With firsthand stories of scraping by financially, and hard-won insights from years in both ministry and real estate, Chris breaks down why homeownership at any cost is better than being locked out forever.Key Takeaways:The 50-year mortgage is not a scam—it's an OPTION, and options are powerful.Most real estate pros project their own financial goals onto clients, creating unnecessary judgment.Appreciation—not just principal paydown—is what builds generational wealth.Time in the market matters more than timing the market.The average homeowner has 48x the net worth of the average renter.Buying anything, even with a long-term note, beats renting for life.Gatekeeping homeownership is only widening the wealth gap.Real estate agents should be educating, not shaming.Connect with Chris:Instagram: @craddrockFacebook: Chris Craddock BusinessResources

Agency leaders make a fatal assumption: that their million-dollar producers are self-sufficient. The reality is, these all-stars drive 80% of your revenue, and they're often the most neglected. They're a massive flight risk, not because they're unhappy, but because they're stuck.The strategies that got your top producers to their first million won't get them to the next level—they've hit a new plateau and need a new set of tools. In this episode, I'm giving you the new framework for supporting your best people. We get into why building their personal brand is the only strategy that matters for scaling, how to use platforms like LinkedIn to build their credibility, and why the agencies that "rent the brands of their producers" are the only ones who will win the future.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callhttps://calendly.com/aneary/strategy-sessionKEY MOMENTS(00:00:00) Why Your Top Producer Is About to Quit (00:00:47) The Fatal Flaw: Neglecting Your Top Producers (00:04:44) The 80/20 Problem: Your Revenue Is at Risk (00:05:31) The Scaling Solution: Building Their Personal Brand (00:14:09) The New Agency Model: Rent Their Brand, Not YoursCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

Recruiting in real estate is often misunderstood — especially when it comes to attracting high-producing agents. In this episode, Brian Icenhower breaks down what it really takes to train an effective recruiter and why most fail over time. You'll learn why “shark tactics” poison the well, how patience and consistent appointments drive success, and why recruiting top producers is as much about coaching as it is about leadership. Brian shares his proven Recruit Pipeline System, explains why retention and culture must be production-centric (not just “family-oriented”), and reveals how to transform recruiters into the most valuable people in your organization. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why most recruiters only succeed with new licensees — and why that's not enough How “poisoning the well” kills your ability to get appointments with top producers The importance of patience and consistency: tracking appointments for 6–12 months Why recruiting is less about selling and more about listening, diagnosing, and adding value How to build a production-centric culture that attracts and retains top talent The role of the Recruit Pipeline in tracking progress, identifying needs, and moving prospects toward joining Why the best recruiters also become the best coaches — and how to train yours to do both If you're a broker, team leader, or manager looking to grow agent count and profitability without burning bridges, this episode will show you the mindset, systems, and accountability needed to build a world-class recruiting process.   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

For most people, debt isn't a mistake; it's just life. The mortgage, the car loan, and the credit cards are what everyone does. Making the minimum payments feels normal, but that actually keeps people stuck. Millions of families are drowning in debt, and they're barely managing. They're working hard, keeping up with their bills, but almost every dollar they earn goes right back out in interest. They're not moving forward; they're treading water. The hard part is, they're not doing anything "wrong." They're doing what the system taught them to do: stay cash-poor while the banks collect. People proudly lock in their 30-year loans at "record low rates," convinced they've made the smartest financial move of their lives. But they don't realize that even at 3%, they're giving away hundreds of thousands in interest. That money could be building security, breathing room, and financial freedom.  What if the same dollars you're paying the bank every month could start working for you instead? What if your paycheck could reduce your interest, shorten your payoff timeline, and create new cash flow, without earning a cent more? In this episode, Velocity Banking expert Christy Vann and all-in-one loan expert Harrison George return. We unpack how the system keeps you cash poor, and the simple shifts that can set you free. From using tools like the all-in-one first-lien HELOC to applying velocity and Infinite Banking principles, you'll learn how to redirect your money and eliminate debt faster.    Things You'll Learn In This Episode  The minimum-payment illusion Most people think staying current on their bills means they're managing their money well. What if that belief is the very thing keeping them broke? The hidden cost of a low-rate mortgage A 3% mortgage feels like a win, until you realize it's still costing you hundreds of thousands in interest. How can you flip that money back in your favor? Turning interest into opportunity Every month, you hand a portion of your paycheck to the bank. What happens when you start redirecting that same money toward your own freedom instead? The smarter way to get debt-free You don't have to earn more or live with less to change your situation. How do systems like the all-in-one HELOC, Velocity Banking, and Infinite Banking make that possible?   Guest Bio   Harrison George is a highly accomplished Mortgage Loan Officer at CMG Financial in Meridian, Idaho, specializing in both purchase and refinance solutions.

Too many real estate leaders focus solely on production—contacts, appointments, objections, and mechanical coaching. But the truth is, these tactics fall flat if you can't keep your people motivated. In this episode of The Brian Icenhower Podcast, Brian breaks down why the best leaders don't just coach tasks—they provide perspective. You'll learn why perspective is the missing ingredient in most leadership styles, how it inspires agents to keep going through setbacks, and why motivation is more about clarity and context than cheerleading. Brian also shares how to tailor your approach using DISC behavioral profiles to motivate every personality type effectively. Plus, get ahead of what's coming in the market: the “winter” of 2025–2026. Brian explains why agents, teams, and even brokerages will fold if leaders don't step up—and how you can use perspective to grow when others quit. If you want to lead agents through tough markets, attract top performers, and avoid being “the problem” that drives people away, this episode is a must-listen.   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

In this episode of The Brian Icenhower Podcast, we dive into one of the biggest growth challenges for real estate agents and teams: choosing between hiring a transaction coordinator (TC) and an administrative assistant. While many agents lean toward TCs because the cost comes directly from closings, Brian explains why top-producing agents and large teams invest in admin support instead—and how that decision fuels long-term growth. You'll learn: The key differences between a transaction coordinator and a true admin. Why admins don't just save you time—they generate more revenue and elevate client service. The four major roles admins can play: listing manager, transaction coordinator, marketing director, and administrative manager. How to train and layer responsibilities as your business scales. Why relying solely on TCs can hold your team back, while admin systems create scalability and better client experiences. If you're serious about building a business that runs smoothly and grows beyond your personal production, this conversation will give you a clear roadmap for leveraging admin support to take your team to the next level.   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

For many new agents, the top producers in the office are intimidating. Their success feels out of reach; it's something you'll never accomplish yourself. But for some agents, those same people are motivating. They're proof that it can be done, and they become the standard to chase.  Emilee Mosso went from wanting to be like those agents to achieving success in her own right. And at 23, she's done $10 million in volume, and this is just the beginning.  How did Emilee turn her goals into a reality? How did she move past some of the places that keep agents stuck?  It starts with showing up before you feel ready, asking for help instead of guessing, and treating every “no” as practice for the next “yes.” In this episode of Level Up, the Century 21 Blackwell agent shares the mindset and approach behind her success. We also unpack how to learn from the right people, move through rejection without losing momentum, and develop the habits that make you a top producer.   In the beginning, you take the no's personally. Now, when someone says no, I just think I'm closer to someone who will tell me yes. -Emilee Mosso   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  Consistency compounds faster than talent How does showing up, especially on the days you don't feel like it, quietly build the kind of momentum that skill alone can't? The hidden advantage in rejection What shifts when “no” stops meaning you failed and starts meaning you're still moving forward? Why agents really fear listings Most agents stay buyers' agents, not because they can't handle listings, but because rejection from a seller feels personal. How do you push through that fear and build real leverage on the other side of it? The value of proximity How much faster can you grow when you surround yourself with people who've already done what you're trying to do?   Guest Bio Emilee Mosso is a licensed North & South Carolina real estate agent at Century 21 Blackwell.

In this episode of the Brian Icenhower Podcast, we explore how real estate agents and teams can turn longer listing periods into powerful lead generation opportunities by running open houses the right way. Brian Icenhower explains why every listing should have at least two open houses—ideally in the first two weeks of hitting the market—and how top teams leverage this system not just to sell homes, but to generate more listings, build their database, and establish a reputation for hustle and professionalism. You'll learn: ✅ Why open houses are most effective during the “Miracle Month” (first 30 days on market) ✅ How to set team-wide standards (2 open houses per listing) and track them with dashboards ✅ Why proactive admin support is critical to maximizing open house coverage ✅ Conversion strategies that turn open house visitors into listing eAlert subscribers ✅ How to use open houses to attract sellers, not just buyers ✅ Scripts, systems, and client service approaches that separate top producers from casual agents Brian also shares how open houses fuel lead generation, team accountability, and market dominance, especially in spring and summer when traffic is high. With the right systems in place, every listing becomes a magnet for more opportunities.

In this episode of the Brian Icenhower Podcast, we tackle a tough but essential leadership skill: how to exit real estate agents from your brokerage or team. Every year during moving seasons, agents evaluate their businesses and some decide to leave—often blaming leadership instead of addressing their own habits. How you handle those departures will shape your reputation, culture, and ability to grow. Brian Icenhower and ICT coach Nick Baldwin break down why exiting agents gracefully is just as important as recruiting them in the first place. They explain how the wrong response—anger, bitterness, or subtle digs—can damage your leadership credibility and poison your reputation in the community. On the flip side, handling exits with grace, professionalism, and servant leadership not only protects your brand but often leads to agents returning later. You'll learn: ✅ Why agents leave and why it's rarely about commission splits or culture ✅ The dangers of “brokers behaving badly” and spreading drama ✅ What not to say when agents move on—and how to avoid creating “bulletin board material” ✅ Why half of all exiting agents will return if you exit them gracefully ✅ Practical strategies for transferring listings, handling pendings, and avoiding punitive policies ✅ How proactive, gracious behavior can turn exits into recruiting opportunities Leadership isn't tested when agents join—it's tested when they leave. Learn how to maintain respect, protect your brand, and keep your organization thriving even when agents move on.

In this high-octane rebroadcast, Chris sits down with Sammy Destefano, a Scottsdale-based agent who went from selling BMWs to dominating the Arizona real estate market — all by outworking the average agent with 4+ hours a day of phone prospecting.Sammy breaks down how he leveraged expired listings, embraced early mornings, and leaned into coaching to fast-track his success — selling 30 homes in his first year and never looking back. If you're stuck in mediocrity, this episode will show you exactly what it takes to level up.

In this episode of the Brian Icenhower Podcast, we dive into one of the most critical adjustments agents must make in a shifting market: managing longer listing periods. As more markets trend toward buyer's territory, listings are sitting on the market longer than most agents and sellers are used to. Brian Icenhower introduces the concept of the “Magic Month”—the first 30 days when a listing receives the highest online exposure. He explains why conservative pricing and strong marketing in this window are crucial for generating multiple offers and securing the best terms for your sellers. You'll learn: ✅ Why agents don't sell homes—they expose them ✅ How to track and share online listing views (MLS, Zillow, Realtor.com, Homes.com) with clients ✅ The importance of weekly seller updates from your admin team ✅ How to set upfront expectations to avoid “Why isn't my home selling?” calls ✅ When to recommend price reductions using proven showing guidelines Brian also shares why proactive client communication is the difference between smooth transactions and stressful ones. By sending consistent weekly reports and setting proper expectations, you won't need to talk sellers into price reductions—they'll call you first when the data proves it's time.

In this episode of Uncommon Real Estate, Chris sits down with Terence Coles — a Maryland-based agent and investor who just signed 20 listings in 45 days.Terence isn't doing anything flashy.

What he is doing is showing up prepared, confident, and relentless in his follow-up — without ever sounding pushy.You'll hear how Terence:Prepares before every appointment like he's already won the dealTurns follow-up from “annoying” to “inevitable”Builds instant trust — even when the person he meets isn't the decision-makerUses his phone as a secret credibility booster (this one's wild)Wins deals by making people feel like they're his only clientConnect with Terence:terence.coles@thereduxgroup.com301-479-5598Connect with ChrisInstagram: @craddrockFacebook: Chris CraddockResources

In today's episode of the Brian Icenhower Podcast, we tackle one of the most pressing issues in today's shifting real estate market: longer listing periods. As inventory grows and some areas edge into buyer's market territory, listings are sitting on the market longer than many agents—or their sellers—are used to. Brian Icenhower breaks down the two critical factors every agent must understand: Price or Patience. He explains how agents can set the right expectations with sellers upfront, proactively prove property exposure through weekly reporting, and avoid the reactive “Why isn't my home selling?” conversations that frustrate clients and drain your energy.

What if your biggest growth strategy is actually the thing that's holding your business back? In this episode, I break down the most common mistake new (and even seasoned) brokers make: saying yes to every deal, every partner, and every opportunity. It's a fast track to burnout—and a slow road to profitability. I'll show you what top producers do differently: how they get clear on who they serve, what they say no to, and how that focus leads to more volume, more referrals, and less stress. What We Cover: Why Being for Everyone is a Trap – How generalist brokers hit a ceiling fast. The Power of Positioning – Why top producers pick a niche—and get paid more for it. Profit Killers to Avoid – Files, partners, and platforms that drain your time and energy. No-Go List Strategy – How writing down what you won't do can unlock better deals. Say No, Grow Fast – The mindset shift that turns “less” into “more.” Follow me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/scottpeckford/ I Love Mortgage Brokering: www.ilovemortgagebrokering.com Find out more about BRX Mortgage: www.whybrx.com Subscribe to my 3-2-1 Thursday Email I Love Mortgage Brokering is in partnership with Ownwell.  To see how top brokers are keeping clients engaged and generating leads from their database, visit ownwell.ca/scott.

In this raw, roundtable conversation we recorded on-site, they share the biggest lessons they learned from two days of stripping away the noise and focusing on what actually moves the needle.

In this hard-hitting episode, Chris delivers a powerful message every agent needs to hear — most of us are lying to ourselves about the work we're actually doing. Chris breaks down a stat from a recent mastermind revealing the average agent makes less than one two-minute prospecting call per day, yet thinks they're making six. He parallels this with a personal fitness journey and challenges agents to track their numbers, stay honest, and do the actual work required to win in today's brutal market. Key Takeaways:Agents believe they're working harder than they are — and that disconnect is devastating their business.Micro-cheating (in business or health) adds up and sabotages results.Tracking is the key to progress. If you're not measuring it, you're making it up.Prospecting five meaningful conversations per day can lead to a 30%+ increase in revenue.The ones who succeed are the ones who don't quit at the 15-minute mark.Being honest about your activity is the foundation of building real momentum in your career.Connect with Chris:
