In this episode of Ski In, Sell Out, Max and Lauren sit down with Ben Fisher, one of the founders of Christie’s International Real Estate Park City. Ben’s path is rare — he got his first “referral fee” at 16 working in a ski shop, skipped the typical post-college wandering years, and jumped into real estate full-time by his early 20s.

Ben opens up about:

• Growing up in Park City after his dad took a massive career swing to move the family west park-city-real-estate-journey-t…
• What it’s like to build a brokerage from absolutely nothing (literally no carpet, no accounting, no systems) park-city-real-estate-journey-t…
• How Christie's founders fit together and why the partnership works without ego or drama park-city-real-estate-journey-t…
• The pressure of raising kids in the Park City “bubble” and fighting entitlement with real-world experiences park-city-real-estate-journey-t…
• Being an introvert running operations behind the scenes — and why people listen when he does speak up park-city-real-estate-journey-t…
• What he actually enjoys about real estate now, 15+ years in

This one is honest, grounded, and a great look inside the people shaping modern Park City real estate.

Max and Lauren welcome Sam, one of the owners of Christie's International Real Estate Park City and a former top agent at Sotheby’s, to talk about the real story behind his “rocket ship” career.

Sam shares how he went from bartending and bouncing around Europe, to moving to Park City for family, to jumping into real estate with a father-in-law who handed him the “junk” leads. He talks about cold-calling architects, pulling a postcard out of the trash that led to a life-long client, and why having a New Zealand accent is secretly a sales advantage.

The conversation ranges from:

• how to spot and act on “luck” by keeping your head up
• treating open houses and random encounters as real opportunities
• building trust with other agents so they actually want to send you business
• traveling with kids and raising a family inside the Park City bubble
• what stress did to his dad and why he now designs his life and company to avoid it
• why Christie's Park City was built to be fun, low-ego, and human-first

It’s a candid, warm, and surprisingly deep talk about identity, parenting, community, and why real estate doesn’t have to feel like a grind to work.

What happens when a lifelong skier from the Poconos follows his heart west—and ends up helping shape one of the most dynamic resort real-estate markets in the country?

In this heartfelt episode of Ski In Sell Out, Max and Lauren talk with Matt Magnotta, Managing Partner at Christie’s International Real Estate Park City, about his climb from golf professional to trusted development-sales leader. Matt opens up about the recession that tested him, the mentors who helped him redefine sales through honesty and service, and the peace he’s found in living where others dream of vacationing.

This episode is about more than real estate—it’s about resilience, character, and choosing to live life with intention in the mountains.

Two-time Olympic speed skater Aly Dudek swapped the ice for the Wasatch Back—and she’s not looking back. In this episode, Max and Lauren dig into what it really means to “sell out” in Park City: chasing big goals, rebuilding identity, and finding purpose after the podium. Aly dishes on life in a team of top agents, the competitive edge that never dies, and how she accidentally became the Realtor everyone wants on their side (and on their bike rides).

Expect laughs, truth bombs, and a few inside jokes about fanny packs, medals, and the fine art of showing homes in ski boots.

In this episode of Ski In, Sell Out, Max and Lauren sit down with Jake Doilney—Principal Broker at Christie’s International Real Estate Park City—to trace a multigenerational story of vision, grit, and reinvention.

They explore:

• 🏔️ How Park City’s “ski-in sell-out” roots shaped today’s real-estate landscape
• 🧠 Why being called a sellout can actually mean showing up for your community
• 👨‍👩‍👧 The intertwined Doilney family tree that helped build modern Park City
• 💡 Mentorship, burnout, and how to thrive through market cycles
• ❤️ Why human connection—not commissions—keeps the best brokers going

This candid conversation moves from heartfelt to hilarious, reminding listeners that growth and gratitude can coexist with change.

In this kickoff episode of Ski In, Sell Out, Max and Lauren unpack what it really means to “sell out.”

After a summer of growth and reflection, the two dive into why they ditched the old name (Keeping It Real Estate), what success looks like in a small-town market, and how to stay authentic in an industry built on image.

Expect laughter, vulnerability, and a few hard truths about fear, money, ambition, and what it takes to build a career that actually feels like you.

Whether you’re a real-estate pro, a Park City local, or just figuring out your next chapter, this episode is your lift ticket to a more honest take on success.

🎿 Because in this town, everyone’s skiing some version of the same run — we’re just trying not to lose ourselves on the way down.

In this episode of Ski in-Sell Out!, we sit down with Christine Grenney—who’s been rocking Park City real estate for over two decades—to talk passion, pixie dust, and playing the long game. Christine’s not just selling houses, she’s selling the whole Park City experience—best burritos, secret powder-day parking spots, and all. She shares why there’s no room for scarcity thinking, how protecting your value means never discounting your worth, and why finding the right fit with clients matters more than chasing every deal. It’s honest, high-energy, and full of the kind of local intel you can’t Google.

In this inaugural episode of Ski in-Sell Out! (Previously -Keeping It Real(estate)), Max Doilney gets brutally honest about what it means to reinvent yourself mid-career—while learning to love a profession he once judged.

From owning a restaurant to serving on city council, to finally going all-in on real estate, Max shares why he’s launching this podcast (alone… for now), and what he hopes it becomes.

It’s raw, unfiltered, and the perfect starting point for anyone questioning what’s next in their work, their hometown, or their identity.

Themes: career transitions, Park City real estate, self-reflection, community, and calling BS (nicely).

In Episode 2, The Edge of the Dive, Lauren joins Max to talk through her looming career change—leaving adolescent mental health to step into real estate. She hasn’t told her current job yet, but the decision is alive in her head and heart. Together, they explore what it means to trade a helping profession for a business often judged as superficial or greedy.

The conversation ranges from Park City’s $28 million deals to the awkwardness of calling yourself a “realtor,” from the weight of financial risk to the search for community impact. They talk judgments, hypocrisy, and whether authenticity can survive in an industry driven by commissions.

At its core, this episode is about transition: the fears that come with it, the excitement that fuels it, and the hope that building something genuine—relationships, community, and a life of balance—is possible on the other side.
