We’re taking a short summer break to celebrate some family milestones 🎉—but before we go, Glen shares some flat fee wins ($123,931 saved this week alone!) and introduces powerful new tools for sellers, including the Living to Listing course and our MLS Refresh strategy.

Then we revisit Truth #5: Every Day Is a Good Day to Sell a House. First covered way back in episode 10, so we have some update and new tips for “off-season selling”.

Think there’s a “bad time” to sell your home in Ohio? Glen busts that myth with real-life stories of motivated buyers (like Bill, who bought in December without blinking). You’ll learn why taking your home off the market can mean missing your best buyer—and how staying visible pays off, no matter the season.

Does your Realtor’s value really come down to how fast they answer the phone? In this episode of Talking Realty, Glen Whitten (founder of Ohio Property Group) breaks down why that common belief is not only wrong, but potentially harmful to home sellers.

Glen shares a real story of an agent who criticized him for not answering his phone “fast enough” — and why that critique misses the point entirely. Professionalism isn’t about desperation. True results come from systems, strategy, and experience — not taking calls in the grocery store or mid-birthday party.

He also explains why written communication beats random calls every time, how to spot “sign chasers” (agents who poach clients), and why you should run from Realtors who measure success by phone availability rather than proven results.
