Welcome back to The Shivers Report.

The real estate industry has changed—and a lot of agents didn’t change with it. In this episode, Nick and Keegan Shivers break down the reality of today’s market and why nearly 70% of agents didn’t sell a single home in 2025.

The days of easy listings, multiple offers, and accidental success are over. Real estate is a business, not a side hustle—and the agents who survive 2026 will be the ones who treat it that way.

We talk about:

• Why the low barrier to entry created unprepared agents

• How bringing solutions beats simply putting a sign in the yard

• Why experience and mentorship matter more than years licensed

• What actually generates business right now

• How AI will separate the next wave of top agents

Bottom line: real estate is a full-contact sport. The agents who win are the ones willing to learn, adapt, and do the work.
