Most real estate websites aren’t built for clients—they’re built for other agents, brokers, or the agent’s own ego.

In this episode, I’m sharing how I actually think about real estate websites after nearly 30 years of designing them, and why simpler, more intentional sites convert better than flashy, overbuilt ones. Your website doesn’t need to be a funnel, a content library, or a personal brand scrapbook. It needs to pass the vibe check and make it easy for the right people to contact you.

We’ll talk about what your website is really for, the biggest mistakes I see agents make, and a minimal framework you can use whether you’re starting from scratch or reworking what you already have.

What You’ll Learn

• What a real estate website is actually supposed to do (and what it’s not)
• Why most agents build sites for other agents instead of clients
• How fewer pages can increase trust and conversion
• What people are really asking when they land on your website
• Why clarity beats clever copy every time
• The “vibe check” role your website plays in referral-based business
• How to design a site that makes contacting you an easy yes
• The Minimal Website Framework I Recommend

Your website doesn’t need to explain everything—it just needs to make starting a conversation feel natural.

Minimal sites work because they create less friction, fewer decisions, and more trust.

Consistency gets talked about like a personality trait in real estate—either you have it or you don’t. And if you struggle with it, you’re made to feel lazy, undisciplined, or bad at business.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why consistency is actually so hard for real estate agents—and why it’s not a character flaw. Real estate is event-driven, emotionally demanding, and packed with constant decision-making, which makes “just be consistent” some of the worst advice out there.

We’ll talk about what’s really getting in the way, why marketing is usually the first thing to drop, and how to build consistency that actually works in real life—not just in theory.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why inconsistency is a systems problem, not a willpower problem
• How the event-driven nature of real estate makes routines hard to maintain
• Why emotional load—not time—is the real reason marketing gets skipped
• How decision fatigue quietly kills follow-through
• Why marketing feels harder than client work (even when it’s simpler)
• The difference between being consistent and being constant
• What “non-negotiables” actually look like in a sustainable business
• How simple, pre-decided systems beat motivation every time

If consistency feels hard, it’s probably because you’ve been trying to brute-force it in a business that doesn’t reward routine.

You don’t need more motivation—you need fewer decisions, a simpler plan, and a system that keeps running even when life gets chaotic.

There’s a lot of real estate marketing advice that sounds good in theory—but feels exhausting, awkward, or downright gross in real life.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the five marketing “rules” I don’t follow anymore, why I stopped, and what I do instead. These are the shifts that allowed me to build a referral-based business that actually fits my life, my energy, and how I believe trust is built.

If your marketing feels heavy, forced, or misaligned, this episode is an invitation to question the rules you’ve been following—and decide what you’re ready to let go of.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why social media is optional—not required—for a successful real estate business
• Why you don’t have to cold call (or make 100 calls a day) to be effective
• How constant bragging can erode trust instead of building it
• Why sounding “professional” can actually make your marketing less effective
• The difference between supporting clients and pushing them to be ready
• What to focus on instead: consistency, familiarity, helpfulness, and being human

If your marketing feels draining, this isn’t a sign you’re bad at marketing—it’s probably a sign you’re following rules that don’t match how you build trust.
