Episode Synopsis

If you're looking at the Las Vegas market through the lens of fear, you're already behind. Skyrocketing inventory, tighter buyer scrutiny, and a 20% cancellation rate on deals have many agents spinning. But here's the truth: whatever you believe about the market, real estate never stops. Deals are still happening, and people are still buying and selling houses. The agents who are thriving in this market aren't riding the rollercoaster of fear; they're anchored in systems, guided by data, and leading with relationships. We're in a moment that demands more than hustle. It demands skill, mindset, and structure. Buyers have more choices, sellers are growing restless, and agents? Too many are frozen, reacting instead of responding, dabbling instead of doubling down. If you don't know how to guide a client through a longer listing timeline, price shifts, or emotional decision-making, you're not just at risk; you're replaceable. And that's where most agents are struggling, not because they're lazy, but because no one ever taught them how to sell in this kind of market. How are top agents dealing with follow-up, price conversations, and nervous sellers? What do we need to leverage to have the edge? In today's powerhouse panel, we're joined by two brokers who've led through market crashes, REO chaos, legislative battles, and boom cycles alike. Keith Lynam and Tom Blanchard return to the show for a no-fluff conversation packed with unfiltered insights on what it really takes to lead, sell, and stay sane in today's market.    Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Slow market or unprepared agents Inventory is up 78%, but that's not the problem. How can you get ahead by actually educating your clients instead of panicking? -Your mindset is your business plan Top producers show up like CEOs, struggling agents show up like employees. What daily rituals and systems help agents stay accountable, energized, and committed, even when the deals aren't flowing? -Burnout isn't from working too hard If you're chasing leads instead of building relationships, burnout is inevitable. What does it really mean to be a relationship-based agent in this market? -Scripts are dead, conversations are king If you're reading a script, you're already losing.
