On this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and industry peer, Tim Garrity—a Philly real estate leader known for relentless consistency, content-driven marketing, and building a business that serves both his clients and his life. We dig into the habits that actually move the needle (hello, 5 AM start times and “eat the frog”), why consistency beats intensity, how to win in a tough market, and the mindset shift every agent needs to make before Q1.

Key Takeaways

• Consistency is the advantage. 15 years of a monthly email—missed maybe two. The pros don’t stop just because results are delayed.
• Do the hard thing first. “Eat the frog” mornings: knock out the highest-impact work before lunch or it probably won’t happen.
• Content compounds. Newsletters, podcasts, YouTube, blogs—value out = opportunities in. Tim runs mornings like a content studio.
• Efficiency creates freedom. Home gym, home office, tight routines—minutes saved become hours invested in family and focused work.
• Tough market? Double down. Talk to more people. Follow up more. Use downtime to analyze, cut waste, and plan your next moves.
• Mindset > everything. It’s personal development in disguise. Who do you need to become to have what you want?
• Integrity never goes out of style. Do the right thing when nobody’s watching—clients feel it, results reflect it.
• End-of-year push matters. While others coast from Halloween to holidays, add gas. Fill the pipeline and jump-start Q1.

Episode Highlights

• Daily rhythm: 5 AM start, home workout, school drop-off, content blocks 8AM–noon
• Why 20 real conversations a day still wins—and how long it actually takes
• “Tiny hinges swing big doors”: coffee, commute, and micro-saves that add up
• How to plan now if next year is slower: cut dead spend, play to your strengths, get accountability
• Content as a magnet: show up with real value, not noise—then let the flywheel spin
• Market reality check: prices high, costs high, buyers stretched—be the adult in the room with data and strategy
• Year-end directive: blinders on—content, calls, texts, emails—stack the deck for Q4 closings and a strong Q1
