      • 25: What It Takes To Flip High-end Homes | Chris Weaver

        Luxury flips, mountain markets, and high-level strategy. In this episode, we sit down with Utah luxury home flipper Chris to talk about what it really takes to succeed in high-end real estate. From Multi-million dollar dream homes, to detailed renovation planning, Chris breaks down how precision, patience, and calculated decisions separate average projects from elite ones. And a lot of times the little things are what make the biggest difference. A handshake and eye contact go a long ways.

        We dive into the mindset behind luxury flipping, how he evaluates deals, and why every small detail matters when working in markets like Park City, Heber, and Midway. If you’re into real estate, investing, design, or just love hearing how smart operators think — this one’s packed with value.

        Highlights:

        🧠 Chris’s ultra-calculated approach to luxury flips

        🔨 The details most flippers completely overlook

        💰 Balancing risk vs. reward in high-end real estate

        📈 What separates successful investors from gamblers

        🏡 Stories from luxury renovation projects in Utah

        We had the absolute honor to sit down with Cody Hofhine, co-founder of Joe Homebuyer, and our personal mentor -  to talk business, family, and what it really takes to succeed without sacrificing what matters most. This was our first LIVE recording of an episode, where we had a full room of awesome folks in attendance from our most recent REB Summit!

        Cody shares how he got started in real estate, the early challenges he faced early on with balancing family time and selling insurance, and how he went from hustling deals to helping build a nationally recognized wholesaling business. Along the way, he opens up about the mindset, discipline, and priorities that have shaped both his business success and his life as a dedicated husband and father. One of those priorities being mentorship and how that investment in yourself and your business can get you on the right track much faster.

        • 23: Building & Scaling A Large Flipping Operation | Rex Harrison

          Ever look at a successful house flipper and think, "How the hell are they doing 20 deals at once without losing their mind?" Well, buckle up — because Rex Harrison is here to explain exactly that, and somehow make it sound almost easy.

          We were fortunate enough to get Rex onto the show for a no-fluff, no-nonsense conversation about what it actually looks like to build a flipping operation that runs like a well-oiled machine — and not like a chaotic construction site (we've all seen those).

          Rex has been in the trenches. He's made the rookie mistakes, survived the contractor nightmares, and somehow came out the other side with a legit, scaled business. And lucky for everyone listening, he's dishing it all out for free.

          Here's what goes down in this episode:

          • How Rex stopped being a one-man show and actually built a team that didn't fall apart
          • Why most flippers stay small — and the mindset shift that changes everything
          • Contractor horror stories, hard lessons, and how to avoid the traps that eat your profits alive
          • The unsexy-but-critical systems that keep a high-volume operation from imploding
          • What scaling really costs you — and why it's still worth it
          • Look, flipping one house is hard enough. Flipping as many as Rex as well as maintaing all his rentals? That's a whole different sport. Rex breaks it down in a way that's real, relatable, and honest. 

            Whether you're on flip #1 or flip #50, this episode has something for you. Go ahead, hit play. Your future self (and your profit margins) will thank you. 💸

          • 22: Selling 60 Homes In His First Year Through Creative Financing | Cooper Murphy

            As one of the newest faces to Real Estate that we've had the pleasure of chatting with, Cooper has entered - guns-a-blazin' - with a clear vision and a mindset that won't crack. From hard years of door-to-door sales, to then turning those profits into a more long-term investment. Becoming a real estate agent is one thing. But to go the extra length, put in the extra hours, (that a lot of others are not willing to do) and to genuinely seek to help everyone in his circle, is another thing entirely. There's a reason the young buck, Mr. Cooper Murphy, has blown his first full year as an agent, out of the water. 60 homes. In 360 days. And getting creative with every seller's specific needs with financing, has made all the difference. There is so much to glean from this episode. We hope you get the chance to listen to the full thing. No one's doing it like Coop.

          • 20: From Country Singer to Rockstar Real Estate Agent | Kori Jean

            Having Kori on for our 20th episode was serendipitous to say the least! She is the first full-time agent we have interviewed on the show, and brought with her all the key elements to succeed as an agent in the Utah Real Estate market. You'll quickly learn how her kind and sweet nature is one of those key elements. Being an overall GOOD PERSON can make your life easier, and those around you. And that's in all aspects of life. And it sure pays dividends when helping people buy/sell one of the biggest investments of their life. She is always willing to collaborate and help others. If she doesn't immediately know the answer, she finds it. When others only work for the easy wins, Kori dives head first into the difficult wins. Too far a drive? Not a problem. House won't sell? Never heard of her. We hope you enjoy our chat with Kori as much as we did!
