  Real Estate Is Losing Its Soul 16.09.2026 54min

  Real estate has spent years talking about transactions, market share, disruption, technology, and growth. But somewhere along the way, did the industry lose sight of the people at the center of it?   James Dwiggins and Keith Robinson sit down with philosopher, speaker, and longtime real estate industry veteran Matthew Ferrara for a wide-ranging conversation about why he believes real estate is at risk of losing its soul. Matthew explains why professionals want more than a full wallet, they want a full heart and a sense that the work they do actually matters.   They explore how division and tribalism are reshaping the industry, why leaders should be hard on problems but soft on people, and what it would take to rehumanize real estate. The conversation also tackles some of the industry's biggest debates, including consumer data, private listings, real estate portals, transparency, and whether disruption has become more important than collaboration. Ultimately, Matthew argues that the path forward starts by returning to the human equation and focusing on the people already within your sphere of influence.

  Agent Series 55: Average Is Invisible 14.09.2026 50min

  The middle of the real estate industry is disappearing. According to Nick Schlekeway, founder and CEO of Amherst Madison, the agents who survive won't be the ones blending in, they'll be the ones who become essential. James Dwiggins and Keith Robinson sit down with Nick to unpack the philosophy behind his upcoming book, The Essential Agent, and why "average is invisible" has become the defining idea behind his approach to real estate. Nick shares lessons from his time as a Division I football player, Boise firefighter, real estate agent, and brokerage founder, including why preparation is a competitive advantage, why successful people need a "rookie mentality," and how leading by example creates stronger organizations. They also explore the danger of becoming disposable to your clients, why agents need a clearly defined value proposition, and the mistake Nick believes held him back early in his career: trying to find new things to say to the same audience instead of taking a proven message to more people.

  5 Hours of Lead Gen Daily: How Top Agents Win 09.09.2026 43min

  At 21 years old, Debbie De Grote became the number one Century 21 agent in Los Angeles and Orange County and number three in the nation. Her secret wasn't a revolutionary marketing strategy. It was five hours of lead generation every single day.   James Dwiggins and Keith Robinson sit down with Debbie, CEO and co-founder of Forward Coaching, to unpack the discipline, routines, and accountability that separate top real estate agents from everyone else. Debbie shares how she built a business producing as many as 156 transactions a year as a solo agent, what she learned during 13 years with the Mike Ferry organization, and the lessons she's gained from more than 100,000 private coaching calls.   From prospecting and follow-up to emotional intelligence and coaching, this conversation gets to the heart of why knowing what to do isn't enough. Success comes from consistently doing the work.   Links mentioned during the episode: Forward Coaching Negotiations Course: info.forwardcoaching.com/podcast How I Built It Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/spanx-sara-blakely/id1150510297?i=1000396023160   Connect with Debbie on Facebook - LinkedIn   Learn more about Forward Coaching on Facebook - LinkedIn - Instagram and online at forwardcoaching.com   Subscribe to Real Estate Insiders Unfiltered on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/@RealEstateInsidersUnfiltered?sub_confirmation=1   To learn more about becoming a sponsor of the show, send us an email: [email protected]   You asked for it.

  Agent Series 54: The Other Agent Is Your Real Client 07.09.2026 50min

  What if one of the most important relationships in a real estate transaction isn't with your buyer or seller, but with the agent on the other side? James Dwiggins and Keith Robinson sit down with Cari McGee, team leader of the Cari McGee Team at RE/MAX Northwest in Washington, to unpack the systems and relationships behind more than 650 home sales and 270-plus five-star reviews. Cari shares how she generates roughly 70% of her business from referrals, keeps former clients engaged through her Rockstar Rewards program, and uses consistent expectation-setting to protect both her clients and her own time. But her biggest piece of advice is surprisingly simple: treat the other agent like they're your client. Because when a transaction gets difficult, that relationship can make or break the deal.

  Why Real Estate Pros Are Terrible Investors 02.09.2026 50min

  Real estate professionals help people build wealth through property every day. So why are so many of them terrible at investing for themselves?   James Dwiggins and Keith Robinson sit down with Russ Morgan, founder of Wealth Without Wall Street, to unpack the difference between earning a great income and actually achieving financial freedom.

  Agent Series 53: Relationships Over Transactions - How to Build a $6B Business 31.08.2026 56min

  Louise Phillips Forbes started her real estate career making just $8,400 in her first year. More than three decades later, she has closed over $6 billion in real estate, and she credits much of that success to a philosophy that has very little to do with chasing transactions.   James Dwiggins and Keith Robinson sit down with Louise, founder of the Louise Phillips Forbes Team at Brown Harris Stevens, to discuss why relationships, generosity, service, and authenticity have remained at the center of her business. Louise shares how she built her sphere organically, why other agents should be viewed as colleagues instead of competitors, and why treating every relationship like an opportunity for a commission can actually work against you.   They also explore how New York real estate has changed throughout Louise's 35-year career, the growing battle over private listings, balancing service with being a strong negotiator, and why even a $6 billion producer is still willing to rethink how she runs her business.   Connect with Louise on LinkedIn - Instagram (team) - Instagram (self) - Facebook and online at louisephillipsforbes.com.

  The Truth About the Housing Shortage 26.08.2026 49min

  For years, the real estate industry has been told America has a severe housing shortage. But what if the data tells a different story?   James Dwiggins and Keith Robinson sit down with Ryan McKeveny, Managing Director at Zelman & Associates, to challenge one of housing's biggest assumptions.
