    John McNellis: Why There Is No Such Thing As Passive Real Estate

    Veteran developer John McNellis went from courtroom to construction, surviving recessions, overpaying, and a near-foreclosure to build 40+ years of wins. He shares the unsexy truths: arithmetic over emotion, patience over hype, partnerships built on trust and pay, and why "passive" real estate is a lie. Smart risk, persistence, and character-driven success.   In this episode, Cheryl Knowlton and John McNellis discuss: From lawyer to long-game real estate developer Biggest mistakes: overpaying, overleveraging, overbuilding Partnership longevity: treat people well, pay well Arithmetic over emotion: disciplined deal selection Market cycles: patience, timing, and selective action   Key Takeaways: Disciplined developers win by prioritizing arithmetic over emotion, resisting desperation, and walking away from skinny returns - even when the property looks irresistible, or the market feels hot and urgent. Avoid the trifecta of overpaying, overleveraging, and overbuilding because compounded risk kills. Loyalty lasts when you treat partners well and pay generously. There's no such thing as "passive" real estate. Patience through cycles enables selective action, prudent cash positioning, and the confidence to ignore headlines, wait out froth, and buy quality assets when others fear entering the market.   "The biggest lie in real estate is 'passive investment.' No such thing as a passive investment." - John McNellis   About the guest, John McNellis: John McNellis is a principal with McNellis Partners, a commercial development firm he cofounded in the mid-1980s in Northern California.  After graduating from the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of California Hastings College of the Law, McNellis began his career as a lawyer in 1976 in San Francisco. More interested in business than in law, he started fixing up houses in his spare time and gradually worked his way to more complicated projects. At 28, he began his career as a retail developer.   Discover how you can look 'poor' to the IRS and rich to a lender.

    Kirk Baumgartner: The Lost Art Every Great Agent Needs

    Are you feeling burnt out or stuck on the real estate hamster wheel? Kirk Baumgartner shares how identity, deep listening, and daily gratitude transform chaos into clarity, so you can serve clients better, find real joy, and build a business aligned with your values.   In this episode, Cheryl Knowlton and Kirk Baumgartner discuss: Identity foundation through authenticity and aligned personal values Servant leadership mindset over transactional commission focus Deep listening skills to understand clients' needs Daily gratitude and grounding to maintain presence Strategies to prevent burnout and rediscover joy   Key Takeaways: Building a sustainable business starts with knowing yourself deeply, aligning actions to core values, and leading with service rather than chasing transactions or short-term wins. Deep listening reveals unspoken needs and earns trust. Practicing daily gratitude and "I am" statements keeps our minds stable and our focus centered. It is useful to practice gardening or breathing exercises to ground yourself amid chaos. If burnout hits, revisit what you love, niche down, delegate weaknesses, and rebuild routines that support presence, joy, and client-first leadership.   "I'm going to help you get this house… not look at it as a transaction, but as a service to get you what you want, and let the chips fall where they may." - Kirk Baumgartner   About the guest, Kirk Baumgartner: Kirk Baumgartner is a suicide prevention speaker for youth who is passionate about helping teens and young adults discover hope, purpose, and resilience. As the oldest of eleven children, a father of three, and a grandfather of seven, Kirk knows firsthand the power of family, connection, and community support in overcoming life's darkest moments.

    [Classic Rewind] Dave Rosenberg: The Real Estate Power Producers Playbook

    In this Classic Rewind episode, Cheryl Knowlton sits down with leadership expert & former naval aviator Dave Rosenberg to talk about radical accountability, how to build teams that actually do what they need to do, when they need to do it, and with accuracy.   In this episode, Cheryl Knowlton and Dave Rosenberg discuss: Radical accountability's three elements: mechanics, mindset, and modeling Importance of clear job descriptions, processes, and formal training with testing Counseling and curiosity instead of yelling when mistakes happen Leadership's impact on safety: fight/flight/freeze/fawn responses to toxic behavior Leaders must "walk the talk" to build trust, accountability, and high-performing teams    Key Takeaways: Radical accountability rests on three legs: mechanics, mindset, and modeling, and when any one of these is missing, performance, trust, and culture all suffer. Clear job descriptions, documented processes, and written policies remove "I didn't know" as an excuse.  Training must be formal, repeatable, and include testing and practice (like role plays) because without proof of competence, leaders can't fairly hold people accountable or diagnose whether problems are systemic or personal. When leaders yell, they trigger fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses, not learning or growth, and the alternative is a calm "counseling" conversation that looks for either broken systems or misaligned behavior. Team members watch what leaders do more than what they say.    "If you want your team to grow, we need to grow as leaders. It's just that simple." - Dave Rosenberg   About the guest, Dave Rosenberg: Dave Rosenberg is a professional keynote speaker and leadership development consultant. He guides teams and leaders to foster a culture of accountability that accelerates results. As a leading authority on high-performance leadership, accountability, and team dynamics, Dave Rosenberg is frequently hired as a leadership speaker, accountability speaker, and change management speaker. Dave's engaging, interactive, and insightful speaking style makes him a preferred keynote speaker for businesses aiming for the best conferences and events. After 30+ years in leadership positions, Dave's leadership experience is practical, not theoretical. He has been the president of 4 organizations and has consulted with hundreds of companies across the United States. His clients represent a large cross-section of industry, from manufacturing, retail, construction, engineering, farming, trucking, communications, and service.   Connect with Dave Rosenberg: Website: https://lockedonleadership.com/about-dave-rosenberg/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daverosenbergspeaks/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lockedonleadership      CONNECT WITH CHERYL: Website: www.cherylknows.com  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwvWKXBC6fKn1dLGY11hxIg  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theknowltonteam/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cherylknowlton/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cherylknows/  Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel Alvarez   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

    [Classic Rewind] Clay Johnson: Building a Real Estate Life of Daily Excellence

    In this Classic Rewind episode, Host Cheryl Knowlton sits down with long-time friend and lender partner Clay Johnson, Regional Manager at Guaranteed Rate Affinity, to unpack the real driver of success in real estate: habits, not willpower. From Clay's 27+ year lending journey to practical routines, leadership insights, and breaking bad habits by replacing them, this conversation is packed with timeless wisdom you can actually apply.   In this episode, Cheryl Knowlton and Clay Johnson discuss: Power and impact of daily habits Replacing bad habits instead of "dropping" them Starting each day with small, non‑negotiable wins Consistent, proactive communication in real estate Incremental growth by focusing on one to three habits at a time   Key Takeaways: Habits quietly run your life because when you train them intentionally, they become "autopilot" behaviors that move your business and life forward without relying on motivation or willpower. You can't just drop a bad habit; you must replace it. Simple, consistent morning victories like movement, reading, prayer/meditation prime your physical, mental, and emotional state to lead and serve at a higher level. In real estate, consistent communication is a superpower, especially when it's hard.  Real change comes from focusing on a few key behaviors at a time, and instead of trying to overhaul everything in January, choose one to three habits, lock them in with consistency, then stack new ones only after those are solid.   "A habit is never dropped; it's replaced… What's a bad habit that we're going to lose, what's a good habit we've been wanting to pick up?" - Clay Johnson   About the guest, Clay Johnson: Clients looking for a smart mortgage consultant and a company that really cares go to Clay Johnson and Guaranteed Rate Affinity for all their home financing needs. They can count on him to listen and understand their vision, and stay committed to doing what's in their best interest. Clay knows that every client has different financial goals, so he takes the time to understand their vision in order to recommend smart mortgage solutions. As a consultant, he is backed by a dedicated team of loan assistants, processors, underwriters, and closing specialists. He and his team consistently deliver smart choices because they're highly trained and well-versed in all aspects of the industry.

    Dan Mullen: Real Decisions: The Financial Impact of Renting and Owning

    Renting feels cheaper, until you do the math. In this episode, Dan Mullen and Cheryl Knowlton unpack the financial power of homeownership: appreciation, leverage, tax perks, and compound growth. Learn why buying can beat renting, how HECMs protect retirees, and what real estate pros must teach clients to build generational wealth.   In this episode, Cheryl Knowlton and Dan Mullen discuss: Rent vs. own: full financial comparison Compound interest and long-term wealth impact Appreciation, leverage, and equity explained HECMs (reverse mortgages) for retirement housing Educating agents — financial literacy and mastery   Key Takeaways: When you include appreciation, maintenance, taxes, and rent growth, buying often outperforms renting long-term by millions sometimes. Leverage amplifies returns because appreciation applies to the whole asset, not just your down payment, creating disproportionate wealth across decades for homeowners and their families. Rent tends to rise; homeowners gain forced equity, stability, and inflation protection. Compound interest and time dramatically increase homeownership's advantages; even modest annual appreciation compounded over decades can result in vastly greater net worth compared with renting and investing small differences consistently. Real estate pros must teach financial context, quantify scenarios, and collaborate with CPAs and advisors to serve clients.   "In the example in the book... it's like $160,000 of wealth difference in favor of the owner just because they own the house versus renting." - Dan Mullen   Discover how you can look 'poor' to the IRS and rich to a lender.

    [Classic Rewind] Dale Anderson: Surviving Violent Encounters in Real Estate

    When your entire job revolves around meeting strangers in empty properties, safety isn't optional; it's survival. In this episode, retired detective Dale Anderson shares hard-earned, real-world tactics to help real estate agents recognize danger, trust their instincts, and make it home alive.   In this episode, Cheryl Knowlton and Dale Anderson discuss: Why real estate is far more dangerous than most agents realize The tragic story and lasting legacy of Beverly Carter Situational awareness and trusting your gut Open house and showing safety strategies Using tools, habits, and training to prevent violence   Key Takeaways: Good-hearted people often underestimate danger because they don't naturally think like predators, which makes proactive safety training essential. Violent criminals frequently target real estate professionals based on the perception that agents are wealthy and vulnerable. Simple preparation, like how you park, where you stand in a home, and knowing your exits, can dramatically change the outcome of a critical moment. Listening to your intuition and acting on it immediately, even if it feels "rude" or overcautious, may be the difference between surviving and becoming a headline. Safety tools and habits (avoiding driving clients, not working alone, choosing the right footwear) are not inconveniences; they are lifelines for you and the people who want you to come home.   "Ladies and gentlemen, if you're ever in a situation where someone's going to pull you into a van or into a trunk, whatever is going to happen after you get stuffed in that van or that trunk is way worse than standing there and fighting to survive at that moment." - Dale Anderson   About the guest, Dale Anderson: Dale Anderson is a retired police officer with roughly 30 years in law enforcement, including 20 years at the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and 13 years as a detective focused on the most violent offenders in Clark County, Nevada. After retiring in 2019 and moving to North Idaho, he founded Frontline Training and Consulting, shifting from teaching cops to training real estate professionals and the general public in real-world safety, situational awareness, and surviving violent encounters. Now a national speaker, he draws on his extensive experience with violent criminals to help agents recognize danger, trust their instincts, and build habits that get them home safely at the end of the day.   National Association of Realtors Safety Resources: https://www.nar.realtor/safety  Forewarn App: https://www.forewarn.com/    Discover how you can look 'poor' to the IRS and rich to a lender.

    [Classic Rewind] Dan Mullen: Stop Overpaying the IRS: Tax Strategies Every Realtor Must Know

    Most agents work their adorable little guts out… then get crushed by taxes and surprise IRS bills. This week on Real Estate Elevated, Cheryl sits down with Dan Mullen, CPA & mortgage pro, who has literally built his career saving realtors from tax disasters.   In this episode, Cheryl Knowlton and Dan Mullen discuss: Planning ahead to avoid self‑employment tax "surprises." Using S‑corp elections to reduce self‑employment taxes Properly documenting travel, meals, and vehicle deductions Regular, proactive check‑ins with your accountant Investing in your own product: real estate for long‑term wealth   Key Takeaways: Proactive tax planning is non‑negotiable for agents who don't want to be blindsided at tax time.  The S‑corp election can dramatically cut self‑employment taxes when structured correctly, and setting a reasonable salary and letting the rest flow as distributions is where much of the savings happens. Travel, meals, and vehicle deductions are powerful but highly audited, so documentation is everything; but clear board minutes, mileage logs, and receipts turn "red flag" categories into audit‑proof benefits. Treat quarterly taxes like a standing business appointment rather than an optional chore, with calendar reminders and regular check‑ins with your accountant keeping you out of panic mode and in control of cash flow. Truly wealthy agents don't just sell real estate—they own it.    "Real estate builds so much wealth. It does for even people living in their own homes. It certainly does for investors." - Dan Mullen   About the guest, Dan Mullen: Dan Mullen is a mortgage advisor and a partner at a tax firm, a combination that gives him a unique advantage in helping self-employed clients qualify for mortgages. Because these borrowers are underwritten using tax returns rather than W-2s and pay stubs, Dan's deep understanding of tax documentation allows him to navigate the process more effectively.
