In this episode of the Be The Solution Podcast, host Maria Quattrone sits down with Matt Muscat, Marketing Director at Treadstone and a real estate marketing strategist who has worked with 3,500+ real estate agents across the country.
This conversation is a deep dive into how real estate agents can generate leads consistently, even in slower markets — by creating opportunities instead of waiting for the phone to ring. Matt breaks down why most agents struggle, how to fix your calendar first, and how simple daily actions can dramatically increase listings, referrals, and income.
If you’re a real estate agent looking for practical lead generation ideas, better conversations, and more control over your business, this episode is required listening.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
How Real Estate Agents Actually Create Leads
Matt explains why “just checking in” calls rarely convert and why opportunity-based conversations produce significantly more business. Agents who call with a purpose — a property, a situation, or a reason — see much higher conversion rates.
Why Your Calendar Determines Your Income
One of Matt’s most powerful insights:
“Show me your calendar, and I’ll show you why you’re not getting business.”
Most agents don’t block enough time for lead-generating activities they control. Matt recommends dedicating at least 40% of your calendar to actions that directly create opportunities.
The 3×3 Real Estate Lead Generation Strategy
A simple, repeatable daily strategy:
- Choose 3 interesting properties
- Contact 3 specific people about each property
This creates relevance, personalization, and positions you as the market expert — without cold calling or scripts. Over a month, this equals nearly 200 meaningful conversations.
