If your listings are sitting—and the market feels slower than ever—you’re not alone. This week, we’re diving into a strategy that has helped Sarah’s team move hundreds of listings even in a real estate recession: the Online Broker’s Open. It’s a simple, scalable twist on an old-school tactic that gives sellers the feedback they need, restores trust, and gets homes sold.

We break down exactly how to host your first Online Broker’s Open, whether you’re a solo agent or part of a large team. You’ll learn how to gather top agents on a Zoom call, what to review first (spoiler: it’s photos), and how to evaluate if your remarks actually spark emotion—or if they’re just generic filler. We also walk through how to analyze showing data, identify price problems, and present those findings to a seller in a way that strengthens your value and moves them toward the right decision.

If your listings need momentum, this strategy gives you leverage, collaboration, and clarity—all in under an hour. The best part? You can implement it this week.

A Broker’s Open is solely used to receive feedback from agents concerning the marketing of specific listed properties and how the listing agent might make the listings more attractive to other agents and their buyer clients. No information is disclosed or discussed about knowledge of properties soon to be listed, commissions, business plans, or other non-public aspects of an agent’s business.

Ever find yourself running from one task to another---dropping off packages, managing carpools, juggling emails---and wondering, "When did I become my own assistant?" In this episode, Wendy Papasan and Kymber Lovett-Menkiti dive deep into the exact moment you know it's time to hire a personal assistant and how doing so can transform your business…and your life.

We explore what "buying back your time" really means, how to calculate your hourly rate so you can focus on the work that truly matters, and why hiring help isn't a luxury---it's leverage. You'll learn how to identify your signs of burnout, what qualities to look for in the right assistant (from ownership mindset to tech confidence), and practical ways to set them up for success---from defining 90 days to success to creating daily check-ins and clear rhythms of communication.

If you've ever struggled to let go of control or wondered if you can really afford help, this conversation will help you see that you can't afford not to. Empire builders don't do everything---they design systems and surround themselves with people who make it all possible.
