Most real estate agents don’t fail from lack of strategy…

They fail because they never upgraded the operator behind the business.

In this raw and unfiltered episode, I share the identity shift I went through this year—the one that made me feel like I was burning down my business… when I was actually pruning it for explosive growth.

Here’s what you’ll hear:

• Why your strategy will eventually stop working if you don’t grow personally
• The exact moment I realized I was the fly slamming into the glass
• What it means to borrow belief—and why mentorship changed everything for me
• The difference between hustling to survive vs. executing to win
• A high-standard invitation to become the woman your next level requires

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things and still stuck… this one’s for you.

Because you don’t need a new script—you need a new standard.

If you’re a new agent—or just feel like you’re starting over—this episode is for you.

I’m pulling back the curtain on my early years in real estate: the hustle, the heartbreak, the late-night wine displays at Walmart (yes, really), and the moment it all clicked. I’ll share the exact strategies I used to build momentum in my first year and what I’d do differently if I had to start from scratch today.

Inside this episode, we talk about:

• How I closed $2.5M in my first 9 months (even with zero clients at first)
• The mindset shift that changed my confidence forever
• Why the best agents aren’t the ones who know everything
• The systems I wish I’d built earlier
• What I’d do today to stand out in this market
• How to build credibility before you even have closings

Power Moves:

• Keep a notebook of real conversations and client questions
• Focus on education like it’s your full-time job
• Stop trying to look perfect—show your process
• Create structure before the clients arrive
• Learn to say, “I don’t know, but I’ll find out” with confidence

Today we’re pulling back the curtain on something most agents ignore until it’s too late: seller psychology. If you’ve ever had a listing fall apart for no logical reason—or a seller spiral mid-transaction—this episode is your permission slip to stop winging it and start running your business like the professional you are.

This one’s for the agents who:

• Want fewer freakouts and more calm closings
• Know pricing is more emotional than logical
• Are ready to run listings without losing their minds (or clients)

And if you’re a seller listening in? You’re about to see exactly what separates a basic agent from a structured one. Spoiler: it’s not just photos and signs in the yard.

Most real estate deals don’t fall apart because of one big mistake—they unravel from 20 tiny ones no one planned for. In today’s episode of Real Estate, Refined, Blaklee breaks down how chaotic deals can almost always be traced back to one thing: a lack of systems. Whether you’re a seller or an agent, this episode will challenge the way you think about structure, communication, and professionalism in the real estate process.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

– Why missed deadlines and poor communication cost thousands

– How systems create clarity, confidence, and calm (even in chaos)

– The truth about emotional regulation in negotiations

– What to ask your listing agent before you ever sign the paperwork

– How a reactive agent can derail your deal—and how to avoid it

Power Move: If you’re an agent, this is your permission slip to slow down, get curious, and lead with process—not panic. If you’re a seller, this will help you understand what separates a good agent from a great one.
