369: 12 Things Real Estate Agents Should Actually Spend Money On

Being a real estate agent is NOT cheap. Between technology, marketing, brokerage fees, coaching, conferences, photography, lead generation and everything else we're told we "need," it's easy to spend those commission checks just as quickly as they come in. But what's actually worth the money? In this episode, I'm sharing the real estate investments I'm standing 10 toes down on. These are the tools, resources and experiences that have actually helped me build my business, serve my clients better, save time, and continue growing as a real estate agent. We're talking about everything from owning your CRM and investing in professional photography to coaching, conferences, transaction coordinators, client events, content creation tools and a few things you might not expect. And no, I'm not telling you to run out and buy everything on this list today. The goal is to start thinking like a business owner. As those commission checks come in, where can you intentionally reinvest some of that money into things that will help you grow? Because there's plenty of stuff you could spend money on in real estate. I want to help you figure out what's actually worth it.

368: The Back-to-School Strategy Every Real Estate Agent Needs

Back-to-school season isn't just for the kids. It's one of the best times of the year to reset your routines, reconnect with your community, and build momentum for the fall real estate market. In this episode, I'm sharing three simple strategies every real estate agent should be implementing right now to strengthen their pipeline before the busy fall season. We'll talk about how to create more structure in your business through time blocking, show up intentionally on social media with content your community actually cares about, and use everyday back-to-school events as opportunities to build real relationships through face-to-face conversations. The best part? None of these ideas require a big budget or complicated marketing plan. They're practical, repeatable, and designed to help you become the go-to real estate resource in your community. If you're ready to finish the year strong, this episode will help you get back to business with purpose. These strategies focus on time blocking, community-centered social media, and intentional conversations to build a stronger real estate pipeline heading into the fall market. ✨ Join the Bestie community (email list): https://www.rosemarylewis.com/list ✨ Six Figure Bestie Membership (weekly coaching for agents building to $100K+): https://www.rosemarylewis.com/sixfigurebestie ✨ Accelerator Coaching (high-level coaching + accountability): https://www.rosemarylewis.com/coach 👉🏾 FREE LIVE TRAINING • AUG 6 • 7 PM CT In 60 minutes, I'll show you the one social media strategy that gets people responding — and exactly how to turn those responses into clients and commissions.

365: What God Does With a Broken Heart | Psalm 34:18 Bible Study

Heartbreak comes in many forms. Sometimes it's the pain of losing someone you love. Sometimes it's betrayal, disappointment, unanswered prayers, or the weight of life itself. And sometimes, if we're honest, we've broken our own hearts through the choices we've made. So where is God in the middle of all of it? In this Bible study, we're walking through one of my favorite promises in Scripture: "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." (Psalm 34:18) Together we'll look at the lives of Joseph, Naomi, Ruth, and the woman at the well to discover how God's presence, redemption, and restoration show up in the middle of heartbreak. If you've been carrying grief, disappointment, betrayal, or simply feel weary, my prayer is that this study reminds you that your story isn't over. The same God who was near to them is still near to you. His Word isn't just something we read. It's living, active, and still changing lives today. This study explores how Psalm 34:18 comes to life through the stories of Joseph, Naomi, Ruth, and the woman at the well, showing God's faithfulness to the brokenhearted. 📖 Scriptures in this study: Psalm 34:18 Genesis 37 & 39 (Joseph) Ruth 1 & 4 (Naomi & Ruth) John 4 (The Woman at the Well) ✨ Join the Bestie community (email list): https://www.rosemarylewis.com/list ✨ Six Figure Bestie (for faith-driven real estate agents): https://www.rosemarylewis.com/sixfigurebestie ✨ Accelerator Coaching: https://www.rosemarylewis.com/coach 👉🏾 FREE LIVE TRAINING • AUG 6 • 7 PM CT In 60 minutes, I'll show you the one social media strategy that gets people responding — and exactly how to turn those responses into clients and commissions.

364: God & Money: How I Built a Real Estate Business His Way

Can we be honest for a second? You can be doing all the “right” things in your real estate business… and still feel overwhelmed, stretched, and low-key exhausted. More leads. More systems. More strategy. And somehow… still not at peace. That’s why this conversation hit different. In this episode, I sat down with Kat West and we talked about what really shifts when you stop building your business your way… and start building it God’s way. Not in a surface-level, “add a scripture to your caption” type of way… But in how you make decisions, how you structure your business, and how you show up every day. Kat shares how she went from striving and trying to hold everything together… to serving, letting go of control, and creating a business that actually supports her life. And what I love most is this: The strategy didn’t radically change… but her posture did. And that changed everything. We talk about leverage, time, money, and what it really looks like to trust God as your provider—not just say it, but actually live it out. If you’ve been feeling like “there has to be a better way to do this”… this is your episode. ✨ Connect with Kat: Instagram: https://instagram.com/katwestrealtor ✨ Join the Bestie community: https://www.rosemarylewis.com/list ✨ Six Figure Bestie (for agents building to $100K+): https://www.rosemarylewis.com/sixfigurebestie 👉🏾 FREE LIVE TRAINING • AUG 6 • 7 PM CT In 60 minutes, I'll show you the one social media strategy that gets people responding — and exactly how to turn those responses into clients and commissions.

363: You're Talking to Clients the Wrong Way (Here's Why)

What if your clients aren't saying "no"... They're just hearing you the wrong way? One of the biggest breakthroughs in my real estate career had nothing to do with lead generation, scripts, or social media. It came from learning how different personality types communicate and make decisions. In this episode, I'm breaking down the four communication styles every real estate agent should recognize before walking into a buyer consultation, listing appointment, or negotiation. You'll learn: Why some clients make decisions quickly while others need more time How to adjust your communication style for different personalities The biggest mistake agents make when talking to buyers and sellers Why it's not always what you say—but how you say it How understanding personality types can improve your confidence and your conversion rate Whether you're a brand-new agent or you've been selling homes for years, learning how to communicate with different personalities will help you build stronger relationships, earn more trust, and close more deals. Because every client is different... and the best agents know how to meet people where they are. This episode explores four common personality styles and how adapting your communication can transform conversations with buyers and sellers. ✨ Join the Bestie community (email list): https://www.rosemarylewis.com/list ✨ Six Figure Bestie Membership: https://www.rosemarylewis.com/sixfigurebestie 👉🏾 FREE LIVE TRAINING In 60 minutes, I'll show you the one social media strategy that gets people responding — and exactly how to turn those responses into clients and commissions.

362: The Referral Killer Most Realtors Never See Coming

Want more referrals? Most agents think they need more leads, more marketing, or more social media content. But what if the real problem is the experience you're creating for the people who already know you? In this episode, we're talking about one of the biggest missed opportunities in real estate: customer service. From past clients you've lost touch with, to current clients who need better communication, to future clients who are watching how you show up every day, every interaction is shaping your reputation and your business. You'll learn: Why past clients stop referring agents The simple follow-up habits that keep you top of mind How to create a better client experience Common communication mistakes that damage trust What future clients are paying attention to before they ever contact you Because real estate isn't the house business. It's the relationship business. And the agents who consistently earn referrals aren't always the best marketers. They're often the ones who make people feel seen, valued, and cared for long after the transaction is over. Inspired by real customer service experiences that highlighted what businesses often get wrong, this episode challenges agents to think differently about every stage of the client journey. If you want a business built on repeat clients, referrals, and genuine relationships, this episode is for you. ✨ Join the Bestie community (email list): https://www.rosemarylewis.com/list ✨ Six Figure Bestie (for agents building to $100K+): https://www.rosemarylewis.com/sixfigurebestie 👉🏾 FREE LIVE TRAINING In 60 minutes, I'll show you the one social media strategy that gets people responding — and exactly how to turn those responses into clients and commissions.

361: AI Is Making Your Marketing Worse

AI is one of the most powerful tools available to business owners right now. It's also making a lot of real estate agents completely forgettable. In this episode, we're talking about the AI pandemic happening across social media and why so many agents are accidentally blending into the noise instead of standing out. The problem isn't AI itself. The problem is how we're using it. When every flyer looks the same, every caption sounds the same, and every profile photo feels more artificial than authentic, we stop building the one thing that actually drives business: trust. We'll talk about: Why AI-generated marketing is becoming white noise The danger of losing your authentic voice online Common AI mistakes real estate agents are making How to stand out in a sea of identical content What to do instead if you actually want clients to know, like, and trust you Because at the end of the day, real estate is still a people business. The agents who win won't be the ones using the most AI. They'll be the ones using it strategically while still showing up as real humans. If you're ready to create content that actually connects, this episode is for you. ✨ Free Training: https://www.rosemarylewis.com/training ✨ Join the Bestie community (email list): https://www.rosemarylewis.com/list ✨ Six Figure Bestie (for agents building to $100K+): https://www.rosemarylewis.com/sixfigurebestie 👉🏾 FREE LIVE TRAINING In 60 minutes, I'll show you the one social media strategy that gets people responding — and exactly how to turn those responses into clients and commissions.
