Contracts & Chaos

Let’s be real—posting random real estate stats and stock photos isn’t moving the needle anymore.

In this episode, I’m sharing how to create content that actually converts—content your audience wants, remembers, and responds to. We’re talking:
📅 School calendar magnets that keep your name on the fridge year-round
📍 Hyperlocal posts that make you the go-to resource in your community
💛 Coming from contribution so your...

Icks. We all have them. Don't even lie. 

Whether it's your great aunt playing with her dentures, the sound of that stranger AGGRESSIVELY eating their lunch, or sometimes the feel of dry hands against micro fiber.... we all have them. Even in real estate. 

Here is a fun, light hearted episode going over some of the big ones for us. And maybe they are yours, too? Send us your top real estate ick!

Whether you're dreaming of beach days and passive income or just trying to figure out how to slow down without losing momentum, this episode is for you. This week, we’re digging into a topic a lot of agents avoid until it’s way too late: exit plans.

We’re talking retirement in real estate—what it means, what your options are, and how to build a plan that doesn’t leave you burnt out or broke. Because let’s face it: this industry...

This week, we're flipping the script. A couple of weeks ago, we dove deep into what drives buyers — and now, it’s time to talk seller motivations.

Because let’s be real: it’s rarely just about needing more square footage or downsizing. There’s almost always a deeper reason behind that “for sale” sign.

Whether it’s a job transfer, family shift, financial change, or just feeling done with the place, today we’re peeling back the la...

Hey friend—Q3 is here (already?!), and you know what that means: it’s time for our 12 Week Year check-in! But this time, we’re shaking things up.

Inspired by last week’s deep dive into The One Thing by Gary Keller, this episode is all about laser focus. We're asking: what’s the ONE thing that, if you committed to it this quarter, would make everything else easier or even unnecessary?

We’re getting real about what’s working, what...

You know those books that don’t just give you a few good quotes — they straight up check you? Yeah… The ONE Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan did that.

In this episode, we’re talking about how this book shook up the way we think about goals, priorities, and doing all the things (spoiler: maybe you shouldn’t be doing all the things 👀).

We’re chatting about:

• The one question that stopped us in our tracks
• Why multitasking is a lia...

Not all buyers are created equal—and neither are their reasons for jumping into the real estate market. In this episode, we're digging into what really motivates buyers right now (hint: it’s not always about square footage and granite countertops).

From “we need more space before the next baby arrives” to “we’re done with city life and ready for chickens,” we’re sharing the real-life reasons people are buying homes—and how unde...

Let’s be real—some of the biggest obstacles in real estate don’t come from the market… they come from between your ears. 😬

In this episode, we’re tackling the limiting beliefs that creep in when you're trying to grow your business, serve your clients, and keep your sanity. You know the ones:
 👉 "I'm not experienced enough."
 👉 "I could never charge that much."
👉 "I have to be avail...

You know the one. That awkward moment when someone asks about the thing we’re not supposed to say anymore—yep, the “Big C.” 🙈

In this episode, Alyssa and I are diving into the spicy world of handling the value conversation like a pro. Because let’s be real, navigating this question isn’t about defending a number—it’s about showing up, knowing your worth, and keeping your cool without breaking into a full-blown TED Talk.

We’re breaki...

Still holding out for 3% interest rates before buying a home? We need to talk.

In this episode, we’re keeping it real about the market, mindset, and why waiting for the "perfect" rate might be keeping you from the right opportunity.

Let’s be honest: 3% interest was a unicorn moment — and while it made for some fun mortgage math, it’s not the only path to a smart, strategic home purchase.

We’re digging into:

• Why buying whe...

Y’ALL. It’s official—she did the dang thing.

In this episode, we are sitting down to  spill the behind-the-scenes of buying her very first short-term rental property!

From choosing the right property to juggling emotions, financing, and deciding if the roi really does work… she's sharing the highs, the chaos, and all the excitement in between.

Throwback episode.... Trigger Warning: Suicide 

Before we begin today’s episode, we want to issue a **trigger warning**. This episode will involve discussions about suicide, mental health struggles, and the emotional challenges that many in our community are facing. These topics can be very sensitive, and we recognize that they may bring up difficult feelings for some listeners. 

If you or someone you know is struggling wi...

Let’s talk about it—the glam, the gimmicks, and the good ol’ waste of money. In this episode, we're breaking down the things we personally think real estate agents should stop spending their hard-earned cash on. From overpriced branding fluff to leads colder than that iced coffee we live for, we’re pulling back the curtain on what’s actually worth it and what’s just shiny noise.

Whether you're a new agent trying to be stra...

Holding ourselves accountable TWICE this sprint with a little mid-way check in on our goals. Some things have changed, pivoted, been crossed out, and some spoken into the universe before we were ready! 

Quick, easy, and hopefully the real, raw reset you need to hear that the rest of us aren't perfect, either. 

Cheers to 6 more weeks!

Let’s be real—building a community (in real estate or life) isn’t always as simple as sliding into a perfectly curated group chat of like-minded people cheering you on. Sometimes, your people don’t come pre-assembled… sometimes, you’re the one pulling the chairs together.

In this episode, we’re talking about what it actually looks like to find a community, or create one from scratch—especially when you're the new face in town, ...

Let’s be honest—not all past clients are created equal. In this episode, we’re spilling the tea on how we rate our past clients to decide who gets a phone call, who gets a mailer, and who gets… well, referred out next time. 😅

We’re breaking down our simple but strategic system to help you stay organized and intentional with your client follow-up—because every 'sold' doesn't automatically equal 'soulmate client.&...

You’ve heard the phrase “time is money” — but in real estate? Time is everything. In this episode, we’re diving into Buy Back Your Time by Dan Martell and breaking down how this book hits home for us as realtors constantly juggling showings, contracts, family life, client calls, and that never-ending inbox.

We’re sharing the biggest takeaways that made us pause (and maybe panic a little), what we’ve already started implementing, and...

Let’s talk money, honey 💸—because not everything with a fancy landing page and a “limited-time offer” is actually worth your commission check. In this episode, we’re breaking down a few things we do think are worth investing in for your real estate business... and a few that are just overpriced distractions in a cute disguise. From apps and courses to branding, CRM systems, paid ads, and even the ever-tempting "coaching progr...
