    GET REAL: Here are the HOT Real Estate Topics in 2026 - Part One (S3:E2)
    Jan 23 2026
    It’s time for another episode of GET REAL with Jack & Cindy, and this one was too good to keep short.

    We’re diving into the hottest real estate topics we’re seeing play out right now and there was so much to unpack, we had to split it into two parts.

    In Part One, we get real about sellers who want to “wait and see” on pricing and why that strategy can quietly cost you in today’s market. We also break down how buyers have changed. It’s a new year, a new mindset, and today’s buyers are more informed, more cautious, and way more intentional than they used to be.

    If you’re buying, selling, or just trying to understand what’s actually happening out there beyond the headlines, this episode will give you clarity and straight talk you can use.

    Stay tuned for Part Two next week.

    GET REAL: Hot Topics for 2025 Including 50 Yr & Portable Mortgages (S2:E22)
    Dec 5 2025
    We’re wrapping up 2025, so you know we had to talk about the stuff everyone’s whispering about but not of a lot of people are really explaining. Yep… 50-year mortgages, portable mortgages, and all the “Is this good or is this going to bite us?” questions buyers and sellers keep throwing at us.

    In this episode, we break down what these new ideas actually mean in real life — not the headline version. We keep it REAL with the real-world version. How they could affect affordability, monthly payments, future resale, and what you should be thinking about if you’re planning to buy, sell, or invest in 2026.

    No fluff… just two REALTORS® getting real about where the market is headed, what’s hype, and what really matters for your bottom line.

    Tune in, grab a coffee (or wine), and let’s make this stuff make sense.

  • GET REAL: Are Open Houses Worth It for Sellers, Buyers & Agents? YES! (S2:E18)

    GET REAL: Are Open Houses Worth It for Sellers, Buyers & Agents? YES! (S2:E18)

    Open Houses — Why They Still Matter

    Most homes aren’t technically sold from an open house…but that doesn’t mean they’re not powerful. In this episode of GET REAL with Jack & Cindy, we pull back the curtain on why open houses are still a crucial tool for buyers and agents right now. National stats say only about 3% of buyers start with an open house — but nearly 50% attend at some point in their home search. And sellers are leaning into it too: the average seller now hosts two open houses, up from just one a few years ago. So what’s the point if most deals don’t close in the living room that day? Here’s what we break down:
    • Why open houses create eyeballs and foot traffic you can’t get anywhere else.
    • How they give buyers a no-pressure way to tour homes and “shop” agents.
    • The reason agents should treat them as a lead-generation machine (yes, even without a buyer-broker agreement).
    • The urgency and FOMO that open houses build when buyers see others walking through.
    • Real-time feedback sellers and agents can use to adjust their strategy.
    Bottom line: Open houses aren’t dead — they’re just misunderstood.

    Whether you’re a buyer looking for a low-barrier way to explore homes or an agent hoping to build your pipeline, this episode will show you how to make open houses work for you. 👉 Hit play and let’s get real about open houses.

    GET REAL: Buyer Broker Agreements - One Year After the NAR Settlement (S2:E17)
    Sep 25 2025
    It’s been a year since the NAR settlement reshaped how REALTORS® work with buyers—and the industry is still adjusting. In this episode of GET REAL with Jack & Cindy, we unpack what’s really changed (and what hasn’t). From buyer broker agreements to compensation conversations, we break down what this shift means for:
    • Agents trying to protect their value and explain it clearly.
    • Buyers navigating new paperwork—and what happens if you sign with the wrong agent. (Hint: there’s only a short window to cancel if you get trapped or tricked.)
    • Sellers wondering how these changes impact negotiations and offers.
    No fluff—just straight talk about where we are one year later, what’s working, and where the roadblocks remain. 👉 Whether you’re an agent, buyer, or seller, this episode gives you the insight you need to stay a step ahead in today’s market.
