What actually happens when 394 homes close in a single month? Somebody has to hold the whole thing together — and that somebody is managing broker Kassie Rinnet.

In Episode 16, Liz, Parker, and Nick sit down with Pemberton Real Estate's Managing Broker Karrie Rinnet pull back the curtain on a role most people don't fully understand. Kassie breaks down what a managing broker actually does (spoiler: it's everything), how she stays calm when agents call with sledgehammer-wielding ex-heirs and sewage-covered driveways, and why communication — not market conditions — is what kills most deals.

They also get into the Sitzer-Burnett settlement, the fragmented MLS landscape, Zillow's AI integration, and what it means to be a lighthouse in an industry drowning in national media noise.

If you're an agent, a broker, or just someone who thinks real estate is straightforward — this one's for you.
