  • MyREShow™ Midland, TX Plan to Fine You for What's INSIDE Your House, and a Viral Groundhog Video

    Today Sandi Lyn and Josh discuss a controversial ordinance in Midland, Texas that would impose extensive fines on every homeowner in the city for not adhering to new property maintenance standards. The proposed ordinance includes dozens of interior and exterior items, with potential fines of $500 per day per violation for everything from peeling paint and damaged window screens, bedroom or closet doors that don't shut properly, to even the seal on your refrigerator not closing securely. The hosts discuss whether the measure is an example of government overreach, question how it could be enforced realistically, and explore possible unintended consequences, including privacy concerns, property value impacts, and residents becoming hesitant to seek help from local authorities for fear of these infractions.

    The conversation expands into the possible bigger picture surrounding homeownership, property maintenance, and personal responsibility. Sandi raises the question of whether governments are stepping in to enforce standards that previous generations learned through family experience and homeownership traditions. Josh counters by drawing a distinction between issues that affect neighborhoods such as nuisance properties and purely interior conditions that have little impact on the property value of surrounding homes. Together, they examine the balance between protecting communities and preserving homeowners' rights, while questioning whether Midland's proposal addresses legitimate concerns or just creates new problems.

    The episode concludes with discussions about marketing, social media, and the upcoming True Crime in Real Estate podcast episode covering Tacoma's 1989 Ash Street Shootout. Sandi highlights the success of one agent's viral groundhog video as an example of how authentic, personal content often outperforms traditional real estate marketing. Both hosts encourage agents to embrace video, document their growth both with social media presence in general, and as a competent agent in the industry. They share the realities of building a business rather than pretending to be experts from day one, and emphasize authenticity, consistency, and showing behind the business are what ultimately build trust and attract future clients.

  • MyREShow™ FL and TX Property Tax, True Crime Preview, and Thriller Reel

    In this episode of My Real Estate Show, Sandi Lyn and Producer Brian cover a mix of real estate, public policy, and personal stories. The discussion opens with memories from their time serving together in the Marine Corps and reflects on the lifelong bonds created through military service. They then move into a conversation about property taxes, comparing policies in states like Florida, Texas, Illinois, and Iowa. The hosts debate the merits of property taxes, income taxes, and sales taxes, ultimately arguing that governments should simplify taxation and be held accountable for how tax dollars are spent.

    The episode also delivers practical advice for real estate agents. Sandi Lyn explains how she built credibility early in her career by helping homeowners challenge property tax assessments through comparative market analyses (CMAs). She uses the topic to teach a fundamental real estate concept: the difference between assessed value, appraised value, and market value. She emphasizes that many consumers misunderstand these distinctions and that educating clients is one of the easiest ways for new agents to demonstrate expertise and build trust without hounding them to buy or sell a house.

    The final segment shifts to marketing, true crime, and fair housing issues. After discussing a viral Michael Jackson Thriller dance video and the value of creating engaging content, the hosts preview an upcoming True Crime in Real Estate episode about the 1989 Ash Street Shootout, where an Army Ranger and fellow veterans exchanged gunfire with gang members after police failed to address neighborhood crime. That story leads into a broader discussion about crime statistics, fair housing regulations, and how estate agents are now allowed to share objective neighborhood data with buyers. The episode closes with thoughts on criminal records, rehabilitation, and balancing consumer protection with equal housing access.

  • MyREShow™ Content Advice, Personal Discipline, and the Mushroom House

    In this episode of My Real Estate Show, Sandi Lyn shares practical lessons from her own real estate career, emphasizing that long-term success comes from providing value rather than chasing immediate transactions. She recounts how a veteran she helped during a small crisis reached back out more than a year later when he was finally ready to buy a home. The story serves as a reminder that relationships, networking, and patience often produce better results than focusing solely on short-term commissions. She also discusses how becoming known within veteran communities naturally led to referrals and helped establish her niche in the industry.

    The conversation then shifts into branding and marketing for agents. Sandi argues that agents should not be afraid to niche down, whether that niche is veterans, first-time homebuyers, dog owners, or another community they genuinely understand. She explains that expertise in a niche doesn't prevent serving other clients; instead, it creates trust and makes an agent memorable. She also advocates for the “document, don’t create” philosophy, encouraging agents to stop waiting for perfect content and instead share authentic experiences, thoughts, and daily activities. According to Sandi, consistency and visibility matter far more than perfection, and the most successful content creators are often the ones who simply keep showing up.

    The final portion covers personal development, industry observations, and a humorous review of a bizarre Minnesota “Mushroom House.” Sandi discusses rebuilding her workout habits after becoming busy with brokerage ownership, emphasizing that confidence comes from keeping promises to yourself and building small, repeatable wins. Then we examine an unusual foam-built home, debating everything from its floor plan and maintenance concerns to its appeal as a highly polarizing property. They conclude that unusual homes, much like strong personal brands, don't need to appeal to everyone, but sometimes, maybe just the right audience.

  • MyREShow™ Selling Sunset, Gold, Whiskey

    This episode is a lighter, conversational installment of My Real Estate Show that mixes industry discussion with personal stories and social media marketing advice. Host Sandi Lyn opens with updates about the show, plugs the True Crime in Real Estate podcast, and chats with producer Brian about military service, reunions, and meeting co-host Josh in person soon. The discussion then shifts to inflation, comparing the value of gold over the past several decades and exploring how rising asset values relate to housing prices and long-term wealth building.

    The pair also touch on Netflix's Selling Sunset, discussing returning cast members, reality TV's influence on real estate, and the public personas of agents and brokerage owners. Sandi shares her views on authenticity in the industry, arguing that people connect with real personalities rather than constant sales pitches. She emphasizes that successful agents build trust by showing who they are outside of real estate, whether through hobbies, interests, family, or other aspects of everyday life.

    The second half of the episode centers on Whiskey, Sandi's highly intelligent and often chaotic dog. Through stories about muddy walks, showers, social media fame, and encounters with fans who recognize Whiskey in public, the conversation becomes a case study in personal branding. Sandi explains that content featuring Whiskey consistently generates the most engagement because it humanizes her and helps people feel connected to her. She encourages agents to stop overcomplicating social media, share genuine parts of their lives, and create content that reflects their personality. The episode concludes with practical advice on relationship-building, audience engagement, and how authenticity can be more effective than posting real estate content alone.

  • MyREShow™ Real Estate Agent 2026 Burnout Speedrun

    This episode features Josh and Sandi Lyn reacting to a reel about what it takes to be a successful real estate agent. While it listed dozens of activities, both hosts emphasized agents should avoid trying to do everything at once. Instead, they argued that success comes from choosing a few core lead-generation “pillars” and executing them consistently. They discussed the impact of handwritten letters, open houses, social media posting, client events, and follow-up systems, stressing that authentic communication and meaningful conversations are far more valuable than chasing metrics.

    A major theme was using technology wisely. The hosts encouraged agents to embrace AI but cautioned against relying on it to replace personal relationships or expertise. They recommended using tools like AI assistants on automating repetitive tasks and organizing information to save time, while reserving high-level decision-making, client communication, and real estate guidance for the agent. They also warned against spending heavily on mailers, Google Ads, CRMs, or expensive IDX/MLS feeds before building a sustainable business foundation. Their advice repeatedly returned to focusing on income-producing activities rather than getting distracted by logos, certifications, or complicated systems.

    The discussion also covered practical lead-generation strategies. Both hosts praised open houses as one of the best places for new agents to gain experience, meet prospects, and create content. They emphasized reaching out to past clients regularly, asking for reviews at the right time, and building a CRM habit without overcomplicating the process. Sandi says social media should prioritize quality over quantity, while Josh noted that agents often compare themselves to others rather than focusing on their own audience. They also advised agents to avoid trying to break into luxury real estate too early, noting the higher costs, expectations, and expertise required.

    Toward the end, Sandi shared humorous stories about early mistakes she made as an agent, including losing clients by making a poorly timed joke during a client interaction, to highlight the importance of professionalism, communication, and learning from failures. They concluded that the reel's list of tasks wasn't entirely wrong, but trying to master all of them simultaneously would overwhelm most agents. Their final takeaway was simple: pick a few core activities, stay consistent, and create content without obsessing over perfection.

  • MyREShow™ Pratt, Pratt, Pratt, Voting, and Critiquing AI Reels

    This episode shifts quickly, discussing politics, marketing, real estate coaching, and social media content. The conversation begins with reactions to a clip involving Spencer Pratt's Los Angeles mayoral campaign, where the hosts praise his ability to avoid partisan labels and focus instead on local issues such as homelessness, cleanliness, and city management. This leads into a broader discussion about voting habits, judicial elections, term limits, political accountability, and growing frustration with party-line politics.

    Sandi Lyn and Josh then examine several political campaign marketing examples, including Spencer Pratt's viral sidewalk-cleaning campaign that used pressure washing to create campaign messages on dirty sidewalks. They view it as a clever way to highlight city maintenance issues while generating attention. The discussion expands into campaign styles, with comparisons between confrontational campaigning and examples of candidates running more civil, unity-focused campaigns. The group reflects on how political messaging has shifted over the years and whether voters are becoming more focused on practical issues than partisan divisions.

    The second half of the episode pivots to marketing and advertising in real estate. The hosts critique an AI-generated real estate advertisement that uses Donald Trump's likeness and excessive promotional language, arguing that it feels cluttered, potentially misleading, and difficult to understand. They discuss how marketing created by AI often relies on attention-grabbing visuals and an easily identifiable “AI generated” style, while also debating whether those tactics are actually effective. The conversation broadens into a discussion about AI-generated content, branding, and the challenges of creating authentic marketing materials in an era increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence.

    The episode concludes with criticism of generic real estate coaching and lead-generation claims, including ads promising mastery of paid advertising in just a few days. Josh argues that effective advertising skills require years of experience and significant testing, while Sandi emphasizes that most agents already know the fundamentals they should be executing. The hosts also discuss the growing real estate coaching industry, questioning its scalability and value. The show ends on a lighter note with Producer Brian sharing a Marine Corps training story involving C4, before we preview a future episode topic about expectations placed on real estate agents in 2026.

  • MyREShow™ Emily Nguyen, 23-Year-Old Super Real Estate Agent

    This episode features agent Emily Nguyen, the first guest from Sandi Lyn own brokerage. The conversation focuses on Emily’s journey into real estate, beginning as a teenager on a team where she completed 12–15 transactions in her first year but realized she had not been taught many core skills needed to operate independently. Emily discusses her decision to leave her team, transition to a solo business, and how connecting with Sandi and broker Holly helped her gain confidence, develop her knowledge, and build a sustainable career. The discussion highlights the importance of mentorship, learning the fundamentals of the business, and surrounding yourself with people who genuinely invest in your growth.

    A major theme of the episode is the role of social media and personal branding in real estate. Emily explains how leaving her team gave her the freedom to market herself authentically, including creating bilingual English and Vietnamese content that allowed her to serve a broader audience. She credits consistent social media posting, networking, and strong mentorship as key drivers of her success. The conversation also explores industry gossip, reputation management, and the importance of taking a long-term view of relationships in real estate rather than reacting emotionally to short-term conflicts.

    The final portion of the show examines brokerage culture and recruiting practices. Sandi and Emily discuss their experiences with various brokerages, including team structures, agent support, retention, and industry culture. Sandi shares stories from her early days in real estate, including her brief time at Keller Williams, while both hosts criticize brokerage models that emphasize recruiting over supporting existing agents. The episode concludes with a discussion of Vietnamese real estate practices, differences in licensing and property sales compared to the United States, and Emily’s reflections on serving Vietnamese-speaking homebuyers while building her own team and business.

  • MyREShow™ Young Spencer Pratt, Reality TV Real Estate News, and Josh Update

    At the start of the episode, Sandi Lyn and Josh cover a mix of entertainment, and reality tv real estate adjacent news, beginning with a discussion about Spencer Pratt and his long-term strategy for staying relevant in media. They analyze an old David Letterman segment about how Pratt used controversy and social intelligence to command attention on reality TV, particularly on The Hills. The conversation then shifts into celebrity real estate headlines, including reports about Catherine, Princess of Wales and Prince William seeking a new home after her cancer recovery, along with commentary on Bethenny Frankel and her financially savvy approach to real estate investing. They also revisit the “Scandoval” drama involving Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix, discussing how their breakup and shared property became a public spectacle that reshaped both of their careers.

    In the industry news portion, the hosts discuss a second MLS choosing to cut off its Zillow feed after another MLS previously received a temporary restraining order in court. They speculate on how the legal and political dynamics could affect future listing syndication battles. They also break down the decision by Spyglass Realty to leave Real Brokerage after just one year in its private-label program. Sandi Lyn explains that the brokerage retained its agents and branding while cutting nearly $10,000 per month in expenses by building its own AI-driven technology stack. Josh notes that losing nearly 200 agents at once is a major blow for a brokerage operating in a growth and acquisition-focused environment.

    The second half of the episode becomes deeply personal as Josh discusses his recent cancer diagnosis and how it has affected both his life and career. Josh explains the challenges self-employed agents face with health insurance, treatment schedules, and deciding whether to disclose personal health struggles publicly. Josh shares that he chose transparency, partly to raise awareness about increasing cancer diagnoses among younger adults and partly because he wanted to continue helping others through his platform. He reflects on the emotional difficulty of filming the show’s very first episode just days after receiving the diagnosis, especially during an interview with a cancer survivor, which left him visibly overwhelmed. Josh discusses how maintaining routines, leaning on support from his wife and clients, and creating honest social media content helped him regain focus and even grow his business. The episode closes with both hosts encouraging viewers to prioritize medical screenings, advocate for their health, and remember that supporting a real estate agent during difficult times is never a burden.

  • MyREShow™ Agent Safety and Dating Advice

    This episode focused less on breaking industry news and more on real-world lessons about agent safety, manipulation tactics, and communication in both business and personal relationships. Sandi Lyn introduced co-host Josh Ries and producer Brian, explaining that Josh’s background in Portland-area law enforcement inspired a detailed discussion on how predators manipulate trust. Drawing from the book The Gift of Fear, Josh explained that violence is often predictable when people learn to recognize warning signs and behavioral red flags before situations escalate.

    The bulk of the episode explored common manipulation tactics that criminals, toxic partners, and even unethical salespeople use to gain trust. Josh broke down concepts like “forced teaming,” where someone exaggerates shared interests to create false closeness, and “charm and niceness,” where over-the-top compliments or friendliness are used to lower defenses. Sandi related many of these tactics to dating experiences, explaining how manipulative people often recycle the same lines, overcompensate with excessive details, or use self-deprecating comments to force emotional reassurance from others. The discussion also covered “loan sharking,” unsolicited gifts or favors meant to create obligation, along with people who refuse to accept the word “no,” which Josh described as one of the clearest danger signs for both clients and personal relationships.

    We concluded with practical advice for real estate agents and anyone navigating relationships or conducting negotiations. Josh emphasized that most people are not dangerous, but agents should still trust their instincts and pay attention when multiple red flags appear together. Both hosts recommended learning negotiation and communication skills through books like Never Split the Difference and stressed the importance of setting boundaries, recognizing manipulation, and conducting business in ways that make all parties feel respected rather than pressured. Sandi closed by reminding listeners that the show’s goal is to help agents feel less isolated in their careers while also giving them practical tools for safety and success.

  • MyREShow™ True Crime Recap and New Agent Discipline

    In this episode of My Real Estate Show™, hosts Sandi Lyn Burnett and Josh Ries discuss the realities of building a career in real estate, the pressure of producing consistent content, and the emotional and physical toll of covering difficult stories on their companion podcast, True Crime in Real Estate. Sandi Lyn explains the extensive fact-checking and legal caution that went into the production, while Ries praises the episode for tackling uncomfortable industry issues that many agents avoid discussing.

    The conversation then shifts into the discipline required to succeed in real estate. Sandi Lyn and Josh argue that many new agents enter the business expecting freedom and flexibility, only to discover that success requires constant hustle, uncomfortable schedules, and long-term consistency. Josh explains that new agents often fail because they underestimate the low conversion rates and give up too early after only a few unsuccessful attempts. Sandi Lyn compares success in real estate to elite athletes and fitness routines, emphasizing that momentum compounds over time and that agents must keep working even when results are not immediate. Both hosts stress that top-performing agents build disciplined daily habits, maintain strong communication skills, and continuously practice relationship-building.

    Finally, the hosts discuss changing trends within the real estate industry, including the growing importance of buyer-agent expertise beyond simply opening doors to listings. They reference ongoing litigation involving Zillow, National Association of Realtors policies, and MLS data disputes, while arguing that consumers now value negotiation skills, transaction management, and legal guidance more than listing access itself. Sandi Lyn concludes by encouraging struggling agents to remain persistent, improve their communication and discipline, and understand that long-term success in real estate comes from consistency, resilience, and providing real value to clients.
