On today's show we are looking at the anxiety of missing a deal. Real estate investors are deal junkies. Let's call it like it is. We're going to look at a real life example. We're going to talk about creating value with land. There are two main methods for creating land value. One is to start with raw land and carve it up and get it zoned and serviced for development. The other is to take land that has already been carved up into tiny parcels and put it back together so you can do something more substantial with it. Sellers are often of a mindset that they are the ones holding the cards. Their property is worth a gazillion dollars, especially if it has development potential. Some rich developer will come along and offer me so much more than the property is worth in its current condition to an owner occupant. In a dense urban environment land is both scarce and abundant. It's abundant in the sense that there are hundreds of properties for sale at any given time. Most of the land is not suitable for redevelopment in its current form.A case in point is a small land assembly that has already been designed for a 66 unit mid rise building. 66 units is a bit small from a property management standpoint. Ideally a building should have more than 100 units in order to optimize the economics of staffing the project.The proposed building is already compliant with the zoning requirements and can be built by right. There are constraints on the size of a building on this street because of utility capacity on the street. A larger building would require an upgrade to the water main which would add considerable cost and delays to the project. The main constraint is water volume for fire suppression. A larger building would require a larger water main pipe and possibly a booster pump if the pressure at the top of the building is not sufficient. So we know we are not going to get more density on that block regardless of the zoning. The original land assembly consisted of two properties and along the way different scenarios of three and four properties were considered and negotiated.In the end, while a larger project would have been possible, we opted for a smaller mid-sized project at only 66 units. This past week, two more properties came up for sale on the same street. Among those was a property that had previously been considered. It was being offered at 30% below the original asking price. This is where sellers often get confused. You see there are realtors out there who will pick the most expensive comparable sale in the area and recommend that as the asking price for the sale. It's as if there is a broad market for development land and the offers will start pouring in the second the land hits the market. But when you are offering a property that will ultimately form part of a land assembly the market for buyers shrinks dramatically. You have two neighbours, one on the left and one on the right. There are only two possible buyers for your property as a development site. ----------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1) iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613) Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com) LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce) YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso) Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com) **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital) Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

Confidently Navigate Small Business Buying and Selling with Baton's Chat JoglekarIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge spoke with Chat Joglekar, Co-Founder and CEO of Baton, a modern marketplace built to simplify the buying and selling of small businesses. Chat shared powerful insights into why acquiring an existing small business can be more strategic—and less risky—than starting one from scratch. He also outlined the tools Baton provides to make small business transactions more accessible, transparent, and successful.The Baton Approach to Small Business OwnershipBaton was born from a vision to demystify the complex process of small business transactions. Chat Joglekar and his team recognized that many entrepreneurs overlook the option of buying a business with built-in cash flow and customers, opting instead to launch from zero. Baton aims to shift that mindset.Chat explained that Baton functions as both a listing marketplace and an educational platform. Sellers can receive a complimentary valuation, and buyers can browse listings for free. Unlike traditional business brokers who charge up to 12%, Baton keeps its success fee at just 6%, lowering the barrier to entry for buyers.One of the most underutilized tools in small business acquisition, Chat emphasized, is the Small Business Administration (SBA) loan. For businesses valued under $5 million, SBA loans offer low-interest rates and long repayment terms. Baton helps guide buyers through the financing process and offers content and guidance to make these loans easier to understand and obtain.Whether you're selling your first business or stepping into entrepreneurship by acquisition, Baton supports your journey with webinars, guides, and one-on-one support. Chat's mission is clear: empower business owners with data, education, and an easy-to-navigate process.About Chat JoglekarChat Joglekar is the Co-Founder and CEO of Baton.

Inspired by real-life experiences and stories shared by agents, this episode was packed with useful reminders about how to navigate the home buying and selling process with professionalism, courtesy, and common sense.
I've been viewing houses this past fortnight, so I thought I'd share my anecdotal 2p on the state of the London property market.I'm looking in Brockley, SE4, which, if you don't know it, used to be rough AF, but is now where all the cool kids are. The area has benefited from the various London rail line extensions – you can be in Shoreditch or Canary Wharf in 15 minutes; the Jubilee and Elizabeth lines are a similarly short step away – and that has attracted the slay crew to the area. The road links though are still horrendous though, made worse by 20mph speed limits and bus lane misallocation of essential road space. The drive to west London is interminable.Brockley has a good stock of beautiful detached, semi-detached and terraced Victorian houses. For example: With its proximity to Greenwich and the river docks, it was once a wealthy area, though, like most of south-east London, it got bombed to heck in the war.There are plenty of nice parks too. One of them, Hilly Fields, was modelled on Hampstead Heath, and there are many gorgeous houses in the roads running off it. Not quite Hampstead gorgeous, but getting there.Brockley also has the highest density of cemeteries in London, if you fancy dying any time soon, it's highly convenient. It is, I gather, London's most haunted area.It is only a bit stabby. Nothing like as bad as neighbouring Lewisham. (Maybe “only a bit stabby” will one day become part of estate agents' jargon, perhaps to replace “vibrant”. I can't believe how normalised stabbing now is that I'm talking like that.)The stabbiness is offset, however, by the plethora of nice restaurants, cafés, bars, craft ale breweries, the farmers' market, mini-festivals, pilates studios et al. I understand, in Browns, the area boasts London's best coffee and, in Babur, its best Indian restaurant. (Technically Babur is in Honor Oak, but, like England and many of its foreign sporting greats, we'll claim it as our own.)I shot this vid from the steps up to the station.Brockley feels younger and more up-and-coming than the once-cool areas to the west like Queen's Park, Kensal Rise, Clapham and so on, probably because of its easy access to east London. (A lot of people from Hackney move down here.)I moved here begrudgingly and skint in 2015 and have grown to really like it.But what about the housing market?I've known markets in which estate agents don't give you the time of day, there are so many prospective buyers, but – perhaps because they know I am an unencumbered buyer – the agents are maybe not quite all over me, but certainly on my case: lots of emails, phone calls and the rest of it. That indicates it's more of a buyers' market.But, while I would describe the housing market here as slow, it is not dead. Stuff has been going under offer in the two weeks I've been looking, though rarely at asking.With the costs of moving – Stamp Duty is 10% above £925k, and 12% above £1.5m, plus an extra 5% if you own another property – buyers have got to really want to buy.Sellers, meanwhile, have to really want to sell, which often entails reducing their asking prices. Stuff which is unrealistically priced is staying on the market a long time. Look at this one (actually up the road in Honor Oak):This is a 5,000-square-foot property, not so nice inside, but with access to a 2-acre private garden behind with its own tennis court – quite something in London. From £2.5 million to £1.75 million and they still can't shift it. (It needs a lot of money spending on it.)On the other hand, there don't seem to be many forced sellers – people who can't make their payments – and we won't get any house price crash, long-awaited or not, until that is a reality.I imagine Brockley, as a young, trendy area, is busier than other parts of town, but that is my overall feel: slow, but not dead.I've looked at a few family houses. I can't really comment on flats, but I gather there is an oversupply of 2-bed flats across London, and it is really hard to shift them. I'm not sure if this applies to Brockley or not.It doesn't feel as expensive as it did around 2019–2022 (realised sales prices are a fraction lower, but there is obviously currency debasement to consider too), but nor does it feel super cheap. We're a long way off where we were in, say, 2013, even though grander parts of London – Kensington and Chelsea, for example – are back at those 2013 levels.Where does the housing market go from here? It all depends on two things: interest rates and Stamp Duty.Britain's zombie housing market, brought to you by Stamp Duty.If rates go lower, the market will not collapse. There won't be the forced sellers. We'll continue as we are: stagnant. If rates go higher, the market is in trouble.But get rid of Stamp Duty, and you'd have a flurry of activity across the country tomorrow. People aren't moving because of the amount of dead money involved. Stamp Duty has immobilised the country.If you're buying a two-million-pound house, you will pay £153,750 in stamp duty. Cash. Money you've already paid tax on once. You can't borrow the money. You have to be extremely rich, or extremely desperate for a home, to be willing to pay a £150k one-off tax of this kind. Most would rather avoid paying it, so they don't move.You will pay more if you are not a UK resident.If you happen to own another property – which most people in that wealth bracket will, either their first flat they never sold, a property they inherited, or a home in the country – and the house you are buying is not your main residence, the tax rises to £253,750. A quarter of a million quid.That's why houses in Kensington and Chelsea no longer sell. EDIT: My mate, whose kids have now flown the nest, sent me this: "We live in a 4 floor house, 2 floors we don't use, I haven't been to the top floor for about 5 years (seriously). We would love to move and downsize but makes no sense as the costs of buying a new house would use up all the gain on downsizing . IE We just end up with a smaller house."This happens all the way down the scale. Kirstie Whatsit off the telly was tweeting about it the other day.My mother's friend, who is in her 70s, lives in a 2-bed flat two floors up in Wandsworth worth maybe £700,000. She is worried about climbing the stairs at her age, and wants to move to another 2-bed flat. She will pay £25,000 in Stamp Duty on top of all her other moving costs. She doesn't have 25 grand to throw away.The result is this nearly dead market. Britain's zombie housing market.Stamp Duties were one of the taxes the ignited the American Revolution. If only we had muskets today …The biggest villains in all this are former Chancellor Gordon Brown for first raising Stamp Duty on property transactions (before him it just one per cent on all properties over £60,000), and, worst of all, George Osborne for raising the rates to today's ludicrous levels. Rather than address the root causes of unaffordable housing – fiat money, artificially low interest rates, improper measures of inflation and dumb planning laws – he blamed the market, and attacked it with Stamp Duty. But all of Jeremy Hunt, Rishi Sunak, Sajid Javid, Philip Hammond and Alistair Darling must take their share of the blame for failing to do anything about it, when they had the chance. (We'll give Kwasi Kwarteng and Nadhim Zahawi a pass on the grounds they didn't have the gig for long enough).Osborne, Brown et al have given birth to the zombie situation we have now. They have immobilised the country in the process. Government. Yet again. 0 stars. Would not use again.It's enough to make you a libertarian.

Ben Brady breaks down the major takeaways from May—and one theme stood out above all: acceptance. But not the kind that comes with signed offers. We're talking seller mindset, agent responsibility, and market-wide reality checks.Ben walks through what he's seeing across the U.S.—from Florida and Tennessee to Colorado, Arizona, and Texas. With more high-end listings sitting stagnant and sellers facing increasing evidence that the market has shifted, conversations are finally changing. The idea of “just waiting it out” is losing its power, and more agents are learning how to guide their clients toward realistic outcomes using clear market feedback and our auction process.This episode digs into the real psychology behind price reductions, seller denial, and agent hesitation—and why the best-performing agents right now are the ones willing to tell the hard truths. Whether you're managing seller expectations, navigating sluggish inventory, or qualifying listing opportunities, this is your reminder: clarity is leverage.

In this episode, we break down the recent audio excerpt that dives into Utah's housing market trends. After years of relentless price growth, the tide is shifting. The speaker analyzes quarterly data to reveal a disconnect we haven't seen in five years: more homes hitting the market, but fewer actually selling. This isn't a doomsday scenario, but it's a clear sign that we're moving from a red-hot seller's market to something more balanced. Sellers can't keep playing the same pricing game—they need to get strategic if they want results. We also cover why this is still a macro-level look and how future data will confirm (or challenge) whether this shift sticks around.
Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Most agency owners screw up their first sales hire. Why? Because they either hire the wrong person, or refuse to let go of control. Travis Hoechlin used to think building a sales team was a waste of time—until he realized he was the bottleneck. In this episode, you'll hear how he went from solo closer to leading a performance-driven team that fuels his agency's growth. Travis Hoechlin is the CEO of Rise Up Media, a marketing company specializing in law firm services. He shares insights into his journey from working at a large agency to starting his own and discusses the challenges of stepping out of a comfortable position and the motivations that ultimately led him and his business partner to take the leap into entrepreneurship. Travis also shared his experience building a top sales team, his logic behind hiring experienced seller instead of going for junior salespeople he could train, and how he keeps his team motivated and competitive. In this episode, we'll discuss: What most owners get wrong when building sales teams. The hidden cost of overlooking your top performers. How to hire competitive closers who don't need babysitting. Incentives that actually work (even with a remote team).

The True Cost of Overlooking Top Performers Travis began his career working for one of the largest agencies in the industry. Despite previously owning a mortgage company, he and his current business partner found themselves settling into the comfort of corporate life—big paychecks, steady accolades, and a sense of stability. But deep down, Travis always knew he wanted to build something of his own again. It wasn't until a disagreement with his former boss that he finally made the leap. Looking back, he wishes he'd made the move sooner. Still, the way it unfolded taught him an important lesson. As one of the agency's top sellers, Travis had earned a spot in their elite President's Club—or so he thought. When he was unexpectedly passed over, it became clear that his contributions weren't truly valued. That moment of frustration became the catalyst for change. Sometimes, it takes a setback to shake us out of complacency. Travis's story is a powerful reminder: comfort can be deceiving, and top performers often leave not because of the work, but because their impact isn't fully recognized. For agency owners, it's a call to action—acknowledge your best people, or risk losing them. The Journey from Seller to Sales Leader As one of the top salespeople at his former agency, Travis was a natural fit to lead sales at his own. But like many high-performing sellers, he was hesitant about building a sales team. Great salespeople don't always make great managers—and Travis wasn't sure he could find others who would match the drive and success he brought to the table. His competitive nature added another layer of resistance. The idea of hiring someone who might rival his performance didn't sit well with him at first. But over time, realized that no matter how strong he was on his own, two or three skilled salespeople giving their all would far outperform his solo efforts. That mindset shift changed everything. Once he found the right people—sales pros who believed in the agency's mission—Travis stepped back. He moved out of the day-to-day sales role, choosing instead to support the team and help them succeed. After all, they had taken a chance on a growing agency, and he felt a responsibility to help them thrive. Many agency owners struggle with this transition. It's hard to let go of what you're great at. But as Travis discovered, tying your value to a single role—especially one you refuse to let go—can turn you into your agency's biggest bottleneck. Growth requires trust, delegation, and a willingness to lead from the side, not just the front. Strategy for Building a Premium Agency Sales Force Once Travis fully committed to building a sales team, he hit the ground running—bringing on two salespeople to start, then two more just a few months later. Since then, he's made it a habit to hire two to three new sales reps each year, fueling the agency's continued growth. While many agencies try to save money by hiring junior reps, Travis believes that route often costs more in the long run. He only recruits experienced, high-performing sales talent since inexperienced hires need extensive training, close management, and time to ramp up—resources many growing agencies simply can't afford to spare. Instead, Travis looks for people who are naturally competitive, hungry to earn, and confident in their ability to close. In his view, a good salesperson can sell anything. If a new hire hasn't sold agency services before, he keeps their focus simple for the first 30 days: just book him meetings. From there, he leads the calls while they shadow, learn, and build the confidence to eventually run the sales process on their own. Additionally, rather than hiring one rep at a time, he prefers onboarding two or three at once. Sure, not all of them will work out—but with multiple hires, at least one or two typically stick, and you're not back at square one. Plus, the healthy competition that comes from a group ramping together drives performance. When top salespeople are surrounded by peers who are also gunning for results, it pushes everyone to level up. For Travis, building a sales team isn't just about offloading calls—it's about creating a high-performance culture that multiplies results and drives the agency forward. Incentives That Actually Build Culture—Even Remotely Travis understands that great salespeople are driven by more than just commission—they thrive on competition, recognition, and rewards. In corporate environments, these high performers are often motivated by bonuses, contests, and incentive trips—and Travis knew his agency needed to offer the same kind of energy to attract and retain top talent. Having been the top seller at his previous job, he experienced firsthand how powerful the right incentives can be. So, he implemented a clear and compelling incentive structure for his team: hit an annual sales target of $850,000, and you qualify for an all-expenses-paid trip to a luxury destination, such as their recent five-day retreat at the Four Seasons in Costa Rica. But it's more than just a reward—it's a shared goal that unites the team. With about a third of his salesforce working remotely from across the globe, these trips serve as a rallying point, fostering camaraderie, motivation, and culture. This blend of healthy competition and team connection is critical in sales. By setting ambitious but achievable goals—and celebrating those who reach them—Travis has built a culture where individuals are motivated to win, and the entire team moves forward together.

In the most recent edition of “The Crude Report: TMX sellers taking to the water” Argus reporters Kyle Tsang and David Haydon talk with Argus VP Jeff Kralowetz about onshore and offshore developments that could push Canadian producers to charter ships and sell some of their TMX barrels on a delivered basis. Key topics covered in the podcast: How surprisingly low Aframax rates have made the direct voyage from Vancouver to China both faster and cheaper than going by larger VLCCs. Why a larger percentage of TMX cargoes are headed to China in May. How the narrower discounts of Alberta heavy grades such as Cold Lake and AWB – along with new tolls on the TMX pipeline – have made the move of crude to Vancouver more challenging.
Join Rob Nelson and Peter Parnig on this "intellectual safari" as they explore a timely and crucial topic: how to effectively discuss pricing with sellers by understanding and addressing their inherent risk tolerance. Moving beyond traditional, often adversarial, pricing conversations, Peter introduces a Ninja-inspired approach that positions the agent as a trusted advisor and partner, helping sellers navigate their two primary fears: leaving money on the table and the property not selling at all. Triggered by observations during the pandemic and the current market shift where price reductions are common, Peter breaks down how sellers' pricing desires are often an expression of their individual tolerance for risk. This episode offers a fresh perspective on visual pricing and the "choices and consequences" framework, empowering agents to guide sellers toward informed decisions rather than dictating a price. Through insightful role-play and discussion, Rob and Peter demonstrate how to reframe the pricing conversation to be collaborative, reduce conflict, and ultimately help sellers achieve their goals. Learn how to ask the pivotal question that uncovers a seller's dominant fear, leverage market data effectively, and dust off underutilized tools like the "buyer's eyes" conversation (with some caveats!). This episode provides actionable strategies to transform your listing presentations and build stronger, more trusting relationships with your sellers in today's dynamic market.

Episode Highlights: The Genesis: Pandemic Lessons and Evolving Seller Risk Tolerance Seller's Three Greatest Fears (and How They Relate to Price) The Problem with Traditional Pricing: An Adversarial Approach The "Aha!" Moment: Overpricing as an Expression of Risk Tolerance Visual Pricing and Choices & Consequences: Partnering with Sellers Role-Play: Asking the Key Question – "Which Risk Pings on You Harder?" Managing Seller Expectations: The "Try Price" and Price Reduction Strategy Using Real-Time Market Data to Guide Decisions Dusting Off Seller Tools: The "Buyer's Eyes" Conversation (and its Nuances) The Importance of Homogeneous Properties for Effective Comparisons Reframing the "Overpricing" Dialogue: Understanding Seller Motivation The Power of Reminding Sellers of Their Initial Investment (Subtly) Controlling the Process, Not the Decision: The Ninja Way Key Takeaways: Recognize that every seller has a unique tolerance for risk, and frame pricing discussions around helping them manage this. Understand that a seller's desire to "overprice" often stems from their fear of leaving money on the table, not just being unrealistic. Utilize visual pricing tools (like scattergrams) to empower sellers to make informed pricing decisions collaboratively. Ask sellers directly which fear is greater for them: leaving money on the table or the property not selling at all. Educate sellers that a more aggressive initial pricing strategy can attract multiple offers and potentially drive the price up. Position your value by offering a "pricing strategy" designed to achieve top market value, rather than just a "CMA." If sellers want to test a higher price, establish a clear timeframe and data points for reassessment based on market feedback. Shift from "convincing" sellers to guiding them with data and helping them understand market dynamics and their choices. View sellers who seem "unreasonable" or "unrealistic" as individuals managing their fear of loss, and approach them with empathy. Subtly reminding sellers of their initial investment can help frame the current market value more positively.

A lot of interesting things are happening in real estate right now. The more agents are aware of the market forces shaping today's landscape, the better equipped they are to adapt, and thrive. One big issue is the clear corporation debate. On one side, luxury agents are keeping listings private, relying on off-market deals and exclusive networks to serve high-end clients. On the other hand, traditional agents are fighting to maintain transparency and access through the MLS, for buyers and sellers who actually need it. At the same time, a different kind of rift is unfolding: Sellers are still chasing yesterday's price tags, and buyers are hitting the ceiling of what they can afford. Inventory is rising. Affordability is collapsing. And agents are stuck in the middle, navigating a market full of contradictions. Few people are better equipped to talk about these tensions than Jenny Wemert. She's the leader of Orlando's #1 real estate team, managing 58 full-time agents and overseeing $400 million in annual volume. She hasn't personally sold a home in over a decade, but don't mistake that for being out of touch. As the team's “mom, therapist, and firefighter,” Jenny is deeply embedded in the day-to-day challenges real agents face, and the strategic decisions that keep them growing, even in tough markets. In this episode, she breaks down the Clear Cooperation controversy, the challenges of the affordability crisis, and how strong leadership can help agents weather industry-wide shifts with integrity and clarity. To the average consumer, most sellers want the most money and to sell in the least amount of time. To be able to do that, maximum exposure matters. -Jenny Wemert Things You'll Learn In This Episode: The real story behind “clear cooperation” Is the MLS still the best tool for consumers, or are luxury agents right to fight for off-market deals? When it's time to step out of production How did Jenny know it was time to stop selling, and how did she build a team that could run without her? Why most teams struggle with retention What's the secret to keeping your agents for 10+ years, and why do most team leaders get it wrong? What Airbnb's decline means for the housing market Is the short-term rental gold rush over, and what does that mean for investors in places like Florida? Guest Bio Jenny Wemert is a Realtor® and team leader of Wemert Group Realty. She has focused her energy on cultivating and building her team to serve clients and always exceed expectations.
