    Sorry-not-Sorry: Your "Link in Bio" Won't Close Deals w/ Belle Tunstall [REWIND]

    If you're an ambitious new agent feeling overwhelmed, broke, or like an imposter, this conversation with top producer Belle Tunstall is worth revisiting. Belle went from crying in her car, struggling to stay afloat, and borrowing $75 from her sister for running shoes to becoming a 30 Under 30 honoree and consistently closing 65+ deals a year. Her advantage isn't a luxury car, a viral Instagram account, or looking successful before she was successful.  It's this: get the reps, prepare relentlessly, and build the discipline to perform. What You'll Learn: How Belle stretched a single transaction into multiple pieces of authority-building content.Why future top agents chase low-stakes reps through showings, rentals, inspections, and other agents' clients.How to stop "Tokyo drifting" into your 9:00 AM meetings.Why going viral isn't the goal on social media.How Belle protects her time and why top production requires systems that keep you from playing defense all day.Why discipline is a muscle, and why changing your results as a real estate agent requires changing the systems behind your life and business.The high-volume one-two punch: Belle also breaks down when you've earned the right to stop doing everything yourself, how a showing partner helped take her business to the next level, and why leverage works best after you've put in the reps yourself.

    Why Doing More Is Making You Worse

    In this episode of the Uncommon Real Estate Podcast, Chris breaks down why so many agents stay stuck in “dabbler” mode—trying door knocking, open houses, cold calling, sphere of influence, and the next new strategy without sticking with anything long enough to develop mastery. Chris walks through what that can look like with your SOI, cold calling, or open houses and explains why you need to give your chosen pillar at least 90 days of intense focus before deciding whether it works. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why constantly switching strategies keeps you from masteryThe difference between dabbling and becoming a professionalHow to choose one lead-generation pillar and go all-inWhy repetition makes you better at scripts, objections, and conversationsHow Chris approaches SOI, cold calling, and open housesWhy you shouldn’t judge a strategy after only a few weeksThe power of committing to one approach for 90 daysHit Chris up:  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ChrisCraddockBusiness/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/craddrock/RESOURCES:  🏠 The Redux Group: hire or refer Chris’s Real Estate Team Serving Northern VA & Richmond VA, Washington DC, and Maryland ⚡ DMV Agents, Join Our Team: Agent Opportunities with The Redux Group 🧠 Worldwide Agent Mastermind: Join the Uncommon Real Estate Community Facebook Group 💰BEST Text Marketing Automation Software: let the power of AI bring your dormant leads to the surface so you can spend more time closing deals! 🧑‍🎓AGENTS, get a 25% discount on your pre-licensing and continuing education from The CE Shop with promo code UNCOMMON25 but only if you go through the link here.

    How I Bought My First Rental Making $50K a Year

    You don’t need to be rich to start building wealth through real estate. Chris bought his first rental property in 2008 when he was making around $50,000 a year, raising a growing family, and eventually JV'd with his mom to buy his first rental property. In this episode of the Uncommon Real Estate Podcast, Chris shares how he purchased that first rental and breaks down several ways real estate professionals can start acquiring properties even when cash is limited.  Chris also discusses the potential tax advantages of owning investment real estate, including cost segregation and depreciation, and why real estate professionals should talk with qualified tax professionals about strategies that may apply to their individual situation. If you’re an agent who spends every day helping other people buy real estate but still haven’t started building your own portfolio, this episode is designed to help you think differently about what it takes to get started. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why partnering can help you get into a deal when you don't have enough capital yourselfHow an undesirable property can become an opportunity when the problem is fixableWhy house hacking can be a powerful entry point into real estate investingHow buying a property you can improve may help you build equityWays renting rooms or separate living spaces can offset housing expensesHow cost segregation and depreciation may create tax advantages for qualifying real estate ownersWhy getting started can matter more than waiting for the “perfect” financial situationHit Chris up:  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ChrisCraddockBusiness/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/craddrock/RESOURCES:  🏠 The Redux Group: hire or refer Chris’s Real Estate Team Serving Northern VA & Richmond VA, Washington DC, and Maryland ⚡ DMV Agents, Join Our Team: Agent Opportunities with The Redux Group 🧠 Worldwide Agent Mastermind: Join the Uncommon Real Estate Community Facebook Group 💰BEST Text Marketing Automation Software: let the power of AI bring your dormant leads to the surface so you can spend more time closing deals! 🧑‍🎓AGENTS, get a 25% discount on your pre-licensing and continuing education from The CE Shop with promo code UNCOMMON25 but only if you go through the link here.

    Fire Your CPA If They Haven’t Told You About Cost Segregation [REPLAY]

    What if buying more real estate could actually help you keep more of the money you’re already making? In this throwback episode of Uncommon Real Estate, Chris breaks down one of his favorite wealth-building strategies: using real estate ownership, depreciation, and cost segregation to potentially reduce your taxable income while acquiring assets that can produce cash flow, principal paydown, and appreciation. Chris shares how discovering the principles in Tax-Free Wealth changed the way he thought about taxes—and why he believes real estate professionals should have a CPA who proactively understands strategies like cost segregation instead of simply telling them what they owe each year. He also walks through his own experience of acquiring additional properties and saving nearly $90,000 in taxes, turning money that otherwise would have gone toward taxes into real estate that could continue building his net worth. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why Chris says, “If your CPA has not talked to you about cost segregation, you are with the wrong CPA.”How cost segregation can accelerate depreciation on investment propertiesWhy qualifying as a real estate professional can have major tax implicationsHow Chris used additional real estate purchases to save nearly $90,000 in taxesHit Chris up:  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ChrisCraddockBusiness/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/craddrock/RESOURCES:  🏠 The Redux Group: hire or refer Chris’s Real Estate Team Serving Northern VA & Richmond VA, Washington DC, and Maryland ⚡ DMV Agents, Join Our Team: Agent Opportunities with The Redux Group 🧠 Worldwide Agent Mastermind: Join the Uncommon Real Estate Community Facebook Group 💰BEST Text Marketing Automation Software: let the power of AI bring your dormant leads to the surface so you can spend more time closing deals! 🧑‍🎓AGENTS, get a 25% discount on your pre-licensing and continuing education from The CE Shop with promo code UNCOMMON25 but only if you go through the link here.

    The Not-So-Secret "Secret" to Getting More Clients

    In this episode of the Uncommon Real Estate Podcast, Chris breaks down why open houses remain one of the most overlooked opportunities for agents to generate new business.  The goal is to meet potential buyers and sellers, uncover what they actually need, and set the next appointment before they walk out the door. Chris shares the mistakes that cause agents to host dozens of open houses without landing a single client, why the “nosy neighbor” could actually be your next listing, and how asking better questions can reveal opportunities most agents completely miss. You’ll learn: How to choose open houses that are actually worth your timeThe property details you need to know before anyone walks through the doorWhy setting an appointment should be your primary objectiveHow to turn “I’m just looking” into a real conversation about motivationWhy nosy neighbors can be some of your best seller leadsHow off-market properties can help differentiate you from other agentsWhy shorter, more frequent open houses can dramatically increase your opportunitiesHow asking more—and better—questions helps you convert more prospects into clientsHit Chris up:  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ChrisCraddockBusiness/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/craddrock/RESOURCES:  🏠 The Redux Group: hire or refer Chris’s Real Estate Team Serving Northern VA & Richmond VA, Washington DC, and Maryland ⚡ DMV Agents, Join Our Team: Agent Opportunities with The Redux Group 🧠 Worldwide Agent Mastermind: Join the Uncommon Real Estate Community Facebook Group 💰BEST Text Marketing Automation Software: let the power of AI bring your dormant leads to the surface so you can spend more time closing deals! 🧑‍🎓AGENTS, get a 25% discount on your pre-licensing and continuing education from The CE Shop with promo code UNCOMMON25 but only if you go through the link here.

    Don’t Wait til January: How Kelli Went From Broke to 8 Deals a Month [REPLAY]

    When other agents slow down, you don’t have to. Keep talking to people. Keep following up. Keep solving problems. Keep doing the work closest to the money. The harder the problem, the fewer people willing to solve it—and sometimes, the bigger the opportunity on the other side. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: How Kelli went from survival mode to consistently closing dealsWhy “everything is figureoutable” became more than just a motivational phraseHow solving difficult real estate problems can create disproportionately large opportunitiesHow Kelli changed personally as her business began to changeWhy the fall and holiday season can be an opportunity to gain ground instead of an excuse to coastConnect with Kelli Phone: 484-643-8758Hit Chris up:  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ChrisCraddockBusiness/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/craddrock/RESOURCES:  🏠 The Redux Group: hire or refer Chris’s Real Estate Team Serving Northern VA & Richmond VA, Washington DC, and Maryland ⚡ DMV Agents, Join Our Team: Agent Opportunities with The Redux Group 🧠 Worldwide Agent Mastermind: Join the Uncommon Real Estate Community Facebook Group 💰BEST Text Marketing Automation Software: let the power of AI bring your dormant leads to the surface so you can spend more time closing deals! 🧑‍🎓AGENTS, get a 25% discount on your pre-licensing and continuing education from The CE Shop with promo code UNCOMMON25 but only if you go through the link here.
