In real estate, this time of year exposes something we don’t talk about: feeling stuck. As the year winds down and a new one begins, even experienced agents can feel like they’re spinning their wheels or like they just don’t know what to do. 

And the truth is, there’s nothing unusual about that. Every one of us hits moments where our motivation dips, our habits slip, or our thoughts get louder than our actions.

But feeling stuck doesn’t mean something is wrong. More often, it simply means we’ve gotten caught inside our own heads. 

What makes a difference isn’t feeling bad when we get stuck; it’s learning how to move through this quickly, and there are a few highly effective strategies you can try. 

In this episode, we unpack what actually causes that “stuck” feeling, why it shows up more frequently than most agents realize, and the practical ways to regain momentum. 

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

You’re only one action away from momentum 

Feeling stuck isn’t a sign to stop; it’s a sign to move. How does simply doing one small thing reset our entire trajectory? 

The observer mindset changes everything 

We get stuck when we believe the story in our head. What happens when we step outside ourselves and question the narrative instead of obeying it? 

Momentum creates clarity, not the other way around 

Most agents wait to “feel ready” before they act, but clarity comes after movement. What new possibilities open up once we just start? 

Numbers reveal your patterns before you get stuck 

Declines in contacts, appointments, or consistency don’t happen overnight. How does tracking our metrics help us catch a slump before we’re in one?

A lot of agents and teams feel like their business is “stable” because they’re getting a steady flow of leads from referral companies, portals, and third-party sites. 

And honestly, on the surface, it does feel safe: leads come in, you call them, you close a few deals, and life moves on.

But here’s the part most people don’t say out loud: if your entire pipeline depends on someone else sending you leads, you’re not actually in control of your business. 

Your income is tied to whatever those companies decide to do next. You’re giving up 30–40% of every check, and you’re trusting that the tap won’t suddenly get turned off, reassigned, or doubled in cost. That’s not stability, that’s dependency disguised as consistency.

And because it feels easier, a lot of agents lean even harder into buying leads. They think it’s the answer to a slow month or the “fix” for not having their own lead-gen system. 

But buying leads doesn’t solve the problem; it just keeps you stuck in the same cycle. The only real solution is learning how to create your own leads, so no company, no policy change, and no algorithm can decide how much business you’re going to have next month.

So how do you take control of your lead flow? 

In this episode, we break down how to move from being at the mercy of lead companies to building something you actually control. We get into the lead-gen channels that still work, the overlooked power of your database, and why the real goal isn’t just collecting contacts, it’s building an actual audience that pays attention to you. 

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

You can’t build a stable business on someone else’s lead flow

Your database isn’t enough; you need an audience

Traditional lead gen still works

Expireds, FSBOs, circle prospecting, open houses…they’re still gold mines. How differently do they perform when every contact automatically becomes part of a long-term nurture engine?

Consistency beats cost every time

Most of us think we’re struggling with follow-up because we aren’t consistent enough, or the leads just aren’t good enough. But in reality, the problem goes much deeper than missed calls and forgotten reminders. 

The real issue is that most agents fundamentally misunderstand how long it actually takes to convert a lead, and what those follow-up conversations are supposed to feel like. 

We expect one call to turn into an appointment and one appointment to turn into a deal. When that doesn’t happen, we assume the lead isn’t interested, or worse, that we’re “bothering them.” 

What makes follow-up fall apart isn’t laziness, it’s uncertainty. We jump off that first call, and when it’s time to reconnect, we genuinely have no idea what to say next. 

So we default to the fastest escape hatch: a cold text, a generic check-in, a “just touching base” message that signals the wrong thing, you’re following up for yourself, not to bring value to the lead. 

How do we shift our mindset around follow-up? How do we take the pressure and hesitation out of lead follow-up?

In this episode, we break down the patterns behind bad follow-up, the mindset shift that makes good follow-up easy, and the small adjustments that help you stay connected to your entire pipeline.

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

Follow-up takes more touches than most agents assume

Most clients need several conversations before anything moves forward. How do we plan for a longer decision cycle instead of expecting quick wins?

Why “just checking in” messages fall flat

How to pick up the conversation where it last ended

The role of warm and older leads in your pipeline

Every average agent wants to know what top producers are doing differently to get their results. They’re in the same market, dealing with the same obstacles, and working with the same number of hours, yet somehow, they keep pulling ahead.

Over the years, we’ve noticed clear patterns: top producers share the same habits, and struggling agents share the same mistakes. The contrast couldn’t be clearer. Top producers don’t rely on luck or talent; they rely on discipline.

Their edge isn’t in the big things; it’s in the small, repeatable actions that make up their daily routine.

But it’s not just about structure; it’s also about boundaries. There’s a rhythm to how top producers move through their day; a structure that keeps them focused while everyone else is reacting.

What do top producers do every single day? How are they so effective with their time management?

In this episode, we’re breaking down what a real top producer’s day looks like, the routines, time blocks, and mindset shifts that separate consistency from chaos.

Whether you’re a brand-new agent still waiting on your first commission check or a seasoned agent trying to jumpstart a slow season, the real question is the same: where do you find a deal? 

In real estate, there’s no shortage of strategies: calling expireds, launching Facebook ads, working your sphere, and hosting open houses, but not all strategies are created equal, especially when you’re just starting out. 

Some methods build momentum fast, others require more skill, time, or confidence than most new agents have on day one.

The goal isn’t just to get a transaction, it’s to get that first win that proves you belong in this business. 

What are some of the easiest ways to generate a deal in 60-90 days? What lead gen methods should new agents avoid until they have more experience? 

In this episode, we unpack the best ways to get early traction, from tapping into buyer leads and old contacts in your brokerage’s database to simple text scripts that turn conversations into contracts. 

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

Your sphere isn’t exhausted; it’s untapped

Old leads are hidden gold

Buyers build momentum faster than listings

Avoid the toughest game too early

When real estate agents struggle, the first thing they do is blame the market: the interest rates, the inventory, the leads. But the truth is, that’s not why agents are failing.

The truth is simpler and more uncomfortable. Most agents fail because they overcomplicate what actually works. They treat real estate like a hobby, showing up when they feel like it and wondering why their results are unpredictable. They think they are following up and nurturing leads, when all they are doing is notifying people. 

What does it take to win in a slow market? How do you align your habits with the success you want? 

In this episode, we break down the hard truths about why agents fail, and what separates those who last from those who leave. 

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

Overcomplication kills performance

Treat it like a business, not a hobby

Structure beats hustle

Conversations = closings

Every new agent has heard the old saying: “You have to list to last.” The industry myth is that the fastest way to big numbers is chasing listings. 

But here’s the truth: being a listing agent isn’t just about getting a few signs in the yard. It’s an entirely different business model. 

Buyer’s agents mostly service leads that come to them. Listing agents? They generate leads out of thin air. That’s why most people who say they want to be listing agents back off the second they realize what it takes: daily prospecting, mastering conversations, and building the confidence to win face-to-face at the kitchen table.

How do you actually become a dominant listing agent? Why do so many listing agents struggle with listings? 

In this episode, we break down the real difference between buyer and listing agents. We discuss why your presentation skills may matter even more than your prospecting.

For many new agents, the top producers in the office are intimidating. Their success feels out of reach; it’s something you’ll never accomplish yourself. But for some agents, those same people are motivating. They’re proof that it can be done, and they become the standard to chase. 

Emilee Mosso went from wanting to be like those agents to achieving success in her own right. And at 23, she’s done $10 million in volume, and this is just the beginning. 

How did Emilee turn her goals into a reality? How did she move past some of the places that keep agents stuck? 

It starts with showing up before you feel ready, asking for help instead of guessing, and treating every “no” as practice for the next “yes.”

In this episode of Level Up, the Century 21 Blackwell agent shares the mindset and approach behind her success. We also unpack how to learn from the right people, move through rejection without losing momentum, and develop the habits that make you a top producer.

In the beginning, you take the no’s personally. Now, when someone says no, I just think I’m closer to someone who will tell me yes. -Emilee Mosso

A lot of buyer’s agents think being “better” just means moving faster. Taking every late-night call, saying yes to every showing, and running themselves ragged across town. More homes, more showings, more hustle.

But hustle doesn’t equal conversion, it often equals burnout. The agents who actually win with buyers aren’t the ones sprinting around at all hours. They’re the ones who slow down, take control, and position themselves as trusted advisors.

The truth is, too many buyer’s agents play the role of door-opener. They think value comes from access, when in reality, buyers are craving authority. Without clear guidance, clients don’t feel safe. They get overwhelmed by endless options, stall out on decisions, and eventually ghost you.

Being a great buyer’s agent isn’t about being available 24/7. It’s about creating safety through authority, building trust by asking better questions, and making recommendations without being pushy. 

So how do you shift from being “just another agent” to the one buyers actually listen to? How do you guide clients without making them feel like subordinates?

In this episode of Level Up, we break down exactly what separates the buyer’s agents who burn out from the ones who close deals consistently, and how you can step into that second category.

Buyer’s agents want to be the respected advisor, but they tend to act like they’re just the door opener. -Greg Harrelson

Some agents think market data is just a bunch of MLS stats to throw into a listing presentation. Just absorption rates, days on market, and sales ratios that you check off like a box. 

But it’s actually one of the most powerful persuasion tools you have. Market data shifts the conversation from opinion to fact, from convincing to guiding. It builds your confidence, gives clients a clear picture they can’t argue with, and it helps you close more deals.

The truth s, too many agents hide behind generic terms like “the market is slow” or “inventory is high.” Those phrases don’t move clients; they confuse them. 

Without specifics, your advice sounds like just another opinion. And in a market where clients are bombarded with opinions from social media, friends, and Zillow alerts, opinions don’t close deals. Facts do.

How do we turn raw numbers into stories that help clients? How does that lead to more closings?

In this episode of Level Up, we show you how to use numbers to set expectations, have better conversations, overcome objections, and close more deals.
