Welcome back to the Forward One Podcast, hosted by Paul Mark Morris and Josh Spitzen of Forward One Real Estate. In this episode, we sit down with Rory Barish to unpack what a 40-year real estate career teaches you about client care, integrity, and playing the long game. Rory shares why the best agents don’t chase every deal, how trust compounds over decades, and what truly separates professionals who last from those who burn out. If you want to build a reputation that creates repeat clients, referrals, and real longevity in this business, this conversation is a must-listen.
