Summary

Episode 88: Listener Q&A — Real Estate Tips, Lessons, and Laughs

This is Part 2 of our listener Q&A series, and it's packed with honest answers, real-life stories, and a few laughs along the way. From what we wish we knew as new realtors to setting boundaries, marketing strategies, teams, leads, and navigating awkward client situations, nothing is off the table.

We answer questions agents are really asking—without sugarcoating or hustle culture nonsense.

In this episode, we cover:
- Creative (and hilarious) ways to get signs in the ground
- What we wish we knew as new realtors
- Why boundaries matter early in your career
- Respecting other agents' time and professionalism
- Whether you need to "network" everywhere you go
- How to build a sphere when you're new or in a new city
- Growing your database during COVID and beyond
- Postcard farming: what works and what doesn't
- Helping friends who list with other agents (and why you shouldn't)
- How to set communication expectations with clients
- Solo vs team real estate careers
- When (and if) you need an assistant
- Whether brokers should provide leads to top agents
- Why we don't love "lead generation"
- Talking to new leads without feeling salesy
- Handwritten notes and referral scripts that feel genuine
- Protecting your energy and building a business that fits your life

1:12.4	And we're just going to jump right back into the questions. I'm going to start you with a little
1:17.1	question that I hope you didn't read yet. Okay. This comes, we're not going to, we haven't shared
