    What Type of Agent Are You?

    Send us Fan Mail Second Half of 2026 — It's Not Too Late The second half of the year is here, and it's the perfect time for every real estate agent to stop, reflect, and reset. In this episode of the Rick Fuller Podcast, Rick challenges agents to ask the questions that can change the direction of their business: Are you on track to achieve the goals you set at the beginning of the year? Have you taken the actions necessary to create the results you want? What needs to change in the next six months? Real estate continues to be one of the fastest paths to creating financial opportunity, but success doesn’t happen by accident. It requires intentional action, consistency, and a willingness to adjust when needed. Rick breaks down the Five Types of Real Estate Agents and helps you identify where you are today: The No-Time Agent — disconnected from the business and needing to re-engage.The Part-Time Agent — balancing another career while building a plan toward full-time production.The On-Time Agent — showing up consistently, building relationships, and creating momentum.The Overtime Agent — productive but overwhelmed, needing leverage and better systems.The Leveraged Agent — using people, technology, and systems to grow a sustainable business.The goal isn’t to create dozens of new goals. The goal is to identify the one or two actions that will have the greatest impact and commit to executing them. Rick’s challenge to every agent: identify where you are, share it with your coach or mentor, and create a clear plan to move to the next level. There are still six months left in 2026. It’s not too late to finish strong. Support the show

    New Build vs. Resale Part 4: Building a Long-Term New-Home Sales Business

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to our New Home Value series. So far, Rick has covered why buyers are choosing new construction, how agents bring value to the process, and how to generate more leads through new home communities. But in Part 4, we’re digging into something that separates the occasional sale from a thriving career: how to build a long-term, sustainable new-home sales business.

I’ll share the exact weekly, monthly, and annual action items you need to stay relevant and visible in the new-home market. I’ll even cover what to say when visiting builder reps—so you’re not just showing up, but showing up prepared.

    New Build vs. Resale: Are You Taking Advantage of this Market Opportunity?

    Send us Fan Mail CNBC recently featured Compass CEO Robert Reffkin. In the interview, Reffkin highlighted a significant shift in the housing market: the price gap between new construction homes and existing homes has narrowed dramatically. He noted that, on average, new homes are now priced just $100 more than resale homes. This is a notable change from previous years, where new builds typically commanded a much higher premium. This development underscores the increasing competitiveness of new construction in the current market. That being said, are you taking advantage of the new home communities in your area? As the market shifts, many new build communities are creating commission opportunities for real estate agents. Listen in as Rick shares with his team why now is the perfect time to become the new build specialist for your clients.  https://rickfullerinc.com/new-build/ New Home vs. Resale Home Buyer Perspective downloadable Support the show
