    Episode 279 of The Smart Agents Podcast features David Cinelli, Real Estate Broker at Royal LePage Signature and one of Canada’s top 1% real estate professionals. With nearly two decades of experience in Toronto’s ultra-competitive market David has built his business on precision, discipline, and data-driven strategy.

In this conversation, David breaks down: ✅ How to remove emotion from pricing and anchor sellers in reality ✅ Why staging and marketing strategy directly impact final sale price ✅ The long-term investment mindset every buyer needs to understand ✅ How disciplined routines and structured goal-setting fuel consistent production ✅ Why agents must protect their pipeline now to control next year’s income If you’re an agent looking to sharpen your pricing conversations, elevate your marketing strategy, and build a predictable, sustainable business, this episode delivers practical insight you can implement immediately.

    Episode 278 of The Smart Agents Podcast features a grounded, practical conversation with Luke Gilbert—sales coach, property management company owner, and one of Boise, Idaho’s most consistent producers. Luke’s career wasn’t built on overnight success or viral tactics.

From his early days as a bartender and electrician to becoming Rookie of the Year and a top-ranked Keller Williams agent, Luke’s journey reflects what sustainable success in real estate actually looks like.

He also explains why AI should be used to enhance efficiency, not replace fundamentals, and how his coaching philosophy centers on helping agents design repeatable systems they can actually stick with. Throughout our conversation, Luke breaks down: ✅ Why slow, intentional progress often beats chasing quick wins ✅ How door knocking and open houses still drive real results ✅ The importance of building systems that prevent burnout ✅ How to align ambition, family, and long-term success in real estate Learn More About 2 Degrees North Coaching: https://twodegreesnorth.online/ 📕 Claim Your FREE Home Selling Tips Book Sample 📕Go to: https://authorify.com/sample 🔥🔥🔥  Get More Real Estate Training and content: https://linktr.ee/Smartagents 🔥🔥🔥 👉 Want to be a guest?

    Episode 276: FoolProof FSBO: How Tim Street Is Helping Sellers Win On Their Own

    Episode 276 of The Smart Agents Podcast features a candid and unconventional conversation with Tim Street, a former top-producing real estate agent who made the rare decision to walk away from traditional commissions and rethink how homes are sold. After years of listing success—often selling homes faster and for more money than competing properties—Tim reached an ethical crossroads. He began noticing how unrealistic pricing promises, long days on market, and misaligned incentives were quietly costing homeowners tens of thousands of dollars in lost equity. Rather than leaning into those systems, Tim shifted his focus to education and built FoolProof FSBO, a structured framework designed to help homeowners launch a professional-quality listing in just seven days with clarity and confidence. In this episode, Tim explains why most For Sale By Owner sellers fail, not because FSBO is inherently flawed, but because sellers lack a clear blueprint. He breaks down the critical role of pricing strategy, professional photography, inspections, and legal guidance—and why skipping those steps creates stigma that’s often impossible to recover from. He also shares why empathy, honesty, and clear expectations consistently outperform hype and overpromising. In this conversation, Tim breaks down:✅ Why most FSBO sellers fail without a clear process ✅ How overpricing and long days on market quietly destroy seller equity ✅ Why professional photos, inspections, and legal support are non-negotiable ✅ Where agents truly add value—and where incentives can break down ✅ How clarity and ethics lead to better outcomes for everyone involved Learn More From Tim👇 Website: https://foolprooffsbo.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/foolprooffsbo YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@foolprooffsbo Get The FoolProof FSBO Ebook: https://foolprooffsbo.com/ebook 📕 Claim Your FREE Home Selling Tips Book Sample 📕Go to: https://authorify.com/sample 🔥🔥🔥  Get More Real Estate Training and content: https://linktr.ee/Smartagents 🔥🔥🔥 👉 Want to be a guest?

Kyle has spent more than 15 years helping service-based businesses grow through SEO, website messaging, and conversion strategy.
