    Dopamine vs. Dollars: The Truth About Boosted Posts in Real Estate

    Real Estate Agents! Stop Boosting Posts. Start Building a Real Business. If you’ve ever tapped that tempting little “Boost Post” button and thought, “Well... it’s better than nothing,” this episode is your wake-up call. We’re unpacking why boosting posts is burning your budget and building nothing in return... no leads, no clients, no growth—and what to do instead if you actually want consistent, high-quality clients from your marketing. Inside this episode, I break down: ✅ Why boosted posts are pure dopamine (not dollars)✅ The sneaky algorithm traps keeping agents stuck on vanity metrics✅ Why you need more than views—you need a journey✅ What a real real estate funnel looks like (and how to start building one)✅ How to stop paying for eyeballs and start building authority Whether you’re spending $50 or $500 a month on boosted posts, you’re essentially renting attention that vanishes the second you stop paying. I'm diving deep into the real difference between engagement and momentum, and why building a strategic system beats boosting every time. 🎯 This episode is a must-listen for agents ready to grow their business using Facebook ads for realtors, ditch vanity metrics, and build out a scalable real estate marketing strategy that actually works.

    Your “Professional” Persona Is Killing Your Business

    Real Estate Agents! The algorithm isn’t your problem. The problem is you’ve been showing up as a filtered, shrink-wrapped version of yourself  and wondering why no one’s connecting.

We’ll cover: Why your “too much-ness” is your superpowerHow to stop performing and start documentingThe one mindset shift that will make you 100x more confident on cameraAnd why your weird, unfiltered, nugget-in-the-purse moments are the actual brand strategy This is about building a brand that feels like you, not a robot with a ring light. It’s about documenting who you are, so your people can actually find and trust you. So if you’ve been hiding behind graphics, scripts, or a Paris filter, this is your wake-up call.

    How to Use Instagram Carousels to Build Trust, Authority & Clients in 2025

    Still posting static quotes or Canva-pretty testimonials and wondering why your engagement is tanking on social media? In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on exactly how to use carousels the right waym so you’re not just making things “look nice,” but actually creating content that connects, converts, and moves people through the psychological journey from stranger to client. Here’s what we dive into: Why carousels (and reels) are the only content formats that still work The truth about Canva and why most agents are using it wrong How to structure a carousel with a hook, story, and payoff (aka content that actually lands) Swipe-worthy examples you can steal and adapt today How often to post them, what not to do, and the one carousel mistake that kills trust This isn’t about templates. It’s about storytelling, strategy, and building a brand that’s rooted in connection, not aesthetics.

    The Truth About Tech and ‘Personal Touch’ in Real Estate

    Let’s debunk a myth that’s been holding way too many real estate agents back: 👉 “If I go digital, I’ll lose the personal touch.” This belief is keeping agents stuck in burnout mode, doing everything manually, thinking that being busy = being valuable. But here’s the truth: tech doesn’t make your relationships less personal… it makes them stronger, more consistent, and way more scalable. In this episode, I'm diving into: 👉 The real reason agents resist tech (hint: it’s not just about learning curves) 👉 Why doing everything “belly-to-belly” is keeping your business small 👉 How the right digital tools (CRMs, automations, AI) can actually make your clients feel MORE seen, not less 👉 How to map your client journey and remove friction points to deliver an unforgettable experience 👉 A mindset shift that will free up your time, your energy, and your sanity If you’ve been hesitant to embrace tech because you’re afraid of losing connection, this is the episode that flips that fear on its head. ✨ Plus, I’ll share: ✔️ My favorite examples of thoughtful automation ✔️ How to personalize at scale without losing your mind ✔️ The tools we use behind the scenes to serve at a higher level (while working less) Do you have questions about The Listings Lab and our programs and want to see if we'd be a good fit?

    “Providing Value” Is Killing Your Content (Here’s What To Do Instead)

    Let’s clear something up, once and for all: If you're a real estate agent still being told to “just provide value” on social media… you’re being set up to blend in and get ignored. The truth? The definition of “value” in real estate marketing has changed, and most agents haven’t caught up. Your tips, tricks, and templated posts aren’t building trust… they’re just adding to the noise. In this episode, I’ll walk you through: ➡️ Why your current content strategy isn’t converting (even if it worked before) ➡️ What “providing value” actually means in today’s market ➡️ The shift from educational to belief-shifting content that positions you as the go-to agent ➡️ How to build authority without being salesy or saying the same thing as every other agent 📲 Whether you're new to content or have been posting for years, this will help you stop second-guessing your strategy and start creating content that actually attracts clients. ✅ Real examples ✅ Clear content formulas ✅ Practical takeaways you can implement today This is about turning your social media into a powerful lead-attraction machine, not a digital flyer or billboard. ⚠️ Heads up: This is a preview of what we’re diving into live at our upcoming event in Calgary.

    The Instagram Audit Every Realtor Needs (Before You Post Again)

    If you’ve ever stared at your Instagram profile and thought, “Why isn’t this working?”, you’re not alone, and this episode is going to show you exactly why. Today, I’m doing real-time Instagram audits for real estate agents (maybe just like you) and walking through the subtle shifts that can completely change how your account performs, without needing to reinvent the wheel. Here’s what we cover: ✅ The one Instagram field that’s actually searchable (and how most agents waste it) ✅ What your bio needs to say in the first 3 seconds to make people want to stick around ✅ Why your pinned posts matter more than your highlights — and what they should say ✅ What to do instead of “Linktree” (because yes… I have opinions) ✅ How to improve your content hooks so your posts stop getting ignored 📲 This isn’t just surface-level stuff, this is strategy you can implement while you listen. Grab your phone, open your profile, and let’s make it better together. Because here’s the deal: Pretty branding means nothing if no one knows who you help or how to work with you.
