This week on Real Life in Real Estate, Mark Peebles sits down with one of the most respected voices in the industry — Matthew Rathbun. Known for his decades of experience, real-world wisdom, and heart for helping agents grow, Matthew brings clarity, honesty, and encouragement exactly when agents need it most.

Here's what they dive into:

🔥 AI in Real Estate — The Truth Agents Need Matthew breaks down how AI isn't here to replace agents, but to empower them. Used the right way, it helps you show up better, stay organized, and serve people at a higher level.

🔥 What New Agents Really Need to Hear If you're young or just starting out, Matthew reminds you not to listen to the negativity. Build relationships intentionally — online and in person — and confidence will follow.

🔥 First-Time Buyers & Today's Market Challenges Mark and Matthew talk about affordability, rising buyer ages, and why today's clients need guidance, not pressure. Agents who lead with education will win.

🔥 Success That Actually Matters Matthew shares why real success isn't about production trophies — it's about the people you love, the relationships you build, and the legacy you leave behind.

If you're an agent looking for clarity, confidence, and a fresh perspective on this changing market, this episode is a must-listen.
