If you’re a real estate agent working hard but struggling with inconsistent closings, this episode is for you. In a shifting real estate market, the agents who are still closing homes consistently aren’t just doing different things — they’re thinking differently. And that mindset shift is often the difference between agents who keep growing and agents who quietly pull back when results slow.

In Part 2 of this 5-part series, real estate agent business coach Vanessa Franz Barnes breaks down the mindset patterns successful six-figure real estate agents use to stay consistent, focused, and in action — even when deals fall apart, buyers pause, or the market feels heavy.

This episode will help you recognize how your internal dialogue impacts your follow-up, your confidence, and your consistency — and how to stay anchored in the actions that actually lead to more closings.

Key takeaways from this episode:

• Why successful real estate agents don’t let the market define their confidence or identity

• How negative thought patterns quietly slow momentum and follow-up

• The mindset gap that causes agents to hesitate, overthink, and pull back

• Why tracking numbers shows what needs to change — but mindset determines whether you follow through

• A practical 3-step mindset reset you can use immediately

This Week’s Action Exercise:

For the next 7 days, when you notice hesitation or overthinking, ask yourself:

1. What just happened? Stick to facts only.

2. What story am I telling myself about it? Notice it without judgment.

3. What’s the next action I can take today that moves my business forward? One follow-up. One conversation. One lead generation action — then do it.
   

This is how six-figure real estate agents protect momentum and stay in control of their business.

Make sure you follow so you don’t miss Part 3 where we are shifting into lead generation and breaking down what six-figure agents are actually focusing on in this market (and what they’ve stopped doing).

If you’re a real estate agent struggling with inconsistent closings in this shifting market, this episode is your roadmap. Market slowdowns expose a real gap between agents who continue closing consistently and agents who don’t. But the good news? You can close that gap — and this 5-part series will show you how.

In today’s episode, real estate coach Vanessa Franz Barnes, who has sold over 1,000 homes through multiple market shifts, breaks down why some agents still grow in challenging markets — and the exact adjustments you need to make if you want consistent $10–$20K+ months as a profitable real estate agent.

You’ll learn:

• Why a shifting market does NOT mean fewer closings

• How today’s buyer/seller behavior impacts your results

• Why fundamentals matter even more in this market

• The new ratios you need to understand to stay competitive

• How to track your numbers so you can adjust with intention

• Why data — not emotion — must guide your business right now

• The first big shift every 6-figure agent is making

If you’re watching other agents close consistently and wondering, “What are they doing that I’m not?” this episode gives you the clarity you’ve been missing. You’ll understand exactly how to evaluate what the market is doing, how that impacts your business, and how to pivot your approach so you stay in momentum instead of falling into the stop-start cycle.

This Week’s Action Step: Track these three numbers every day for the next 7 days:

1. Conversations

2. Appointments set + held

3. Agreements signed

Let the numbers tell you what’s actually happening — and where your gap is.

If you’re a real estate agent dealing with inconsistent income, feeling stuck in the stop–start cycle, or constantly rebuilding your pipeline from zero, this episode is exactly what you need. Inconsistent income is one of the biggest reasons agents never hit consistent $10–$20K+ months—and most don’t realize it’s the real problem holding them back from becoming a truly profitable real estate agent.

In today’s episode, real estate coach Vanessa Franz Barnes—who sold 1,000 homes without cold calling—breaks down why inconsistency shows up in your business and the three areas that quietly keep agents stuck. If you’re tired of the roller coaster and ready for structure, strategy, and results you can count on, this episode will shift everything.

You’ll learn:

• Why inconsistency costs you money, clients, and opportunities

• The “stop–start” cycle that keeps agents stuck at zero

• The real reason motivation fades—and how to rebuild momentum • The numbers every profitable agent tracks daily

• Why winging your day creates unpredictable income • The schedule structure that keeps your pipeline full

• Why accountability is non-negotiable if you want a 6-figure business

This episode will help you understand why your business feels unpredictable—and exactly where to focus so you can build steady, simple, and profitable months without working 24/7.

• Episode 13: Creating your ideal weekly schedule

• Episodes 2, 3, and 4: How to choose your lead gen strategies

• Join my program that helps agents build consistent 10–20K months (link in show notes)

Have you ever scrolled through social media and wondered if you have what it takes? You see other agents crushing it while you’re still spinning your wheels? That’s imposter syndrome and it’s one of the sneakiest things keeping real estate agents stuck.

I’ll share how it kept me playing small for years and I’ll share 3 steps I teach my clients to overcome it fast.

When I got my real estate license, I remember that feeling of seeing the word “PASS” and I was so excited about what my future would look like. 

But what no one told me back then is that passing the test and building a consistent, profitable real estate business are two very different things.

In this episode, I’m walking you through the exact steps I wish I’d known from day one. The ones that actually move the needle for real estate agents who want to reach a six-figure income.

We’ll talk about:

• How to start thinking like a business-owner (not just an agent)

• The key numbers every real estate agent should track

• How to create a simple plan that gets predictable results

If you’re tired of guessing what to do each day and ready to finally grow your real estate business with clarity and confidence, this episode will help you take the guesswork out of success.

Ready for a clear plan to hit your income goals? DM me the word PLAN on Instagram, and I’ll send you my free worksheet that shows you exactly how many homes, appointments, and conversations you need to reach your six-figure goal.

Have you ever had a friend, family member, or even a past client chooses another agent? It hurts, right? I’ve been there and honestly; it used to knock me off track for weeks.

In this episode, I’m sharing how I learned to pivot more quickly to get back on track and into production. I call it the “24-Hour Pity Party.” 

Here’s what I walk you through:

• Why losing a deal doesn’t mean you’re failing

• How to give yourself space to feel disappointed without staying stuck

• My 24-hour rule for processing and pivoting fast

• A simple reset action that rebuilds confidence and keeps your business moving
  

If this has ever happened to you or when it does, this episode will help you bounce back stronger and faster.

If you’ve had your own 24-hour pity party moment, DM me on Instagram and tell me what it looked like and how you bounced back. I’d love to hear your story.

• Why waiting until you “feel ready” keeps you stuck longer than you think

• How one decision completely transformed my business and my belief in myself

• The common trap most agents fall into and how to avoid it

You don’t need to start over, you just need to start doing the right things - right NOW!

If you’re collecting names, emails, and phone numbers, but doing nothing with them, you’re sitting on a goldmine!

In today’s episode, I’m giving you a sneak peek into my signature program and how I turned my database into a 7-figure business. Most agents focus all their energy on getting new leads and then completely ignore the ones they already have. Your database is the single most valuable asset in your business, but only if you actually use it.

You’ll learn:

• Why inconsistent follow-up leads to inconsistent income

• A few simple steps to start setting up your database

• How to stay in touch without feeling salesy

• The key mistakes agents make that cost them thousands of dollars

How much money you make is directly correlated to how well you cultivate and care for your database. 

When you invest the time and energy into a systematic approach, you create a business that’s predictable and sustainable in any market. 

You will not want to miss this one!
