Can you achieve MORE by doing LESS in the 2026 real estate market?
In Episode 115 of The Closing Table with Lawyers Title, host Tamera Gaede sits down with Tony Caliendo, co-founder of Rethink Coaching and author of Less Over More, to redefine success for real estate professionals.
As we navigate a "flat" fourth year of market shifts, the "Success Trap" is real: what got you here won't get you to the next level. This episode is a masterclass in real estate lead generation, database management, and intentional growth.
