Want real estate lead generation without cold calling? In this Real Estate Riches episode, host Kathy Byrnes sits down with Florida top producer Brittany Ranew (Premier Sotheby's International Realty) to reveal how Ninja Selling and hyper-local video attract high-paying relocation real estate leads 24/7.

Tired of dialing cold leads, door knocking, or burning out on social media trends? Brittany shares how she relocated to St. Petersburg and Tampa Bay with zero connections and scaled a multi-million-dollar referral pipeline by replacing outbound cold prospecting with authentic community video tours and systematic client care.

About Kathy Byrnes:Kathy Byrnes hosts Real Estate Riches Podcast because the best real estate success stories come from agents willing to build relational systems instead of chasing cold leads. As a Certified Global Marketing Agent with eXp Realty and author of From Rookie to Rockstar, Kathy mentors agents worldwide while specializing in luxury waterfront properties across Lake Norman, North Carolina.

🎙 In this episode, you'll learn:

✔️ Why cold calling in real estate is obsolete when you master relationship-first Ninja Selling

✔️ How to attract out-of-state relocation real estate leads with evergreen hyper-local YouTube videos

✔️ Real estate lead generation systems that turn client appreciation into consistent referrals

✔️ Overcoming camera fear & imposter syndrome: why authentic flubs outperform high-end production

✔️ Time blocking rituals that protect daily client relationships and prevent agent burnout

✔️ How Kathy built a custom "Board of Directors GPT" to streamline marketing and newsletters

Q: How can real estate agents generate leads without cold calling or door knocking?

Jason Ostrowsky got his real estate license in 2007. The market fell apart the following year.

He stayed in anyway, and twenty years later he is Team Leader of his own luxury team outside Philadelphia. What kept him alive early was an exclusive on a new construction project he sat three or four days a week, back when one in every four sales at his company was a short sale. What keeps him relevant now is different. He says the single thing agents should be working on is getting found in AI search, which means making every bio you own say the same thing and getting onto sites like HomeLight and FastExpert so there is something for AI to find.

Real Estate Riches Podcast is a real estate coaching podcast for agents at every stage. Kathy Byrnes hosts it because the best success stories come from agents who keep learning after the market has already tried to run them off. An eXp Realty mentor and Certified Global Marketing Agent, she arrived in North Carolina from Michigan in 2005 dead broke, got licensed in 2006, and spent a stretch riding in her buyers' cars because she had no gas money for her own. She is 76. She was 56 when she started.

What You'll Learn:

Lindsey Sandoval spent years buying leads from Zillow, REDX, Mojo and Vulcan 7. Now she spends ten dollars a day and the money never touches a coach.

Real Estate Riches Podcast is a real estate coaching podcast for agents at every stage. Kathy Byrnes hosts it because the best success stories come from agents willing to build systems instead of waiting for one. A Certified Global Marketing Agent and author of From Rookie to Rockstar, Kathy is on her fifth company and says she is not leaving eXp. Her first revshare check was $48. She saw Jay Kinder present this model from a stage in Canada at an AI event run by Carrie Soave, and brought it back to agents in her own organization.

Lindsey came on for a second visit to walk through what it looks like from the seat. Her campaign runs on her own Meta account, built around her own market data rather than a template, and it produced leads inside her first month. One of them arrived from Connecticut, where she could not list the property and had to find an agent inside the eXp referral network who could. She also holds a loan officer license, so on some files she is handling the mortgage and the sale at the same time.

Hosted by: Kathy Byrnes

Guest: Lindsey Sandoval

Lindsey Sandoval is a Realtor with eXp Realty and a licensed loan officer, based in Conover, North Carolina and working the Catawba Valley market. She started in commercial real estate in Northern California more than a decade ago with CBRE and Cushman & Wakefield before relocating to the Carolinas. She holds real estate licenses in California, North Carolina and South Carolina, and splits her time between residential clients, commercial work, and supporting other agents building their own pipelines.

What You'll Learn:

• Owning the ad account so the campaign stays yours no matter where you go

• Building one campaign off your own market data instead of a template someone sold you

• Getting paid on a lead you are not licensed to close

• Handling the loan and the sale for the same client

• Letting automation carry follow-up through the weeks your calls slip

• Earning on other agents' production without managing a team

• Reading a $48 check as the start of something rather than a rounding error

• Building a retirement that does not involve finding someone to fix a toilet

Kathy Byrnes hosts it because the best success stories come from agents building something the market cannot copy. An eXp Realty mentor and Certified Global Marketing Agent, she has fourteen agents in Portugal in her own organization and heads over there to work with them.

Tammy DeWolfe has been selling real estate for more than twenty years, working the Metro-West suburbs outside Boston for Gibson Sotheby's International Realty after growing up on a farm in Iowa and spending years in retail. She started filming with American Dream TV about a year and a half ago, turned down her own show the first time it was offered, then said yes the second. Her opening segment was shot in Italy at a villa she never sold, and someone who watched the episode booked a week there.

More than twenty years into the business, she also hosts a half hour television show under the DeWolfe Living name, which she programs across five segments and which airs locally on broadcast television and on streaming platforms.

What You'll Learn:

• Getting your own show instead of settling for a five minute slot in someone else's

• Letting mortgage brokers and attorneys fund the marketing you actually want to make

• Filling a room with people who never bought a house from you

• Turning the businesses you spotlight into referrals that come back

• Handing international referrals to agents who know the local rules

• Building a luxury experience that has nothing to do with the price point

A six-person team pulls 99% of its leads from social media, and almost none of it mentions real estate.

Most agents hand a chunk of every commission to a stranger just to meet a buyer. Jay Kinder flips that math completely.

Kathy's already living proof it works: she's using his lead program in her own business and says flat out, "people in my whole organization are loving it."

Kathy Byrnes built Real Estate Riches Podcast around real estate agent mentorship, pairing her own path as a Certified Global Marketing Agent and eXp Realty mentor with conversations that push agents past guesswork. Jay Kinder fits that mold from the other direction: he ranked number two worldwide at Coldwell Banker, built a national coaching company with Michael Reese, and eventually built a lead program at eXp that charges agents nothing because he only gets paid through revenue share when they do.

Hosted by: Kathy Byrnes

Guest: Jay Kinder

Jay Kinder started in real estate at 19 and became the number two agent worldwide for Coldwell Banker. He spent a decade climbing what he now calls the wrong ladder before deciding, in his own words, "there's gotta be a better way," and building exactly that at eXp Realty.

What You'll Learn

• Flipping the math on lead costs so a $300 spend produces roughly 100 leads

• Getting help with lead generation without paying anyone a dime upfront

• Escaping the wait-for-a-referral approach most agents never outgrow

• Building compounding income instead of chasing one deal at a time

• Coming back from a real financial setback with a completely different plan

• Learning what actually separates a coachable agent from a stuck one

• Extending real estate agent mentorship into new markets, even new countries

• Understanding why an agent-centric compensation model changes everything

Most real estate agents already use AI. Almost none of them are seeing a return from it. Carrie Soave explains the gap and how to close it.

Kathy Byrnes hosts Real Estate Riches Podcast, the real estate coaching podcast built around real estate agent mentorship, because the best success stories come from agents willing to rebuild before the market forces them to. Carrie Soave built her own multi-six-figure-a-month company running mostly on AI agents instead of a traditional staff, and she's still, by her own admission, "psychotic about updating" her coaching program every six months so it never goes stale.

This conversation covers what actually works in AI today, why intent engineering has replaced prompt engineering, and the system Carrie uses to plan a full week of content without touching a keyboard. She also gives a first look at Project 42, her new AI conference for agents happening in Niagara Falls this August.

Hosted by: Kathy Byrnes

Guest: Carrie Soave

Carrie Soave spent over 14 years as a top Ontario agent before founding The AI Solution, a coaching program for real estate professionals. She is now a global AI coach and top team leader at eXp Realty.

What You'll Learn

• Seeing why most agents using AI still aren't actually profiting from it

• Swapping prompt engineering for intent engineering, the shift Carrie says changes everything

• Building AI infrastructure that isn't locked into one app or one model

• Watching one AI agent plan and draft an entire week of content by itself

• Knowing when to stop building AI solo and when to actually pay for help

• Getting a first look at Project 42, Carrie's new AI event for agents this August

• Hearing real client outcomes from Carrie's program, from a tripled return in two weeks to 24 deals in three months

Guest Bio

Carrie Soave is a top-producing real estate veteran with over 14 years of experience ranking among Ontario's top agents. Transitioning into technology, she became an international speaker, trainer, and founder of The AI Solution to help agents automate their marketing and scale.
