Between challenges in the market and the changes to legislation, 2024 wasn’t the easiest time to be in real estate. It’s hardly surprising that we’re expecting a 20% to 40% exit rate of licensed agents. But for some agents, tough markets are actually the best time to grow. 

Even though the market was at an all time low, some agents have been able to thrive, raise their commissions and grow their market share. How do you join their ranks? 

When an agent is doing all the right things, buyers and sellers will never bat an eye on hiring you and paying you what you’re worth. 2025 is promising to be a great year with a ton of opportunities for some agents. 

What do you need to be paying attention to if you want to win over the next 12 months? Has anything good come out of the NAR settlement? 

How do you raise your commissions this year? In this episode, I’m joined by Broker/Owner and CEO of Lamacchia Realty, Anthony Lamacchia. He shares what it takes to succeed in real estate in today’s market. 

At this time of the year, inventory is at its lowest so buyers are back to competing, sellers are back to ruling the roost because there’s less to choose from. -Anthony Lamacchia
