Is social media ruining real estate work ethic? We dive into the old-school vs. new-school mindset with Casey Hampton and Austin Pantuso. Volume, sacrifice, and the truth behind success in real estate.

In this unfiltered episode of the Key Factors Podcast – Real Estate AF, Mark Jones sits down with real estate veterans Casey Hampton (25+ year mortgage leader, formerly with D.R. Horton and Meritage Homes) and Austin Pantuso (broker and President of United Realty Group) to break down the massive shift happening in real estate and lending post-2020.

🔥 What we cover:

- Are agents and LOs relying too much on social media and not enough on skills?
- Is lead generation dead or just lazy?
- Why “part-time” real estate careers don’t cut it in 2025
- How today’s buyers are stuck in 2021 mindsets
- Real talk on wealth gaps, financial literacy, and homeownership strategy
- The new rules of building trust and referrals in a digital-first world

Whether you're a new agent, a seasoned broker, or somewhere in between — this conversation cuts deep into the mindset, work ethic, and education gap that’s growing in the real estate space.
