Punch Your Agent

This week Daniel and Mike sit down with their best friend Charlie Carlisle, drummer for the Houston band FacePlant, band booking agent, and rental property owner.

Charlie takes us on the road, traveling the world playing concerts with his bands, then breaks down life as a booking agent and why negotiating a club deal is a lot like negotiating a real estate deal. Knowing what you're doing makes all the difference.

Then it gets wild. Charlie tells the story of the tenant who offered him sex instead of rent, walks us through dealing with evictions, and gets real about being a self-employed drummer and all the side hustles it takes to make it work.

And the big one: the FacePlant reunion. Charlie's 50th birthday party on November 7 is probably the last time FacePlant will ever play together. Don't miss it.

Real Talk. Real Estate. No BS.

In this episode:

- Touring the world with a band

- Booking agent vs. real estate agent: how negotiations compare

- The tenant who offered sex for rent

- Evictions as a landlord

- Self-employed drummer life and side hustles

- The FacePlant reunion and Charlie's 50th on November 7th!

Lake life sounds like a dream, but buying or selling lake property comes with its own set of surprises. On Episode 43 of Punch Your Agent, we sit down with Angelina Adams, a Realtor who works the Lake Livingston area, to talk about what it's really like selling property around the lake.

Angelina shares what it's like walking land and showing homes off dirt roads, including some seriously broken-down houses along the way. We also get into how buying down your interest rate can lower your monthly payment, and why right now could be a smart time to buy while a lot of sellers need to sell.

Whether you're dreaming about a weekend lake house or thinking about selling one, this episode is for you.
