The current market is throwing challenge after challenge at real estate professionals - market downturns, inflation, interest rates and commission changes.

It can feel overwhelming to face it all at once. But here’s the truth: top-producing real estate agents have faced similar challenges before and come out victorious.

Those who thrived through the 2008 recession learned to expect the unexpected. They weren’t caught off guard when the market shifted—they anticipated it, prepared for the worst, and stayed ahead. 

How can we prepare for the shift that’s about to hit us? How does anticipation and expectation of the worst take away the shock value? Does this help us gain control of the situation?

In this episode, director of product growth at Real Producers Magazine Bobby Wright joins me to talk about navigating the uncertain real estate market and why the best agents actually wait for a challenging market. We also share our key takeaways for ending on strong note in 2024 and going into 2025 with a solid game plan.
