    New Agent Survival Guide

    Real talk — this business will chew you up and spit you out if you’re not ready for it. From the emotional rollercoaster of your first deal to learning that “flexible schedule” really means you’re on call 24/7, we’re diving into the things no one told us when we started in real estate. In this episode, we’re sharing the lessons we learned the hard way .. like some  reality vs expectations, money, mindset, boundaries (yes, even with clients), and build a business that doesn’t burn you out. If you’re a new agent trying to figure out which way is up, or a seasoned pro who just wants to nod along and say, “Yep, been there,” this one’s for you. Grab your coffee (or your cocktail, we don’t judge),  it’s time for some unfiltered real estate truth. Like what you heard?

    Why Does It Feel Like There’s No Inventory (When There Actually Is)?

    If you’ve been scrolling MLS and your client has been refreshing Zillow thinking, “There’s nothing out there!” ...you’re not alone. But here’s the thing: inventory isn’t as low as it feels. In this episode, we dig into why the market gives off that low-supply vibe, even when the numbers say otherwise. From sellers clinging to their golden 3% mortgage rates, to buyers being pickier than a toddler at dinner, and new construction homes hiding “off-market” where casual searchers won’t see them - we are going to break down what we see is really going on. Plus, we’ll talk about why longer days on market doesn’t always mean doom and gloom. If you want the inside scoop on how to read between the lines of today’s housing market (without losing your mind in the process), this one’s for you. Like what you heard?

    Agent Meetups That Don't Suck

    Let’s be real… most real estate “networking” events are the equivalent of cold coffee and stale name tags. Snooze-fest. But it doesn’t have to be that way. In this episode of Contracts & Chaos, we’re diving into how to host agent meetups that actually matter—where connections feel natural, conversations spark new ideas, and collaboration beats competition every time. From ditching the awkward icebreakers to creating a space where agents actually want to show up, we will share how building community can transform your business (and your sanity). Because when agents stop seeing each other as competition and start acting like community? That’s where the magic happens. If you’re tired of meetups that suck, this one’s for you.

    Don't Get Fired. Do Better.

    Nobody likes to talk about it, but let’s be honest — it happens. Clients fire their agents. And when they do, it’s usually because they didn’t feel heard, supported, or truly represented. In this episode, we’re digging into the hard truths about why clients start shopping for a “better fit” — and how we, as agents, can step up to make sure we’re the ones delivering the experience they deserve from the start. We’ll cover the top reasons clients switch agents, what that says about our industry, and the specific ways we can raise the bar — from communication and trust to advocacy and follow-through. Because here’s the deal: when we do our jobs well, clients shouldn’t ever feel the need to fire their Realtor. Period. Like what you heard?
