If you’re getting ready to sell a home, this episode is for you! Today we’re going all in on staging tips for sellers—from what to clean to what to add (and what to hide!). Join us as we break down the most effective ways to prepare your home for the market, help buyers imagine themselves living there, and ultimately, get the best possible sale. Whether it’s clearing clutter, freshening up with neutral colors, or staging each room with intention, these strategies can mean the difference between “For Sale” and “Sold!”
Some of the tips we cover:
The checklist of “must-dos” for any seller to make a great first impression
Why your online listing photos matter and how to prep for them
Levels of staging: occupied vs. vacant homes and what to consider for each
Budgeting for staging and the impact of making simple updates
How to manage smells, lighting, and even music during showings
Specific tricks to make kitchens, bathrooms, and closets feel open and fresh
Outdoor must-haves: making sure the landscaping enhances the home, not detracts
When to invest in upgrades like carpet replacement or fresh paint
Don’t let your home go on the market without this advice! It’s all about setting the right mood and creating a space that invites buyers to see their future home.

With the holidays right around the corner, it's the perfect time to revisit the ever-challenging topic of boundaries—especially when your schedule feels maxed out. In this episode, we dive deep into finding the balance between capacity and demand as business heats up and life gets even busier. We share one listener’s personal struggle with managing her calendar, especially when new clients throw off her well-laid plans (we’ve all been there, right?).
We’ll explore the concept of capacity vs. demand, a lesson borrowed from physical therapy that translates perfectly to real estate. Your capacity is how much you can handle before hitting burnout, while demand covers everything from client needs to family responsibilities. The key takeaway? If you want to handle a busier season without losing your sanity, you've got to increase your capacity—whether that’s by adding systems, streamlining processes, or getting help.
Plus, hear how Alissa found her own capacity sweet spot and tips for differentiating between real demands and the ones we create in our minds. Get ready to set some boundaries and approach this holiday season with more clarity and calm!
Tune in, take a breath, and let’s tackle this together! 💪

It’s time to get spooky with another group of listener-shared haunted house stories! DISCLAIMER: If you are triggered by death, crime, paranormal activity and general creepy stuff, then this is not the episode for you. We meant no disrespect to the deceased referenced in the show. With that being said we tell some seriously wild listener submitted stories and we have quite a few laughs. We had a hard time getting through some of these due to general icks and a few cases of the uncontrollable giggles. We learned a lot about our listeners including they are incredibly brave, sometimes to a fault, and are excellent writers. In honor of their writing prowess and the O.G. scary story teller, Edgar Allen Poe, we are bringing back our favorite game: “name that short story”. If Halloween week brings out your love for all things spooky then this episode is for you!

We are pulling from our personal flood experience to share with others that are dealing with disasters now. Jay and Katy sit down to get the word out to anyone suffering through the unimaginable aftermath of a natural disaster. In this bonus episode of Hustle Humbly, Katy turns the microphone on our podcast producer, Jay, to pick his contractor brain. In 2016 our area experienced devastating floods that resulted in 110,000 homes being damaged. At the time, Jay was a licensed contractor with a remodeling business. He quickly became inundated with customers needing help to renovate their flooded homes. Based on that experience, Jay is sharing the tips you need for dealing with clean-up, avoiding being taken advantage of by contractors, getting a fair insurance settlement and rebuilding your home. Please email any additional questions to [email protected]. We are happy to help in any way we can!

Are you ready for a mindset check as we learn to embrace change in the real estate industry? Are you tired of the "Negative Nancy" narrative? It's time to embrace change and ditch the what-ifs and complaining. In this episode, we're leaving behind the feeling of resistance and talking about the importance of focusing on our businesses, building systems, and staying confident amidst industry shifts. We'll tackle toxic positivity, share stories from the trenches, and remind you why clients choose YOU. We share how hundreds of our listeners responded to our survey asking how they are feeling and what this change looks like for them. Have buyers refused to sign buyer rep’s? Did the brokers do a good job of training and prep? Are agents looking for loopholes to go around new rules? We are answering all of these questions with help from you!
