    How Introverts Outsell in Real Estate | Sheri Putzke

    Think you have to cold call 5 strangers a day to succeed in real estate? Sheri Putzke built a 21-year career proving that authenticity beats scripts. In this episode of the Sip, Sell, Repeat Podcast, host Dr. Cynthia Tant sits down with Sheri Putzke, a premier agent with Windermere Real Estate celebrating 21 years in residential and new construction sales. Sheri shares how an introverted mother of young children became the family breadwinner, what sitting in model homes for 10 years taught her about building realities, and how she built a dual-state business serving Seattle and Palm Springs. 🎙 In this episode, you'll learn: ✔️ How to build a thriving real estate referral base without cold calling ✔️ What 10 years on-site in model homes reveals about construction quality and resale inspections ✔️ Hidden expenses in new construction: appliances, blinds, and interest rate spikes ✔️ Why tech layoffs and proposed wealth taxes are shifting Seattle buyers to Palm Springs second homes Key questions answered in this episode: Q: How can introverted agents generate leads effectively? A: Focus on your natural sphere of influence and shared passions (such as fitness, pets, or community groups) rather than aggressive cold calling. Q: What is the biggest financial risk when purchasing a new build? A: Build delays can stretch loan closing out to 9 months, leaving buyers exposed to interest rate increases if their rate is not locked. _____________ 👤 GUEST: Sheri Putzke – Windermere Real Estate Sheri Putzke is a top-producing real estate professional and founder of the Putzke Team at Windermere Real Estate.
