Are you a new agent thinking, “Why didn’t anyone warn me about this?”

Or a homebuyer wondering if realtors really have it all figured out?

If so… you need to watch this.

This episode of the Moving Sucks Podcast pulls back the curtain on the real, unfiltered experiences of working in real estate—from the messy missteps to the surprising wins no one talks about. Your hosts share the hard-earned lessons that don't make it into sales seminars or shiny Instagram reels.

👉 From the reality of solo scaling as an independent contractor…

👉 To the truth about real estate attire vs. what social media sells you...

👉 And the big myth-busting moment: Do you really need 20% down? (Spoiler: Nope.)

We’re getting into what no one tells you until it’s too late.

🧠 What You’ll Learn:

The mindset shift from salesperson to consultant

Why assumptions can kill deals (and relationships)

The hilarious—and frustrating—realities behind the scenes (Lockbox struggles, anyone?)

How misinformation spreads fast in this industry—and how to stop it

What it actually takes to scale when you're working solo

And... the clothing debate: Can you crush a listing appointment in sneakers?
