In this episode of Real Talk with REsimpli, Chenay Jordan and Don Carlson sit down with Chip Ferguson, owner of Smooth Closing, to unpack how nearly a decade as a high-volume online poker player shaped the way he thinks about probability, emotional control, risk, data, and decision-making in real estate. Chip shares how he went from doing virtually everything himself to building an 11-person operation that has closed around 250 deals since the beginning of 2023. In this episode, we get into: - How poker taught Chip to stay calm when outcomes don’t go his way - The mistakes he made on his first real estate investment - Why he waited nine years before making his first hire - How hitting the same 36-deal ceiling two years in a row forced him to change - Why your first hire should depend on what you’re actually bad at - Building trust and negotiating with motivated sellers - When Chip chooses to wholesale vs. wholetail a property - How his team tackles complicated title and ownership problems other investors may walk away from - Why he relies heavily on data instead of trying to predict the housing market - The new-build deal that taught him a painful lesson about market predictions - Why doing what you’re best at can be a bigger advantage than chasing every real estate strategy - The mindset behind Chip’s 8+ year streak of working out every single day REsimpli is an intuitive, all-in-one real estate software built for real estate investors that require little to no customization, so you can have your CRM up and running in minutes.

In this episode of Real Talk with REsimpli, Chenay Jordan and Don Carlson sit down with Oklahoma real estate investor and developer Jay London to unpack nearly 30 years of lessons from flipping houses, home building, bankruptcy, rebuilding, and eventually transitioning into commercial development. Jay shares the moment a single house flip changed the direction of his life, what going broke taught him about risk, and why one of his biggest regrets was selling nearly everything he built instead of keeping more income-producing assets. We also dive into: • Why diversification matters in every real estate cycle • The danger of chasing “shiny objects” and social media success • Why Jay believes investors should build wealth—not just chase big checks • How residential investors can begin moving into commercial real estate • Ground-up development, warehouses, multifamily, and small-bay flex space • How commercial properties are valued differently from residential real estate • The biggest risks of becoming overleveraged • Why mentorship can save investors from expensive mistakes • How to approach zoning, permitting, architects, engineers, attorneys, and development teams • Why you shouldn’t close on land before confirming what you can actually build • Why land development can be one of the slowest—but most lucrative—real estate strategies REsimpli is an intuitive, all-in-one real estate software built for real estate investors that require little to no customization, so you can have your CRM up and running in minutes.
