Episode 717: Stop Doing It All Yourself: Build a Dream Team That Actually Works
Still juggling emails, listings, social posts, and pretending you “love the grind”? Time to stop the madness. In this episode, I show you how to hire your first (and next) virtual staff member without turning into a full-time babysitter.
I started with one assistant who did everything, and somehow survived to tell the tale. Now I’ve built a full virtual team that runs my business while I focus on relationships and growth. Want that life? Let’s get you there.
You’ll learn how to:
• Pick your next hire based on your strengths (not envy for Joe’s strategy)
• Build a virtual team that actually gets things done
• Create clear roles for admins, marketers, and tech staff
• Use one interactive org chart to scale without losing your sanity

Episode 716: How I Manage 55 Virtual Staff Without Losing My Mind
I run a virtual team of 55 people (yes, 5-5) doing everything from admin tasks to social media, coding, and design. Before you clutch your coffee, no, I didn’t start that way. My first hire was chaos because I had no idea what they were supposed to do. Surprise! It was my fault, not theirs.
In this episode, we scratch more than the surface of how to create a clear AI prompt for your virtual staff, one that actually helps them show up better, work smarter, and keep your business running while you’re sleeping or pretending to “check emails.”
You’ll learn how to:
• Write a simple hiring and workflow prompt your virtual staff can follow
• Define daily, weekly, and monthly tasks with zero confusion
• Use AI tools to make your virtual team more productive
• Set up performance metrics that actually mean something

Episode 715: The “S.T.A.Y.” That Fixes Your Social Media Mess
Most agents treat their social media like a digital junk drawer. A “Just Listed” here, a “Happy Friday” there, and then… crickets. In this episode, I talk about my “S.T.A.Y.” method, the one that finally makes sense of real estate content chaos.
I, who spent four years working with Facebook and Instagram, share how S.T.A.Y. helps agents stop guessing and start connecting. This isn’t about going viral. It’s showing up consistently, creating posts people care about, and actually getting real estate leads without dancing in your kitchen.
Here’s what you’ll get:
• A clear plan for what to post each week using the S.T.A.Y. method
• Ways to turn simple stories into meaningful real estate conversations
• Tips to keep your real estate audience engaged and coming back
• Examples of posts that grow trust, relationships, and referrals
If your social media feels random or exhausting, this episode might be the reset you need. Comment “S.T.A.Y.” below if you want a copy of the framework, and don’t forget to subscribe for more refreshingly real real estate marketing advice.

Episode 714: The “P” That Brings Clients Back, In Person!
The average agent loses 70% of past clients simply by forgetting to show up in person. That’s right, the “P” in HOP (aka People) could be the easiest way to grow your real estate business in 2026 without spending another cent on ads or learning the latest TikTok trend you secretly hate.
In this episode, I break down how meeting clients in person builds trust faster than any chatbot ever could. Spoiler? Robots can’t hug. I share how coffee chats, client events, and good old-fashioned thank-you notes keep my real estate referrals rolling in, one latte at a time.
You’ll learn how to:
• Plan low-cost real estate events that actually get people to show up
• Create easy one-on-one systems for real estate agents to connect weekly
• Turn casual meetups into long-term real estate leads and listings
• Use handwritten cards (yes, paper still exists) to grow client retention
Forget automation for a second and just be human, it still works. Comment your favorite client event idea and subscribe for more sarcastically honest real estate marketing tips.

Episode 713: The Secret To Getting More Clients From Social Media
Here’s a stat you’ll love: 80% of agents ignore the easiest money source they already own, their phone contacts. Yes, that magical “O” in HOP (aka Online) could be the thing that finally wakes your real estate business up in 2026. Surprise! It doesn’t involve cold calls, door knocking, or pretending you like open houses.
In this episode, I break down how to meet clients online without selling your soul to algorithms. We’re talking about showing up where people already scroll, social media, email, and local communities, because apparently, that’s where humans live now.
You’ll learn how to:
• Build a zero-cost real estate marketing system that grows leads all year
• Use Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn for real estate agents to stay top of mind
• Send a real estate newsletter your sphere won’t delete (a miracle, honestly)
• Turn DMs into real estate referrals without being “that” agent
Because for real, if you can scroll memes, you can scroll for money. Comment how you stay connected to your clients online, then subscribe for more daily real estate business growth tips that actually work.
