt and Garrett dig into new data from the latest Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers to uncover the hidden pattern behind most real estate moves today—and it all points back to one thing: community.More specifically, people are moving to be closer to friends, family, and the lives they want to live.This conversation explores how life changes quietly shape real estate decisions long before anyone raises their hand and says, “We're thinking about buying or selling.” It also challenges agents to stop chasing transactions and start paying closer attention to the signals already showing up in their relationships.Let's get into:The #1 reason people are buying and selling right nowWhy community has overtaken market conditions as the primary driverHow life changes create predictable real estate patternsA smarter way to think about warm lists and long-term relationshipsWhy listening better leads to better timing—and better serviceThis episode isn't about forcing conversations.It's about recognizing patterns, building deeper connections, and being present before people need help.

In this episode, we break down the exact strategies for negotiating with stubborn sellers and knowing when to present a Cash offer vs traditional listing.Many agents struggle when a seller wants a price that is totally unrealistic.
