In this episode of SOLD by MC, I sit down with Rachel Reilly, one of Elfant Wissahickon’s top-performing agents, for an honest, unfiltered conversation about today’s real estate world. We talk investing, market misconceptions, client realities, and the lessons that only come from years in the business — with a little real-life ranting along the way.

If you’re a buyer, seller, agent, or just trying to make sense of the market, this episode is full of perspective, experience, and Philly real talk.

In this episode of SOLD by MC, I’m joined by the hilarious, brilliant, and endlessly resourceful Kathy Krebs — a Philly agent known for her wild showing stories, practical wisdom, and no-nonsense advice for new agents.

Kathy shares the real, unfiltered side of real estate: the unexpected moments during showings, the biggest mistakes agents make without realizing it, and the simple habits that can make or break your early career. From hidden cameras to surprise sellers to agent preparedness tips you definitely didn’t learn in real estate school (yes… including bathroom etiquette), this conversation is as entertaining as it is educational.

We also dive into her journey from pharmaceutical research to real estate, the skills she’s carried over from staging and transition management, and why she believes every agent should get involved with industry committees like the Women’s Council of Realtors.

And of course — we wrap it all up with the SOLD by MC Quick-Fire Round and some fun Philly + real estate trivia that Kathy absolutely crushes.

Whether you’re a brand-new agent, a seasoned pro, or someone who just loves hearing the behind-the-scenes chaos of showings, this episode is packed with stories, strategy, and plenty of laughs.

In this episode of SOLD by MC, I’m joined by David Frankel, Senior VP of Mortgage Lending at Guaranteed Rate, former real estate agent and broker, and one of the most trusted lending voices in the Philly market.

David breaks down what buyers think they know about today’s market versus what’s actually happening behind the scenes — including why this moment might hold more opportunity than people realize. We talk about rate myths, why timing your primary residence matters, the truth behind “buy now, refi later,” and the mortgage products most buyers don’t even know exist.

For agents, David shares the biggest mistakes he sees during pre-approvals, what top-performing agents consistently do, and how to strengthen your buyer’s offer without changing the price.

And of course, we wrap up with the SOLD by MC signature quick-fire round — including David’s cheesesteak order and which Philly neighborhood he’d be based on personality.

Whether you’re a new agent, a seasoned pro, or a buyer trying to make sense of this market, this episode is full of clarity, strategy, and untapped opportunity.
