Welcome to Real Estate Coaching Radio, America's number one trusted resource for realtors who demand authentic real-time coaching.

Starring, award-winning real estate coaches Tim and Julie Harris.

Get ready for unfiltered, full-strength honesty about what is truly working

to get you into action and make you money in this new real estate boom.

Now to our hosts, Tim and Julie Harris. We're joined once again

by Jonathan Smoke, the chief economist for Realtor.com, to discuss current trends in today's

real estate marketplace as we enter into the spring 2016 selling season. Smoke is a 20-year veteran of the real

estate industry and a regular guest on Real Estate Coaching Radio who has established himself

in the real estate industry as a highly respected economist and strategic thinker. Now let's welcome

Jonathan to the call as we join our host, Tim Harris.

So, Mr. Smoke, thank you and welcome back, and I know you're extremely busy.

And one of the reasons that, in addition to all the normal reasons that we have you on the show,

but one of the reasons specifically I wanted to have you back,

is because we are seeing an increase in agents who are becoming, I think, maybe a little

bit overly cautious about the economy. A lot of agents asking us about interest rates, asking

us about if we're going to another recession, and all this. And so, you know, I assume that

because we have 100,000 normal listeners, there's probably tens of thousands of agents that are

listening that are also kind of working through the same fears.

So if you and I can deep dive in clearing the air about the fact that this is a really wonderful

and credible opportunity to be selling real estate, and we are really one of the best times

ever to be in the real estate industry, I think we'll call this a successful show.

Agreed?
