Welcome back to Real Talk with Andres & Heather, where we unpack the moments nobody trains for—but every professional eventually faces.

In this “What Would You Do?” Real Estate Edition, Andres and Heather put you in the hot seat with a scenario that’s happening every day across the country:

You’ve worked with a first-time homebuyer for months.
You’ve shown homes, written offers, navigated inspections, and finally secured the win.
Then—two days before closing—your client asks you to step aside so their newly licensed cousin can take over and “keep the commission in the family.”

So… what would you do?

Fight for your commission?
Walk away to protect your peace?
Lean on the contract—or lean on your values?

This episode dives deep into:

Real estate ethics and professional boundaries

Buyer representation agreements and protection periods

Legal, emotional, and reputational risks agents face

How communication (or lack of it) can derail a deal

Why leadership shows up most in uncomfortable moments

There’s no right or wrong answer—only your answer, and what it says about the professional you want to be known as.
